It turns out that all of the references were pointing toward a trailer that takes place in London itself, where the last bastion of Earth’s defense forces, or at least one guy, may be holding out. We all knew Mass Effect 3 was in development, but now we know it’ll be released in the holiday season of 2011.Ī trailer shown at the VGAs mostly explains all of BioWare’s teasers, including the curious reference to the band that wrote London Calling.

The recent BioWare teaser saga that began with a brief glimpse at a mysterious project that was to be revealed at the 2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards has led to the reveal of Mass Effect 3 instead of the longtime coming videogame adaptation of Space Jam that I thought it’d be, which is better, I guess.

I look forward to the ME3 Multiplayer, I get to hang out with my friends online, and play one of my favorite series of all time, it doesn’t get better than that for me.BioWare’s incessant teasing over the past month has been for Mass Effect 3, and thank heaven for that. Shepard blasts off from some rock, having the super secret wachoowasit in hand, but there’s still a prison riot going on down there, what do you do? Who cleans up that mess? Who was that captain? Did she live? Was she the last survivor? That’s where Fan Fiction would take over. (ridiculously small ME2 spoiler) There is a scene in Mass Effect two, where there’s a group of soldiers fighting off An…Ankari? Those bug people that I saved from destruction in ME1 <- More spoilage, anyway, you kill off a few… but then you leave. The general premise being, it answers those nagging (for some) questions. To me, the multiplayer aspect of this game is like reading fan fiction.
I’d love for a game like Skyrim to be multiplayer, each player off doing their own thing, but able to talk to eachother, with two completely seperate main story lines, Dragon Age would’ve been neat to see like that. Of course, I’m one of those wierdos that thinks many massive games would do better with multiplayer. It will be back, possibly under a different name, but it isn’t going to go away. To coin another Pythonism: it’s not dead, it’s resting. Have they released a story trailer other than that very early cinematic one?Īlso, even if SOPA were dead, which I’m not convinced it is, given the amount of money involved I fully expect it to be dragged back out. It is a completely unnecessary feature, but that doesn’t mean it will be terrible.īut yes, that trailer by itself was pretty dull. Like quite a few bioware fans, when the multiplayer announcmnet happened I initially fumed and sulked, but the thing is I enjoyed the combat in ME2 immensely and, this is the important bit, as long as the multiplayer aspect is not added at a cost to the story and single player game I’m not too concerned and even cautiously interested. Mostly I’m hoping the multiplayer will not even cross my radar until I’m done with the singleplayer. I’m curious to see if there is supposed to be some sort of storyline in the multiplayer missions. Hey, Bioware, let’s have another one of those when launch day approaches in just over a month, okay? After the break I’m putting in the launch trailer from Mass 2. It’s just so damn amped up on ACTION that you risk spraining something merely by watching it. By virtue of the fact that it’s advertising the one thing in Mass Effect 3 I’m least interested in playing, combined with me being in a grumbly mood in general, I look at this and think, “Wow. There’s this Mass Effect 3 multiplayer trailer. Is it really dead or is it like Monty Python dead and will soon refuse to be taken away on the cart? It’s all too much, and not just because I can’t breath through my nose today.
Was there something about an Xbox 720? Surely, we’re just calling it that right? And something with SOPA happened, I guess, that was, for once, a good thing. After a week abroad and a week largely off the grid in Boston, I feel like I have no idea what’s happening in the gaming world.
