 Hey guys

Just reading an interview with Mac Walters in 360 Gamer magazine and thought I'd share a few relevant quotes with you. Take into account this was likely done before the endings backlash.

When asked what his favourite moment of the trilogy is so far:

'I have to say when I saw the final hour-ish of Mass Effect 3 come together it was something that, having written much of it, whether it was just the emotion of it - I've been on the project for 8 years now - finally seeing it wrap up and tie together and having a chance to say goodbye to these characters; the sense of wrapping it up in a way I found personally very rewarding and fulfilling.'

'As a writer you always worry on something like this, and certainly as a trilogy you worry did you do everything you could to bring it to this satisfactory finale and we came away feeling 'yes I'd love to be back in that universe' and 'thank you for ending it properly'.

'Having seen it come together I was just like 'wow'. I was so emotionally moved by it but I could also take that deep sigh and go 'Yeah, we did it'. We did everything we could anyway, and to me it's one of the things I'm most proud of'.

When asked where he saw the trilogy going from here:

'I think it will be less about what I want and more about what the fans want.' This is the end of Shepard's story so I think for a lot of the characters, if not ALL the characters and everything that's happening in the current timeline, this is the end.'

'To go back and re-tell that in some way I don't think would work.'

'Who knows about the future? I can't talk about it too much because I don't want to give away the endings but it really is kind of limitless. And the passionate fans that we have are always going to want to see something happening in this universe so I can imagine there will be something eventually, but this is definitely the end of SHepard's story'.

When asked about the science of the game being plausible

'From very early on we wanted the science of the universe to be plausible. Obviously it's set in the future so you have to make some leaps of faith but we didn't want it to be just magic in space'. 

:whistle:

So there you go. Seems like the endings were possibly not a rush job after all, but actually deliberate?

Here's the website for the magazine but the review is only in the hard copy I'm afraid.

So many different responses from so many different sides - I would put more stock in what Hudson and the other devs are saying, though, about possibly changing things.

Whenever you read quotes of them talking about the ending it's like they deliberately describing the exact opposite of the ending that you get.

Well, the science thing was thrown out the window with this anyway but:

. And the passionate fans that we have are always going to want to see something happening in this universe so I can imagine there will be something eventually, but this is definitely the end of SHepard's story'.


I could have signed this statement just 28 hours ago. THen I saw the ending and now I say: NO!!!!

Not like this, not any more!

Fix this first, then we can talk.

All this statements sound like someone switched the beta with the release version. I mean, come on. We get 100% of the opposite that is claimed.

Is he off his rocker? I don't think he's talking about the game we all played...

Haha, they are still proud of their ending and keep calling it "satisfactory". Do they even have internet in Canada?:o

This.

Reading that, knowing how the game ends, just doesn't add up. To me it's like they are talking about another game or at the very least another ending than the one we get.

I got more of a emotional response when the combined firepower of the galaxies fleets took down a few Reapers before heading down to Earth. I actually jumped out of my chair and said, "Yeah! How do you like it!"

Fast forward a hour and a half and I was sitting in my chair going, "Whaa.. da.. and the Normandy... how?"

I think they're trying to deflect all of the negativity towards the ending.

I don't think it's working very well, considering its kind of making them look dumb.

WTF, you screwed Mass Relays, and this guy still thinks there will be post-game after ME3.

How the hell we'll travel in galaxy ? By teleporting like our squadmate teleported to normandy ? Or using Krogan fart as new type of fuel.

****** off
