VGS 81 – Mass Effect Special: Andromeda news, Romance retrospective + Chat with the writers

This week on VGS…. We take some time to honour a game franchise that ruined and then enriched most of our lives, Mass Effect. Born in the womb of Bioware, Mass Effect has set the standard for sci-fi in the universe of gaming as Star Trek did for television. It’s not only a proof of concept but an important stepping stone in how stories are told. ………..NEWS OF THE WEEK………… Mass Effect Andromeda is due out early next year and thanks to the team at Game Informer we now know a whole lot more about what makes the game tick. Find out, who you will be playing as. Who you will be killing. Why you will be killing and jetpacking and traversing. Why this is all important. …....….FEATURE INTERVIEW………….. Over the last several years we’ve had the chance here at VGS to speak with A LOT of people who make games at Bioware. In honor of N7 day and Mass Effect we’ve put together a Ted Talk of sorts from writers Drew Karypshyn and Patrick Weekes on the sci-fi series. We spoke with both of the aforementioned titans of lore years ago but thought it would appropriate to revive their sobering words from the dead. ************************************************************** For more Sophistry, click below: www.youtube.com/user/VideoGameSop…ub_confirmation=1
