Hudson already confirmed - twice - that there wouldn't be any multiplayer, and I find it funny that they would have suddenly changed their minds.

EA.......

Oh right, forgot about that.

One might also think for an annoucnement of this magnitude, we might send Casey to Cologne to make it instead of him staying here in Edmonton to work on the game.

Still, I love watching the responses these rumors generate. I shall have my "I told you so" ready for later.

Ok, Bioware Edmonton develops Mass Effect.

Now, imagine Bioware Montreal develops the MP component seperately.

Problem solved?

Developing multiplayer costs money... Lets say it costs $1million for some guy in mars to do that work which bioware contract to dev it.

Well despite what anyone tells you (or what bioware will try to claim)  that is $1million that could have went into extra single player testing, development of better textures, better animations etc etc 

Paying for multiplayer, that the vast majority of the fan base do not want, does effect the quality of the single player game.

That money could have been extra levels, better textures, a better PC port, dx11 support, less bugs or any number of things 

[/quote]see at least your point holds some merit. but honestly for ME3, the budget while not limitless is big enough to foot the bill for multiplayer and not have it hurt singleplayer.

you can throw out hypotheticals like "if they didnt have multiplayer they could have better animations" and stuff like that, but its baseless and might not even be true.

again. we know nothing about the details of multiplayer player other than that it likely exists.

So the article is pure speculation based on a magazine cover that was talking about the same unconfirmed rumours that have been meandering around the internet for months?

Seems legit...

Its not speculation, its seems Bioware (or our evil chris) wants to keep the huge bomb kept till tommorrow.

Its the official press announcement from gamescom.

Gamescom is saying that they got some of the information from the internet and from their research, so it might not be official at all. But of course it can still be true

Exactly. The article is just quoting the same stuff we've known about for ages. The main focus of it is that magazine article that turned out to be bogus. I'm seriously unconvinced by all these rumours.

However, if Bioware is going to reveal multiplayer I'm going to reserve judgement until I know more about it. If it is simply competitive multiplayer like, say, Gears of War than unless it is better than its rivals it will be pointless. However, bioware may be able to do something a bit more unique. Some single player games, like Assassin's Creed and Portal have actually benefited from having multiplayer - a different take on competitive style multiplayer in AC or the co-op stuff in Portal 2.

Bioware could do something very interesting so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and wait until I know more before throwing a tantrum.

Kinect Gimmicks - Check
Multiplayer - (Apparently) Check
Whats next?

Whatever Bioware feels like adding

Dragoonlordz wrote...
So basically this delay it would seem (imho) was purely to add those two things? Should of just released the single player RPG without delaying to add those EA features.

But by delaying they SP devs have more time to work on the game so it is a good thing.

Time spent wasted on gimmicks should be spent adding/improving exploration, quests and prolonging the story and not on talking to yourself via a peice of plastic on top TV or some silly multiplayer that vast majority of people on this forum atleast specifically asked to not have it. While multiplayer is rumour probably , Kinect wasn't and I really am mainly curious what the real delay was for in first place if not working purely on single player game then I consider it time wasted.

i dont get this stance of people thinking multiplayer existing is going to ruin the game.

Every cent on multiplayer is a cent that could have been spent on signle player. At worst, it means no extra dev. time or budget for the game as a whole, just a portion of that remvoed from SP to single player.

at best it'll be a fun multiplayer or co-op mode. at worst it'll be a half-assed tacked on multiplayer that doesnt effect the single player experience.

How does co-op work with a dialogue wheel. It makes no sense.

Hopefully it there won't be a multiplayer or at least isn't a huge expensive feature but to say there isn't a trade off just isn't true. Resouces are scare so there is always a trade off.

What is also rumored, is not multiplayer at all, but a 3 player squad based mission segment parallel to the main story that has been confused as multiplayer. Tommorrows announcement can be found here starting tommorrow morning.

A kind of Co-Op? That's honestly even worse. It's a step toward Co-Op compaigns.

Wait a minute you believe they delay the game for multiplayer and kinect support time won't be wasted correct?

Whats the big deal about multiplayer?

There WILL still be a single player mode, right?

Nobody's forcing you to play MP.

Now if they made ME3 require multiplayer to complete, then that would be a valid reason for whining.

When you're given a game, you're given a certain amount of data it can take up, eg. DA2 took up roughly 7GBs or so. Multiplayer means a lot more coding and a lot more data, which means less data can be set aside for the actual gameplay of single player ME3 which means corners are cut, less effort is put into single player and story, etc.

Which pretty much equals out to: Worst end of a triology ever. You guys REALLY wanna sacrifice the final game of Shepard's story for what will probably be s%#$ MP anyway? No? Didn't think so.

Mass effect 1, 2 and 3 are simply not DESIGNED for MP and there is no way you can logically incoporate this into story in my opinon.

MP Mass Effect Game is a cool idea, just make it seperate please, like Assassin's Creed did with Brotherhood.

Besides, I wouldn't believe the rumours. Until Casey or someone LEGIT comes forward and straight out, no beating around a bush says: 'Yes, Mass Effect 3 will have multiplayer', there is NO multiplayer, no matter what some dodgy German site says. <_<

How does co-op work with a dialogue wheel. It makes no sense.

dumping extra cash into single player can only do so much. you could dump another 5 million into the ME3 development and its going to start having deminishing returns on what gets produced, since you can only do so much.

i dont know how it works. i havent seen it. it could be a seperate mode launched from the main menu unrelated to the main game with deathmatch, CTF,ect. or it could be a co-op mode where smoeone takes control of your squadmates during combat.

they could have a dialogue system that works like that new dungeon siege game where the first player has the real choice in the dialogue but theres a 2nd player indicator to show what dialogue choice they'd like to pick.

but i dont really know. its not something im worried about. you can imagine a ton of "worst case scienarios" if you like, but even being as big of a cynic as i am, i'll remain cautiously optimistic until i have actual reasons not to be.
