Mass Effect 3 Interview: BioWare Talks Shepard, Kinect, RPGs - NowGamer

A segment

What do you see as the current holy grail for RPGs right now?

To
be honest, I don’t know.  I never consider myself an RPG developer, and
I don’t really worry about traditional genre conventions other than our
own goals for making a great game. Typically our goals - creating
interactive story, compelling progression, intense combat, and
exploration -result in games that are classified as RPGs. But my
intention is always to make the best possible story-driven games, and
for me and my team, the next great design that we’re excited about is
what we’re doing with ME3.

Wii U was announced
at E3 - what are your views on the console? Have you got any ideas
about how you'd make the most of its unique features?

It’s
an interesting system.  One of the challenges and opportunities with
that kind of device is that it takes a while to really figure out what
the amazing forms of gameplay will be – but it also has enough
flexibility to potentially do things that are totally unprecedented in
games.  It’s very exciting, but I definitely need to think more about it
and spend more time with the actual hardware.

Enjoy folks.

And remember, Stay respectful to other opinions, no Hate rants, and no matter your platform preference, all platforms are equally valid for entertainment.

Thanks. I shall read this when I have the time.

ME3 for Wii..... what will they think of next?

[Boiny Bunny]

For the Wii U perhaps. Seeing as it's hardware will be far more powerful than that of a 360 or PS3 (well, from all reports so far - no actual details yet), I don't see why not. Nintendo and EA have already announced a massive partnership to go ahead on the Wii U, and it looks like it will be getting all multiplatform games to come.

I think the real test will be whether Nintendo force companies to make use of its special features like it did with the Wii. If they do, the games will probably bomb.

Thanks javier.. it was a nice article to read.

Well said, Casey Hudson. Less worrying over genre classification, and more time spent making a quality product. I approve.

Shepard's story could finish its arc in Mass Effect 3. Do you think it will be the last we see of him?

I know the precise answer to that, but can’t tell ya.

Direct sequel confirmed right there, people.

And thanks for posting this bit of news, Jav.

Would be nice if they brought out some more ME games that arnt directly realated to the current trilogy and if you import a game save your custom shep can make a quick cameo.

Doubt it.  Multiple developers from Bioware, including Casey, have stated that ME3 will in fact close Shepard's story arc completely.

The nature of his response in the above interview seems more to indicate that Shepard will die (or similar), and he doesn't want to reveal that, so he dodges the question.

Watch them pull a Halo and announce a second trilogy to continue Shepard's story involving something bigger than the Reapers the day ME3 is released.

;_; Shep can't die she/he has to make little blue babies with Liara. . .

Or at least get "Worst Other Parent" Award from them for being frozen in a time capsule only to be released hundreds of years later for the new big bad.

[ThePwener]

Yeah, let's kill the same guy... again. Makes perfect sense.

[SNascimento]

Well, when you see one interview you see than all. Beside that, I really like Casey Hudson's posture regarding game developement... it's not a coincidence that KoTOR and ME2 are 2 of my 3 favorite games.

Thats exactly what i was thinking when i read that, but that defeats the purpose of multiple choice storytelling really...

Agent Smith Said...

It is inevitable...Mr.Anderson!

I too hope that there is at least one ending where Shepard does not die!  That said - I also do want an ending where Shepard dies.

And no endings with rainbows and unicorns.  Some sacrifice has to be made somewhere along the way.  Perhaps we could have a Virmire type choice, but with 2 species (via their home planets - say Salarians and Turians) to choose from.  Saving one gives different advantages in the final battle, and obviously has large plot implications.

[ThePwener]

BW laready said that ME3's "Happy Ending" isn't happy. They said "no celebration after ending".

It could be worse. They could announce a second trilogy, make it PG, and have kiddy friendly squadmates who are clumsy and talk all funnyfunny. <_<

[Homebound]

maybe it will be like a darkspawn ending where shepard or alistair has to slay the reapers.

And make Brian Blessed the leader of the clumsy tribe.

If Shepard dies we won't get post-game DLC.

:oDON'T GIVE THEM IDEAS!

Best movies with heroes always have the hero dying. I just hope there is more than 2 variants of it though (galaxy saved/galaxy reaped).

Edit: @Fredvdp We've never truly had post-game DLC anyway, whilst yes there is references made in LotSB and Arrival if done post-game, it was also playable pre-end game.

The way they could do it for post-game players is have it so that there is a post-game save where Shepard is in the toilet of their cabin staring at the mirror and it marks it down that the DLC mission is played as if taking place before the final stage/s of the campaign.

Disagree.

Also, Mass Effect is not a movie.

BINGO. 

This is what the RPG community has never understood about Bioware. Unlike the old school RPG developers, Bioware's goal and purpose has ALWAYS been to create an engaging story over making true pure RPGs like Fallout etc. Writing was to be ABOVE anything else and Bioware was and is willing to sacrifice RPG mechanics to create a more compelling narrative. 

To be honest, that's the Bioware I like. It has always been the stories and always been the characters that both Bioware and I valued beyond the stats and beyond the D&D number crunching. If anything, Bioware doesn't really make RPGs, they're making cinematic interactive narratives with the player playing a role in the story.
