So the supposed BW employee says that Shepard got damaged and that his brain implants are destroyed so he is coma. Could buy that if not for EDI that said Shepard has NOT any implant on his brain.

And what is most annoying is that the starchild posseses Shepard through his implants. How is that possible if it is said that his implants got destroyed and that's why he is on coma?

And yeah, we'll play a DLC without the main character being Shepard. It's obvioulsy fake.

Dear gods. And when I thought that the things couldn't get worse.

If this turns out to be true(I really, REALLY hope it won't), then , as for me, these guys lost touch with their own franchise.

Spiritual successor? Haha.

ME was space opera with growing dark edge.
This? It looks completly like some postapocalyptic cyberpunk.

I guess it's time for me to say farewell to this IP and find another fandom.


LoL he believes it. Good Job y.m. !ad :wizard:

Sounds GOOD. I hope this is real and they can pull it off. If not real - that they consider some ideas from it.

I would still prefer to have an option in ME3 to put a bullet through the head of God-Kid, but the idea of post-apocalypse galactic world is fine to me.

y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:40 No.2441036

    Last night I leaked the only available digital details of Terminator and Mass
    Shift. After speaking with a close friend who is an attorney, I've decided
    to take the risk of of expounding.

    I am a virtual lightning technician who has been working for BioWare for over 8
    years now. I've been the sole creator of the lighting partitions of all of
    BioWare's engines and engine plugins in recent years. In layman's terms, I am
    a very specific kind of graphics artist.

    I am no longer a part of the companies in question.

    My reasoning for the leak was to draw attention to what BioWare has become. The
    company, for about 5 years now, has been dominated by EA Games' strict timetables
    and budget restraints. I'd like to express my continuing admiration of BioWare and
    the entirety of its staff--the most talented staff I've had the priviledge to work
    with in my career, which spans 19 years. My admiration for them is why I even
    bother to draw attention to the predicament that the company now faces.

    I am not a doomsayer. BioWare likely has a successful road ahead of them, but the
    money stops mattering so much when female colleagues get off the phone with EA
    upper management crying over threats of replacement. The success stops mattering
    when a dark cloud hangs over a team that is doing the best with the restraints
    that have been placed upon them. Nothing was more heartbreaking than the moment
    when Dragon Age 2, which was not yet in alpha status, was shipped out the
    door. I thought that was a one-time thing, but it is becoming clear that that was
    just the beginning.

    To the staff: Though you and I are both under contract, know that EA will not
    pursue you if you simply stand together. You are the most talented people in the
    industry and every publisher would be honored to have you.

>>    y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:41 No.2441074

    To the fans: Please do not be discouraged by what little PR EA allows to get out.
    You haven't spoken to BioWare, the real meat of the company, in over 5 years.
    BioWare is still full of people who love video games, who want to put passion into
    their games--but they are being stifled. Don't be angry with BioWare. Be angry
    with those who are stifling them. But your anger isn't enough. Speak with your
    money. It's the only language EA Games understands. I know it can be very hard to
    resist falling for pre-order and DLC ploys, but it must be done. Your forum posts
    and petitions are meaningless when compared to the simple dollar.

    --

    I'd like to clarify some things about the leak:

    - The leak is the content of a digital blackboard we have at the office. It's the
    first thing you see when you walk into Production. It's right next to our
    storyboards. Only the director and writers can edit the outline, but the entire
    team is asked to make suggestions throughout development. The outline always
    changes dramatically during development. Sometimes, major plot twists are totally
    changed, or characters are removed. Generally, the artists and the director have
    the final say. You may think that it's odd that artists have so much power, but
    throwing away completed models and other assets that have consumed a lot of time
    is frowned upon. If they've worked on something long enough, they are going to
    implement it somehow.

    - Like in most development cycles, the outline is relatively abandoned right now,
    replaced by the storyboards. But I can't exactly take the storyboards off of the
    walls and scan them.

>>    y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:41 No.2441101

    - Terminator is a post-ending DLC. It's been in production for months. Javik was
    originally from Terminator, but they bumped him up because they felt that ME3's
    cast was too small. Terminator is about the party crash landing on a Prothean
    planet on the edge of Sol, and then they have to figure out a way to make contact
    with the rest of the system and get off of the planet.

    - When they do get spaceborne, they return to Earth, which is gripped in a war.
    Certain species are demanding they be allowed to take the most advanced space
    ships out of the system, because Sol cannot support them. There is also mass panic
    because the relay transport system has been destroyed, and Sol's remaining resources
    are going to run out in less than a year.

    - Shepard has been found on Earth, but he is badly injured and in a coma. He was
    burned badly during atmospheric re-entry, and certain synthetic components of his
    brain were shut down. Chakwas is certain that if he ever awakens, it will be in a
    vegetative state.

    - At this point, it is suggested that Shepard's broken synthetic parts could be
    replaced with new ones. The party then splits up, and you go to three different
    planets/areas to find synthetic components that may be able to help him.

    - It is revealed that one of the valid components can be extracted from EDI. Joker
    allows them to do so.

