Jammer. Ik koop geen ME3 voor de multiplayer. Ik heb ook geen Live(gold) account, dus ga er ook helemaal niets mee doen.

Ik denk ook niet dat de prijs van de game lager zou liggen zonder MP, maar je maakt mij ook niet wijs dat het toevoegen van MP niets kost.

Bioware maakt (in mijn ogen) ontzettend goeie SP games (Dragon Age 2 is misschien een uitzondering). Daar zijn ze goed in, daarom koop ik Bioware games. Nu leveren ze iets van hun ontwikkelbudget voor SP in voor een MP-mode, waarvan nog maar de vraag is of mensen ME3 daarvoor kopen. Als dat ten koste gaat van de SP vind ik dat jammer.

Als het ze niets extra's zou opleveren, zouden ze ook geen MP toevoegen he? Denk dat de inschatting van hun marketingmensen iets beter is dan jouw vermoeden dat niemand het spel koopt vanwege de MP...

Ze gaan er gewoon vanuit dat de loyal fanbase (ME1 & ME2-buyers) het spel toch wel koopt. Met de MP proberen ze gewoon een nieuwe markt aan te boren. Het zal ze geen reet schelen wat de fanboys daarvan denken want die kopen het spel toch wel.

Mass Effect 3 krijgt online-co-op


Door Paul Hulsebosch, maandag 10 oktober 2011 12:56, views: 4.435

"Vecht samen met je vrienden", is op de voorkant van het Australische tijdschrift PC PowerPlay te lezen. Het tijdschrift bevestigt daarmee dat rpg Mass Effect 3 een spelvorm met online-co-op krijgt. Er gingen al geruchten over de spelvorm.

Een medewerker van PC PowerPlay mocht op bezoek komen bij ontwikkelaar BioWare en sprak daar met Casey Hudson, producer van Mass Effect 3. Tijdens het bezoek toonde de studio de multiplayer-opties van de rpg. Daarmee werd voor het eerst duidelijk dat Mass Effect 3 over multiplayer-mogelijkheden beschikt. Eerder deze maand deden daarover al geruchten de ronde. Toen lekte uit dat in de verpakking van de collector's edition van Mass Effect 3 een online pass is opgenomen.

De editie van PC PowerPlay waarin verslag wordt gedaan van het bezoek aan BioWare is nog niet uit, dus er is nog niet veel bekend over de multiplayer-opties van de rpg. Het meest verhelderend is een opmerking op de voorkant van het tijdschrift: "Vecht samen met je vrienden." Dat lijkt te betekenen dat de game een modus voor online-co-op krijgt. Ook over die specifieke optie doen al langer geruchten de ronde. Mass Effect 3 is hiermee de eerste game in de serie die in multiplayer gespeeld kan worden. De game verschijnt in maart 2012, voor de pc, Xbox 360 en PlayStation 3.

Hi Everyone

Today BioWare and the Mass Effect 3 team are very pleased to announce 4 player co-op multiplayer missions and the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system for Mass Effect 3 on the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

4 player co-op multiplayer

Join your friends in the all-out galactic war to take Earth back. The universe of Mass Effect expands with the addition of new co-op multiplayer missions, playable over Xbox Live, PSN and PC internet. Players can choose from a variety of classes and races, form an elite Special Forces squad, and combine their weapons, powers and abilities to devastating effect as they fight together to liberate key territories from enemy control. Success in multi-player will have a direct impact on the outcome of the single player campaign, giving players an alternative method of achieving ultimate victory against the greatest threat mankind – and the entire galaxy – has ever faced.

Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War

As a bonus to the campaign, BioWare is introducing the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, a new way for players to manage and experience the galactic war from multiple fronts, including a new 4-player co-op mode. The key to saving the galaxy is the “Galactic Readiness” level, measured by Commander Shepard’s ability to apply
every possible asset – people, weapons, resources, armies, fleets – in the final battle against the Reapers. Players can impact their game’s Galactic Readiness level in multiple ways via the Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, including multiplayer. Other platforms and interfaces will be announced in the coming months. It is important to note that the system is entirely optional and just another way players can have control over your game experience – it is still possible to achieve the optimal, complete ending of the game in Mass Effect 3 through single-player alone.

F.A.Q.

Why include 4 player Co-op multiplayer in Mass Effect 3?

Being able to explore and fight alongside your friends in the Mass Effect universe has always been something we thought would be fun and compelling, and many players have asked for it for a long time as well. Mass Effect 3 is the best place for us to introduce multiplayer through co-op because of the premise of the game – all out galactic war.

Why only 4 player co-op? What not a versus mode?

