Mass Effect Andromeda Release Date Delayed, BioWare Confirms

i wish EA would also delay Titanfall 2 till early 2017 that way its not rushed & its polished to the point it doesnt end up like BF3 & BF4 when they launched

Garbage EA marketing tactics, making it seem like they are actually doing something for the gamers.

A) Either the final product is sitting there and you guys don't want to release any new info on it because it will be heavily criticized lowering your sales, hyping it up with delays and advertisements seems to work when more gamers are sucked into the gold pot.

B) The product is not even nearly 50% done because so many lead members left Bioware(betting because they didn't want to be limited and affiliated by a greedy scum company) and you guys just need more time know how to finish it up with a garbage sequel for further sales.

C) You guys are telling the truth and I'm just to dumb for not believing you guys.

P.S. EA is the only company that I will not be bribed and take their filthy money to speak positively about them.

P.P.s to EA: You will never become Berkshire Hathaway, you are destroying the world not building it. This abomination needs to stop.

ME was always about the journey and what happens along the way. After beating the game with 5 characters I felt fairly satisfied with all the twists and turns of the plot. The ending in ME3 was exactly what nobody wanted, an ending. Not every idea is meant to have an ending.

Not shocked by the delay ME2 & ME3 had the same type of delay. I am curious how multiplayer will be used with this one.

I didn't even know this was supposed to come out this year...I always assumed it would be 2017.

I bet we get andromeda before zelda u, and it'll be bigger and better than it too.

I'm cool with them delaying the game to be able to polish it properly, what I'm not cool with is this trending behavior of announcing games for a date and then just delay them with PR statements of "we're making it as best as possible".

I'd rather them just announce they are working on the game and then post an actual release date/window that is not moved like this.

Still weary of EAware, but Mass Effect is just such good universe that I can't just bring myself to ignore it for good, learned my lesson tho, not gonna buy until release and reviews are in place, one could think they can't pull anything crappier than the RGB ending but you never know :P

Just reading this is enough to likely get me to replay the trilogy.... although i never did get that Citadel dlc.... or Omega, actually. Each time through i start a new character and go through the whole trilogy so i just didn't have 200 more hours in me to replay the trilogy again for each dlc. Wonderful series.... and for the record the Extended Cut endings were peachy with me.

Delayed so ME can be a launch title for the Nintendo NX?... LOL ( not a chance )

It's been so long since I had a new ME game. Can't wait for this.

"I am so surprised!", said no one ever. Meh. It's been a long enough wait. A bit more to make a better game is always worth it.

I guess if you're out of the loop, this could be considered "news", but it was all but confirmed that the game wouldn't be out before 2017 a few months ago.

Regardless, I hope they don't take the DA:Inquisition approach with this game too (*cough* generic Ubisoft game *cough*).

I can wait. I got so many games to catch up on, its crazy. Better to fine tune it than rushing to release it and rolling out a humongous patch later.

Not a problem, am with the group of 'would rather have something polished than a bug-ridden mess'

Pfft LOL. Not going anywhere near anything labelled "Mass Effect". I was such a fan of the series and then they destroyed not only the reasons why I liked it so much, but even the universe it was set in in the first place (no, **** it, I am not putting "spoilers" for that one, everyone knows this already).

Only at EAware can a they literally destroy a game universe, and then try to milk money from it anyway, because the "IP still has value".

- Hey, Mass Effect is a well-known IP, make us some new sellout lens flare DLC-fest pl0x!
- But we kinda destroyed the entire universe in the last game.
- So? Just stick them into some new galaxy and pretend nothing happened!
- You think they are stupid enough to buy that?
- Battlefront says hello.
- Good point, we are on it.

I hope it has a buggy in it.

Awww...Can't you just rush it out so it can be a buggy mess like The Division........

I'm fine with this. Too many games come out during the holiday. ME 2 and 3 came out around March time anyway.

Take all the time you need. You can't rush greatness.

I get the feeling the whole early announcement and release date was EA over exuberance more than anything else, however I am still optimistic about Andromeda since delaying a game for the correct reasons is a good thing. The Witcher 3 is the most recent example of this. There has never been a mass effect game that was anything less than great, I even liked the ME3 although slightly tweaked. First either the colors have to be representing the beginnings of indoctrination influencing Shepard or be removed completely since there is no right or wrong decision in that circumstance just two impossible choices forced by an utterly hopeless situation, and Second if the syntheses ending was thrown out all together, since i strongly believe it was a cop out due to the extremes of Shepard either destroying all AIs or becoming the galactic dictator and was the only decision that truly went against the themes that had been built up until that point..

"We need time to figure out what parts of the story to chop up and sell as DLC later."

Sorry but after the grandiose failure of ME3, I won't be taking any chances. Will definitely be waiting at least a few months before even considering picking this up.

Cant wait it feels so long since mass effect 3.

- vub

The ending of ME3 hobbled any chance of a decent sequel, follow up, etc. It screwed the pooch. It left the galaxy in an untenable position. Planets destroyed, Mass Effect relays destroyed. The only way forward was a completely hero character, setting, and companion and enemy characters. So, how could this really be a sequel? People want sequels because they deliver what the audience or player wants, that is familiar to them. Bioware, I believe, deliberately shot the franchise in the foot out resentment towards EA. This foot dragging, wrench thrown into the gears by a production crew is not with out precedent. In 2001, Tim Burton ended the Planet of The Apes reboot with an untenable ending because of a growing animosity with 20th Century Fox.

What EA/Bioware should have done was IGNORE the ending, and pick up the story from the ending in the Citadel DLC for ME3. Movies have done this. Aliens 3, and Highlander 2 were out right ignored in subsequent sequels. Terminator Salvation was ignored, and removed from the story line leading up to Teminator: Genisys.

I wonder what they really mean by more freedom.

Sounds like EA needs more time to chop the game and make DLC.
