There won't be a Mass Effect 4 ever.

showtimefolks4280d ago

i don't know i think you are right no ME4 but more Me games for sure prequels or sequels

ME IP is just too important to let it die out. also hopefully newer games will be on ps4,xbox720 just so they can push the tech more

da_2pacalypse4280d ago

ANY IP that EA owns is considered dead in my eyes. Whether they've already ruined it, or the last iteration was awesome... the series is bound to have all of it's features streamlined to the point where the game feels nothing like the original title(s). They literally expect every single IP to sell cod numbers.

They'll make an ME4 alright... but it won't be necessary or needed. They'll do it, market the crap out of it, rush the product, and expect it to sell millions.

Pathetic!

thats_just_prime4280d ago

I want them to make it more of a rpg like the 1st one and less like the crappier 2&3 shooters.

With ME that got a lot to work with to make more games as far as story. They could do a whole new cast and set it 100's before or after ME3

rufusman914279d ago

The endings are just too different and a prequel just woudnt feel right becuase you know how everything would end up anyway and the best part of mass effect is surprises.

b_one4280d ago

im lucky enough that i just ended ME2, as for EA - heavy milkers - so there will be something involving this universe for sure, other case, there are some games that sequels are must own (spec ops the line)

Lilioups4279d ago

sry buddy but bioware already told there will be more mass effects games.

so captain obvious...nice try keep trying tho

rufusman914279d ago

Yes and do you have a article, tweet, or Facebook post officaily made by Bioware confirming this? I'd sure like to see it.

AngelicIceDiamond4280d ago

Knowing Bioware, They'll probably announce ME 4 next year. They have a thing for announcing the game a year after its predecessor. Maybe ME4 at E3 2013?

WeskerChildReborned4280d ago

Isn't ME3 suppose to be the last one? or are they gonna do a sequel with Shep dead.

aliengmr4280d ago

Yes it was the last one. They "might" do a prequel or something but I doubt it.

AngelicIceDiamond4280d ago

Apparently, Bioware didn't say "no more ME" but then again they didn't hint at another ME installment. Despite ME's ending and questionable multiplayer, the game got resounding success. I wouldn't be surprised if they announce an ME 4 to be honest.

DarkBlood4279d ago

in theory it could work but that requires alot of work and huge file size to account for all endings

which though seems possible, its very unlikely because the idea im thinking of literally makes a bunch of games in one

iXenon4280d ago

Mass Effect 3 was announced the same year Mass Effect 2 came out.

CaptainN4280d ago

A real ending !!! LOL that was to easy :p

Godmars2904280d ago

Something that's planned out better over multiple games would be.

MadLad4280d ago (Edited 4280d ago )

I don't care much for the series anymore.

The series is moving further and further away from its roleplaying roots.

They are starting to integrate multiplayer into the mix.

They are pandering to idiots in terms of story and writing. I don't think they can do much more in terms of the oversexualization seen in the games at this point. They might as well integrate a "fuck" option right in the dialogue options. Almost every female character has been turned into a barbie doll, gratuitous ass shot required. Really, who here remembers the Kelly Chambers scene from Mass Effect 2? That was just pathetic.

Mass Effect 4 and The Challenges of Canonicity in Choice-Based Games

Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."

wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.

The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?

Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.

Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.

On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.

So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?

Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.

My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.

phoenixwing367d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

They should redo the dragon age trilogy for sure on pc DA1 the ui is messed up sense it was for 4080p/720i days back in 2005. Getting to run is also very hard

The only way to play dragon age one is via xbox one backwards compatable state.

The ps3 version of dragon age one is pre throphy/ in game xmb so it has the freezing/crashing issues or just will not run.

just_looken367d ago

Well i am not American so please enlighten me on usa education before your country invades mine and forces us into your society

GhostScholar367d ago (Edited 367d ago )

@ just_looken

Did I mention education? Never said America did have negative points. I know for all you “enlightened” people you think everything is either all good or all bad, but in reality that’s not how life works. We have a government that traded a known terrorist for a basketball player who moonlights as a drug dealer. We aren’t perfect by a long shot. If you want to go political though how about your leader leaving his own country when the truck driver strike happened?

porkChop367d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183366d ago

Yea I read that and was like I've heard way more people talk mass effect compared to dragon age. Personally I'm more into mass effect. It's got the whole dope ass sci fi thing going on while dragon age has the same old medieval thing

gold_drake367d ago

andromeda is a spin off tjo and not considerd a numvered title. as it has to 99% nothing to do with the trilogy.

i think they need to make the destroy perfect ending canon.
we need more of shepard. haha.

Mass Effect 4 Can Explore Post-Apocalyptic Themes

Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 will likely treat Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending as canon, and this gives it an opportunity to explore a post-apocalyptic galaxy."

Destroy is the best choice. Bring the relays back over the course of a new trilogy, maybe right at the end of the first game. Say it was Cerberus, Salarians or a bunch of keepers that created a relay.

Tons of opportunities since most anyone who made it special is long gone
