Mass Effect 3 open to "wildly different conclusions"

TVGB: "Being burdened with constraints related to the choices the player makes and how they play out in the next game is a problem BioWare won't have to deal with as they move on to developing Mass Effect 3, leaving the doors wide open for "wildly different conclusions," Mass Effect 2's Project Director Casey Hudson says."

Why so soon? 2 isn't even released yet.

Saaking5673d ago

I know, this really pisses me off. Developers talking about DLC and future titles even before the current one is released. I mean, that's just wrong. With DLC, they're basically telling us the game we'll be buying is NOT complete. At least wait for the game to release.

sukru5672d ago

It's already known to be a trilogy. Do you want them not to think about the consequences in the final chapter while designing the one? That would be much worse.

(Oops, we destroyed Earth in the process, how are we going to get it back?) :)

Arnon5672d ago

Mass Effect 2 releases in January, so talking about the third iteration makes sense, considering they're almost done with 2. I still expect the same amount of development time between 2 & 3.

I'm not sure what DLC has to do with ME3 as it's not mentioned anywhere in the article.

Now, I am about to be legitimately pissed because I may be misunderstanding something...

Are they saying ME2's choices won't carry over to ME3? That all that stuff you decided from ME1 down is lost in the shuffle of some Warp in the West?

Saaking5672d ago

I know it's a trilogy, but why do they have to talk abou DLC before the game releases. I'm not just talking about Bioware, a lot of other devs are doing it as well.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast203d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine203d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast203d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman203d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast202d ago

IAMRealHooman202d ago

SimpleSlave451d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave451d ago (Edited 451d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
