Too bad until there my college classes will have started again.

As if that´s a good enough reason for us NOT to play the DLC

Well, maybe he or she has got a lot of courses to attend to. In any case I won't be able to play due to vacation/move cutting into my time.

 I don't care if PS3 players get to play ME1.
 I'm just saying Bioware make worse games and don't seem as happy with themselves as they did before EA when they were working with Microsoft.  

And this has nothing to do with the release of ME1 on PS3 so what exactly is your point?

I think what they're getting at is even though PS3 players are happy, is the additional cost and time of porting the game out to other consoles per EA's wishes really worth an overall decline in the quality of the franchise?

If there is one advantage to console exclusivity, it's that you don't have to spend time and money porting it out to other consoles and advertising for those ports, so you can concentrate on making the game really good for that one platform.

And not porting means lesser sales and smaller revenue = smaller budget for another game. So yeah, I hope EA ports it on everything under the sun, including Game Boy.

There is no advantage to console exclusivity unless the company creating the game also owns the console, otherwise this is just fanboyish talk.<_<
Like The Last of Us from Sony or Halo from Microsoft. In these cases it's in the company's best interest to keep the game exclusive.

Exactly.

More to the point, it's not like the same people who are porting the games are the ones designing new content. Right now it seems to be simultaneous - some Montreal developers worked on the trilogy pack while other Montreal teams were designing and making Omega. The point of diverse studios is that there are enough project teams to run things like this at the same time - plus, porting introduces new fans to the series and leads to more potential sales for future titles. 

People assume Bioware has one big pool of zots, and they can all just be poured into a computer to make a game come out. The reality is much more nuanced. EA tasked people Bioware Montreal to port the games to PS3 as part of the Trilogy Pack, and contracted an Australian studio to port ME3 to the WiiU - that doesn't necessarily mean that money would've gone on more ME3 content if they hadn't decided to port.

Not being overly familiar with the lingo, it does appear to me that it could be close to finished?

[ElitePinecone]

^ We aren't even really sure if what they're working on is Mass Effect-related. They mentioned prototyping before.

[Grubas]

Mike Gamble is responsible for all future DLCs? I thought Multiplayer only.
Wasn't Patrick Weekes not put in charge for Singleplayer?

Patrick Weekes is a writer, not a producer. Producers, and not writers, oversee a DLC project.

Yes and Casey was genuinely an Artist prior to ME. I dont discriminate.

But seriously, weren't both teams supposed to be separated?
To deliver a steady DLC flow.
As i understand Gamble is now overseeing them both.

If you know who is working on what team, you can easily distinguish how related their tweets are. (DA3, MESingle, MEMulti..)

[Don_Esteban]

Afaik at release the MP-Team was much bigger cause the wanted support MP faster with new content, by now they moved the majority from MP to SP, Casey Hudson was overviewing all the DLC iirc, by now he is more in charge of SP.
i dont think well see more than 2 MP-DLC within the next 6 month. After that, prob no more DLC at all.
Read somewhere, that most of the writings for SP-DLC is already done, and by now they need art, design and scriptings, so moving devs from MP to SP shouldnt be too difficult.

No. The multiplayer component was primarily handled by Montreal, but that ended when the game was released. From everything that's been said, it appears that the multiplayer DLC so far has mostly been done in Edmonton (as has the extended cut and Leviathan). Omega is being done by the Montreal team, and the folk in Edmonton are working on something else for ME3.

Mike Gamble is the lord producer for all post-release content. He always has been.

Patrick Weekes is just a writer. I'm not aware that he's "in charge" of anything (apparently Leviathan was mostly written by Cathleen and Jay).
