Hackett, EDI confirmed for Mass Effect 3 'Extended Cut' DLC

I don't know if anyone knows about this but here it is. There is a short 47 second video interview with Hendriksen too.

I love the PR spin they used in explaining to him why the additional work.

Let's not get too carried away here. Might just be a dry tone of speaking.

This, they probably told all the voice actors that it was whiny basement geeks who didnt get their space waifu/husbando who wanted a new ending.

Wait, did he say "When the player loses the game"? Thats...actually very precice. Thats exactly what happens. The problem is, it is depicted like we won. Its basicly a very pretty "GAME OVER, YOU LOSE" screen with selectable color theme. And no continues.

EDIT: typos

**LOSE Perhaps that was an accidental slip up on his part, indicating control/synthesis were the losing options and the renegade choice is the only winning option and had planned to be from the beginning. OR maybe it's just, as you said, an accurate description.

Somhow.. the more I see, the more I get the impression the EC will make things worse...and I have a bad feeling about the stuff they'll add..

Getting that feel too, one BSN member called Taboo I think has been dissecting the PR statements and he seems to think that the only way this is going to turn out is a disaster. He thinks the EC may make things worse, I dont know how and he wont divulge it either but I dont like where this is going.

I don't know why but I still have the feeling BiowEAr doesn't take their fans serious and I allways have this bad feeling they still make fun of us... I can't really tell why .. but probably I'm still to dissapointed of them to see anything good.

really that bit about 'losing' the game, makes me unsure.....why would he say that. why would he need to do more lines for players who lose the game? what it sounds like is that one of the 'choices' is infact wrong.

that's what i think mate, though it could be poor articulation on henriksens part.

i've got it....Henriksen is the person that say GAME OVER after you pick a colour. 'You failed to stop the reapers commander, why did you listen to the starchild'.....*Saren's tune*

He's really just a voice actor, though, I caution you guys not to see shadows everywhere. He may have just been confused or it was a slip of the tongue. Take it into account, but I'm not sure it warrants even as much discussion as it's gotten.

I'm hopeing that the next bit of information that comes out is a release date. They have to be close to giving us one. June isn't that far off which is when summer officialy begings.

Dont count on a release date too much. Voice acting means they are finished with the script. Animations and programming are still ahead, and hopefully some modelling too. And after that, testing. Wouldnt want them to realease it with bugs or inconsistencies.

@Rmig91 Thanks for bringing this to HTL!

No problem. I figured some people on here would want to know about this.

O..k..... so a little confused here, I lost?... we all lost?... then how do we win? lol
They're going to clarify to us how we lost?.. ok, that one I might need explaining!

Don't worry, they will probably have another DLC for that.

I actually think he just doesn't know the context within which these lines are said.

Voice acting for videogames is often very hard to non-gamers; even if you're shown the actual scene you're dubbing, even if you get the full walkthrough through a plot and the character and its motivations, you will STILL lack context. You'll lack context from the prequels, you'll lack context from the gameplay, you'll lack context from the codec and from scenes other actors did.

Basically what I'm trying to say is - if Henriksen was told that players needed context, and then had to record text for, I dunno, Shepard's memorial, and he had no speaking parts in the previous endings therefore no context, then he'd go "Ah, a funeral, this is for players who lost", when in fact it is for players who chose Synthesis or Control.
