Mass Effect News Thread

Wait. This is not a drill? It's for real?

Plus if they were going console exclusive, it would almost certainly be Xbox since Microsoft gets along with EA better than Sony does, like Microsoft supporting EA Play on Xbox while Sony refused to let it on Playstation. 

So much wood for the fire, it's about to be burning man up in here!

Yeah might be VR Related. Keep in mind them doing something for PS VR is because that is it's own platform. Yeah it requires a PS4 or Neo (or whatever comes out later on) but the only way to play anything with it is via the VR shit. So it's not 'really' the same as there isnt much else they could release it on outside of PC. That is, they're not ignoring Xbox by doing it since Xbox has no VR directly.

Though when Scorpio comes out next year it'll inevitably support PC-based VR options. So we'll probably start seeing more cross VR stuff at that point. My guess is it's the new IP, or some old IP for VR. And If it's not VR and the new IP, they probably have like you said some PS exclusive items or something.

Which brings me to - fuck how Sony handles exclusive DLC. I'd rather they do the month thing but they try to go full exclusive or in Destiny case 1-2 year long exclusives. I know people bitched at MS about it last generation but Sony was doing it too and everytime they did it was 100% exclusive never making it's way. So fuck that, and fuck them for keeping that up. Glad MS dropped the practice entirely.

Sorry if sounds stupid but since I dont' use twitter I'm not that sure I got the right idea. Should we expect something from Bioware at the next Sony conference today? Is Mass Effect related? Thanks

My thoughts on this is that they are going to announce VR support for Andromeda, maybe with a couple o' screenshots, or has this already been confirmed?

Just my thoughts.

  Nope. It's garbage day over here.

Certainly no info about Mass Effect Andromeda. Maybe the new IP.

I'm sure every game studio and publisher is investigating VR.  I'm also sure that the current VR tech is limited and better suited for some games and not others.  Hardware wise, VR tech is very demanding and very expensive. Early adopters of the tech are few in numbers. Add that up, and what I get is no EA VR game this year or next.  There won't be any until the price point for VR gear comes down and the hardware devs overcome the headaches when watching a VR game a longer than 10 min. or so.

An official announcement about the new secret IP is more likely. I hope its punk in style.  That wall image (from the MTL studio?) alludes to it.

very likely to be fair

A good policy

I believe it's more likely it will be about the New IP.
