Amazing news: The next Mass Effect is still in development.
>gonna be gay and retardedUhh, no thanx lil’ nigga
Hey if they stick to a good story and out of social politics they might be able to pull it off
>>736266626okay lolanywayhttps://youtu.be/vZ3pQzb23JMhttps://youtu.be/eFVXookcTA8https://youtu.be/vBLIRt5XGI0
>>736266681all the people who pushed for that shit are working on Exodus or retired
Don't worry, guys. Bin Salman is a huge Mass Effect fanboy, and he's only supporting the game with big budgets, and requests for a Saudi Goddess companion.
>>736266731garbagehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akemL0MHLg4
its been 5 years already lol
>>736266757You underestimate their power.
>>736266626>development timeline of a decade with everything being redone 4 times overWhy is gamedev so retarded lately?
>>736266884because gamedev is>i have a great idea let's do pre-production and have meetings about it for 5 years>okay cool this a good idea let's outsource everything for another 5 years>oh no we fucked up >don't worry about it ship the game now and we'll fix it over the next 5 years ... probably
>>736266856
>>736267049And all of this costs 300 million now, when before the budget for WoW reaching over 100 million was seen as absurdly high. Not just for MMOs but games in general.
>>736266626Sick. The return to form is gonna be so much more noticeable after Veilguard.
>>736266626>flop after flop after flop>EA STILL hasn't killed themwhy are they constantly given second chances while all the other studios got axed near instantly in the past?
>>736266626God help us.
>>736266626lmao I actually forgot this garbage was still coming. last time I heard about it was when they were afraid the saudis would tell them to drop the lgbt shit.
>>736267383Bioware's name still means something to people, so there's no point in dissolving the studio since it's just a corpse to puppet around anyway.
>>736266626
>>736268505>so there's no point in dissolving the studioYou mean other than no longer losing hundreds of millions of dollars?
>>736266626But that's bad news.
>>736268704Apparently EA doesn't mind repeated multi-million dollar failures even when they've tanked other companies for far less.
>>736268505>Bioware's name still means something to people
>>736266681Every fucking Mass effect is gay and retarded, you can't expect the series to just change midway.
>>736266626DO A BARV NOW
>>736266626K.I'm probably never buying anything named "mass effect" again.
AI needs to be used so the NPCs can actually say your first fucking name.
>>736266626>Amazing news3 and Andromeda were terrible. Go away, Bioware employee.
>>736266626Please no, I've seen what you faggots did with Dragon Age.
ME3 has galactic-wide repercussionsME4 will somehow merge them all together in to a shitty all-endings option, sort of like Deus Ex: Invisible War did to Deus Exalso, we're gonna pretend ME: Andromeda just didn't ever happen because my face is tired.
>>736266816Dog, i'm gonna be real with you, I'm not gonna fight over these, I'm playing both of these day one.
>>736267383They haven't produced great games in a while but they have still sold and reviewed reasonably well. Not GTA or even BG3 numbers but still clearly well enough to not get axed.I think EA also likes having a RPG developer as part of their portfolio and so are willing be a little lenient, at least until they acquire a better performing RPG studio.
>>736269134>3 and Andromeda were terrible3 was not. Andromeda, msost definately.
>>736266626KEK CONCORD 5 BOYS HERE WE GO
>>736269494Their last game that didn't flop was Inquisition, that came out almost 12 years ago.In the meantime they have had 3 megaflops. The ME Legendary edition might've turned a profit too but I don't think that really counts.
>>736266626>Current Bioware
>>736269676They all officially "failed to meet sales expectations" but that is different to failing to turn a profit, especially with a company like EA.Development costs are always kept vague so we don't really know if Andromeda, Anthem and Veilguard were financial failures or if they still managed to limp into the green. Despite mixed reviews and plenty of doomposting, they all still ranked pretty well on sales charts.
>>736270157They dropped support for Andromeda in the first month. Anthem's userbase was always small and it was a looter shooter which was supposed to live off of microtransactions. Veilguard has terrible Steamchart numbers and it was in development for something like 7 years. So yeah they all flopped.
