A few months after it came out, we ran a chart in the magazine that showed the layout of how to get the different endings and how things happened. Is that same type of complexity built into the ending of Mass Effect 3?

Hudson: Yeah, and I’d say much more so.

OH IT HURTS. IT HURTS SO MUCH.

[BadlyBrowned]

It hurts so much, all I can do is laugh now.

"It’s more like there are some really obvious things that are different and then lots and lots of smaller things, lots of things about who lives and who dies, civilizations that rose and fell, all the way down to individual characters. That becomes the state of where you left your galaxy. The endings have a lot more sophistication and variety in them. It would be interesting to see if somebody could put together a chart for that. Even with Mass Effect 2’s..."

these interviews. can i sue for pain and suffering. and mental anguish.

Ugh, it's like he is a real life Nigel West Dickens. Snake Oil salesman extraordinaire.

So, Casey Hudson is the new Peter Molyneux?

THIS HURTS ME

Errr, there is a magic off button, that ridculous crucible thing. 

I'm pretty sure fetch questing was most of what I did. 

Too bad we can't live in that galaxy we just saved!! 

God, all this BS makes me sick, it's almost like Casey Hudson switched places with Peter Molyneux ...

LOL, someone twitter this on the Mass Effect Page and Bioware Page then post it on there facebook page, then send this to every Bioware moderator

[Szuli]

What an amazing end  it would have been if they had kept these promises! That's the kind of game I wanted to play...

[Eyelidsz]

Live on the Citadel? The place you deaded in the final release? Sure. I'll live there.

[Lancelot Albion]

What a kick in the quad.

An episode of “Hoarders” recently sent me into a neurotic frenzy of cleaning. While sorting through a pile of crap I found a copy of “Game Informer” I bought for its cover story on Mass Effect 3, dated from around this time last year. Because I’m a masochist I decided to re-read the article to see what was being said about a year ago. I’ve cherry-picked a few passages I thought were funny in hindsight.

This is a text block entitled MASS EFFECT MEETS MULTIPLAYER?
 
“When the teaser for Mass Effect 3 first released, rumours were swirling that the project was actually a multiplayer title set in the Mass Effect universe. Those rumours turned out to be false, but it got many gamers thinking about how a multiplayer component would fit into the Mass Effect trilogy. Rest assured, the team has thought about this, too. “As a single-player experience, and just as a world that people want to immerse themselves in and share, we’ve been trying to think of a way that makes sense for people to experience Mass Effect with their friends,” says executive producer Casey Hudson. “We haven’t yet come up with a way to do that, so we don’t have anything to announce at this time. But, obviously, multiplayer is something we want to do more of in the future as a company.”

It sounds like a great game. When does it come out?

The beta was released March 6. Not sure when the rest comes out. I don't think we'll be seeing it.

Owww. I facepalmed to hard

[NightHawkIL]

Well, now that my loathing has been refreshed anew...

I remember that article. Thank you Casey for publicly listing everything we wanted in ME3, then under the cover of darkness doing exactly the opposite of each stated feature.

These sort of things were said all the way up until the release, and even afterward for a week or so to give positive PR. So everyone knew these were the things that the fans wanted, yet even with that in their mind through the entire design process they just decided, screw it, we're doing our own thing. Trying to figure out what chain of thoughts could have possibly led someone to believe this was a good idea baffles me.

Check out the thread for the Xbox World Magazine article that came out in late May (July 2011 edition): social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/103/index/7352856

This part here (Casey Hudson quote):

REWARD FOR LOYAL FANS?
"Absolutely," he says. "Definitely. The challenge is to make the game better than ever before, to make it a great entry point for new players, and to make it the ending fans deserve. It's about making sure it starts the way a great story should start versus just being a continuation. And thats tough because there is no canon except for what the player has chosen. In the end, its their game".

Did Game Informer ever call out Casey on these blatant lies or no?

[Stygian1]

How?... how could they do such a 180 from everything they said.

"Yeah that seemed like a dumb idea then... but now, now everyone will love it! Let's just do everything we told the public we wouldn't do, and not do anything we said we would do! The Twiiissstzzzz!" *Commence Derp Face*