>>    y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:42 No.2441128

    - Though still badly wounded, after the synthetic pieces are installed, Shepard
    finally awakens. He makes a speech at the Spacescraper (a piece of the Citadel
    that crash landed on Earth along with Shepard, now used as a center of
    operations) that ends the Sol War. After that, you get a unique cutscene based
    on who you did or did not romance in ME3.

    - This is not addressed in the Terminator DLC, but from the moment Shepard comes
    out of the coma, he is the Catalyst. Shepard permanently died during atmospheric
    re-entry. The characters and the player in Terminator are unaware that it is not
    the real Shepard, and this will not be revealed until Mass Shift, the spiritual
    successor to the Mass Effect series.

    - Mass Shift is not Mass Effect 4. Mass Shift will involve the same universe,
    characters, and story, but it will be more action-oriented. Space flight, for
    example, will be as intricate as ME3's combat. In Mass Shift, you will actively fly
    Murmur, a Reaper that is controlled by the Catalyst. Storyboards have not been
    drawn up for exactly how this will work yet, but when we came up with the initial
    concept, we were comparing flight to "Gradius III and Kingdom Hearts 2", and the
    relationship between the Catalyst and Murmur was compared to the one between the
    boy and the monster in "The Last Guardian".

    - Xy was actually going to be a DLC character for Mass Effect 2, but he was axed in
    favor of Kasumi, who was modeled after the sister of a staff member who kept baking
    the entire staff cookies. They're introducing him in Mass Shift instead.

y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:43 No.2441150

    - BioWare has been meaning to introduce a main character suicide plot element for some
    time now. They intended to do this with Kaidan/Ashley in Mass Effect 2, wrought with
    guilt over the death of the other, but this idea was discarded when the director felt
    that it would be too forced, and that players would feel as though BioWare simply
    killed them off so that they wouldn't have to deal with their character branches
    anymore.

    - Though the details are very sketchy at this point, Mass Shift revolves around
    the Catalyst (who now inhabits the body of Shepard), who seeks to prevent the
    galaxy from advancing synthetics. This pits the Catalyst against virtually the
    entire galaxy, which is quickly forgetting about the threat that synthetics pose.
    The Catalyst, throughout the game, will endure inner turmoil caused by
    his "other side" (EDI), who carries the belief that synthetics and organics can
    peacefully co-exist.

    - Mass Shift will feature more tactical combat, but with less cover. For example,
    Filbert, while slow on the battlefield, can create a sphere of biotic energy around
    himself that can repel a certain amount of fire. This will allow party members to
    stand around him to receive all kinds of interesting "buffs".

    - Other minor things have changed. For example, storyboards indicate that Asad
    Grim, Mass Shift's primary (but not final--he joins your team) antagonist does not
    wear a typical Volus suit. You will be able to see most of his body.

    - Mass Shift takes place about one millennium after the events of ME3.

    - Note that branching is the last stage of development. BioWare always begins with
    a canonical outline, and then adjusts the outline details to accommodate player
    choice in most scenarios.

y.m. !ad7SQLiiVQ 03/25/12(Sun)04:53 No.2441505

    Witch Hunt is a Dragon Age DLC. It caused an in-house ****storm because of canon
    issues. An employee quit over it. It's used as a reference for how to "correctly"
    deal with design plans that may interfere with player choice. It has nothing to do
    with Mass Effect.

    I don't know what Dragon Age: Return is, but Dragon Age 3 is codename "Redfish" right
    now. It's in development.

    This is the last you will hear from me. Bye.


This is THE LAMEST endings continuation I've ever seen on these forums. What is this? A ripoff from Deus Ex: Invisible War or somthing? If it's yet another bs from 4chan then someone there seriously need to get a life. If not, then BioWare have really lost their marbles and this will be a point of no return for many fans of the series, because it ****s on everything that was Mass Effect.

Please oh please let this be a fake.

First Shepard is presented with 3 choices that completely disrespect the character and it's accomplishments up to that point and now Shepard's possibly the new bad guy ? :(

Proposal for Canon:

Conflict 1) Shepard destroys synthetic life, and in turn, a great deal of
his own physiology. The party must search the remnants of the Sol System to
unearth technology that may be able to restore Shepard's memory and functioning.

Conflict 2) The Grand Sol War begins. The current inhabitants of the Sol
System--which include the former occupants of the Citadel, the participants of
the Battle for Earth, and the Crucible's escorts--war over dwindling resources
in the Sol System. Certain species, unable to survive in Sol, make a desperate
beeline for distant systems.

Conflict 3) Though resurrected, the character Shepard has ceased to be. The
Catalyst has transmigrated into him via his synthetic components, and he has become
"Advent".

Consideration: Player to be aware of Conflict 3 until Mass Shift, or cliffhanger
for Terminator?

Consideration: Possible backlash?

Consideration: Dx does not want to drag out the character Shepard.

Approved: Player will be unaware of existence of Advent until Mass Shift. Make
foreshadowing available.

Approved: Protagonist of Mass Shift is the next transmigration of the Catalyst.

