Bioware - Now Really Jerking Our Chain

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

Even if this was real I doubt that Mass Shift would be the name I mean Mass Effect was the name of the drive engines that were used for FTL travel so what the hell could Mass Shift be Do we now have cars that use Mass Effect Field generators and you Mass Shift the gears?

Mass Shift kinda sounds like a racing game set in Mass Effect universe. Like Need of Speed: Shift. Imagine such a game. I wouldn't be surprised at all if EA wanted to make that game if they happen to see this post. That idea has as much potential as guide cat for blind people though.

Look, guys...even if the general concepts underlying this weren't absurd, and even if Bioware hadn't already categorically denied it, and even if the source of it wasn't the always trustworthy 4Chan...

There's no way they would release a new game set in the Mass Effect universe under the name "Mass Shift". That's not how branding works. They've invested a lot of years and a lot of money in that brand. It has market recognition. "Mass Shift" could be an entirely unrelated franchise. It would be like Square Enix releasing a new Final Fantasy game and calling it "Final Adventure", or a new Modern Warfare game being released as "Modern Attack". It makes absolutely zero sense, from a business perspective, and the guys in suits would never allow it.

Too bad you need to play multiplayer to get enough galactic readiness so you can achieve such a high EMS.

That's not true at all. I only played a few matches of multiplayer before I beat the campaign, and I finished with excess of what I needed to get all the options at the end.

Well, to get that scene at the end, you need 5000 EMS. Without multiplayer there's only about 7500-7700 resources that you can attain in a playthrough. In order to hit 5000 EMS, your galactic readiness will have to be 67-68%. For someone will who cannot play Online, it will be impossible for them to even get over 4000 EMS as 50% of 7700 is 3850 (so close!).

So yeah, a day of multiplayer will solve the issue but if someone cannot access the multiplayer, they are screwed.

I guess you never heard of production titles.
Not that I think it's true either, but it's a bit early for that reasoning, even if it were true.

Eh...if by production titles you mean the code titles things are developed under, then I'm still going to have to disagree. It would never be "Mass Shift". It would be "Bongo Peanuts" or something similarly nonsensical and inscrutable.

Sorry, but I can't take that seriously. I guess we'll never agree on this, in that case.

Problems with this (which make me think it's false):

1) DLC changed because of cookies. Really? Not likely. Also, if Katsumi did look like someone's sister, then... wow, strange makeup decisions.

2) Prothean planet on the edge of Sol. Um what?!
Sol either refers to the Sol system or Sol, the star. Neither is possible.
Sol system - the edge of the Sol system is where Pluto is. It's cold out there. No planet would have plants, much less jungles.
Sol the star - so there's an extra planet in the solar system that we didn't notice? Next to Sol - so closer in that Mercury? With plants?! Again, no, not happening.

3)

Spoiler: reason 3

Shepard only has a body in the Destruction ending. In that ending, there wouldn't be any Reaper for her to fly around. Logical inconsistency.

4) They misspelled Grandia 3.

I'm 98% certain this is fake.

However, in the highly unlikely chance that this is real... WOW. I'm trying to defend you, Bioware. I really am. Stop making it so goddamn difficult.

Well most of the time when 4chan has something to say the best course of action is this

 

[Callate]

I'm sorry, but if I was a "ex-employee of Bioware" who "worked for BioWare for over 8 years", I could probably pick and choose where I wanted to "leak" my information, and the last damn place I would choose to do so would be 4chan if I wanted to be taken seriously.

No one talk about this anymore, or Bioware might see it and cancel this ending. Then make one that is even worse than the current 3!

You have been warned! Anyone else commenting past here will suffer immediate death!

-Edited by Mod. CAPS HURT MY EYES, OKAY?!

 

[Amaror]

Oh, come on.
Just look at the thinks he said:
- New game is named Mass SHIFT
- You fill fly a reaper called MURMUR.
- They put Kasumi into ME 2, because someone baked cookies for the crew

You can't seriously think that is real.
They fucked up the ending, but they're not THAT stupid.

This guy is exempted from instant death (cos what he says is probably valid) but no one else is getting let off

 

[Dandark]

I am talking about this because I want Bioware to cancel the new ending and make one worse than the current 3. I have posted past the warning comment and doomed ME fans forever.

Mwahahahah

OT: This is probably fake bt I wouldn't pt it past Bioware to do something this stupid.

In a nutshell. Like any parody, this is removed from reality but not that far removed from reality.

 

[Acton Hank]

Disclaimer: this information leak is HIGHLY suspect. HIGHLY.


That being said.

Holy mother of god. Not even fanboys deserve this.

It's confirmed to be fake. You can relax now.
I can't believe I just wrote that.

 

[Tony2077]

i bet he's pissed because he was let go so he decided to stir the hornets nest

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

An ex Games Workshop employee on 4chan once said that GW were going to release a Hrud codex...........

 

[Storm Dragon]

Someone posting on 4chan claiming to be an ex-employee of BioWare using poor grammar and spelling? This is the most reputable source ever!

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS ANYMORE OR BIOWARE MIGHT SEE IT CANCEL THIS ENDING AND MAKE ONE THAT IS EVEN WORSE THAN THE CURRENT 3.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ANYONE ELSE COMMENTING PAST HERE WILL BE SUFFER IMMEDIATE DEATH.

There are worse fates than death. Like witnessing Mass Effect 3 disappointing ending after hundreds of hours of gameplay and more than a dozen Shepards ready to embark on an adventure that will ultimately result in the same shitty ending.
