Yeah no, I can and do forgive a lot of things, but Mac Walters is still on my black list and he won't just get my trust back with a shiny tweet

I think they hired a Lead Writer for the next Mass Effect. The job opening (Montreal: Lead Writer) disappeared from their website.

I'm going to keep reserved until concrete information starts to be released. Part of me thinks it's the usual rebuilding hype, while the other can't help but get a little excited.

Maybe it's just Mac again.

Mac is now Narrative Director (whatever that is?) at Edmonton, I assume they need a Lead Writer for the Montreal studio to handle the bulk of the admin. I mean, it might be a bit hard to coordinate the writing team from a different part of Canada

There was a tweet earlier this year saying Mac was writing for the next Mass Effect, but I'm guessing it's probably just as a normal writer, since he's written companions for all three games. Not sure if he's also working on Casey Hudson's new IP, which I think a lot of the ME3 team have moved on to.

(From what Bioware was saying last year it sounded like Montreal would almost be single-handedly making all of the next Mass Effect, but now it seems a fair few Edmonton staff are still working on it - Mike Gamble is there too.)

Indeed.  THis is the exact same kind of hype that preceeded ME3, and we all know how that turned out.

I really don't want to get too excited but the teasing just sounds so good. I'm actually pretty optimistic about NME now.
Dont let me down Bioware;)

^ Fool me once shame on you fool me twice...

Still I can't help myself from being a little excited.

Yes. Just as it turned out that you now speak for everyone.

Is Montreal the same team that did multiplayer and Omega DLC?

Indeed

Please show me where I stated or even implied that I spoke for anyone but myself.

But ME3 followed on the heels of ME2. ME-X is a complete unknown. We don't know where Bioware is going to go with it! Will it be a sequel? A midquel? A subquel? A retcon? An alternate dimension?

Based on what I've seen so far (ie: The team being assembled at Montreal)... I am... intrigued.

Edit: Since I just now read this

Mac Walters@macwalterslives: After an intense week of narrative meetings for #masseffect ... The future looks brighter than ever. #NewBeginnings

Oh no. Nononononono.

No words, this time. Fool me once, sir. I find myself slightly optimistic based on what I've heard so far, but I'll need something more convincing than a tweet.

I think Montreal also did a lot of the ME2 N7 missions, and apparently about half of the cinematics. Maybe some of the DLC too?

[Nitrocuban]

I'm sure Montreal learned from Omega DLC, no worries.

Don't include me on this blanketed statement.  I was super-hyped for ME3 before release, and FOR ME, I was satisfied and happy with it.

I am being much more reserved for the Next Mass Effect, only because I have no idea what direction (prequel/sequel/side-quel/alternative-dimensional-quel) it is going.

So, what exactly is a "Sprint Review"?

Wait, you don't agree there was a massive backlash over what ME3 delivered? 

If you were happy, okay, but don't tell me it didn't kick up a hornet's nest, even if you weren't one of the hornets.

And I'm just saying these tweets are sounding remarkably similar to how that cycle started.

It's part of a software development methodology called "Scrum". A sprint is a defined span of time (2 weeks to 2 months, the length is usually defined at the start of the project and stays the same throughout the entire project). Basically, you list all the feature you wanna have in a software product, prioritize them and pick as many as you can complete in one sprint. After one sprint is over, you again pick as many features you will be able to complete im the next sprint, and so on.

Before the next sprint starts, there's a sprint review meeting to look at the results. What's perhaps important is that in Scrum, whatever you produce during a sprint, it has to run in a prototype. No theoretical, non-functioning results. This means, there has to be a running prototype of NMEB)

So they already have a really early version of the game running?...Nice! Things are really moving fast.

[Degrees1991]

If that's true then yes incredibly fast maybe a late 2014 release?

[ElitePinecone]

Late 2014 will already be occupied by Dragon Age: Inquisition.

I'd suspect more likely 2015.

[Degrees1991]

Alright I forgot about Dragon Age