Conflict 4) Advent seeks to halt advancement of synthetics across the galaxy.
The character experiences a "dissociative identity disorder" related to
integration with Shepard's and EDI's synthetics

Consideration: New galaxy, multiple galaxies. Dx NOTE: Too far ahead

Proposal for "Terminator" (DATE OF RELEASE: April 24):

CC1 - CC3 (Dx approve 3-17-2012)

Canonical statement: Refer to "Arrival", "Witch Hunt", "Dragon Age: Return"

Branch End Graph (Ping storyboards)

See ME3 branch templates for global event assumptions

Liara - Reconstruction of Thessia. Introduction of Prothean truths. Formal burial
of mother at family gravesite.
BRANCH - Marriage 

 James - N7 induction ceremony. Consideration: Couple with formal Kaidan/Ashley
Spectre induction.
BRANCH - Ask Dx about this

Garrus - Takes Hackett's place at helm of GSW. Foreshadowing of human turian
integration.
BRANCH - Marriage

Tali - Seeks reestablishment of the mass effect.
BRANCH - Marriage

Kaidan/Ashley - Consideration: Introduction of eventual suicide plot
device? DX Note: No, not in DLC, save for Shift
BRANCH - Ask Dx

EDI - Absent, integrated into Advent

Joker - Resigns from comic relief in aftermath of EDI.

Javik - Thought to have entombed himself. Killed by Advent during confrontation.

Proposal for "Mass Shift" (DATE OF RELEASE: 2014):

CC4+

Xy - Hanar exiled for his "problematic" confidence and impoliteness. (Approved)

Filbert - Biotic elcor too small/weak to live amongst his own kind. (Approved)

Liara - Matriarch (Approved)

Bresha - Female krogan, distant granddaughter of Wrex.

Advent - Protagonist (Approved)

Asad Grim - Shadow Broker and Director of Council Space. Volus villain-to-ally.
(Storyboard available)

Murmur - The last Reaper, removed from the hivemind. (Approved)

NDA 67 68 69 70 71

Whether true or not, I'm open to those ideas, depending on how they are fleshed out and executed. And whether BW is able to achieve it or not: Originality will have be the keyword for DLCs if they chose to move completely away from the original idea - Dark Energy - to something else. Originality of and familiarity to the ME universe (esp. characters) is what IMO will keep fans engaged and invite new gamers at the same time. It looks to me we are looking at 3 different games, branching out of ME trilogy. That will be quite challenging to do production-wise. We'll see.

And if indeed true, how can this get leaked? Is there a spy working there or something?
Or, it's an intentional 'therefore fake' leak as BW wants to see how people will react to these ideas??

I'd be okay if Shepard becomes 'a bad guy' in ONE of the story branches. Wouldn't it be like a Renegade path?? The bad guy option was always there in the series.

Oh, and as a side note - the creators should never cater to their fanbase, and should always be a step ahead of the expectations. Music, movies, games - it's all similar. The moment you do some major work to "please the fans", you're done. So, although the original endings are terrible, I would still prefer Bioware to make some sense out of them instead of scrubbing them completely.

I agree.

That's why I kept telling fans who wanted a Star-Wars ending that it's better to not reuse old/popular ending formulaes. However,  try-hard endings aren't good either.

On the other hand,
Fans can have great ideas and help shape the evolution of the series. Best example is fans asking for Liara to have a bigger role than in ME2. So BioWare ended up making The Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC which is IMO one of the best segments in the series. Writing for it and execution were at their best. A win-win!

Hoping this isn't true, unlikely it is, but always still have that small awful feeling that it is.

The issue I have with this is that it talks about Liara in the Matrich stage of her life. It also talks about Vega, Kaiden/Ashley, and Joker. There is no way all these people are alive when Liara hits the Matriarch stage.

Oh, and as a side note - the creators should never cater to their fanbase, and should always be a step ahead of the expectations. Music, movies, games - it's all similar. The moment you do some major work to "please the fans", you're done. So, although the original endings are terrible, I would still prefer Bioware to make some sense out of them instead of scrubbing them completely.



I disagree to an extent. They should be doing this FOR thier fanbase.

For example ... if the game had a bad ending BUT, that bad ending was somewhat explained, and fit with the lore of the universe the outrage would have never happened.
Sure, some would say .. WOW that sucked.   But that would be the extent of it.

I think the major issue, is that the way things are now it breaks previous games (ME1).
We have plot holes, and a few things that just do not fit or make sense.

The Catalyst, and the idea of the Crcucible are great examples.

Promising fans things that were not true only further angers them.


The entire idea of a series like this is to cater to your fans. Build your own story, your decisions matter, etc. as it was marketed.
ME3 goes against that principle entirely.

Doing things they way they choose is fine to a point, but I do think they should try to stay along the lines of what thier fans expect/want.  Because without the fans, they have no buisiness.

Liara matriarch = CC4+

The others =  CC1-3

NO.

The first bunch of info would describe bridging DLC, etc.

The last part involves another game. (many years after)

I assume.