We have always maintained that we would only add multiplayer into the Mass Effect series if it made sense and did not compromise the power of the single player campaign. Fighting together against a common threat was the multiplayer experience that made the most sense for Mass Effect 3. The way we have designed co-op as a wayto take control of key conflict zones in the galaxy is a natural extension of the premise of Mass Effect 3.

Why did you decide not to include it as a part of the main campaign?

Our priority and focus with Mass Effect 3 has and always will be to deliver a complete and satisfying single player experience.

Does the addition of co-op multiplayer missions impact the scope or quality of the single-player experience?

No. A dedicated team from our recently formed BioWare Montreal studio has been focused on creating the multiplayer game features while the main game continued to be developed by the team in BioWare Edmonton. Both teams are integrated under the same leadership group that produced Mass Effect 1 and 2, led by Casey Hudson. BioWare remains dedicated to delivering one of the most amazing single-player campaigns gamers have ever experienced.

How did developing multiplayer impact the single player game?

BioWare is dedicated and focused on delivering an engaging, fun, and action-packed experience for Mass Effect 3, one that lives up the BioWare standard. To reach that level of quality, last year BioWare opened a studio in Montreal that is home to designers, programmers, engineers, and other developers. Both studios work together as partners, lead by the core Mass Effect team, unified in a single vision. Under the direction of Casey Hudson and other team veterans, both studios make contributions to both the single player and multiplayer modes in Mass Effect 3. Rest assured that no compromises were made to either of these modes in the development of Mass Effect 3.

Which characters can I play in co-op multiplayer? Can I play as Commander Shepard?

Commander Shepard’s part in the war will take place in the single-player campaign, as will that of other beloved characters in the franchise such as Garrus, Ashley, and Liara…these characters do not appear in the multiplayer missions. In multiplayer, players will create custom characters to fight on different and unique fronts in the war. This will include the ability to play as favorites like Turians, Krogans, Asari and more… each with their own unique set of abilities.

What if I don’t like multiplayer – will my experience be negatively impacted?

Mass Effect 3 is a complete, standalone game that will deliver a satisfying story experience, even if you choose not to try multiplayer. The Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system and all of the individual components are meant to complement that amazing game and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of the Galaxy at War experience.

What if I am not good at / do not like multiplayer? Will my readiness rating go down?

ME3 is a story about a war against overwhelming force where the most you can hope for us survival. The more you do to fight that war, the more you can change that story into a more optimistic one. You can reach the highest levels of success in the single player experience alone, but Galaxy at War gives you alternative ways to get there. It’s about choice, and allowing players to find their own ways to stay immersed in the Mass Effect universe.

Will you be adding any additional maps or modes through DLC?

We can’t comment on specifics right now, but can confirm that we are planning on having DLC for Mass Effect 3.

Do save games from ME1 or ME2 impact the co-op multiplayer missions?

No.

Do characters level up in co-op multiplayer? What is the progression system?

Character progression, weapon upgrading and leveling up is present in co-op. We’ll release more information on this topic in the months leading up to launch.

Is there more info about the other platforms of Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War?

We are not going into details about the other components of the Galaxy at War at this time except to say we are designing each to make sense for that platform. Each component will be able to affect a player’s “Galactic Readiness” level in a different way. Again, participation in any or all ME3:GaW elements is entirely optional.

EA details Mass Effect 3 Online Pass

The recently announced Mass Effect 3 multiplayer mode is accessed via the Online Pass code included in every new copy of the game, EA has announced.

The new Mass Effect 3: Galaxy at War system, unveiled this week, is activated once the code found in the Online Pass is entered. Buy the game second hand, and you'll have to buy the Online Pass to access the Galaxy at War.

Players use Galaxy at War in both the single-player campaign and "through a suite of Mass Effect games and applications". They will be on iOS devices and Facebook, as revealed earlier today.

Galaxy at War also connects players to their BioWare Social Network accounts to access downloadable content and add-ons.

"The theme of galactic war in Mass Effect 3 presents us with the perfect opportunity to introduce multiplayer into the Mass Effect series," said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series.

"Multiplayer not only features amazing combat and deep customisation options, but it will give players another way to help the war effort against the Reapers in the main event - the single player campaign."

Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, created predominantly by BioWare Montreal, is a four-player co-op mode. You play an elite Special Forces soldier sent to protect resources and assets that can help the war effort against the Reapers.

Six classes are available, and six races: Human, Krogan, Asari, Drell, Salarian and Turian.

We’d like to stress that the leaked code is in a rough, unfinished state and was not meant for public release. The content is not final, and is not reflective of the quality of the finished, polished game due for release on March 6, 2012 (March 9 in Europe).
