| Are these high-end PC screens or will the console versions look this good? |

| As a huge fan of Mass Effect I welcome the fact that they are expanding the game modes. As long as the SP isn't compromised, which I highly doubt Bioware would allow, this game will be a great ending to a fantastic series. |

I'm quite pleased that the Galaxy at War mode is entirely optional and isn't required to get the best possible ending for the single player storyline. As far as I'm concerned, this is the perfect way to have multiplayer in the Mass Effect universe at this point - it's not diverting key personnel away from the single player aspect, it's not essential to the game, and it's not competitive (meaning it might actually be enjoyable for me, provided I can find some friends to play alongside).
Just waiting on the reward points for my pre-ordering Skyrim so that I can order the Collectors' Edition of ME3 without having to pay anything...... |

So single player will ALWAYS be lesser if there are people assigned to multi player.
This whole "different team is doing this" is a simple deflection, after all "different team" could be a part of the original project making it better.
After a disappointment with single player BF3 campaign and obvious importance EA seem to be placing on multi player in that particular game it is not hard to see how that kind of mentality will effect the future and other titles from IPs they now own.
Further on, BioWare allowed a lot of bad things in their games in recent years, or are you one of those who thinks DA2 is a worthy successor or that a giant terminators and skimpy outfits in chlorine atmosphere are really part of ME universe and should be called "artistic interpretation"?
Anyway, I am interested in seeing a final product, have a friend who played the demo on manager's show for EB Games here in Australia and commented his disappointment upon return.So this confused us a little bit because he is a fan of ME franchise and rarely said bad thing about it...
For now this one will be a touch and go until is it actually out and properly judged... |

Shouldn't the title of this article read "Mass Effect 3 Screens are Better in Fours"? Since we're talking about a specific game here.
I'm not crazy about multi-player modes simply because of the commitment needed to hook up with other gamers. Unless it's as conveniently fun as Borderlands makes it. Anyway I'll be buying ME3 just to complete the epic saga. |

The actual story team from the first two games are working on the single-player for ME3. A secondary team has been hired to oversee development of the multiplayer mode. Both teams are in contact with Mr. Hudson. There for your equation of 2+2=5, is actually correct. In this case 2+2= fucking badass. This will be amazing. Neigh-Sayers need not play. |

| Id love for there to be MP but no MP achievements, but I highly doubt we are that lucky. I've completed ME1 and just started on 2 so am keen for the 3rd to be just as epic. But If I hear it's sub-par, I'll just save my coin for Bioshock Infinite, because unlike EA, Ken Levine knows how to make an epic single-player without feeling necessary to add-on MP. Look what happened to Bioshocks 2 and it's MP add-on! |

Well, of course they don't NEED to, but if it plays well, then it just enhances the overall value of the game.Your argument is valid, but note it goes both ways... BioShock 2 and Dead Space 2 multi player modes are the reason some people fear for this.
Also, note that a lot of players consider role playing to be a very personal experience (a conversation all in itself) so it is normal to see reluctance towards sharing it. Now I know you are going to say that they do not need to play the mode, which is a valid point but also a way in which you remove them from the game by introducing modes they do not want or wish to play, generating resentment.
I actually think Galaxy at War can be an awesome idea if done right, but given the most recent BioWare record I am simply reluctant to say that it will be done right (for I have many doubts), but rather than put down the game which is still 5 months away I am stating that "time will tell" |

This is what I'm afraid of, too. I know it's stated by BioWare that a separate team is working on MP and that SP will not suffer and I honestly think BioWare believes that. But with EA publishing the game, who knows what kind of BS EA is telling BioWare to feed us. I don't know how much pull a publisher has over the developers, but EA would monopolize the entire game industry if given the chance and I'm guessing EA would have more pull then other publishers, so BioWare may ask, "How high?" when EA says, "Jump!"
It's the "what if?" scenarios that scare me. What if BioWare isn't ready to release the game when it's time for ME3 to launch? Will EA force BioWare to divert SP resources to MP which in turn causes SP to suffer? What if the game has to be put on another disc and EA doesn't want another disc due to more costs? Will EA force BioWare to cut some of the game? If so, will it be SP or MP that gets cut?
Those are just a couple of examples. I am definitely going to buy ME3 on a midnight release if offered, and I'll reserve judgement until I play the single player campaign, but I doubt I'll even touch MP. |
