Rumor: Ex-BioWare Employee Leaks Mass Effect 3 DLC, Terminator, Mass Shift Info And More
A person who claims to be an ex-employee of BioWare leaked quite a bit of information on 4Chan. The person says they worked for BioWare for over 8 years, and that they want to give everyone an insight on what BioWare has become. They also posted some things about upcoming releases such as Terminator. If you would like to know what the person actually said on 4Chan, you can click here. I have also summed it up below as well.
About BioWare And EA Games
“For about 5 years now, the company has been dominated by EA Game’s strict timetables and budget restraints,” the person wrote. “To the fans: please do not be discouraged by what little PR EA allows to get out. BioWare is still full of people who love video games, who want to put passion into their games–but they are being stifled. Do not be angry with BioWare. Be angry with those who are stifling them (EA Games). Your anger is not enough. Speak with your money. It is the only language EA understands.”
What he means is that everyone should cut back on buying games and such from EA. If enough people stop buying EA’s products, they will be forced to listen to what the fans want.
Terminator Information
“Terminator is a post-ending DLC. It has been in production for months,” wrote the supposed ex-BioWare employee. “Javik was originally from Terminator, but they bumped him up because they felt Mass Effect 3′s cast was too small. Terminator is about the party crash landing on a Prothean planet on the edge of Sol, and then they have to figure a way to make contact with the rest of the system and get off the planet.”
“When they do get space born, they return to Earth, which is gripped in a war. Certain species are demanding they be allowed to take the most advance space ships out of the system because Sol can not support them,” the ex-employee continued. “There is also mass panic because the relay transport system has been destroyed, and Sol’s remaining resources are going to run out in less than a year.”
“Shepard has been found on Earth, but he is badly injured and in a coma. He was burned badly during atmospheric re-entry, and certain synthetic components of his brain were shut down. Chakwas is certain that if he ever awakens, it will be in a vegetative state. At this point, it is suggested that Shepard’s broken synthetic parts could be replaced with new ones.”
“The party then splits up, and you (the player) go to three different planets or areas to find synthetic components that may be able to help him. It is revealed that one of the valid components can be extracted from EDI. Joker allows them to do so. Though still badly wounded after the synthetic pieces are installed, Shepard finally awakens. He makes a speech at the Spacescraper (a piece of the Citadel that crash landed on Earth along with Shepard, now used as a center of operations) that ends the Sol War.”
“After that, you get a unique cut scene based on who you did or did not romance in Mass Effect 3. This is not addressed in the Terminator DLC, but from the moment Shepard comes out of the coma, he is the Catalyst. Shepard permanently died during atmospheric re-entry. The characters and the player are not aware that it is not the real Shepard, and this will not be revealed until Mass Shift, the spiritual successor to the Mass Effect series.”
Mass Shift Information
“Mass Shift is not Mass Effect 4. Mass Shift will involve the same universe, characters, and story, but it will be more action-oriented,” wrote the ex-employee. “Space flight, for example, will be as intricate as Mass Effect 3′s combat. In Mass Shift, you will actively fly Murmur, a Reaper that is controlled by the Catalyst.”
BioWare has not come up with how this will work yet, but they were comparing flight to Gradius 3 and Kingdom Hearts 2.
“Xy was actually going to be a DLC character for Mass Effect 2, but he was axed in favor of Kasumi, who was modeled after the sister of a staff member who kept baking the entire staff cookies. They are introducing him in Mass Shift instead. BioWare has been meaning to introduce a main character suicide plot for some time now. Though the details for Mass Shift revolves around the Catalyst who seeks to prevent the galaxy from advancing synthetics.”
“This pits the Catalyst against the entire galaxy, which is forgetting about the threat synthetics pose. Throughout the game, the Catalyst will endure inner turmoil caused by his ‘other side’ (EDI), who carries the belief that synthetics and organics can peacefully co-exist. Mass shift will have more tactical combat, but with less cover (other minor things have changed such as Mass Shift’s primary antagonist does not wear a typical Volus suit, which means you will see most of his body) . Mass Shift takes place about one millennium after Mass Effect 3″

