Quote from Mass Effect News-Bot

With a new video game console generation on the horizon, gamers everywhere are hoping for the return of their favorite game franchises on the new hardware. One such franchise that many have been hoping to see a reprise from is Mass Effect, which has been on somewhat of a hiatus since the less than stellar reception for the latest entry Mass Effect: Andromeda. The past year or so has seen rumors of a new Mass Effect game or a remaster of the original Mass Effect trilogy abound, but a new BioWare job listing may point to the series’s glorious return.

As reported on Prima Games, EA has released a new BioWare job listing on their official website. The position is for a Technical Director for BioWare Edmonton in Alberta, and the studio is requesting a veteran video game developer with at least 5 years of experience. As the description reads:

You will be the most senior engineering lead on the next major title

Q&A: Origin 100 Series Part II

Following the launch of the Origin 100 series, we collected your questions in an effort to provide more information on the brand-new starter ship from Origin Jumpworks.

If you missed part I, you can read the answers here, and the Origin 100 Series promotional page here.

Special thanks to John Crewe, Corentin Billemont, and Todd Papy for their help with answering your top-voted questions.

With the 100 series now filling the “Origin starter” slot, will the role of the 300 series be impacted?

Yes. When the 300 series will get its rework completed, it will fill both a higher tier place in the ship hierarchy, and have its current roles more defined and focused. The 100 series is a great entry point for what the 300 series will become in a future release.

Given that the Mustang Delta and Aurora-LN are much more powerful than the 125a, will you consider upping the

Turian, Asari, and Krogan – oh my! When you can make a Krogan look like he came straight from a set of Galactic Playboy, you know you’re doing it right. A beloved character from Mass Effect 2 is the titular trilogy may very well have been if this cosplay is any indication. As seen below, one special effects artist created the beloved and snarky Krogan tank, Grunt, with lifelike realism.

Cosplay is an outlet for fans to show their creative passion and skill, and it looks like Elisabeth Erring has no shortage of either! With a Bachelor’s degree in mask and hair design, Erring is currently enduring special effects makeup school to up her game. Combining her love for Mass Effect and creation in one, Erring created Grunt in all his glory and publishing the progress on social media for all to witness.

Us folks here at DFTG have always had a huge appreciation for cosplay, and as such it’s difficult for us not to share some of the favorites we come by every now and then, especially if it has anything to do with the Mass Effect Trilogy. One fan cosplay in particular has begun to make some serious waves on the internet, a cosplay of none other than Tali’Zora Vas Normandy. The cosplay itself has skyrocketed all over the place thanks in part to the folks at BioWare sharing it over on their Twitter, which should give you an inkling as to how impressive it is. Check it out below:

While Mass Effect Legendary Edition aims to deliver the definitive edition of each game in the trilogy, there are of course some aspects of each title that BioWare has tweaked and changed. From new music to a distinct lack of Miranda ass shots, these changes are arguably for the better. In a similar vein, many fans of the original have been clamoring for story changes, though BioWare has explained why the studio as a whole chose not to alter the story in any of the games save for the decision to confirm the Extended Cut ending as canon.

Speaking to Game Informer, Mass Effect Legendary Edition character/environment director Kevin Meek discussed how the team went about determining what they should and should not change for the project. “One thing that really helped focus us was looking at the way fans talked about Shepard, they call it ‘my Shepard’ and they’re very possessive about their Shepard in

Quote from Wing Commander News-Bot

Classic gamer Dennis Mull has had a productive winter so far by adding a wide range of fantastic additions to his collection. What I'm most envious of is his German special edition of Wing Commander 3. Check out that t-shirt it ships with! Compare with the all black version that came in the Sam's Club edition, which he also recently obtained. There's also a double-pack of the Secret Missions. These used to be the type of thing that would eventually find their way into bargain bins in the mid '90s, but now they are a pretty nice find. After that it's a Greek release of Privateer 2, which is also really neat. Last, but not least, is a German set of Wing Commander novels.

Moving on from Wing Commander items, there's also some great aerial sims from Origin. His latest Strike Commander find is a Spanish copy of the Tactical Operations expansion, which looks good along with its siblings. He's also

A valuable work of art has been stolen by a mysterious and highly skilled criminal.

The theft took place in the Garden City Gallery on Turner's World in the Alioth system. Sergeant Femi Abram of the municipal police discussed the incident:

"Our security specialists are currently at a loss to explain how this occurred. The piece in question was inside a titanium vault surrounded by plasma grids, proximity alarms and thermal sensors. This morning we found the vault door open and all security systems disabled. On the wall was a spray-painted graphic of what looked like a winking cat."

The piece in question is a digital painting titled Youscape. This unusual cyber-artwork includes micro cameras linked to an AI node that monitor the viewer's reactions. Over time, the image alters in response to the owner's tastes.

The artwork was scheduled to be auctioned the following day. The artist, Barclay

Games on Film

podcast has recorded an episode that's all about Wing Commander. They spend more than 80 minutes talking about the franchise's background and the environment that existed in 1999. Then the commentators spend quite a bit of time talking through the highs and lows of the film itself. One thing that sets this review/discussion apart from the cliche comments you frequently see is that they thought the space action was on the boring side but were actually intrigued by the Pilgrim angle. Since their focus is all about video games that have crossed over into theaters, they make a good point that FMV-centric series seem to have an inherently difficult time gaining acceptance since it's so easy to break with cinematic styles that their fans are used to.
