"Mass Effect 4," or whatever name its developers would call it, had been making fantastic ripples in the gaming community. Amazingly, it had been doing it with literally no effort. It was the hardcore fans that had been shelling their ideas on what they want to see on the upcoming game that became highly anticipated due to its secrecy.
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.
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."

To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
gamers want a prequel ?, are they re#$%%artded or something ? is hard to believe gamers want that.
We want new characters
New storylines
New gameplay
New bad ass enemys
Why is so damn hard to do that ?, I mean aren't they getting paid to be working on new ideas? and creating new experiences? damn this uncreative devs!
Prequel....urmmmm no we don't, especially for a main title
We know what has happened in the past, it would be boring playing something we know the outcome to.
Don't listen to them Bioware they're trolling hard. A prequel would be useless for ME.
ME is a game that's known for its gameplay features. Gameplay features that can always be enhanced, tweaked, customized it can always be better with each installment, on Biowares end.
Doing a prequel will detract away from the gameplay. Instead of making it better. Giving us the same stuff over and over. And that goes with most prequels in a series.
Like I said Bioware smartly tailor the gameplay to where they can build up on it with each sequel changing and enhancing gameplay features.
Its smart how they built the gameplay mechanics from the first one. Though ME2 was a backtrack from 1, 3 blended 1 and 2's mechanics making it much better.
Perfect example of the flexible gameplay mechanics Bioware created in Mass Effect series. They can simply change and enhance them
In a world where your character fights get better equipment gets better, guns get better, powers just get stronger and smarter period it only makes sense from a gameplay point of view to not do a prequel.
In terms of worlds we'll just be on planet earth or whatever your character is from.
Training, and more training using the same guns, abilities armor that we have before.
Nothing new.
BORING.
Whole lot of Nope, I prefer to see more future events in the universe of ME. We already know enough of past events. I read almost every codex entry in ME.
The people who want a prequel, are the same who want more FF XIII sequels.
