Jennifer Hale Interviewed on VO Buzz Weekly



Part 2

I'm not sure how many of you saw this, but GameInformer has a video interview with Aaron Flynn, Casey Hudson, and Mark Darrah in which they discuss the next generation of consoles and what that means for Bioware games in particular. There was mention, among other things, of a new IP they're working on. Unfortunately, it's still early stages, so they're not allowed to talk specifics yet. However, there was casual talk of revisiting Jade Empire and Star Wars.

More relevant to us, Mass Effect was mentioned throughout the interview as a definite franchise for the next gen consoles. There was also lots of information relevant to ME games, like relationships, the dialogue wheel, the improvement of facial animations, etc. I found it a fascinating discussion and made me eager for what's coming down through the years from the BW team.

Raphael Sbarge's Thanksgiving gift to his fans is part one of an audio blog interview with Mark Meer.

Kimberly Brooks has a new interview up, in which she talks a bit about her role in general and Extended Cut in specific. Choice quote? "The sessions I’ve had so far have been really simple, and Bioware’s not changing the ending, but it’s explaining and justifying it more."

She also mentions that she's pretty sure people are upset because "Maybe it was too much of a realistic ending? It’s like the Sopranos, Six Feet Under… you know the main character is going to die."

So this pretty much backs up what Bioware's been saying all along - they aren't changing anything. They're just convinced that all they need to do is explain why Joker was out by the relay, make it extra-super clear that the relays aren't blowing everything up if your EMS is high enough, and we'll all love the ending. Not to mention the condescending "if you were only paying attention, if you were only smart enough to have comprehended what we so clearly showed you" attitude behind it all.
