This news may come as shocking to some, but Mass Effect 4 might actually still be in early development. The Bioware Montreal director, Yanick Roy, says they haven't even settled on a name yet.
It's balancing old and new, then, and embracing a sort of breezy retro simplicity. Pleasing as that is, though, it so far feels a little shallow by comparison to other genre heavy-hitters. Despite moving to an open world and offering sumptuous presentation, Visions of Mana clings to the past and lacks truly fresh ideas of its own. It's a welcome return and a fun, bubbly, frivolous experience, but the Mana series looks set to remain in the shadow of Square Enix's premiere franchises for now.
Hopes are high as Open Roads allows us to take in a Game Pass, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC road trip.
Review - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky should be seen as an expansion rather than a full prequel, but it is one that fans will enjoy nonetheless.
I wonder if it will involve the Reapers? I mean if it is a prequel, then the Reapers will still be in dark space waiting for the next cycle, right?
If it is set during the first contact war, then you won't have a variety of races to choose from really. I presume you'd only have humans, and maybe Turians.
Nah, I think it's best to just set the game after the events of ME3. It doesn't have to follow any of the same characters from the previous games, but could just pick up one of the many side stories and characters, and tell their story going forward, and whatever new threat is posed to the galaxy.
"Are you disappointed to hear that Mass Effect 4(working title), is not as far along as many were hoping? Leave your comments below."
The only thing I'll be disappointed with if this is a PREQUEL, Bioware.
Because they haven't decided on a name? It could be done completely and still undecided on the final name, the name has 0 to do with development. I would be worried if they hadn't decided on the engine : )
ME3 came out march 2012,
So about three to four months before you ship, the designers sit down and think, what can we do for the next one. That happened then [with Killzone 3 to Shadow Fall] as well. So, about three years ago we went into that phase.
This is the Quote from Guerrilla Games.
My point is the ME3 designers have been thinking about next ME since November 2011 and now its May 2014. I am fully expecting ME4 or whatever they call it by MID-LATe 2015
I feel awful. I bought all three games about a year ago and I barely got through the intro of the first one. I wish I would've finished them -_- I have a lot of games I've bought and never finished. Having to work and having a family takes a lot of time. And then deciding what to play when you do have some time usually ends up being what you already know and like. So it becomes hard for me to get into anything new anymore.
