With the final piece of Mass Effect 3 DLC being released this week, Matt of Gaming Irresponsibly looks ahead and shares some of his ideas and hopes for what the next game in the franchise could be like.
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.
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.
Well i am not American so please enlighten me on usa education before your country invades mine and forces us into your society
@ 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?
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
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.
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.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 has plenty of opportunities to change a lot about the franchise, particularly in the protagonist players can create."
“Mass Effect 4 Needs to Make One Major Change with the Protagonist“
To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
Whoa. First ever top ten list I wholly agree with.
Though honestly, given the failure ME actually is after and even during the first game, I can't imagine Bioware doing anything good with ME4. Especially with the studio's creators gone. Its just Hudson and EA calling the shots.
Edit:
Would like to point, for the nothing its worth, that the conversation you have during ME2 with the Asari who's ran immoral if not illegal experiments or whatever on human colonist could have been a whole game and adventure on its own.
1.No more cutting content and trying to sell it as DLC
2.Introduce more weapons and class like in ME3MP for FREE in the SP mode
3.If ME4 is the start of a new trilogy FFS don't let all my hard work be in vain when coming to end of the trilogy
4.Make the DLC worth it and not some small scale random dlc that really don't add to the SP.
5.If MP is added keep it similar to ME3MP system, free map packs, character packs. Keep the microtransaction system the same, MP only. Whats in the packs should stay random.
6. Add some PvP/Co-op missions to the MP. Shooting at enemies for 10+ rounds is fun but after a while it gets boring.
7. Don't make it more shooter centric. Keep the RPG and TPS element balance.
8. Don't make the character look like Tony Parker
9. Add more humor moments
10. Allow me to explore more worlds and different races.
Make a sci-fi shooter/rpg ...oh wait, they did and it was awesome and then they ditched it. Really, though, with Gears, Halo, And God of War doing prequels, there are a million stories that could be done in this time alone. You could also go to a previous impending invasion that brought us the protheans. All i know is that the where ME doesnt get enough credit is in their different classes, abilities, and enemies. The multiplayer was actually quite brilliant. Now, i am not saying to do a mmo but this universe does lend itself perfectly to creating ur own character and story and becoming a hero. Maybe something like origins, in which u are the hero but u can be whatever race or class u like. U recruit players like before but it is a true rpg and i am sure they can figure out the story. Though, this is why the ending was so bad. They could have set themselves up for future games but instead they closed themselves off. Very strange.
