BioWare has today revealed the first true details on the forthcoming fourth title in the bloodline series of the Mass Effect franchise. Currently in development at BioWare Montreal, Mass Effect will make use of the technology available to the studio under the Electronic Arts umbrella, namely the Frostbite 2 engine.
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
GF365: "A friend makes the adventure all the more fun. Here are the best video game companions that will keep you company."
The Mass Effect N7 Day teaser has already been decoded, and it features Liara T'Soni talking about The Council, and The Geth can be heard too.
Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.
@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
So what does that mean to getting planetary exploration back? Adding starship combat?
Is this going to make it a better sci-fi RPG, or TPS with a sci-fi skin?
E.A really has a tight grip on their developers, everything they own is starting to use that engine because they don't have to pay licensing fees to Epic Games.
I've enjoyed the series greatly, but I wonder how this will affect the game?
Breaking News: Every EA game in the next 6 years will use Frostbite 2
Great news glad to hear mass effect 4 will be using FB2, i always kind of felt that the UE2 was holding them back visually. Can't wait to see aliens races and another normandy like ship using the gorgeous FB2 engine. Just hope this new team adopts and fixs the gameplay mechanics that was used in ME3 by using a lot more of the RPG elements present in ME1.
sorry but I just can't feel excited for anything by BioWare at the moment...
ME3 was a let down.
SWOTOR was a let down.
Founders left.
Meh.
