Just some stuff from EGM. I know some was posted, but I'll list some stuff. Not sure what has been posted.
-Mass Effect 2&3 to be published by MS according to a close source on the game.
-UK-based Develop magazine was told by Phil Spencer(MGS) Mass Effect will continue to be an important franchise for the company.
-According to EGM EA could benefit with Jade Empire 2. John Riccitello(EA CEO) is a self-proclaimed fan.
-Bioware and EAs partnership in no way impacts Sonic(Sega) or Lucasarts/Biowares project. Sonic is on track to ship in 2008. EGM hears the game might arrive early this spring.
EGM afterthoughts with Casey Hudson
-As ME started to wrap up they had to cut some aspects of the dialogue system. Wasnt working the way they intended. Wants to focus on it more in the next ME. Not only ability to interrupt characters, but also other active things to the conversations.
-"We didn't get much negative feedback during development with inventory screen, although(if stuff doesn't work right), that's definitely something we want to fix in the future."
-Casey Hudsons fav. character is Liara
-Working on some really cool stuff for DLC(No details)
-DLC will be much, much bigger and better than KOTORS meager offering
-DLC was built into the design of ME
-Goal for trilogy is to finish it on 360. As long as 360 is around a few more years they'll be able to have them all out. And you'll get to play with the same character you created in the first game.
-Elevators weren't the most epic part of ME according to Hudson.
