How do you follow an act like the galaxy's most high-stakes game of three-card monte? Apparently by completely starting over. BioWare has long insisted that Mass Effect 3 marked the definitive end of Commander Shepard's story arc, regardless of whether you picked the green pill, the red pill, or the blue pill.
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?
I know people generally don't like prequels but i think it would be cool if the next game showed the first contact war when humanity first fought the turians.
Real space exploration, not just a point and click galaxy map, I don't want to be human either
I hope Martin Sheen is back aswel, he's a great voice actor, he's one of the reasons I like the ME games so much
The main issue I have with Mass Effect 3 was the ending. No matter what options were given to affect our character I believe the ending threw all that away and nothing mattered, which was the reason why so many people were mad at the ending. If they do plan to keep the game in the Mass Effect universe I don't think any prequels will work because there is too much lore that is already considered canon. It would be difficult for all the cartoons, books, short videos to be honored and it would risk destroying the fabric of the universe that has been created. You can only go forward. In addition if they decide to give you similar choices in the next Mass Effect game they need to avoid giving a choice at the end. The choices you make need to lead to that end, but not a final choice that essentially appears to undo everything. Also, a cameo appearance by Sheppard in recordings if hundreds of years in the future or make her a General or Admiral so your character can be advised going into the next generation. You would do this for continuity. Both Star Wars and Star Trek have been successful with this tactic because it gives you more of the universe to love and how it relates to what you already know. Other than Sheppard's ship every race flew on there own ships and sort of worked together as allies. Only at the Citadel did they really come together. What if they acted more like in Star Trek where every race in theory serves in a Starfleet like organization? Finally, with the current menace out of the way you could have a race from outside the galaxy be the new enemy. They never bothered you before because of the Collectors.
I want a sequel with Shepard back after the destroy ending which I consider to be canon.
An ending thats not rubbish
