New Mass Effect is "coming together", looks "beautiful, fun, ambitious, and Mass Effect-y"

OXM UK: "BioWare's really, really happy with its latest Mass Effect game, which is said to be "beautiful", "fun", "ambitious" and sort of reminiscent of a Mass Effect game. The space-faring franchise's executive producer Casey Hudson and producer Mike Gamble have been trading thumbs-ups on Twitter, much to the hysteria of their followers."

Honestly they can do whatever, it's probably impossible for it to be worse than the ending of ME3 lol.

I'm down to play as a new character and experience more of the lore that didn't get touched upon in the original trilogy. Honestly wouldn't mind if they brought back the co-op multiplayer mode as well, honestly. Dunno why I said honestly twice, either.

crxss4030d ago

i swear if it takes place in the past........ i haven't actually thought what i'm going to do but i'll be upset

Raf1k14030d ago

I'd like a stealth game with lots of RPG elements playing as Thane in an open world (galaxy in this case).

I hope it turns out to be really good regardless but I don't see them setting it after the events of ME3 though that would be interesting.

Dfooster4030d ago

Oh shut up about the ending to mass effect 3, it's getting old really fast. This particular bandwagon needs to crash and burn.

NarooN4030d ago

I'm pretty sure it got old a long time ago. I was pissed like most people were, but you know how I got over it? By uninstalling the game and moving on.

Not really any "bandwagon" since at least the nerdrage was justified at the time. I don't see how me passively mentioning it is such a big deal, y u mad?

TheTwelve4030d ago

The ending sucked and quite honestly the game didn't match the time and care of ME2 either.

KazHiraiFTW4030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

Every time I read a negative post about the ending of ME3 it honestly hurts, my heart seriously feels heavy and I almost feel like giving up as a gamer completely.

The writers at Bioware did a fantastic job at ending the series with the fact that Shepard was becoming indoctrinated, and leaving the rest up to speculation. It was a genious bit of writing that sadly most gamers didn't comprehend, and instead of being the greatest ending of all time, it was downgraded to the most controversial ending of all time after EA made Bioware change it to suit the masses of vocal internet fanboys that wouldn't stop crying because they were too dumb to understand.

Because of that, I think I'm done with the ME series now, I don't see it going anywhere but down from here.

HelpfulGamer4030d ago

yeah let the player make the story too.

Mikefizzled4030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

I have to agree with you. However since Bioware is an EA company it will HAVE to use Frostbite 2. Which is beautiful but I would still prefer them to use UE4.

NarooN4030d ago

Don't you mean Frostbite 3? Frostbite 3 is capable of some really great visuals, it'd be a no-brainer for them to use that rather than UE4.

I honestly don't know much about UE4 right now, but as long as they've fixed that infamous textures-taking-50-years-to-lo ad-in thing, it'll be a nice engine.

Mikefizzled4030d ago

Haha, completely forgot to proof read the comment. Essentially if your unsure on the capabilities just watch the Elemental demo for UE4. A change in engine changes the art too much for me e.g. Dragon Age 1 + 2 compared to 3 and Army of Two 40th Day compared to The Devils Cartel. Moving across to Frostbite, in my opinion, has yet to prove successful.

FrightfulActions4030d ago

I hope its ending has exciting new color options. I'd fancy myself a nice purple ending, or even orange if I'm feeling wild.

Dfooster4030d ago

Can't wait, I love mass effect. I hope the new one is as rich in detail as the previous trilogy.

The Meerkat4030d ago

Now everyone is using BluRay we should have explorable locations on every planet.

Bioware could release a designer like Halos Forge and get fans to submit maps with a rough outline of a story. Then Bioware can do some polishing to make sure there is continuity and voilà a galaxy full of content.

meatysausage4030d ago

I would love that. Also playing as a different race this time with a completely perspective on a new story. I loved the original mass effect where you could land and drive around

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.

phoenixwing525d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken525d ago (Edited 525d 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_looken525d ago

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

GhostScholar525d ago (Edited 525d 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?

porkChop525d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183525d 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_drake525d 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
