“Won't somebody please think of the EA investors” Mass Effect 3 to boast greater mass appeal according to EA boss John Riccitiello.http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-04-mass-effect-3-tweaked-for-larger-market
Quote:
Speaking during an investor Q&A today, Riccitiello explained that Mass Effect 3 will boast greater mass appeal than its two predecessors."One of the things that Ray Muzyuka and the team up in Edmonton have done is essentially step-by-step adjust the gameplay mechanics and some of the features that you'll see at E3 to put this in a genre equivalent to shooter-meets-RPG," he said, "and essentially address a much larger market opportunity than Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 began to approach.
Funny always thought this game was very popular, wonder if this means it going to be a 3rd person shooter only and I see that its been delayed till next year now.

Yeah, Mass Effect 3 is going to be delayed until sometime in 1st quarter 2012. I think the combat is good just the way it is and if you want to use the pauses to change weapons or give commands/special powers you can map the controls so you don't have to. As long as BioWare doesn't mass up the game I will be find with it. I just don't want Modern Warfare 2 in space. The Mass Effect series already makes good money and will be a top seller next year, if anything they should make the game world even bigger and more open ended and add space combat and that will put the fans into a frenzy

From your mouth to God's ears I can definitely say already that I will be taking about a free week from my job in order to play this game when it will be released ... given that I will still have a job by then
