RePLAY: BioWare announces Mass Effect
3: Extended Cut, the co-creator of Sonic
the Hedgehog joins Nintendo and more details on notch’s 0x10c.
True to BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka’s words, the company is releasing “Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut” sometime
this summer, a free DLC package intended to expand, clarify, and provide
closure to the controversial ending events of the game.
“Since launch, we have
had time to listen to the feedback from our most passionate fans and we are
responding,” said Dr. Muzyka. “With the Mass
Effect 3: Extended Cut we think we have struck a good balance in delivering
the answers players are looking for while maintaining the team’s artistic
vision for the end of this story arc in the Mass
Effect universe.”
“We have reprioritized
our post-launch development efforts to provide the fans who want more closure
with even more context and clarity to the ending of the game, in a way that
will feel more personalized for each player,” added Casey Hudson, Mass Effect 3’s Executive Producer.
The Extended Cut includes “additional
cinematics” and “epilogue scenes” to the ending in order to “provide additional
clarity and closure to Mass Effect 3.”
In addition, BioWare stressed that the DLC does not include new endings nor are
there any planned.
Hirokazu Yasuhara is
the co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog
and directed the early titles personally— and he’s joining Nintendo of America
in Redmond, Washington.
It would’ve been inconceivable
a decade ago: one of the men responsible for SEGA’s blue, furry mascot joining
forces with its industry rival.
And now it would just
raise a few eyebrows.
According to Gamasutra,
Yasuhara left Namco Bandai last month and is now an official Nintendo employee
at Nintendo Software Technology, a North American Nintendo subsidiary.
