Some News From EA

Tagged: Bioware EA Mass-Effect-3

I called EA yesterday, trying to get an interview about Mass Effect 3.  After getting kicked around from one person to another - nobody wanted to break the news, apparently - it was finally mentioned to me that EA has Mass Effect 3 on hold while Bioware sinks all of their resources into "a new, secret Star Wars game".  Since The Old Republic is old news, I could only assume that meant Knights of the Old Republic 3.  When I asked my source - whom wishes to remain anonymous - if it was, indeed, Knights 3, he simply sighed and said, "No comment."

He did, however, share with me another bit of news which might excite people. There is currently an unnamed racing game being developed by Criterion Games (the people who made Burnout!) that will themed in the Mass Effect universe.  "The decision to make it," he said, "ultimately boiled down to keeping fans of the franchise happy while Bioware is on-hold with Mass Effect 3."

The official announcement of both, he said, would hit reuters and other news sources next week, but he did (under the conditions that I allow him to stay anonymous) say that I could give you fine Gouki readers the first scoop.  When I asked for any other interesting news from EA, he simply chuckled and said, "You'll find out a lot of new stuff at this year's E3 show."

The racing game would be cool if it mixed a few Bioware games together like Jade Empire and Knights, but c'mon seriously ... we don't need another poor attempt at a Mario Kart clone.
