Wonder what it'd be like to be a fly on the wall in a Mass Effect review session? You don't have to anymore, thanks to Fabrice:

"If you go far enough, do you find a texture?" @MrJoelMac during ou daily Mass Effect review. We never found the texture for the record.
It's as if you were there in the room.
Looking at what's been going on with other studios and their games, I don't think the Mass Effect team has anything special in store.
They would have said something, there's no sense in keeping that quiet. I think if they had anything they would want to draw some attention at least before they show it.
Well they have been taking a page or two from Beyonce's marketing strategy with DA stuff lately...

Releasing with little or no prior advertising. Beyonce just suddenly announced her new album was available.

Thanks. I was very confused just then.
I wouldn't bet on it though.
Maybe BioWare and ME3 will be the .... Wait for it, wait.... catalyst for change.
why wait for E3 when they can just atomic bomb everything out today! 
I hate waiting. Waiting... waiting never changes
Mass Effect doesn't need to be hyped up. Any shred of news that's come out has spawned multi page threads on multiple forums.

Since Mirror's Edge new game is being called Catalyst, What if ..... BioWare names the next mass effect Mass Effect: Catalyst?
That would be a horrible idea for Bioware to do.
MAKO NEWS:
BIOWARE CONFIRMED THE RETURN OF THE MAKO IM BOYCOTTING MASS EFFECT
@user the new Mako plays VERY differently than the original.
@The1Wynn can i still do flips
@user it is possible at the moment (though not easy), but may not be possible in the end. Lots to do and test.
In case anyone was wondering:

If the next Mass Effect is an Xbox exclusive I'm going to cry many tears.
Chris Wynn @The1Wynn
@user no crying necessary, it is not an exclusive.

There may or may not be a bit of an ongoing internal meme about this which I may or may not have inadvertently started.
Next question is - is it a timed exclusive then? Because after the stunt with Jaws of Hakkon many tears will be cried if it is

The game itself almost certainly won't be a timed exclusive. PS4 sales are so much higher than Xbox One that Microsoft would have to pay a fortune to get timed exclusivity on the actual launch, and there's no way EA would alienate so many Playstation players. I can't see it happening in a million years after the backlash to Rise of the Tomb Raider and the clumsy, awkward and ridiculous way both the studio and Microsoft handled that announcement.
DLC is up in the air; Microsoft have been inking a lot of timed exclusivity (or "first on Xbox One") deals lately so I wouldn't rule it out. I hope not, but like you pointed out with Jaws of Hakkon, somebody at EA is clearly willing to do this sort of stuff.

Sony is much worse when it comes to exclusive content. They are money-hatting every big third-party game they can this year because of their weak first-party lineup.
Can't speak for other PS4 users but as someone who loved DA:I, the extra wait for Jaws of Hakkon put me off the DLC. Lost interest completely. Hopefully it's not something BW will continue with in ME4.

I do not know; I would not put it past them. Rise of the Tomb Raider worries me because it could set a dangerous precedent for established, big name, hugely popular AAA titles going the exclusive route, or even the low, heinous timed exclusive route. I will freely admit that I am exceptionally bitter about the Rise of the Tomb Raider, this franchise being one I have followed avidly since Tomb Raider II (few people can understand how hard it is to be a hardcore fan of something if that something also includes "The Angel of Darkness"). Jaws of Hakkon did this as well and this practice BITES. I would hate to see yer another series I love go down that same route.
Although I suppose you are quite right in thinking EA would rather set a retirement home on fire before they would make Mass Effect an exclusive again. Unless they start hating money. In which case, this might mark the first time that blood sucking greed was actually considered a positive quality.

SE didn't want to compete with Uncharted 4 on PS4 during holiday season. So they accepted Microsoft's truckload of money and reduced their financial risk. Easy decision.
