Do we know what project the original Mass Effect team is working on yet?

Nope. Not even what type of universe it's gonna be. but I think we can rule out space sci-fi and high fantasy...

 

[Jaesun]

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I missed any news on that.

They teased some concept footage (after 1:16) last E3. Looks like it could be modern or sci-fi setting.

You're just a typical Codexian.

It's Codexer you dick.
Fucking Codexer.
Codexian is a style, saying 'Hey, that hivemind hates so and so, they're so Codexian.'

And don't forget: the plural is Codicks.

Don't let high expectations fool you. We all know what next Mass Efect will be in the end:

they didn't say anything specific, justing jerking off. i really hate when people make a long movie that doesn't even add anything or give any information whatsoever about the game

Couldn't they have been talking about Shadow Realms?

Looking at that footage in the video, I'm pretty sure that is not Shadow Realms.

I'm still going with the "rumor" Edmonton is basically working on a Skyrim killer (a big open sandbox RPG).

Was there an actual rumour of that nature? Would love to hear more on this.

Shadow Realms is made by Bioware Austin (SWTOR), while main base in Edmonton is working on new IP. Devs mentioned it several times (Hudson, Flynn). So as far as I understand it, there are two teams in Edmonton, one working on Dragon Age, second - former ME devs, working on new IP. Then there's team in Montreal working on new ME (some devs from original trilogy were transfered there though, I just read the infamous lead writer Mac Walters is Creative director now...) and another team in Austin working on SWTOR/Realms.

But I'm pretty sure that new IP is very far from completion. I guess 2014 is DAI, 2015 ME4 and maybe 2016 new game. All Frostbite of course. It seems EA is giving them quite long development time recently. I wonder why.

Because they possibly saw some sales numbers for Skyrim and was like WHY IN THE FUCK ARE WE NOT DOING THIS?

 

[SwiftCrack]

Why is it the only place I can find RPG fans that recognize Bioware as the supreme turd is on the Codex?
People's love for Bioware borders Weeaboo-obsessed behavior, giving anecdotes of tears streaming down their faces to the ending of Mass Effect 3 and such, and I'm sitting there feeling alone in thinking they make terrible video games, or at least have done so consistently since 2004 or so...
Why is it this loony bin only...am I a loon too? Maybe Bioware are the modern masters of game design and storytelling and I'm just retarded?

Yeah, no. Fuck off.

Mass marketing has a certain effect on stupid people.

Yeah, i was being sarcastic, should have put "wonder" in quotation marks...

BioWare boss polls fans on potential Mass Effect Trilogy re-make

New level of laziness or new level of pointlessness? DISCUSS!

 

[Akratus]

Well as long as they leave it at polishing, I would like an updated ME1.

Why? So you can have the same weird engine, ugly corridors, combat that is neither tactical nor actiony enough and derping around in Mako - only this time in 60fps?

A better version of ME1 already exists, it's called ME2.

Prolly it would be a lazy port for next gen consoles

Writing in ME was cheesy, but fun. World building was properly done and it did have that retro feel of sci fi shows of the 90s. Wasnt a bad rpg.
ME2 was a glorified shooter with abysmal writing. I honestly dont see how you can call ME2 "better" when they are pretty different.
ME2 had solid shooting mechanics and thats about it, nothing relevant happens in that game.

Polishing a game does not only include updating graphics. And ME2 is shit.

I hope they call it Babylon 5: The game.

ME2 is on the same level as, say, a really shitty B-movie. You recognise that it is shit, but you love it anyway because it's still a fun romp and enjoying that B-movie is not really a bad thing. That was my experience anyway.

Spoiler

ME2 was also the best in the series

"People want everything, but they don't want to have to work for it."

Indeed, some people don't like to be ripped off for shit that is in the base game, only locked away because some filthy corporate jew wants to cash in some easy money on the retards that will pay for it.

Moar lulz can be found in here: http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/9041985/1

Lots of Biodrones already ordering their dolls from Amazon.

Selling shit for the highest price you can get while spending as little as possible is not something that's particularly specific to the gaming industry.

And the second part of his argument is completely valid: as long as there are retards buying our shit and making us millions while we barely put any work in for it then why should we stop.

First part of his argument and how he's trying to say that people don't want to pay or "work" for it is hilarious though, it looks like a piece of republican propaganda in how they put in the word "work" and make to make it seems like the user who wants it is COMPLETELY in the wrong and dishonest.
