BioWare Explains Pinnacle Station DLC Exclusion From Mass Effect Legendary Edition, "Heartbreaking"

Pinnacle Station is DLC that many Mass Effect fans have been clamoring to know if it will be included in the remaster or not. The answer is no, but the reason may surprise you.

Why you back up a back up, then do another back up with different storage method.

Code sent over contained almost all corrupted data – even vital links were missing.

Checking the internet it was 2-3 hours in length so EA should have put the money in so that it could be recreated.

ED-E1174d ago

He explained that a whole team would work on it for six months for one of the worst ME dlcs in the series. If he pitched that to the producers at EA to invest an additional million or more, so his team could recreate it, he would be laughed out of the room.

It really wasn't an essential dlc, it was a story free shooter dlc people played to get the all achievements. https://www.metacritic.com/...

@ED-E Fair enough. I actually played on Xbox 360 many years ago, but I can’t remember it, so maybe that’s saying something!

Mithan1175d ago

Common issue and it sucks. Ultima 7 had the source code lost, so no further development on that game ever happened for example.

Installing Pinnacle Station was a pain in the ass too, and I hoped to see it here. Oh well.

On May 14 we get to finish the fight! Oops, wrong game!

RememberThe3571175d ago

That's that top flight management EA is known for.

loxim1175d ago

Couldn't they just use the dlc that you can still purchase for pinnacle station and pull the code from that??

frostypants1175d ago (Edited 1175d ago )

Great thought, but a program is compiled code. Reverse engineering a compiled program back to to code is insanely difficult (and it won't look like the original source code). Sorta like asking "can we get flour and eggs by un-baking this cake?"

Fluttershy771175d ago

They could remake the DLC... oh no, that would actually require some effort. The whole thing has the stench of EA all over it... if they f-up this, bioware is truly dead. We'll see

loxim1174d ago

Didn't know that it was like that, makes sense. It wasn't a great dlc anyways.

autobotdan1175d ago

Oh well you can always play/use it on the xbox 360 backwards compatible Mass Effect. There is always the Xbox 360 backwards compatible Mass Effect games if you want all the original DLCs

The og deus ex is magical. Im also very exited about mass effect legendary edition from the gp. Its next on my playlist never played mass effect game before.

IamTylerDurden1353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Never played ME? It's imo the greatest trilogy of all-time and perhaps the best setting outside maybe Fallout. Play it. Great DLC as well. In 2 & 3 at least. Skip Andromeda. Also, Human Revolution was great as well even if OG fans claim otherwise.

shinoff2183353d ago

Mass effect 1 was great. I feel they dumbed down alot on the 2nd one and seemed more action like. Mass effect 1 the citadel was an explorable city. Far as I got in Mass effect 2 it was reduced to a location list no traveling through it. I disliked it alot(the citadel) part. I also feel they went more action oriented then rpg

just_looken353d ago

It always makes me mad when you see something you have done in the first mass effect or dragon age can make something change in the 3rd because bioware make 6 games in what 8 years? that did this but today 0 games do this.

I wish we had trilogies today were we can share saves and have multiple endings/path's on all 3 because of choices from anyone of them.

Its so funny being the bad sheparad from one to 3 then the end having just you and joker ha ha yet everyone is like hey your a hero with a 90% casualty rate.

CBaoth352d ago

Fallout can't hold Mass Effect's jockstrap. The one Fallout even in the ballpark is 3, and that's only because the DLC was extremely good. When Ken Rolston was in Bethesda's employment were they good. That's about it. They're now the world's greatest copy/paste developer out there. Bioware at their pinnacle was ten times better a studio than Todd's team. Go look up the games

IamTylerDurden1352d ago

Mass Effect is my favorite, followed by 2 and 3. Yes, ME2 was dumbed down but also refined in terms of polish and accessibility. ME2 had an awesome story, great DLC, and a solid cast. Mordin in particular. It's a great game. Even 3 which was the weakest was still solid imo despite the ending. If u love ME how do u not enjoy all 3?

Fallout is not a better game though FO3 was great. In terms of setting though Fallout is Mt Rushmore. The 50's post apoc setting was brbrilliant. I still put ME setting n lore above but FO is up there with setting.

Man play mass effect, best games ever

Miraak82 353d ago

Xenogears is my fav sci fi rpg

closed_account352d ago

Right? There's a serious lack of classics on this list.

The original 2 Star Oceans. Rogue Galaxy...

IamTylerDurden1352d ago

Rogue Galaxy never got that critical love. Beautiful PS2 game. Was it L5?

closed_account351d ago

@IamTylerDurden1 Yep, Level5. Love their stuff. Dark Cloud 3 please...

Godmars290353d ago

Why aren't there more? A Star Trek RPG for one. Or something with non humanoid aliens?

shinoff2183353d ago

Cause for some damn reason medieval is more popular ugghhh. I'd take some sci fi sh anyway over it. I've said time and time again I hope the elden guys are working on a sci fi type game.

Godmars290353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

Something non-post apocalypse or dystopian. Just world saving. Fighting bad guys while doing good and dealing with ethical/moral/psychological quandaries.

sadraiden352d ago

The reason why fantasy RPGs, and Fantasy as a genre, are more popular than Sci-Fi, is because of the low technology/high magic tropes. If all of your problems can be solved with looking up the answer on a smartphone, well, there's just lower stakes than if a character has to have a sword fight, and climb the tower, and rescue the fair princess and recite the ancient incantation to seal the evil.

Obviously you can have universe ending stakes in Sci-Fi, but that requires abstract reasoning, and an ability to RP in a way that is progressive instead of regressive. Couple that with Sci-Fi games and media generally being faster paced, and you've got a genre that attracts a very specific demographic of gamers.

just_looken353d ago

or go crazy and make a starship troopers rpg can you survive the bug fight?

The animated show was great showed what someone can do with the lore.

Fist4achin352d ago

A Starship Troopers game as a real time strategy like the command and conquer series would be awesome.

just_looken352d ago

@fist

We have that today but its a small team with a smal budget
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Its not a major rts sadly but a start

jznrpg353d ago

I really hope Naughty Dog is doing a Sci-Fi game. As a lover all most things RPG I would love to see Naughty Dog quality in an RPG.

porkChop353d ago

They could do some really great stuff with sci-fi. The sense of grand adventure of Uncharted, but also with the stealth and crafting of The Last of Us. Different planets, creative alien races, collecting junk to craft repairs and upgrades for your ship and weapons, etc.

shinoff2183353d ago

Porkchop

Your getting me excited for something that doesn't exist. Damn

shinoff2183353d ago

He'll yea , hope we here something about that if they are. I'm not to worried about factions at all

just_looken353d ago

If it was the old naughty dog i would want that the new naughty dog no thanks.

IamTylerDurden1352d ago (Edited 352d ago )

TLOU2 is the finest game ND has made. U4 was fantastic. New ND is a more impressive ND. I don't rate Crash n Jak like i do Uncharted and TLOU. Even Uncharted 1 and 3 were not as well crafted as TLOU, TLOU2, U4 imo. Idc if ppl troll TLOU2, most ppl are clueless, that game was incredibly impressive.

TLOU2 combat, visuals, and acting were the best of the genre. I found the story deeper and more profound than most but it's subjective. The level design was excellent also. The score. Audio. Animation. It was a masterpiece to me. The rope physics, detail. TLOU2 deserved Elden Ring scores and ER deserved TLOU2 scores. If any game deserved 97 in recent years it's TLOU2. Best game i ever played and if ppl come with Abby bs i already know it's not worth it. Those who call TLOU2 trash are foolish. Just look at it running...
