Apparently there’s ”new ways to play” the third instalment, and its delay was because of ”purposefully shifting it to address a larger market opportunity.”
Frankly that last bit sounds awfully like they’ll be making it more broadly appealing, which is something Mass Effect 2 did by downplaying the more traditional RPG elements and bolstering the shooter aspects.
EA also reiterated that Mass Effect 3 would ”launch simultaneously on all platforms,” which could stretch to include the new Nintendo home console now that it’s heading for a 2012 release. Perhaps multiplayer will get in after all?
