Do you think the fans will tolerate a genre change like that? ME and FPS.. its like raisins and popcorn. Pretty risky.Totobeni said:well to be honest Mass Effect FPS can be really big ,and the series is already about space military and shooting so It's not that bad.

Fallout 3, GTA 3, Resident Evil 4, Duke Nukem 3D, World of Warcraft, and Red Dead Redemption were all pretty vast departures from their previous iterations.water_wendi said:Do you think the fans will tolerate a genre change like that? ME and FPS.. its like raisins and popcorn. Pretty risky.

Exactly. And since this isn't a replacement for Mass Effect 3, which BioWare Edmonton is working on, where's the harm to the core series? Larger fanbase?Nirolak said:Fallout 3, GTA 3, Resident Evil 4, Duke Nukem 3D, World of Warcraft, and Red Dead Redemption were all pretty vast departures from their previous iterations.
This has blown up on people in the past, but there's definitely a precedent for success as well.

Well, that's the incisor rifle, the armor pattern is pretty Mass Effect like, and the Twitter clues point to things in the Mass Effect universe.Jerk 2.0 said:Are we sure that this is Mass Effect related?
duckroll said:This is it! Mass Effect: Earth by Obsidian Entertainment, a brand new epic stand alone RPG set in the Mass Effect universe! OMG! YES!
Setting myself up for massive disappointment.

Also, they locked the thread on this in the Dragon Age general forum, noting it wasn't Dragon Age related, while leaving the one in the Mass Effect general forum open.
I'm going to guess this comes out in either Q2 or Q3 and Mass Effect 3 is coming out in March 2012.Lakitu said:I thought it would be something like this after all the rumours that Bioware Montreal were working on Mass Effect multiplayer and a military FPS. So it seems plausible.
I think it's for the better as well. This way Bioware Edmonton can focus on Mass Effect 3 without the need to streamline the game further by shoehorning a multiplayer component into it and they can focus on adding richer RPG features that Christina Norman was mentioning. Which is absolutely what I want. It's also not surprising considering Greg and Ray mentioned that multiplayer is a possibility in the universe and that there would be games outside the main trilogy.
They can maintain and build a multiplayer component / userbase through these games (as well as updates / sequels), and leave the trilogy as is. They can do whatever they want.
I'll probably end up purchasing it mainly because I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, the multiplayer component may be interesting with biotics etc and the single player portion would definitely be interesting.
But my main interest is any ME 2 DLC and ME 3. Which I don't expect until early 2012. Maybe later.

I'm leaning toward Q2 since John Schappert mentioned that there was something far reaching from the Mass Effect universe for Q1 2011 in their first earnings call of the year, but mentioned that they moved some things in and out of the fiscal year in the next call, with this probably being one of the ones that was moved out.
Lakitu said:Yeah, you're probably right there. I'd expect this, ME 2 PS3 obviously and ME 2 DLC next year bridging the gap to ME 3. It makes me wonder when they'll reveal ME 3 though.

Shadow Broker was the bridge I think.
Mass Shooter in March 11.
Mass 3 between November 11 and March 12.
They said there is more coming, if I am not mistaken.GlamFM said:I think we´re done with Mass 2 DLC.

I believe you're right.derFeef said:They said there is more coming, if I am not mistaken.
EA's actually revealed their release schedule through March, so the earliest this could come out is April.GlamFM said:I think we´re done with Mass 2 DLC.

Solo said:Pretty much. Between the direction ME2 took and this news, its like Bioware couldn't be drifting further from my tastes as a gamer.

subversus said:how dare they try making the game in some other genre!!
Sotha Sil said:If their boards is any indication, they could just make a Serious Sam clone and sprinkle it with interspecies romance. At that point, 90% of their fanbase wouldn't notice the difference.
Solo said:I haven't visited Bioware's forums since they became part of EA and became fucking awful a year or so back.
Solo said:Make as many games in as many genres as you like. Just dont slap Mass Effect onto them.
This news makes me even less optimistic for ME3 now, despite the fact that the two projects are unrelated.

GlamFM said:Relax!
2 different teams are working on 2 different games within the Mass Effect universe.
How does this affect your optimism towards ME3?
