For the author a sequel seems the optimal option for Mass Effect 4 as it will not only attend to players’ demands, as it will give continuity to a fantastic world, full of exhilarating content and never-ending surprises.
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?
That was some read and it would blow some expectations if it is indeed a sequel.
What I would like to see. Starts out a prequel and ends up a sequel. It could be used to "fix" the ME3 ending.
It would be like a Star Trek Voyager where a ship gets stuck in another Galaxy with no way to return home.
Takes place during the period Shepard was stuck on Earth before ME3. The council selects an elite group of soldiers from all the main races in council space. Turian, Quarian, Krogan, Salerian, Asari, Volus and Human. It would be like the multiplayer where you select a race and they become this new shepard.
They are on a mission to get information on the Reapers from the Omega Relay. All the upgrades from the Normandy have been shared with the council to create the ship. Something happens and they are sent to another Galaxy.
If it is a new trilogy I would set it like
4. New Galaxy and prevent a war or stop a war.
5. Build upgrades to get back home and possible
6. The choice of ME3 ending where something has gone wrong and have to put it right.
With a prequel there will narrative constraints and a lot rehashing, with a sequel they can go crazy. I hope the next game is not about saving the galaxy but is on a much smaller scale.
Let's be honest "Current" Bioware has no problem winging it when it comes to narrative. If the ending to ME3 proves anything its that they have no problem slapping together a bunch of contrivances when they can't think of anything.
So, really they could do anything they want. Whether it makes any sense is another issue.
I would like to see the next Mass Effect game get back to more exploration elements, like what was presented in the first game of the series. I enjoyed ME1, 2, and 3, but with ME4 I want to explore the Milky Way galaxy, discovering new races/species of beings, and kicking their a!# if they get out of line. Or perhaps an intergalactic war between beings in our closest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy. I really hope it's not a prequel. I want all new characters in all new circumstances. The characters from this trilogy were great, but it's time to move on from Shepard's crew and friends and give us the proper beginning to a new ME trilogy.
