Ok so my boyfriend's friend just got hired by Bioware! :D

No one's breaking NDA here (duh), but slight hints and simple deduction seem to indicate he's working on Mass Effect.

Cool! I wish him the best of luck.

I hope its not just for Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer, and more for SP and ME4 :P

EDIT: He's a character artist. That's all I know, unless my boyfriend tells me more this weekend, or we go up to Monteal for a visit him.

Good to know they're still hiring, at least.

Neat. It is good to see Bioware hiring still. I'd hate to see them suffer employment losses like the Austin Bioware has.


Yeah I still have hope yet.

And I've seen some of his work, he's great at modelling!

I belive Montreal is the MP studio, as the SP studio is Bioware Edmonton, the original.

Yeah, I heard the same. That producer who claims no moar Shepard in ME4 works there.

Why would they be hiring more graphical staff for Multiplayer? Considering how much they churn out for map packs anyway, and there's not going to be any extra enemies added for a while (unless they think of something new that's not in single player at all)...

Would make more sense that they are 'outsourcing' some level design to the second studio to help ease the work burdon. ME3 was a huge weight for one studio to bear!

The proportions on that 4 are ****ing terrible.


Are the next gen consoles due to be out by then? The first few games in a new console's life are always a bit ropey as they learn their way around the hardware.

Yes. XBox 720 is rumored to be out due next Holiday Season.

Hmm, still quite early in the new console's life though. The hardware will still be expensive and, if previous generations are anything to go by, enormous in size and prone to overheating. At least until they do a die shrink or whatever they call it when they make the chips more efficient.

I'm going to be very doubtful about any rumours about ME4 for a while. Its all hearsay right now.

Hoping they are making good with the comments about it being 'different', though. That implies...many things.

I don't understand why we're speculating about this at all. It's fake, fan-made, and a sad one at that.

So five days away because I lost internet connection (long story)... Probably didn't miss much bar a very odd Multiplayer weekend. Guess I'm doing Cerberus on solo Bronze to get my 50 melee kills.

That's what I did :lol:

Yup, you can view your progress on events now and you get your reward as soon as you complete it.

This is exactly the same bull**** that has left a black mark on IT...
Your incessant petulant demands for base gratification have completely and utterly ruined the correct interpretation of an utterly brilliant ending...

Same ****ing **** pulled by Clevernoob and Acayvos...


I'm one of the few here that agrees with you, Bill.

Even though I 100% believe that Bioware intended IT, I also believe them when they say they don't want to be prescriptive. The art in the ending is exactly that. Let people figure it out. The problem with most people is that they need to have it all spelled out for them, yet this is often not the case in literature or cinema. People just don't expect it from a game. That may sound condescending, but I really don't mean it that way.

They threw us a huge freaking bone with Leviathan and I personally think that is as much confirmation as we'll ever get.

Yet, I admit I have doubts this is really the end.

When I see the stargazer scene and the boy goes:  "Did that all really happen?", and the old man goes "Well, sure.", it doesn't seem like a very definitive answer. And when the kid asks for one more story about The Shepard, and the old man goes:  "Well, okay... it's getting late, but... one more story..." I can't help but wonder.

I just can't think of any way to to make a prequel work for all the reasons we've all mentioned a hundred times over. And if it's a sequel, which ending will be canon? Only IT makes sense.

Yet I feel way too tinfoil for even thinking that.

I don't believe in the 'reveal', and even if we never get any more than what we have now, the ending is still the most brilliant thing ever.

The things those two say at the end...They give me hope for the future of ME. That scene has to have a meaning other than what it at first appears to be.

Yep. I also know some of the devs there.

Dimensions is their new housing. It's.... it has so much promise. I love it.

I love this expansion overall actually.

If 4 -4 - 14 is the real date. Then it's probably gonna be just as crap as ME3. RPG's need more than two years.

Not if they're going to continue the Reaper war and just reuse assets ;)

I actually switched to Geth, as Cerberus kind of wrecked me at 30ish kills.  I nearly extracted too, but being cornered by a Geth Prime, a Pyro and a Hunter even on Bronze isn't that much fun when you're out of cobras.

I don't think there will be a 'reveal' in ME3 DLC.  I suspect there may be one in ME4 though, if only in that the three choices given never actually happen and the Reapers are still active.

I don't need to be told I'm right.  But I want it to be clear via investigation what actually happened - aka IT in its current form, only expanded into future games.

I want a cloud over Shepard's head, even if Shep doesn't return - I want people to doubt his motives and intent, and to wonder what truely happened on Earth.

I do not want more Space Magic, or a cheap payoff.

I didn't extract against Cerberus. A got sync killed by a Phantom that snuck up behind me on round 8. :(
I did get the medal though.

I find myself agreeing with you on that. A reveal may be too much. Without actually telling us what happened to Shep, they could instead elaborate on the concept we have discovered on this thread - IT in general. Giving us more hints as they go along, even into ME4 would be much appreciated.