>>736266681Adulthood is realizing it was always gay and retarded.
>>736270247>So yeah they all flopped.Then explain why Bioware are still making games. Clearly even if most people aren't playing their games, enough people are buying them to keep the company viable.
>>736270606Bioware are not independent, EA is keeping them alive for some reason. How much longer I don't know.
>>736266626This game has probably been rebooted like 8 times and they've had to start from 0 every time i dont think the devs know what the story is about and EA is gonna force them to shit out another Failguard but in space from theyr scrapped mass effect mmo in like 7 months of dev time. its so sad well never see games like the OG trilogy ever again.
>>736270751>EA is keeping them alive for some reasonThe reason is that they are (or EA at least thinks they can be) profitable.There's plenty of demand for RPGs and if they continue to break even with the chance of a big hit (look at how often a RPG wins game of the year) then they would be worth hanging on to.
>>736271361Anon, they have lost EA tons of money for the last decade.They only officially have two offices left, Austin and Edmonton. I don't know what Austin even does anymore since they aren't working on SWTOR and Edmonton is now under 100 people after Veilguard flopped. The company might not even have enough people to shit the next ME out.
>>736266626I’m convinced it’ll be better than veilguard but that’s not saying much.
>>736266626who the fuck still give a shit about mass dogshit in 2026?
>>736271675Veilguard was like one of the best games ever produced you retarded little shit. You don’t have a fucking clue what you’re talking about. Decent bait, you got me without putting in any effort.
>>736271738That’s all they have.
Andromeda wasnt that long ago
>>736271738We all look at mass effect and say “yeah, that’s not a hot girl, but it’s a video game”. It’s not kissing your sisters bum fun but it’s a game that you can play. That was like one of the first cool games.

>>736270280>The beloved old games in the series were always gay and retarded chudShill tactics 101. Tear down the good and old to pave the way for their masters' subversive cancer.
>>736271506>The company might not even have enough people to shit the next ME out.Thats what EA's aggressive AI utilization is for.ME4 is going to be dogshit is an entirely new way.
>>736271675>Two days before Veilguard's releaseOh manHe fucking KNEW
>>736271675>photorealistic>aerodyne space ships design
>>736272027>>736272245Mass Effect was 20 years agoMass Effect 2 was 16 years agoMass Effect 3 was 14 years agoMass Effect Andromeda was 10 years agoMass Effect 4 was announced 6 years ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcrDWAuyqtc
>>736270280Not ME1
>>736266626>can't customize my Krogan PC's quadspass
>>736266816>the player character's voice lines are all delivered in the most bored and deadpanned tone the voice actor could do damn it really is a mass effect successor
>>736266810Saudis are middle easterners ultimately, and every single middle easterner worships AISo AI will shit up any games made by EA going forward.
>>736266626>The retarded homosexual Aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy some fucking how are in the milky way>Destroy ending is cannon, mass relays were some fucking how repaired DESPITE the technology and materials needed to repair them being labeled as "mysterious" and "Unbreakable" in all 3 games>There's a robot Shepard despite the red wave destroying all synthetic materials, including synthetic organs and even the most primitive synthetic computersNot to mention, trannyware Is making it, so it's gonna be a woke mess...
>>736267049>Industry trends mean games cost more to make>Tons of money but the budgets are actually much tighter for things that actually matter>Tons of money means corporate overreach of creatives>The creatives that are left after years of culture faggotry are few and far between>Everything is outsourced, writing, coding, graphics, all of it, but to multiple different companies, most of them are using low skill sweatshop labor, producing uneven messes>Consultation company racket and journalism/activism causes slow downs, revisions, and cost more money>All of these problems mean games often hit major snags or fail quality checks after years of grueling development>When the game releases, it's after an unreasonable amount of time and in a terrible state>tl;drThe process is bloated, the wrong people are making the decisions, the workflow is broken, everything is outsourced, and fags are still causing problems.
>>736266626>Amazing newsFuck off
>>736270280>>736268770Nice try fags
