I'm not worried about Bioware delivering an awesome Mass Effect experience. I'm worried about EA executives, sitting in the corner over there, ready to pounce and push the game out for sale during the alpha build.

colonel1793839d ago

They surely had to learn their lesson with the backlash they got for Mass Effect 3. They will definitely deliver this time. Also, they change to Frostbite will be great for the franchise. I can't wait to see how it looks!

thisismyaccount3838d ago (Edited 3838d ago )

Indeed, especially after Don Mattrick and Peter Moore exchanged their positions at the same time, the same day, same month, same year - coincidence? :)

Peter Moore left MS to join EA Sports
Don left EA Spots to join Microsoft...

One is gone... but the EA+M$ partnership is strong as ever. There is a slim chance of them pulling the "timed-excluvise" card....

Anyway... im not sure if ME still has the same appeal as before when it what new and fresh... definitely not a system seller anymore. jm2c

Saika3836d ago

When news of ME4 first came around, EA execs vowed to not have creative influence in the developer's workflow. Since then they've removed online passes, and proved that they sincerely hate the title of worst company ever. They only do it for profit, but still.

Who3839d ago

Is ME4 confirmed as a sequel and not a prequel?

colonel1793839d ago

I heard it was a completely different story, just in the Mass Effect universe.

ELpork3839d ago

If the loading screens in 3 were to be believed, I'd wager a guess as a sequel. But who knows.

Saika3838d ago

Way back when they released the extended cut ending, Bioware hosted an hour long BioCon lecture. Even back then, about a year ago now if I'm not mistaken, they said they were specifically listening to all our chatter and babble about our distaste for the ending and where we think they should take the series in the future. Basically what I'm trying to say is that they saw that one thing was clear: Mass Effect players do not want a prequel. I would almost guarantee, happily, that the game will most likely take place during or slightly after Shepherd's reign.

pheature3839d ago

i think there going to turn this into a game similar to deadspace 3 on which you can purchase with real cash anything u want.
i hope they dont go down that way as it will take some fun from it

BlakHavoc3839d ago

Loved Mass Effect 1-3, I'm sure 4 will be awesome!

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.

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

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

Chocoburger16h ago(Edited 16h 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.

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga6d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole3d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville4d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens526d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_6d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville4d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM6d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka5d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_6d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0910d ago (Edited 10d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
