Massive delay for Mass Effect: coming September instead

BioWare's Mass Effect - Image 1Last month, we reported on Dr. Ray Muyzka's pleasantly cryptic statement that Mass Effect won't be showing up at this year's E3. This sparked speculations, and then some, that Mass Effect won't be showing up at the July event because it would have been released by then.

For a while, we carried on like so, holding on to the hope that the BioWare spokesperson gave us. Until today, that is. Apparently, we just might be seeing Mass Effect in E3, after all. That's because Microsoft has officially announced this morning that the game will be coming out in September instead.

Yup, that's a pretty massive delay for all you fans out there. We hate to disappoint you, but no other details were revealed regarding this delay. But we're pretty sure there'll be fireworks aplenty come September. After all, Mistwalker's Blue Dragon is also slated to launch that month. So until then, we suggest you keep it posted here for more updates.

All ad campaings were postponed a few weeks ago so this was not really a shock. Guess we will have a few extra weeks with Forza 2.

Better to wait and get the best result

Better to delay than to bodge it up, plenty of AAA games coming out between now and then anyway

wtf

Yeah right, ur saying this cause it got delayed, ofcourse what would a *****ing xbot say else. Hell even if it would be delayed by 3 years you'd say the same. Pathethic...

Once again, QJ's wrong! :D

http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=561096&forum=104&sp=120 From an official Bioware employee (Chris Preistly), no release date set. It's not true, people.

um

so youd rather have a game full of bugs right now than to wait a couple of months and have it be flawless? maybe thats why PS3 games have such bad framerate problems

As I said, the ad campaigns were all stopped.. it is definately not going to be out this summer.

wtf??

What the ***** is your point you hardcore *****up, if a game is done, it's done. PLUS every game could be in the *****ing "polishing" state for 10ths of years, just to fix these "bugs". HEY ***** we're living in an ONLINE CONSOLE WORLD, we got PATCHES for this. You pile of steaming *****, you simply suck *****.

huh

what are you raving about?
by - 2007-04-23 12:24:08
haha

settle down, sony boy, dont be mad at me because your PS3 games are buggy as hell. and youre right, if a game is done, its done. unfortunately, i dont think they would delay a game just for the hell of it, its obviously not finished yet you moron. and hey, you say theyll be in a polishing state for 10ths of years?? you do realize thats only one month, dont you retard? you go ahead and buy a crappy PS3 game and wait for the devs to release their patches, ill buy a nice polished game in september and enjoy it bug-free right out of the box.
