Mass Effect 3 is absolutely not “Gears of War in space,” BioWare marketing director David Silverman has assured fans.
Asked by CVG if he could confirmed that the third title in the Mass Effect series won’t be “Gears of War in space,” Silverman said: “Yes. I can guarantee that. When I mention games like Gears, Assassin’s Creed or Uncharted, it’s in the guise of certain aspects: if you had BioWare’s rich, detailed story where your choices mattered, where they could determine the future of civilisations; if you had all of that coupled with the heart-stopping action of games like Gears Of War, that’s what we’re going for.”
He continued: “It’s not, ‘Let’s make a game without story and a bunch of shooting.’ It’s not about that. People tell us we’re amazing storytellers and we hope we are. We can’t give you all-out galactic war by cheaping out on the action. It needs to feel an epic war against insurmountable odds. That’s what makes the story even more emotionally engaging.”
Last week Silverman said Mass Effect 3 would ‘balance’ its shooter and RPG elements.
Mass Effect 3 will be released March 9 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
If Cliff Bleszinski or anyone else at Epic is listening, we’d play Gears of War in space.
