I'm not surprised. After the delay various people posted several credible MP rumor sources here, but threads always got closed/deleted quickly.

They are diverting resources into creating a multiplayer, when they could be using them to make a better and bigger SP. Shame.

No. Gah. I hate this logic. If they decided from the get go that they were not doing multiplayer, the multiplayer people would not be working on single-player stuff.

See, working on one thing typically does not equate to drawing away resources from another because everyone has a task they are good at. The bulk of the multiplayer stuff is coding and balance and such, something you'd need a dedicated team to begin with. Now, if all of Bioware was comprised of expert game designers in every single area, then *maybe* your complaint would have merit.

Otherwise, they simply posted job postings for multiplayer designers awhile ago. The only resource diverted is paying them, which is inconsequential to the game.

It pretty much is unless proven otherwise.  Two people knew more info than was on the cover.  There's nothing on the cover about a Gamescom reveal or it being playable in September.  So you have three separate sources saying the same thing.  

Other way round. Its false until proven otherwise.

You have multiple sources confirming the same thing, something that's been rumored about anyway for a long time.

The legitimacy of this is still in question. Alot of magazines put misleading blurbs on their covers to create buzz and have people buy a copy. Ive seen it before dozens of times, especially with gaming magazines. It could very well be that they are simply qouting Hudson again on his debunking of multiplayer.

Also, I would like to point out that the existance of multiplayer does not ruin a single player campaign. Not in the slightest. It is often different teams that develop both games, so time is not sucked away from one to the other. If you don't like multiplayer, you don't have to play it. That's what I've done with every single CoD game I've played and I still enjoy them. The same could be said for Uncharted or Assassins Creed.

People need to stop exploding over little snippets of possible information.

And yet not one i would consider a credible source. They have provided no qoutes, no screens, no info bar what is said on the front cover.

Magazines, newspapers etc do things like this all the time. Casey has said things regarding multiplayer multiple times and saying that it would be considered in the future. Could easily be changed into what they put on the front cover to attract sales. Afterall he DID mention MP so they arnt technically lying. I wonder how much money the mag will make off of this alone now.

Agreed, I think people need to just relax an realise these are 3 random people who won't even name their source.

I'll reserve judgement until I hear from a reliable source.

Edit: Always seem to get ninja'd while i'm re-reading my post.

Dragon age 2 was a disaster, I really don't want mass effect to turn out the same, why must developers cater towards the idiots who find pulling a trigger and camping fun? Ah well if bioware crash an burns then it's their fault for joining ea.

Donaldson stated it's a Gamescom reveal and playable at two UK shows in September.  That's more detail than on the cover.

My initial reaction

Then I realized that it's not surprising, and so long as the story doesn't suffer, I'm okay. But I think we can all agree that any short coming from the single player will definitely be blamed on the multiplayer.

Is he a BioWare employee? Nope. Its not hard to make that up..

Besides before you all panic just wait until Gamescom until you can start ripping your hair out. Cause it shall be confirmed or denied by then.

People shouldn't give credence to this rumour when they give nothing solid to back up their statements.

Edit: typo

The multiplayer announcement really needs its own thread either that or the name of the thread needs to be changed.

This is more or less that thread...

There actually should be multiple threads about this.  One discussing the details in the magazine (this one), another about the announcement itself and what it means, and finally a third about the complaints.

This is probably the biggest announcement about the game since the Reaper reveal.

I agree that your third point should DEFINITELY have its own thread, I think the first two work together however

So you have two separate sources making stuff up now that matches with job postings from last year along with other rumors?

but don't you know?

When people imply that being with EA = selling your soul they are usually met by a reply along the lines of "well, it was not a hostile takeover...... EA is not that bad........ we have all the freedom we had before.......they do not tell us what to do" and blah blah blah


right......I'm totally buying thay

[RainyDayLover]

Uncharted 2 is one of the defining single experiences of this generation and it had multiplayer......why do people care if there is multiplayer when they'll never play it? Just goes about to show how self-centered everyone is; I trust the ME team enough that I know it won't detract from the singleplayer experience whatsoever.

[Babli]

Bioware fans: We dont want the multiplayer for ME 3!

Bioware reaction: MULTIPLAYER!!!

Isn't one source using the other source as confirmation? That's like me saying banks are giving free away free money and someone else repeats it. Then when asked to show proof, he points to me. Yeah, he has a source, but in the end, the banks are still going to call the police.

Casey Hudson said that they haven't found a good way to implement multiplayer without compromising the singleplayer story, and ME3 is all about the story...

QFT

I really do wonder about the intelligence of people when they can't process this simple thought into their head and try using such lame illogical comments of "They could've got the people working on the MP to further improve the SP" my other favourite for facepalming at is "If they add Multiplayer I should be able to get a discount on it because I won't play it"...

Anyone who says the latter really does show how dumb they are and an obvious retort to that is... so if you buy an album but you don't like some tracks on it, do you take it back to the store and demand a discount for the tracks you state you'll never play? No... right, same thing with the games then isn't it, deal with it!

Edit: @Someone With Mass, you mean like... NigelFishN'Chips leading a squad of Alliance Soldiers (players) vs group of enemies (AI) in an attempt to defend various places around Earth and other planets from the Reaper invasion? (I'll admit this is just an idea that springs into my mind, it might not be true, but its an obvious one they could use that does fit the story)

No apparently Donaldson has his own source.  Not to mention him stating it being playable in September which is not on the cover.

"Nah, leave that bit. Will speak to source and if I get 110% verification will update."

I'm still not seeing the problem people have with EA. Besides, it's been confirmed in another thread that the decisions BioWare makes to their games come from BioWare.

dude........ you really think that if that was not case EA would let Bioware say anything about it?

seriously?

I do not care about the politics of it all, Honestly tho I wish Bioware kept the whole ME Franchise tied to Microsoft as a publisher
