Apparently Bioware’s in a bit of a pickle here.
While OXM and PCPowerPlay got all excited, eager to let everyone know about Mass Effect 3 and it’s new multiplayer mode, Chris Priestly of Bioware stated, in laymans terms, to not approach this with raving, foaming, fanboy excitement.
“As mentioned by Casey on Twitter, we are confirming that there will be 4 player Co-op multiplayer missions for Mass Effect 3. We will have more details on this feature on Wednesday when the announcement was supposed to be made.
I know the immediate reaction by some is to panic and think of how this will ruin the Mass Effect series or whatever. PLEASE do not over react or assume the worst until you actually hear details on this feature and how it will work. I will try to get approval to give you details so you can make up your minds with the correct details. Marketing’s plan was to announce on Wednesday, but I’ll see if I can speed this up.
So, until you learn the details, I urge people to have cautious optimism or wary negativity until you get the real details. Thanks everyone. Stay tuned.
A rare case of a developer trying to tone down the hype in a game, and it’s probably a good thing too.
However, rejoice, because the co-op was absolutely confirmed with up to three different players!
