Those CG faces all looked awful though in comparison to in-game. They didn't have any definition.

This would only manage make a Vega one even more incredible in my mind.

Tangent: I keep reading my line in Keith David's voice now. Like that "Spectres are born" thing from ME1.

"Testers don't make games, they test them." *Anderson stare*

Okay now that has merged with your avatar to form some sort off Ben Branderson
image in my head when I read your posts. I'm not sure if I am happy with
this new development or not, but I have a feeling it isn't going to go
away.

HAHAHA. That is... a very weird combination.

I'm imagining John Crichton with Anderson's voice. It isn't working.

You do not how much the budget for either ME3 or ME2. You are assuming that they have not increased the budget for multiplayer.

You are assuming that they would.

So then lets stop assuming.

I'd rather there just was no multiplayer at all, so there isn't any potential issues with the single player game.

Not every game needs to have a multiplayer mode, and Mass Effect has done just fine without it for two games. I see no reason to tack it on for the third.

Should the test online test specialist been hired from the beginning?

Testers don't make the games, they test them.

But thats not how you create software. You don't test it all at the end. You create it little by little and test each part. This will have millions of lines of code (windows xp has 40 million), maybe thousands of functions. You will have to maybe create testing oracles, do regression and intergration testing. All the program functions will have to tested to see if they work. I mean really work not just have the correct answer but also the  correct methods for having said answer. 

And this is why ME3 will most likely not have multiplayer.

I am not saying it will or will not but its looking less likely from where I am standing. I think if that was the case this guy should have been hired a while back because of said reasons. Also they have missed all the big game conferences, E3 would have been the perfect stage. We are 3/4 into 2011. Lastly nothing has slipped -no fuzzy images, nothing.

There was no reason to add DLC since ME has done fine without it. I doubt they are using a lot of funding for the Multiplayer to the point where they actually had to take resources away. It is likely they may take some money away from DLC or even Marketing. Right now taking money away from singleplayer wouldn't make much sense since the game is basically done. They are basically putting in all the finishing touches and adding a few features.

Another day, another rumor. I'll be over here awaiting your inevitable disappointment when your rumors don't happen or pan out as you think they will.

There's still the VGA awards

Glad to have Vertigo-level confirmation.

Heh, I've taken some software development classes for my Comp. Sci. degree

Plus Devs have been testing ME3 themselves for some time now...say they just added a new power, they want to test and see if it properly shows up in the game; if it does they would probably leave it as it until playthrough tests...which are happening right now actually.

At least this is what I've pieced together from their tweets

You secretly spread these rumours and feed off of the feverish ramblings, anguished cursing, and the aforementioned inevitable disappointment that spouts forth on BSN from such, don't you?

[Zebron is reaL]

vague promises of news can only mean multiplayer! Of course!

Well this rumor will(hopefully!) be shot down in a few days anyway, so whatever.

They reveal trailers though! And some trailers are centered around MP.

That little devil smiley has become something of a boxblock for me.

Granted, I'd rather NOT have multiplayer, but TEH INFORMATIONS!!

Nice. I'm thinking of getting into some software development courses next year. I'm in that "what do?" stage of my life. All I know for sure is that I'm getting some voice acting done sometime.

When you guys hype stuff up like this: "I’ll give you a hint … its big news that a lot of you have been eagerly awaiting. Check back in a few days for more on this exciting announcement."

Yea, people tend to think it's something "big" since, you know, you said it is...if it's nothing that important, then just say you have an announcement.
