Interesting interview with the good Doctors in Eurogamer.

"We listen to our fans all of the time," Muzyka continued. "We listen to them on the forums, their feedback from stories. We're reading it all. If we can get ideas out of it that will make the game better, sure. We're not adverse to taking feedback. That's part of our core values, is humility. Any time we get a good idea from fans... they're our
audience. They keep us in business."

Not sure how much BioWare can change this late in development. Still, good that they may get something positive from the leak.

No spoilers please!

They aren't going to change a thing. The game is probably already finished and they are just waiting on the multiplayer.

The game is already finished? So the devs are just making up those tweets containing their progress, then?


By "progress" you mean simply polishing and tweaking?

Bioware are pretty much done with ME3, they're just adding the finishing touches.


Which (regardless of whether you're actually corrrect or not) means the exact same thing as "They're not done."


going all technical eh. surely you've got better things to do than be as pedantic as that :whistle:


The game is not done by anyone's definition. Let's end the conspiracy theories that keep popping up on threads.

On Nov. 1st Casey tweeted that they were reviewing romance plots.

Nov. 10-11th senior writers are still writing in game content.

It's called crunch for a reason.

As far as feedback goes, I can personally attest to the fact that forums/facebook/twitter are monitored and sentiment is reported (by me and other awesome people on our community team). Feedback is absolutely critical to game development, as I've said here, and you should continue giving feedback in a civil and constructive manner with good intentions. No one's going to take someone seriously that spews hate and argumentative behavior. We have really exemplary community members here and I want you to know that we are in fact listening.


And to quote Ray from the OP article:
"You edit it continually. It's a living process to build a game and it's also a living experience to play through it. You're seeing the graphics, you're seeing the choices, you're seeing the characters. Words alone on a page, they're not delivered in voice over, they're not delivered in the interface, they're not delivered as your character, with your choices up to that point imbuing them with meaning and purpose and identity, the emotion part of it.

"A lot of the art now in video games is developed in an interesting way where subtle expressions and facial animation, a tilt of the head, the way the camera is positioned, the lighting in a room, they can set the tone and the mood, the sound effects, the layer of audio that's put over the top of a scene, that stuff is really important.

"What I would suggest to the fans is, we're going to make sure we deliver an awesome experience as we have in prior Mass Effect games. Don't spoil the story. The fun of the story is uncovering things and exploring and finding new points to adventure in. I hope they don't lose that joy of discovery."


I should go.

I guess what all this comes down to is a theme that I made at a panel I hosted at "GeekGirlCon". So many people have opinions but don't voice them, especially when it's a good one. Prior to working at BioWare, I was a forum lurker. Read stuff but never directly engaged. Thus my opinion and my voice was never heard. This is something I think needs to change in fandom if we want supportive communities. Make your voice heard. I should make a forum post about this...

To go back on topic (don't want to have to ban myself!) I would say that the dev team is not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Someone please tell me where this game being delayed rhetoric is coming from?
