BioWare CEO on Mass Effect: more content in the future, cross-platform possibili
Posted by admin in Video Games
BioWare CEO Ray Muzyaka was recently interviewed regarding the Personal computer version of Mass Effect (the game is also available on the Xbox 360).
While he didn’t speak about the authentication scheme issue in Mass Effect that upset quite a number of gamers, he did explain why the game was first released on the Xbox 360 as well as what content gamers can anticipate in terms of content in the game.
Muzyaka explained why the game was released on the Xbox 360 first. He pointed out that the Mass Effect was originally designed to be an Xbox 360 exclusive from the get go. Late into the game’s development, a decision was made to bring it to Personal computers as well.
Talking of the Computer version, you might recall that the game will be getting its first downloadable content, Bring Down the Sky, for free. Muzyaka stated that we should anticipate to see more post-release content in the future:
Oh yeah, we have large plans for post-release content with the franchise for both Xbox 360 and PC. We haven’t released any details on that yet but it’s something we want to actively support.
In addition, he also shared a few thoughts on the possibility of a Mass Effect game on the PlayStation 3. While he didn’t specifically state that the game (or its sequel) might be going cross-platform, he didn’t deny it either:
We’re not commenting on any platform extensions… we’re not really speaking about future titles. But, you know, Mass Effect is Xbox 360-exclusive, Microsoft is a great partner, we’re bringing Mass Effect now to PC and we’re going to make sure it’s a great experience for our Personal computer fans.
In the future on other products, we’re a division of Electronic Arts now, and we’re working on all the different platforms across the board, pretty much.
