Interesting, seems as if Bioware might be confident in making 2016 after all. When do you think we'll see some gameplay footage? I hope soon, i'm already in full blown hype mode purely because it's more Mass Effect but I really want to see more footage before it fully sells itself to me.

 

Your thoughts?

You needn't look further than this forum.

As usual, the clickbait of these websites knows no bounds.

It is my greatest wish that BioWare themselves would announce the release of the first gameplay footage of their now-playable game, and show an animation of a 16-bit version on a 2D map.

It will be done when it is done and hopefully not sooner.

Shouldn't jump to too big a conclusion. If this about those tweets from Jos the game has clearly come a fair way.

The later tweets show he's worked on a (he redacted a lot of it) few different things and that he's having a crack at a certain section of the game (afternoon timeslot?)

It could mean literally anything. He might have spent the whole time using the mako and only got out of it twice.

Playable state is a seriously broad term.

I would honestly applaud that. :lol:

Journalism hasn't been a respectable profession in many years. I was accepted to one of my country's most esteemed journalism schools, you know the kind that teaches the students to be factual, unbiased, ethical, how to do proper and thorough research and above all else to have a sense of public service of informing people about important things that concern them. Had high hopes about doing meaningful work once I was done, but unfortunately the entire business is nothing more than an endless dog fight for attention with clickbait headlines being the primary weapon of choice.

 

Freelancers can still do meaningful work since they for most part get to choose what they write about and to whom they sell their work, but that's not really a sustainable business model in the long run since papers want less and less substance in favor of stuff they can just quickly spit out to generate ad revenue.

 

And like so many other businesses lately, they are massively downsizing staffs, meaning fewer journalists are saddled with more work. Naturally quality suffers, leading to this epidemic of meaningless, poorly written garbage they have the audacity to call news.

 

Sorry for the rant, it's just having journalistic training and knowing what the job is really supposed to be about, seeing this level of professional incompetence proliferate just grinds my gears.

There's no such thing. Nice journalists finish last and will always be trampled by the ruthless ones who will screw over anyone to get a good story. That's all they care about, getting a good story, disregarding who will get hurt in the process.

We'll definitely see gameplay footage by E3, although I'm expecting (and hoping) that maybe Game Informer will do a cover for Andromeda during maybe the first quarter of 2016. It would be a good way to start revealing more information about the game before the bigger reveals.

My point was that modern journalists don't really care about putting out good stories anymore. They'll put out anything that can generate ad revenue, no matter how moronic or demeaning to the journalist's credibility. That's why Trump is getting so much attention, he is a fool's gold mine.

My thoughts? Someone working on the game is excited about the game they are making and tweeted about it. Someone decided to write an article about it, because we are desperate for any REAL Mass Effect news or information and they knew they could get clicks from thirsty fans.

 

Real news would be answering something like...

 

Is this game going to be like DA:I or like the Mass Effects we loved?

...Well I guess it MIGHT come out in 2016 then.

 

Not holding my breath though.

Going all out with the Star Wars spoilers, I see.

Nothing that is in the first film anyways. So can't really spoil what has not even been written yet probably (outside an outline). More like a Lyanna plus Rhaegar = Jon, except I do not even have the Tower of Joy.

I dunno, I'd say there's a fair amount of evidence for Luke and Phasma's offscreen tryst.

Games are almost always in a "playable state". The joke alpha that is Big Rig Racing or whatever is arguably in a "playable" state, it's just an unfinished mess.

The most basic concept for a game - the vertical slices they use to market or concept it - are usually always playable. Look at the very very old DAO marketing. You'll see Ostagar and the Temple of Sacred Ashes in the NWN1 engine.

I wouldn't be surprised if no gameplay footage isn't shown until E3

Don't know about onscreen, other than them purposely undermining the character so people didn't expect it? Even Plinkett/Red Letter Media (who is a very smart guy) wrote off Phasma as a joke in his review (he liked the film though, just like I did), so if that was their intention, they did it well.

 

Offscreen reasons? Yeah. Disney makes a lot of money selling toys. Disney makes a lot of money selling toys to girls. Disney can DOUBLE their profits doing the same thing Lucasfilm did in the first trilogy and by getting lots of girls to like Star Wars to.

 

The original trilogy resonated with boys and men due to the father (henchman not the main villain) and son dynamic. Disney can do the same thing with girls and a mother and daughter. It is a basic thing that every girl can relate to, just like every boy could relate to. Whether you had an awesome father, where you are glad he is not like Vader, or a bad father or wish you had a father around. Same dynamic can work with girls.

 

Will it work? My mom (who is really old) loved the film. My sister always liked the films (except the prequels) but liked this one more. I am sure if you walk into a Disney Store they are marketing the heck out of Rey to girls. 

 

Gender also does not matter with the force and neither does size, so they will not lose the boys. Brilliant by Lawrence Kasdan, but he was always brilliant and he is who wrote Empire and Return of the Jedi and Raiders of the Lost Ark to start with, not Lucas.

When has Mass Effect ever been like Dragon Age?
