BioWare might change Mass Effect 3 script in wake of leak

Probably as part of some diabolical, taking-candy-from-babies Reaper plot, an unfinished build of Mass Effect 3 was recently leaked onto Xbox Live. BioWare’s troubles didn’t end there, however, as a Russian website took a quick dip in the code and emerged with an equally still-in-progress version of the game’s script. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop many fans from taking it as the Gospel according to Shepard, and the world’s biggest pitchfork and torch convention convened right here on our humble little Internet.

Will this mean another delay?

SignifiedSix4543d ago

I would hope not. Been waiting for this game for some time now!

rezzah4543d ago

Hope they do it, maybe it'll teach some people for being idiots.

radphil4543d ago

So millions suffer a delay for the choices of a few?

unknownhero11234543d ago

think of it this way, if bioware does change the script then those nasty few won't/can't ruin the story for others so it would be a blessing in disguise!

rezzah4542d ago

Patience is a virtue, the worst that could happen to a person in that delay is that they lose a limb, go blind, something happens that prevents them from playing forever; at the very worst is death.

The chances of any of these is low unless you put yourself into a situation that may increase anything from happening.

People will learn to live on despite the delay, and if they choose not to then can you picture anyone killing them self for a delayed game?

radphil4542d ago

"think of it this way, if bioware does change the script then those nasty few won't/can't ruin the story for others so it would be a blessing in disguise!"

They're not randomly going to stores and yelling it out, or making prank phone calls about it.

Hell many people don't even know it's leaked.
I didn't even know it was leaked till someone said something about it in this article.

SilentNegotiator4543d ago

It'll just mean a delay or thrown together ending if they do.

What does changing it accomplish? Are there just millions of people who read the leaked story and said "Yay! Now I don't have to buy the game to know how it ends!" or are a couple of dorks having the story leaked on them ruin everything? No? Then don't waste our time and yours, Bioware.

Me and 99% of potential buyers haven't read the leaks.

potedude4543d ago

Surely they cant re-write now? The game is so close to launching and a complete re-write would take months. The they would have to re-animate some of the facial animations and that would take ages too.

This is the game I have been amped for, even more so than (dare I say it) Skyrim. Stupid-ass hackers and leakers and whatnot. Ruining my gaming paradise...

pctrollv44542d ago (Edited 4542d ago )

haha, what a bunch of pussies, seriously, no doubt its going to be worse now. Who cares if a bunch of morons leaked the story? my god, get over yourself bioware, after playing skyrim (i have never enjoyed an elder scrolls game), i realized how shitty DA2 is. I knew it before, but then i realized how skyrim, witcher 2, and DA: Origins are miles ahead of DA2. DA2 is a kiddy rpg, for rpg noobs, for gamers no older than 15 years old, with big boobs and asses and some bad words for the hardcore posers on the deadbox. Bioware has nothig on bethesda or cd pprojekt. ME3 is a third person shooter and nothing else.

Xyle4541d ago

Hey bud, your opinion here doesn't matter. ME3 will be epic. Console wars aren't wanted here either, go eff yourself

steve30x4542d ago

I might be wrong about this , but the leak could have been done on purpose to get some feedback on what is done so far.

BioWare Could be Working on More than Just Dragon Age Dreadwolf and Mass Effect 4

Earlier this year, BioWare was hit with layoffs as part of a downsizing of parent company Electronic Arts, but fans have been reassured that the next Mass Effect game hasn’t been impacted. Likewise, Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s development is still churning along, with BioWare putting it at the forefront of its focus and rumors suggesting that it could launch sometime later this year. Fans might be getting another look at the long-in-development Dragon Age: Dreadwolf at the Summer Game Fest in June.

If the recently posted job offering for a temporary development manager is any indication, BioWare could have yet another surprise up its sleeve for when Mass Effect 4 and Dragon Age: Dreadwolf are nearing completion. This mystery BioWare video game could truly be anything, from another spin-off of its two major properties to something entirely new. All there is to go on at the moment is a vague mention in the job posting, and it might still be some time before BioWare is ready to confirm any new games in its pipeline.

So a studio that spent years on anthem then this dragon age thing is now also working on another ip along with mass effect,

You think they would be worried that there brand has been on 3 major screw ups

Dragon age 3 launched broken with the frostbite engine yes its a good game but you can see in the late game how rough it was

anthem......

Mass effect 4 well that dev team was fired so yeah.....

They should make sure this new dragon age is a goat instead of putting more work on the table

bababooiy21d ago

Bioware today is like 150 poeple i dont see how they are seemingly working on all these projects at the same time.

Michiel198921d ago

Inquisition wasn't broken, it just had some flaws and on the contrary it also had some strengths. If you call inquisition a major screw up then idk what to say.

That said with what happened to the study since then and now, I'm not really confident that their next game will be any good.

just_looken21d ago

If you played it fully to get plat like me back in its novemeber launch window you had that castle with empty area's endgame missions not there or working and a mp that was made around loot box grind like the mass effect mp.

Its hard to explain to those that played it years later after they tossed out the dlc/patch's

Michiel198921d ago

entitled much? I played it at launch too. Why you even platted it if it was a "major screw up"?
It was good enough for you to sink 100 hours in but also a complete fuckup at the same time, make up your mind.
So either you like shitty games or you're just talking out of your ass.

RaidenBlack21d ago

Well just wanna say, Archetype Entertainment is the new BioWare, composed of mainly ex-BioWare vets.
And they're developing Exodus (starring Matthew McConaughey), a new sci-fi RPG (spiritual successor to Mass Effect, dare I say?)

CantThinkOfAUsername21d ago

I hope it's a single player game with Anthem's gameplay mechanics.

Becuzisaid21d ago

They're owned by EA. What makes you think that they wouldn't publish for PS5? Shoot, if your fridge could connect to your bank account EA would try to release it for that if they could!

Double_O_Revan21d ago

How about they focus on those games and not over extend themselves? We don't need another Anthem.

Becuzisaid21d ago

Bioware died after Inquisition (some would even argue after ME3). They are no longer the same company.

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