New Mass Effect 3 screens reveal mystery turian

Oh god, where is Garrus?! OK... OK. Let's calm down for a minute. Surely there's a reasonable explanation for this. It's probably just the stand-in palette-swap turian for assholes who imported a save where Garrus was dead. Right? BioWare wouldn't pull another Grunt on us, would they? I mean, we obviously know already that Garrus is in Mass Effect 3, so there's really nothing to worry about. Let's sooth our fears by looking at the other screens...

*Slight ME2 spoilers ahead*

***************************** ****************************** *
It may be Garrus's "friend" you can choose to save or kill during his loyalty mission. Since Bioware did say people will be dead, or alive, depending on your ME2 ending. This guy may replace Garrus if he died in your finale and if you chose to keep him (his friend) alive (or just didn't do Garrus's loyalty mission).

You mean Sidonis? He has purple stripes on the side of his chin while that Turian in the screenshot doesn't seem to have them. But other than that small detail, they're very identical.

Maybe he just got his face fixed and some new armor.

Blacktric4716d ago

Turians don't erase their facepaints though, so it can't be Garrus. Besides, this Turian has much more extensions going out of his head in comparison to Garrus.

Could just be a bystander, not likely though

Lozo4716d ago

hmmm.....looks like that C-Sec guy from the first game (forgot his name).

The texture resolution on the armour seems too low to belong to a major character.

EA May Add A Replay Editor To Its Games

EA has published a new patent that wants to add a replay editor to its games, allowing players to modify the captured gameplay content.

sammichosaurus18d ago

They should fix their games first.

Knightofelemia18d ago

Most likely comes with microtransactions and loot boxes.

Inverno18d ago

Nah you just gotta watch a short, unskipable, 30 seconds ad every time you use the feature. Those same ads will then be automatically edited into your captured gameplay before your video is stored online (no local saves), where they will have the right to use for promotional purposes.

Snookies1218d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Please don't give them ideas, lol! That definitely sounds like something they'd love to do.

EA Hiring Ex-Military Personnel to Help Build Next Battlefield Game via "Hiring Our Heroes" Program

EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.

OtterX41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.

just_looken41d ago

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.

just_looken41d ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

TheColbertinator40d ago

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos7440d ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman70d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath270d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
