Ah, rumors and leaks. I always find it funny when companies employ tons of people to work on a project and then are surprised when some of those people spill the beans. Of course, who knows if this leak is real – in the interest of protecting identities, we have no was of corroborating this information. Still, as far as rumors and leaks go, this one sounds pretty viable.
Over on Reddit, someone decided to leak a bit of info to the moderators. If you’d like to listen to the moderator share what was leaked, here’s the video:
According to the information provided, the game will be squad-based as it was in the original, with the player taking on the role of the protagonist joined by two team members. All squad mates have jetpacks which come into play for exploration. Speaking of exploration, we already knew that the Mako would be returning, but it seems that it will also include customization options – make your own Mako?
Thanks to the new and improved Frostbite, we can expect destructible covers. The game will also focus more heavily on exploration, with the main character referred to as ‘the pathfinder’ and the addition of a pathfinder quarters section on the (totally different) ship. In fact, the ship will also travel in a new way, with the game removing the old jumping around via galaxy map and actually letting players fly the ship. I hope that there’s an autopilot for people like me – I prefer to let computers fly my spaceships instead of manual steering and the like.
None of these rumors sound that outlandish to me. We knew the Mako was returning, and it makes sense for them to add customization to it. Same goes for added elements of exploration and environments. I just hope that Bioware releases a new trailer showing these things in response to the leak rather than closing the lid on information any further.

You’ve probably read all the spoilers and seen the outrage. If not, this image will make sense after the end

Okay, cool cool. I have actually only heard the outrage, but don’t know much what it’s about.

The epic finale to an epic RPG trilogy is epically average.

I wouldn’t say epic.

Regardless of the outrage I still say play the game. Its one of those epic games you have to complete to enjoy the full story. Mass Effect is theeeeee best game Ive ever played. Regardless of the ending.

I just finished 2 a while back, but it didn’t quite get me as much as everyone else was going on. It’s good, no doubt, but I might have expected too much from it considering how everyone was going on about it.

Thats why when a bunch of my friends tells me a game is so awesome and they praise it to the heavens and back I still keep my anticipation for it low. Cause if you expect something to blow your mind considering what everyone says then i’m guaranteed to be disappointed.
