what the fuck is he going to announce then? there are no games
>>
>>750181427
Soon there won't be a game industry, and that's exactly the point.
Mass Effect 5 justified the existence of this TGA being an "announcement fest" on top of an award show. Now he'll give the prize to GTA 6 even though it isn't good and people stop talking about it a month from now, and he'll announce some generic chinkslop because Canada made the mistake of getting on good terms with Xi, and alienating the rest of the american market.

Soon Trump owns the vidya industry, and he kills it, because AI has to be the new thing, and gamers have to go to work, and developers shouldn't make 30 year old men sit and play video games all day anymore, and women need to become tradwives again.

Woah wait that's based af tho

>>750182438
I think the bits they knew have been leaked. The story was in flux between different versions of writer leadership.

The deus ex girl left December last year, so her version of the story isn't even active anymore. Before then, it was done by a few people from the ME3 team, some of which got fired before Veilguard came out, which was probably closer to the original teaser we saw with more of the old vibes in it, and strange emphasis on Earth.

I think they wanted to test reactions by leaking the merchandize with the "erroneous" description about Earth and the dead femshep toy, and saw that people responded negatively to all of it, and a lot of Andromeda-lovers on Reddit saying "no more Shepard" so it gradually shifted vibe, and got other writers involved as the old ones quit, and it became more of a straight up post Andromeda reboot thing, with the agent in the trench coat and all that.

6 years for a trailer?

Bar fight looked just as stupid as it was in Gaydromeda. Glad we won't have endure ol' Blueberry Clinton from the trailer either.
>>
>>750182468
Yeah I agree. I need to be saved from myself desu. I can't wait to feel my calling again, and women being put in their place.

We sometimes forget why we fell in love with gaming originally. A lot of entertainment sprung from the social values and norms we had then, like just funny little things and caricatures of our daily lives but depicted like cartoon characters or games imitating movies that imitated social archetypes of the time, and at some point people started taking fiction and games seriously. They started dissecting them, and using them to "reverse gender normative whatever" and that's where things got weird. Now the entertainment we loved so much which we reflected ourselves in became a trojan horse for social reprogramming by the mentally ill.

And decades later we don't know how to act in public anymore, and we're afraid to talk to people because they've adapted strange un-traditional behaviors from their own consumption of slop.

We have to go back to hard times before we can enjoy vidyas again. We can't just keep letting people make games whose audience is an echo chamber that already agrees with them about shit that isn't real, like there being a third gender or some shit.

We must go back to formula.

the trailer having a male asian mc told me bioware didn't learn anything and this was just gonna be another veilguard, I don't see any reason to be sad about the closure when the studio I liked stopped existing like 15 years ago

Only thing we know about him that he's a trust fund kid, his parent's founded Imax that's how he he managed to get Hollywood people at Game Awards other than that his life been mostly private.

>>750182535
I'm not the only one who noticed how the 2020 trailer seems to have absolutely nothing to do with this version of the game, then. Liara's design, the emphasis on the Reaper corpse, the ship being completely different... something happened for sure behind the scenes at some point in the last 6 years.

>The leaked Mass Effect trailer was going to be shown at the Game Awards

Bioware was straight up trying to scam investors here
>>
>>750183156

Mass Effect Universe doesn't sound like a sequel to the original series but something like the old republic but Mass Effect.
>>
>>750183156
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the 2020 trailer was put together entirely just for investors and that no one in Bioware really knew wtf they would actually do yet for a new ME's story.
>>
>>750174945
Man, why can't western devs make good games anymore? They are losing to eastern devs more often than not and it is getting sad.

