Has there been any new leaks besides the leaked survey and the info released at E3?

 

What we know so far (please correct me if I'm wrong):

 

-ME:A will take place long after the original trilogy. No original characters will be in ME:A

-Will take place in Helius Cluster of Andromeda.

-Ship name is the Tempest.

-Drack the krogan will be a squadmate.

-Cora will be a squadmate with biotic abilities, though I am unsure if she is human or asari.

-You will be fighting a new race called the Khet (an assumption, it says you will battle Khet outposts).

-You will be trying to find artifacts from the Remnant, an ancient race that lived in Andromeda long ago. 

-You will be trying to establish colonies in Andromeda and defending them in case of attack.

-SP and MP battles

-Mako can be upgraded and have a custom paint job.

I think the only thing we 'know' out of all of that is that the story takes place in Andromeda and the game will have multiplayer.

1. Nope 2. Yep 3. Remind me again why there are over 1000 threads in this section already.

What we know so far is next to squat!

 

-ME:A will take place long after the original trilogy. No original characters will be in ME:A

This is pretty much confirmed via tidbits given out by BW via Twitter and other media.

 

-Will take place in Helius Cluster of Andromeda.

This was in the leak but the leak was never confirmed so we don't know.

 

-Ship name is the Tempest.

Because people don't read

And for the leak of Mass Effect Andromeda, if the inquisition was right maybe this one too

I disagree, I think it's because people don't read.

[Killroy]

Why are people still acting like the leak isn't confirmed?

[Hanako Ikezawa]

-ME:A will take place long after the original trilogy. No original characters will be in ME:A

Actually, Bioware only confirmed that no major characters from the Shepard Trilogy will be in ME:A. They said that minor characters from the Shepard Trilogy showing up in ME:A is still a possibility. 

[ADelusiveMan]

I actually haven't been keeping up with the news on this game all that well...have they said whether or not we will be playing as a human or will there be race options like in DA? I know the trailer shows only the human male per the usual, but I'm still curious

As of right now it is human only. But DAI originally was human-only, so it's possible they will add it. 

Also, the person in the trailer isn't the protagonist.

Someone already made an inventory of "what we know"

Why are people still acting like the leak isn't confirmed?

Because Bioware hasn't confirmed all of the details in there yet.

[NM_Che56]

What you did there? I see it.

[NM_Che56]

"You will be trying to establish colonies in Andromeda and defending them in case of attack".

 

Please do Mother Base stuff like in MGS V! PLZ

[Killroy]

BioWare said that the Inquisition leak was fake, so their confirmations mean nothing. We know the leak is legit because we have functioning brains.

You asked, "Why are people still acting like the leak isn't confirmed?".

So, logically (i.e. by definition), if BioWare or EA hasn't said, "yup, that's all true", then it's not confirmed.

Also, just because one leak was confirmed doesn't mean another one is 100% legitimate or the details are accurate.  That's an assumption.  You're trusting that some random person has accurate and UP TO DATE information.  That, again, is not "confirmation".

Hearing BioWare or EA say it's legit is not the only way it could be confirmed. The fact that many of it's details have been confirmed is confirmation that it's legit. Besides, companies don't gather market research on materials they're never going to market.

EDIT--And is the Inquisition leak still unconfirmed? BioWare said it was fake, so it must have been fake, right?

It's confirmation that PORTIONS of the leak are legit.  It does not mean that the rest of the information contained in the leak will be in the final game; therefore, the leak isn't confirmed.

 

They gather information, but the results are an input into what stays and what goes.  We got a leaked survey.  That doesn't mean all of the info in the survey is guaranteed to be used; otherwise, why bother with a survey?

It was a marketing survey, not a development survey. They use marketing surveys to determine what aspects of the game to market, not what aspects of the game to keep or ditch. Whatever is in a marketing survey is already locked down because they're already trying to decide if it's worth marketing to sell the game. Everything in the Inquisition survey was in the game because that's how marketing surveys work.

Fair enough.  Still not everything in the leak is "confirmed".  So far, it has shown itself to be reliable.  It's unlikely someone would have accurately guess the setting (almost verbatim).  

 

But consider this:

 

Chris Schlerf was announced as the lead writer in November of last year.  If you go to that BioWare blog entry now, you'll see his name and image are GONE.  POOF! Like he never was announced.  Why?  Why would they go back to an old blog entry and do that?

 

June 2015: http://web.archive.o...xt-mass-effect/

 

now: http://blog.bioware....xt-mass-effect/

 

I can think of two examples where a lead writer left a project and the game was seriously revised:

 

1) Amy Henning left Naughty Dog.  Neil Druckman and Bruce Straley took over, scrapped 8 months of work and started over.

http://www.polygon.c...uckmann-straley

 

"We had shot eight months of her story, and it was all thrown away".  - Nolan North ("Nathan Drake").

 

2) When Joe Staten left Bungie, the entire story for Destiny was significantly changed.

http://za.ign.com/de...y-changed-subst

 

"Although Destiny was planned for release in September 2013, the story was substantially revised beginning August 2013" - Court documents. Incidentally, August 2013 is when Joe Staten left Bungie.  

 

So, as far as I'm concerned, until details are made public then everything is subject to change, especially when I see signs of trouble.

[Killroy]

Your 2 examples are the extreme. Destiny shouldn't used to represent any sort of normal development procedures. Writers leave and join projects all the time without months or years of work being thrown away. Considering ME:A has been in development since late 2012 I would say it's exceptionally unlikely that the story has been scrapped. 

[ADelusiveMan]

As of right now it is human only. But DAI originally was human-only, so it's possible they will add it. 

Also, the person in the trailer isn't the protagonist. 

Oh....well that's interesting.  I need to start paying attention to this stuff more

[Hanako Ikezawa]

Glad I could let you know. 

Yeah, we don't know who the person in the trailer is, but Bioware confirmed in the blog they released that he isn't the protagonist and we'll find out more of who he is later.

Oh so Motion Capture is confirmed? About time!
