Mass Effect 4 Isn't Called Mass Effect: Origins

BioWare hasn't announced the official title for Mass Effect 4 yet. However, they were quick to shoot down another rumored name for the game.

crxss3607d ago

good. nobody wants a prequel bioware

BlakHavoc3607d ago

Origin doesn't necessarily mean prequel! Why does nobody understand this?...

crxss3607d ago

lmao define "origin" please

BlakHavoc3607d ago

@crxss it means beginning, birth, emergence, Genesis. So basically it could have meant birth of a new civilization after the events of ME3. Anything else you need to be educated on?

crxss3607d ago

Mass Effect 4: Beginning (not a prequel) hahaha stop making me laugh so hard.

ravinash3607d ago

It could mean a new beginning after the events on ME3.
It could also mean a new threat from the past, maybe pre reapers.

So I guess its "Mass Effect: Legends" then...

LAWSON723607d ago

Good lets keep Origins out of game names

ravinash3607d ago

If they have alredy used Origins in their dragon age game, it sounds a bit odd to use the same name in a different IP.

kreate3607d ago

wouldn't mass effect 4 just be called mass effect 4?

Naga3607d ago

That would imply a direct sequel, which it all but certainly is not.

mr-phillips3607d ago

Mass effect 4, The Division and Halo 5 nothing else matters

LAWSON723607d ago (Edited 3607d ago )

These games dont matter?

Witcher 3
Destiny
Evolve
Dragon Age Inquisition
And these are just the big multiplats that are annualized

You know games that are not a year+ away lol.

mr-phillips3607d ago

Never really got into any of the sequels you mentioned. Need more on Destiny and Evolve to be invested, what I mentioned are what I'm most anticipating.

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.

phoenixwing373d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken373d ago (Edited 373d 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_looken373d ago

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?

porkChop373d 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
