Kotaku reporter has some extra bad news

Yeah, this place drips bunch of denial and false hope. Sadly, it will be funny to visit this place once it is official revealed that the ME brand is done and Bioware/EA is ready to move on to bigger and better things. 

And yet people cannot see the writing on the wall. They want Bioware/EA to somehow officially come out and say that ME is dead which they won't. Hell we have a greater chance of getting Jade Empire 2 (with Anthem style graphics) than we do with MEA2.

Soderlund recently admitted that mistakes were made, and he's the one who was pushing for a remaster of the Trilogy (I've mentioned this before).  Patrick Soderlund, VP of EA?  If HE is still invested in the franchise, I'm not stressing so much.  Considering that this game was thrown together in about the same time as DA2 (which means this really IS Mass Effects 'DA2 moment'), I'm...actually impressed.  AND, a whole bunch of people decried DA2, thought the franchise was dead as a doornail, wailing and gnashing their teeth as if the world was coming to an end...

...except it didn't, Dragon Age recovered in excellent fashion and is moving forward to bigger and better things as the NEW premier franchise for Bioware.  So now...Mass Effect.  What needs to happen here is NOT a reboot, but they need to sit down, tear apart the game and find out what went wrong.  THEN find out what went RIGHT and build on it.  This is NOT the end of Mass Effect.  If I had a star player who was still in their prime and traded them just because they blew one season...what idiot does that?  If they still have life in them, you get them back into shape, buckle down on them and double your efforts to win.  I could go ON and ON with the analogies, but this franchise ISN'T dead.  No way.  


Yes, it looks like they'll be cramming Multiplayer into EVERYTHING now, but that will bring in cash so they can step up the single player stuff.  YES, that happens.  Just like concert sales and CD sales having different revenue effects on the artists, different income sources for software has different and cumulative effects upon development.  We're good...and there is a strong chance of SP DLC.  Yes, they always say...'we haven't planned for any-'...lies.  They planned for it, even if they don't have all the deets nailed down yet.  We're good.

Not sold on that. Season passes are s bad thing to begin with. If it's a MP game only then fine but some people buy season passes thinking the SP content is included and in many cases it isn't. Not selling season passes for a mostly sp company is a good thing imo.

Bethesda is exclusively focused on single player and I bought their season pass early on. Going by what they delivered I got more than I could hope for for 29.99.

Indeed we have acknowledged that MEA is on the back foot but DA2 was as well and yet that got salvaged through it's DLC I think so there's every chance they might try the same tactic with MEA. There is no proof to say they will or won't at this stage which is where my "wait and see" statement comes in in my earlier post as I think we won't have to wait too much longer to find out. They've said 1.08 isn't going to be the last patch and they are going to continue to add and tweak things in MEA through patches. We just need to be patient and find out what but while they are continuing to patch things up there is still hope that a DLC or 2 might come our way.

Let's keep that short and simple. Whate facts?

Yeah, great. Happy for you.

So, when SP DLC drops, what then?

If it's the Quarian one, it's business as usual. If it's something differnt, things will get interesting.

But, again, the inference from reddit post was no SP DLC at all...like BioWare Montreal just shuttered and dropped all Andromeda related stuff hard stop. I just wish I had a better idea who the reporters sources were...low-level techs...mid-level management...grunts in animation. I mean some things are self-explanatory while others require context. Sinclair Network was recently told to turn in all "content" but to keep working on patches. If Sinclair is working the SP DLC, what happens to Montreal is irrelevant in terms of future SP DLC. I think the Quarian DLC is almost a guarantee at this point and if a 2nd one is incoming? All bets are off.

As of now, there is still a comic series and two more novels coming for Andromeda so the fire is still somewhat stoked from a narrative perspective
