It has been confirmed that Shepard is officially nothing to do with Mass Effect 4 and the game isn't set in the Shepard timeline, when is it set then?

Good, wouldn't want them to ruin anything else related to the Shepard story (this is coming from a huge Mass Effect fan).

AllPurposeBlogger3845d ago

Tell me about it! I'd love for them to do something set waaaay before Shepard, like the First Contact War or something

SaekoB3836d ago

I completely agree, first contact war would be very interesting, I wouldn't want to go even more into the future so that it turns into god damn star wars shooting blue or red^^

NYC_Gamer3845d ago

I would like to see how my final decisions changed the whole universe

MWong3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

I'm with you. For the next ME, I want to see how all your decisions from ME 1-3 helped/ruined the universe. And I want to see real consequences.

vakarian753845d ago

I doubt that's going to happen since they said “Well, I can’t get into details, but the idea is that we have agreed to tell a story that doesn’t relate necessarily to any of the Shepard events at all, whatsoever.”

Ryto3845d ago

If i recall correctly there were quite a few big wars in the ME back story. Could be based around the krogans. Hopefully its something completely new.

I agree with you though, definitely leave that story arc alone now.

ForgivenZombie3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

I would like to see the game set after ME3, with a new threat/enemy and new races discovered and some of the old characters in higher positions within their cultures and a new citadel type center & possibly a Shepard clone. maybe even a story about the struggle to rebuild everything that was lost.

Who3845d ago (Edited 3845d ago )

Yes!

I would much prefer this scenario than a prequel.
Although, I like the idea of returning characters, I want Shepard to rest in peace - give us a new hero. I think it'd be a great idea to see a game where we 're-build' the ME universe while fighting off these new threats.

otherZinc3845d ago

Confirmed:
I'll save $60 on ME4.

3-4-53845d ago

If I were them I would make Mass Effect 4 & 5 at the same time.

Like the PS2 era were sequels would be release 6-12 months later and not 3-4 years later.

I just want more Mass Effect. And I'm ready for a new story line as well.

Haules3845d ago

Imo Mass Effect2/3 were one of the most overhyped overrated games ever...

The original one was so much better.

SaekoB3836d ago (Edited 3836d ago )

Mass Effect 2 is to many the most amazing and awe-inspiring RPG ever made, I am one of those^^

raresteak3845d ago

Prequel = mistake. So please don't do that.

CODallday3845d ago

The exploration of 1,the story and setting of 2,and the shooting mechanics of 3 would make the perfect mass effect imo.

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.

phoenixwing375d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken375d ago (Edited 375d 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_looken375d ago

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

GhostScholar375d ago (Edited 375d 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?

porkChop375d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183375d 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_drake375d 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