Square has released 2 parts of their FF7 trilogy during the time Bioware has been, allegedly, working on Mass Effect. FF7 Revelations would have been out before Bioware ever released any work in progress gameplay footage. That trailer is probably the most work the put into the actual game thats not planning and it shows absolutely nothing new.
>>
>>750176914
Damn bro that'd be so cool! I couldn't care less if the game sucked, but boobs n shit that I could easily just look up? Oh, I'm spending!
>>
>>750183156
There's similarities to all 3 versions of the plot that I've heard of, and all of them ultimately involved Andromeda's narrative and time-skip in some capacity.

But the reality is that they had John Dombrow (ME3/Citadel DLC Lead) and Jay Watamaniuk (Anthem Lead Writer) working on the earliest pitch starting from table-meetings with Mac Walters and Casey Hudson and Mike back in 2020, so Mac and Casey nodded their heads to "something" that wouldn't violate their artistic integrity from 2012, and signed off on John and Jay to start writing a synopsis for "a future Mass Effect story".

That became this trailer, and more details we'll never hear about, but I assume all of the Geth related stuff had to do with it, and the "relocating to somewhere that isn't Earth because Earth is fucked etc." was part of the idea, and "Dead Shepard -> Revived Shepard" was some aspect of it.

But then one of them left, I think in 2022? Jay, anyway. He wasn't a really great writer and Anthem's extremely "first draft" main plot is largely his fault. He wrote some OK parts on ME3 like the Sanctuary level, all of Miranda's dialogue in that game and Citadel DLC, and Grunt's level but for me they were all hit or miss, especially the Rachni thing, and you can just tell he didn't write on the first 2 games. John Dombrow worked on the most beloved parts of ME3 and he ended up writing Ghosts of Yotei immediately after leaving BioWare. Ultimately he was dragooned into Dragon Age Veilguard as a writer because it needed the extra hands while Mass Effect wasn't progressing fast enough to justify the amount of people working on pre-production on it, within EA, so he wrote Davrik and got laid off along other Veilguard dudes in 2023.

By this point they had already adjusted ME5's progress with other creatives and it just started to become something else, which turned into that 2023 teaser with the trenchcoat.

I assume this has then progressed with the Deus Ex lady until she quit last year.

>>750179538
That's gotta be the worst part about modern game development, taking as long to make ONE shitty fucking game as it took to make the entire ME trilogy if not longer.

should've made a dlc for their old game like everyone else is doing

WELCOME.....TO HIGHGUARD 2

>>750174945
What the fuck is the point? Why are people pretending this shit could have succeeded when BioWare has been putting out nothing but shit for the last decade? Anyone remember Andromeda? Or 3? I do.
>>
>this time it surely going to be different
yeah no, the fucking trailer looks like slop
>>
>>750174945
you know how dogshit bioware is when the wokies on twitter aren't even mad about ME5 being cancelled they're mad the chuds are celebrating.
bioware's just a walking corpse put it out of its misery so they don't turn ME1-3 into some kind of it never mattered scenario.
>>
the only reason anyone still cares about mass effect is because andromeda was so ass everyone forgot it existed, i'll never forget the proportions comparisons between shephard and the andromeda dude where he looks like a baby, the retard girl art was sex thoughbeit
>>
>>750174945
Mass Effect has a way huge fanbase
they'll have the project restarted by the end of the year, count on it
>>
>>750176914
>he doesnt know
Whos gonna tell him
>>
Should've leaked it before the announcement of BioWare getting shut down. Then they might've changed their mind.
>>
>>750183210
This could well be why EA killed it now. They've consistently used the TGAs as a shield since Anthem to announce projects that wouldn't materialize for 6 years. They did the same with Dragon Age the same year that Anthem fiasco'd, and Casey Hudson was trying to save his job. It's a form of leverage against EA, so I'm sure EA was aware they were doing it, and this time went "nope."

Shame. If the Saudis had waited until after to kill Bioware, they would've cemented Geoff's rep as gaming's angel of death
>>
>>750190401
Some Saudi prince looked at EA's incoming games and trailers, axing them as needed.

It's not some Western goy nuking studios randomly or after seeing a numbers sheet.
