Kicking off with a rather odd piece of news, EA decides to launch their next title Mass Effect 3 into space, yeah we’re serious. While the copies are being sent all around the world using weather balloons, each game will be equipped with a GPS tracking code for you to find, happy hunting! Our cast even jumps on Double Fine’s kickstarter. Asking to pledge a goal of $400,000 in order to make an adventure game that fans would have complete creative control of. Instead the company has reached over $1,929,705 with 57,116 backers in only a matter of days. Josh even pledged that if this game flops, he will eat his pants live on-air!
Our hot topic continues with Double Fine and crowd sourcing. After Double Fines outstanding successes, more developers have jumped on the bandwagon. While this will help fans obtain more control on the outlook of a game, we come to the conclusion that crowd sourcing is possibly just a trend. Hoping that we’re wrong, we would love to hear your thoughts on it by using the comments down below!
