Okay, so we all know that ME3 will have Kinect support as of now. This was rumored before and then confirmed at E3. Now as of today the latest rumor from someone on the inside mentioned by G4 and Gameinformer is that ME3 will feature 4 player co-op. The co-op is not supposed to be tied to the main game but instead only be a handful of missions made specifically for that reason. A co-op campaign pretty much. My problem with this is that Bioware pushed the game back to give themselves more time. Now I would personally rather have them spend that precious time ironing out all the bugs and making it the best possible game they can as opposed to adding even more things that are not needed to appeal to an even broader audience. My opinion is to leave the Call of Duty & Battlefield crowd be and finish this series strong. Then if they want to go Co-Op or multiplayer in a new ME trilogy or a new IP...fine. Honestly, I still have hope for ME3 but if it turns out bad there is no way Bioware (or anyone for that matter)can say they did not have enough time and/or resources.

So is it wise for BW to be putting supposed time &resources into other extra things or is it a potential downfall?

Also, before anyone says it, Yes I know it hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but we all know how many "rumors" float around the game industry that usually come true. It is only a matter of time for most (90%) rumors to be validated.

Oh look, it's this thread again.

-sighs- You know why I think BioWare hasn't outright confirmed that this rumor is false? Because it's Free Publicity

Someone who only plays MP games will go huh, what's this rumor. And then he might check out what Mass Effect is, get interested and go play it. Regardless if the rumor is true or not.

ME is not and will never be a multiplayer game.

To actually respond to your topic, TC,

I've heard this rumor and I would not be against it.  It would probably be the only way Multiplayer Mass Effect could work, short of an MMO.

I hope though you can play as custom Shepards online, as well as Party NPC's.

As i said in the other thread...they are working on how they can implement MP in ME3, but have not found a way. Thus, they have not said anything one way or the other.

Either they will find a way to shoe it in(lame, would make me cancel my pre-order CE), or they will simple make a MP spin-off(much, much, MUCH better idea).

They've only said they are looking at MP in the future of the company, which covers all their bases whether MP is in ME3, or in another "future" game.

Actually I simply meant this particular rumor has had multiple threads on it...today.

[MadLaughter]

And now that you've contributed something to the topic, (also acceptable would have been to post what you just did, or stay out of posting entirely) I've edited my post.

Kind of a smart ploy. But if it is indeed true then ME3 might turn out to be a different game entirely. Well depending on how much time and money they put into it.

If it's true, then the SP isn't getting the resources that it should.

Even though Chud has said they are working on "the best SP experience of the series" everytime someone has asked him via Twitter about co-op, MP.

All I know is that if MP is added then there is gonna be serious fanrage.

Quoted for serious truth.

I get the feeling that Javier really wouldn't mind a suicide mission through the Omega 4 relay right about now   .  I am totally against MP but I do not see the point of continually posting about this topic.  It is pretty clear Bioware are not going to say anything on the issue till they are good and ready.  So we might as well forget about it till they are ready to drop the bombshell.

Custom Sheps would be sweet, but then it wouldn't make sense. I would like it to be whoever joins someone elses game gets to play as a squaddie of their choosing while the main player plays Shep. Whatever the Suaddie gets in XP, money or items they can then bring back to their own game or something like that. Or maybe they can even create their own Shepard which can double as a squaddie under a different name in someone else's game or something. There are plenty of ways they could do it I just hope they would choose to do it after ME3. After seeing/hearing about all the other unnecessary bells and whistles they are adding to the game I am kind of getting paranoid.

We'll see how the multiplayer-rumor saga ends, but I for one don't believe it's just all complete BS given how many of these rumors there've been already.

And the hilarious thing is that each "journalism" website that puts this rumor up keeps mentioning

"X website says this, and OUR mole also confirms it" and then the next website will quote that website with the same message, as if each "journalism" website has it's very own mole.

haha! yeah I know. He is good with words I tell you that much. I agree though. The SPC can never get as much attention and resources as it could if it were the main and only focus. But, it isn't just the MP that is bothering me. It's all of the extra stuff that isn't needed but takes more time and money than it is really worth. Next they will be saying they are working on Move support as well as an online hub of some sort, etc, etc.

It kinda seemed like they had with SWTOR

Ok I get it, you want to complete the single player ME campaign. Why would MP bother you? Because you assume it takes away resources from the SPC. Why not assume that they have hired the necessary assets to complete this with out taking resources away from the SPC? The only ones that truly know are Bioware employees working on it.

Oh but they are spending more money to do it. Well unless you own stock in EA or Bioware ( I do not think Bioware is publicly traded) then who are we to tell Bioware what to do with their money. Also, Bioware wants a piece of the MP pie and in business you usually have to spend more than what you have saved (its called investing or speculating) to increase revenues and hopefully net profits.

Like someone said, it could be rumor to get the name out there and attrack people that only play MP.

Additionally, if Bioware pushes this I am sure they are going to be very carefull about it. It would be their first venture into the MP on consoles at least (correct me if I am wrong) and I am 100% that Bioware takes their reputation very very seriously.

Some one also said that it would be better to just release a spin off and I am also cool with that and I believe that if Bioware can't find a way to make MP in ME 3 successful they will release a spin off.

Lastly.. if people do not want to play co op or MP it is not mandatory. don't play it. No need to get mad about it.

The remarks mirror what executive producer Casey Hudson told us in an interview during our Mass Effect 3 cover story. "As a single-player experience, and just as a world that people want to immerse themselves in and share, we've been trying to think of a way that makes sense for people to experience Mass Effect with their friends. We haven't yet come up with a way to do that, so we don't have anything to announce at this time. But, obviously, multiplayer is something we want to do more of in the future as a company."

Cordially...

Kinect and MP combnied in a single thread!
Now if we can only keep it that way, so I only have to ignore one thread at a time.

[Hathur]

Oh, and Casey Hudson posted this: http://twitter.com/#...407467602448385 today on his twitter.

Just let it die already, people.
