Here’s a Look at the New Mass Effect

OmniGamer Writes "We know that Bioware is working on a new Mass Effect game, and it looks like they are in the very early stages of developing it. Bioware Montréal head, Yanick Roy has released a picture on twitter showing the design document of the game."

Saints943954d ago

I really don't want it to be a prequel. They need to fix the damage they have done with ME3.

Unicron3954d ago

Yeah, I'm sick of prequels. Just do a new part of the universe, or even leave the galaxy!

thorstein3954d ago

Exactly. When they solicited ideas, I said, same universe, different story line. It doesn't have to be a "save all of humanity (and alienity?)" ideas. Just a great storyline with great characters.

Ogygian3954d ago

Completely agree. Why play a prequel to a galaxy we know gets completely ruined after 3?

It might be ok to do what Dragon Age 2 did, having us experience events during the previous game(s) and then setting the rest of it afterwards, but failing to explain what happened after the end of three would be insulting to fans of the series.

BattleTorn3954d ago (Edited 3954d ago )

I think they'd be better off jumping 50,000years ahead into the next cycle.

Arksine3954d ago

In other words, don't make the same mistake Star Ocean did.

PerryCaravello3954d ago

Nobody spoil anything, I haven't played any of the games yet.

Full disclosure, I don't give a fuck lol.

LAWSON723954d ago (Edited 3954d ago )

Well it is kind of predictable after playing the first game when it comes to what will happen in the end for the most part, like the Harry Potter series.

djthechamp243954d ago

Hope they build the game from the ground up

Foxgod3954d ago

Looking forward to a next gen Mass effect :)

MizTv3954d ago

I keep thing how much better it will be on frostbite3
I was so sick of all games looking the same because of unreal engine3

Blankolf3954d ago (Edited 3954d ago )

Well I've already posted this hours ago...

http://n4g.com/news/1285050...

How do I report?

Blankolf3954d ago

I posted the actual source of your story 2 hours before, so you say "Tag it better next time" I say "Duplicate Story" on your post.

DOMination-3954d ago

The n4g system is a bit flawed because people see the newest submitted articles first and it should be the other way around.

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.

phoenixwing365d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken365d ago (Edited 365d 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_looken365d ago

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

GhostScholar365d ago (Edited 365d 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?

porkChop365d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183365d 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_drake365d 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

To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
