I Seriously doubt that Bioware will do the same very same mistake that cell shade prince of Persia and the res5 game did with force co op or multi player. I'm sure they will have as separate options and you choose who you want to play with. kinda like how it's supposed to be done or what we are gonna see with that Xmen arcade game. damn I wish those two forced games weren't done in that way. it makes too many people to be freaking out over some thing that shouldn't be freaked out over that much more of a problem . ughhhhhhh.

Zenith, did you ever play Prince of Persia? It wasn't co op.
 
actu lly I did . and meh it forced you with that AI partner which was close enough with what happened with res5 which sorta of fallowed it as it would ether force you to play with an AI partner or some one to take control of that AI partner in res 5 but the feeling was still the same it was a bad idea. cause it should have been optional . they were trying hard to be to original with changing multiplayer and co op to look differen't form other games with those two. forcing stuff is never good thing.

I don't see bio ware making that mistake though.
 
God forbid anyone ever tries to be original.

Seriously, people are so harsh on games like that, but i'd always rather game developers to try something new or different and fail than not try anything risky at all. You guys wanna play the same games over and over forever, be my guest. I think for the industry to move forward, people need to keep coming up with fresh ideas, and it's up to the leading devs in the industry, Bioware, Rocksteady, Rockstar, Ubisoft etc to try and lead that charge, otherwise 5 years from now we'll all just be playing Call of Duty 17.
 
I'm ok with them taking risks man and like it when they do so. how ever if it causes people to for get that there was a better type of multi player or co op before that that didn't force you into a corner or something and cause more trouble then it should have it isn't the best of thing to happen. You always allow options, not force some thing down peoples throats. others wise we'll keep seeing a never ending b*tch fest on things that shouldn't have been a problem otherwise if that didn't happen. Multiplayer was fine til those games came around with that idea and it even had you even complainning about it at one point which confuse the hell out of me. it was as if there was no other version of co op or multi player due that freaking mistake of an approach.
 
lol uummm... I hope I'm not alone in this, but if Bioware keep putting out the same caliber RPGs five years from now I'll be happy as a clam; Even if that game is on the shelves right next to Call of Duty: Starship Troopers. :huh:

Games, like with any art, will always be getting worse and getting better. There'll be like 90% garbage and 10% couldn't be better; For every Call of Duty there's gonna be a Red Dead Redemption. If you can really argue how multiplayer of any kind in an established single player franchise could possibly be innovative I'm all ears dude, but right now I just can't see it as anything other than whiner service.
 
As of now I'm cool with them going multi player master chief. As they've been hinting at it since the first game in how spectors operate in groups. as I said earlier in my first other posts here.

I just hope it's the one that allows you options as oposed to that new failure of one that has had people complaining ever since it was made in the two games i mentioned that started the problem and has people tripping over it being force to play in that style. That's all i'm saying biowares smart and they know what their doing. They won't do the forced crap on players. I trust them.

MP is the biggest deception thrown to the industry because someone somewhere thought that online sells games.
Online doesn´t sell games, it never did and it never will.
You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of games that sell because they have MP, but you need several hands to count the numbers of games that have MP that no one plays.
Bioshock 2 cames to mind, it sold 2.39 million on the PS3 and 360.
Bioshock didn´t had MP and it sold 3.36 million on the PS3 and 360
And there are tons of games just like that, even Assassin´s Creed Brotherhood....who really thinks it will sell more than the previous ones because it has MP?
Dead Space II will follow i´m sure, in a few months or weeks, no one will play the MP.
The reason why there is MP everywhere, like i stated above, is because it´s easier to the companies to make money from it and make people not sell their games after they finished it.

Last March, Kotaku made a series of polls about gaming habits, and the result were this:

singleormulti.jpg

46% said they mostly play singleplayer games...46%!!
And 35% say they play both modes equally, which in the end means that 81% play singleplayer games.
So, where is the all MP sells games again?
Once again...MP exists because it makes MONEY, so, the all "online is where innovation is" is a load of crap.

CoD is the only game that cames to my mind that sells because it has MP, but even without it i say it would sell 10 millions or more.
The other one that people might think is Halo, which is the biggest joke of all.

I love the Halo series, so, when i say it´s the biggest joke i´m saying because people talk about the MP like is the second coming of Christ.
But, when a Halo game is announced, no one will think "Now i can play 146 player deathmatch"; they will think about Mastyer Chief and Cortana and the Covenant....and that is SINGLEPLAYER related.
Without SP video games would be a second rate hobby.
And EA say that online is where the innovation is....what a load of crap.
Do you want anymore innovation than a story and characters?
Half-Life is seen by many as the best series ever, now, imagine that without Gordon Freeman, Alyx Vance or Dog......it would have go down in history as what........because it had deathmatch....give me a break.

Bottom line is, MP is fun, but the moment it starts to get in the middle of the actual game (aka SP), the industry will suffer in the long run.
 
Mass Effect 3! Kinda obvious but still, awesome. Glad that we finally get to visit Earth after 2 games.
 
Yep, so that's confirmed it, it's Mass Effect 3. Man what a awesome trailer.
 
I was already expecting them to go to Earth after an interview with Casey Hudson where they asked if we were going to see Earth somewhere along the line and he said....maybe.
 
Of course we knew we were going to see Earth. Hudson confirmed it outright. He didn't just say maybe.

That doesn't mean they had to put it in the announcement trailer or make it that awesome.
 
I just can't believe it, the final chapter for Shepard it's coming out next year.
 
I popped a nut when they zoomed out of the clock tower... I'm gonna play through both Mass Effects tonight. :hrt::heart:
 
Couldn't we just ask a mod to change that thread's title then?
 
Then do it. Unless there is another project announced of theirs. But if not ya just ask em to change the other.
 
Well, I'm excited. Kind of don't care about going to Earth all that much, but it's still going to be great, I'm sure.
 
EA exec Patrick Buechner has confirmed on Twitter that the game will come out on all major platforms, yes that means PS3 too. :word:
Mass Effect 3 is coming to Xbox 360, PC and..... PS3! Don't forget ME2 hits PS3 next month.
 
Well I'm sure it will be tons of other planets too.
 
Oh, I'm sure there will, just saying I don't really care all that much about seeing Earth at all since that was what the teaser and synopsis focused on.
 
Looks great! I've only played the demo to Mass Effect 2, but I'll be playing both 1 and 2 soon probably.
 
The one thing I want that many others seem to be saying too is merge ME1 and ME2 together. They are some of my fav games of all time, but ME1's RPG aspect still makes me go back to it more. I think if they brought back the RPG core but streamlined it more then they did in ME1 you would have the perfect game.
