Mass Effect 4: The Direction That Bioware Needs To Take

GB: "Bioware has a lot to learn yet and simply put, they only need look around a bit. One of the most important reasons for the success of the Mass Effect series was its characters, a number of which had been with Shepard through thick and thin and it'll be justice undone if Bioware deprives Mass Effect followers of embarking on a new journey minus all the characters they have always come to associate with the series."

Bringing back planet exploration will be a step in the right direction making all the planets you explore completely different and unique.Make it more a RPG like ME1 combined with ME3 combat I will be a happy gamer.

MrPerfect8133757d ago

Would love ME1 exploration, with ME2 conversations and ME3 combat. Also would like to be able to explore and complete missions after main story is over like ME2....

Scale down from galaxy-sized threats. Focus on one sector or a group of systems.

aliengmr3757d ago

1. Get a good writing team.

2. If trilogy, write the entire thing before the first game is released.

3. Keep said writing staff until the final game is finished.

4. don't try to be edgy with source material that is anything but. Keep it simple to avoid plot holes.

Everything else is secondary. Story is the most important thing with ME and as long as the gameplay fits, its job will be done.

Godmars2903757d ago

The problem with that is that you'd have to script the plot and design game mechanics the for all three games before actually producing them.

Besides, as I've always pointed out, this is the same team which did the shuttle /Normandy attacked scenes in ME2.

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 main trilogy

just_looken374d ago (Edited 374d 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.

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

GhostScholar373d ago (Edited 373d 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?

porkChop374d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183373d 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_drake373d 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
