Mass Effect 4: BioWare Can’t Wait to Get the Series Back

BioWare studio director, Yanick Roy, has recently apologized for the lack of information on the next Mass Effect and game master, Aaryn Flynn, ensured that BioWare can’t wait to bring back the Mass Effect universe.

DC7773695d ago

Don't worry, EA will make sure you bring it back quicker than you wanted to and only 3/4 complete at that.

Yui_Suzumiya3695d ago

I think they'll have more time this time around after the ME3 ending debacle. Think positive! Just like with all this extra time given for DA3.

cleft53695d ago

I think so too. I think these debacles have been enough to convince the necessary people at EA that it is more important for a game to be of the highest quality when it releases even if it takes longer. That way they can milk a great deal more cash out of it after release. All things consider, EA should have made a lot more money off of ME3 and especially DA2. But instead the games got rushed and stuff was overlooked leading to gamers having very harsh feelings for those two games despite them being fairly solid even if they where rushed.

I am really looking forward to seeing how DA3 turns out. With The Witcher 3 getting pushed back to February 2015 the door is wide open for Bioware to dominate with DA3 provided it has all of the polish and story design we all expect.

Matt6663695d ago

I don't see why the original ending of ME3, was criticized so much, there was no proof that shepherd was alive when that man was telling his story, he could of told his story many years after all the events of ME happened

starchild3694d ago

I can't wait to find out more about Mass Effect 4. The first three games are some of my favourite games of all time.

Also, now that The Witcher 3 has been delayed Dragon Age Inquisition is my most anticipated game this year.

joydestroy3695d ago

it's BioWare... they won't disappoint. i still play the MP portion on PC like it's crack and i need a daily fix. i've put over 500hrs into that game...

Senyra3695d ago

They're quite focused on Dragon Age Inquisition right now. It'll be released at Fall 2014. Maybe that's why thinss with Mass Effect are going slowly. Just a wild guess 8besides the quality focus stated here).

CorndogBurglar3695d ago

Yeah man, I really hope they bring that multiplayer back.

When ME3 came out, I was afraid the multiplayer was just going to be some tacked on nonsense, but then it turned out to be one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've had in a long time. I was seriously surprised by it!

ajax173695d ago

I pray that you're wrong. The whole EA thing is definitely a double-edged sword. On the one hand PlayStation people finally got to play the Mass Effect series, on the other hand it's friggin' EA.

DeadlyFire3695d ago

Well they could have it 5/4ths complete and take that 1/4th that was good out for a bad ending that should have never existed.

DC7773695d ago

Well just kidding around (hopefully) and looking forward to another awesome installment some day.

They don't have to feel sorry. Just make sure the game is kick a$$. And bring something substantial to E3.

RE_L_MAYER3695d ago

cant wait for mass effect 3 completely redone with good ending

Dfooster3695d ago

The extended ending was perfectly fine. It completely made sense to me anyway.

zeal0us3695d ago

Sadly that's not going to happen. Its one of those situations where you will have to deal with it and move on.

Saithraphim3695d ago

I cannot wait to see the first pieces of information on this game, even info on the story would make my day.

Senyra3695d ago

Agreed, right now we only know Shepard won't come back and that exploration and multiplayer will become huge features. I wish i knew what the plot will be about.

CorndogBurglar3695d ago

I can't wait to get back into Mass Effect!!! One of my favorite franchises, even though the ending wasn't that great, it still doesn't negate the fact that all three games were fantastic.

DeadlyFire3695d ago

All was well until that last 10-15 minutes or so. Still overall a great game. I admit they did remove some features like flushing toilets on the ship in ME3 though. I feel like they rushed the last bit of development. Hopefully they have it all sorted out this time. Although looking at Battlefield I see it could happen twice.

ME4 though will be amazing. Just a few snippets of DA3 gameplay showcase the graphics potential of Frostbite 3. I expect by 2015 we could see massive improvements to the engine on the current platforms. I expect ME4 teaser at E3.

CorndogBurglar3695d ago

Yep. I can't disagree with anything you said.

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.

phoenixwing372d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken372d ago (Edited 372d 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_looken372d ago

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

GhostScholar372d ago (Edited 372d 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?

porkChop372d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183372d 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_drake372d 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.