This sounds lame as fuck
anybody else catching the fact that this is from 4CHAN!?!?!? most likely a troll, not 100% sure, but still most likely a troll
it wont be the same unless ur playing as the real sheppard
The information given actually sounds partially true but not to able able to play as the real shepard that we all like and love won’t be as fun and might take away the feeling from the Mass Effect series but the DLC part is what really caught my eye.
this is more fu**** than the ending,for exemple EDI gives synthetic components and joker allow her,WTF didnt joker crash with the crew on an other planet???
This can’t be true
It just can’t. I’m done with mass effect 
Damn. My favorite game company. And they just fucked it all up…
I don’t buy it, has to be total rumor. I know, the ending had a small seen where shepard takes a gasping breath. Bioware had stated that this would be the last Shepard centered game, but they also said ME3 had 16 different endings, so its hard to take anything they say as truth at this point. I think the rumored leaked DLC for online is more believeable then this lil bit of info. If this stuff does turn out to be true then I’m with just about everyone else I’ve talked too, after the massive let down of DA2 (which was more an expansion pack then a new game) and now the lack lusher ending of ME3 and the lies about player decisions shaping the game, Bioware has lost any future dollars I would have spent on DLC, games, and preorders. Edios I guess ends up the winner, yay Assassins Creed III
not really, some ppl dont know how the ending works… and blaming bioware for no reason at all.
ill explain,
Well everything is fake.. the child u see on earth in the shaft. is not real. Shaperd see that child in his imagination(otherwise known Dreaming).. Thats why he has those NIGHTMARES. so the ending concluction is : when you see the 3 sec breath of shaperd. it means he has woken up to reality and thats the end.. they never bring a mass effect 4 with shaperd to start a new chapter, because you killed the collectors and the reapers so it would not make any sense to bring out a new mass effect 4
Indoctrinated = being controlled that means its all fake, that why u see the 3 second breathing on the ending
he just woke up by killing the reapers trough the prothean device, so it broke shaperd indoctrination. Even the illusive man was indoctrinated by the reapers(they controlled him and not visa versa 
So To all you Haters.. go srsly look at your self, the ending was good… Not need to blame Bioware. They made a Epic and awesome game no doubt about that;). And the ending of ME3, it can also be a open ending what happens to shaperd how will he live and with who the gonna start a relation etc just use your imagination
Mass effect 3 = excising thrilling and epic storyline with also great romance scenes
Especially female Shaperd and Specialst Traynor 
.
Peace
The fact that you have to explain that should tell you that it was a bad ending. Despite the fact that you just contradicted what bioware said about the ending.
If this is true I’ll never buy an EA game again.
As an avid fan of Bioware’s older games; Kotor, Mass Effect 1 and to a lesser extent Dragon age, I completely believe this. The quality degradation has been obvious and painful. Mass Effect 3 wasn’t just bad for the endings, the game seemed incomplete. Indeed it was released far too close the the 2nd game to be properly developed as a full sequel. A damn shame this is. Yet another gaming company of my childhood has been killed by EA
excualy it was not a qoute to you james but trough MasterAki996 soz for that

bullshit
LOLOLOLOL, and my shoes made of gold. Please seriously, that story can’t event make any sense. But what ever i will not touch any rumors before it release for real. Will waiting patiently for the real ending.
Hopefully bullshit. If true, they aren’t getting my money.
I hope it isn’t true, because it sucks. I wouldn’t buy that. Just really stupid!
loooooool murmur the reaper XD
plus the ex employee stated that “mass shift” WOULD include the same universe and characters yet a millenium after the events would mean even liara would be dead so looooool FAIL XD

show some proof not just words
I just wanted to say this is fake. Mass Effect 3 development ended on March 5th 2013. There was no Terminator DLC and there was no post-ending DLC after the Extended Cut. Just like the fake Patrick Weekes comment, this is just another disgruntled fan venting their frustrations. The Weekes comment was fake, because of how it was written the "missing cutscenes" he spoke of were actually already in the game. Not to mention, Patrick is a professional writer and the guy who wrote that didn't sound very professional or mature. Same goes with this. Just another disgruntled "fan" venting about how EA, the "money grubbing" company screwed over his favorite game. Gotta blame someone so they blame the big bad publisher. It's never the developers problem. I'm kind of tired of all these gamers picking on EA. If they don't like EA's stuff, just stop buying their games. Vote with their wallets quietly like any other consumer instead of organizing petitions or mass boycotts.
