It's no secret that Mass Effect 3 left a bad taste in the mouth's of fans worldwide. It's also no secret that the ME universe is vast and full of promise so we're not ready to give up on it just yet. Here's five keys we believe to be of the utmost importance to ME's continuing success.
Mass Effect 4 has the perfect chance to reintroduce dialogue skills, and Baldur's Gate 3 might be the blueprint BioWare needs.
I'm not so sure they can, most talent that made the old games as good as they were, has left Bioware.
They can always recruit old fellas,
And also, new devs can always learn and also new indie devs are very passionate evident from the amazing indie games heavy with these gameplay features.
I don't think anyone would wanna come back after the stories that were told from Anthem development. I just don't see it happening. It's a bit similar to blizz, some of the talent has come back there, but there has been a shift in the studio's culture and also what the higher ups expect/demand of them
After andromeda and veilguard i think it’s assured that the bioware we once knew has gone, I have little hope for me4. Hopefully i’m wrong.
Many fans of the Mass Effect series have been wondering whether the next installment will keep the tone we’re used to or will change like Dragon Age did.
God I hope so.
Mass effect trilogy is my top 3 trilogy for me.
Remember playing it on the 360. Blew my mind.
The fact you can alter/remove entire quest lines do too what you did on me1 in me3 or all those endings was one thing but then you remember that one team made mass effect 1-3 dragon age 1-3 in one console generation is just a insane feat that they did.
Great games but looking at mass effect 4 anthem current dragon age reviews/gameplay and who is left at bioware i have very little expectation on the new mass effect games.
Also last year that teaser trailer the look to me was not mass effect like why are we wearing a trench coat in space and at the same time trying to give off destiny vibe/look.

Just looked liked a starfield player made a n7 clothing mod yes it looks really good but to me a mass effect player just not a in the mass effect world vibe if you get me. Like the end part what is that player now trying to be in a western? so much going on that again to me not mass effect.
Like look at this 57 second teaser for mass effect 3 to me this sets the tone way better and shepard looks like he belongs in space no bike helmet/trench coat deal and the weapons/look feels mass effect

SO yeah i think the new mass effect is gong to be bad low expectations over here.
Heck one more 2005 teaser for mass effect one 20 year old footage give or take it was made in 2004 again shows the animations characters in light and looks like a sifi game

If you want to enjoy the same Mass Effect vibes, better keep an eye on the Exodus.
Being made by OG ex-Bioware devs at Archetype Entertainment, its a spiritual successor to ME-trilogy.
Yeah. One of the bigger gripes DA series fans are having with Veilguard is that virtually no choices from the original game carried over to Veilguard and that there's very little choice/agency in the game, itself.
I'm not trying to be a pessimist. I loved Bioware, going all the way back to Baldur's Gate, but there's nothing in front of me right now that has me actually believing in what a new Mass Effect might be. I'm expecting basically a linear shooter with some romance options.
I speak on behalf of everyone on N4G when I say I hope that Bioware build on the DEI success of Dragon Age: Veilguard and allows every player character to have the option of becoming trans.
If the new DA doesn't sell well, we will probably never get it, what's to stop EA from axing Bioware after another failed to meet sales quota, they've killed teams for much less
Well bioware as a whole last game that made cash was 2013 dragon age 3 so you never know they might get another pass again.
Love that trilogy! Beat them on Xbox, PS3 and again on PS4 lol! One of my all timers.
Indeed.
And their next game will also focus on photorealism so it´s gonna be a banger of a masterpiece!
DA:V is getting fantastic reviews so there's hope for the future. The last mass effect was such a disappointment story wise, let's hope they can learn from the new Dragon Age.
DA used to be very dark and bleak, now it's just jolly good time with guardians of the galaxy. Choices don't matter, you cant actually be evil or mean, you cant lose anyone. There is not much hope for a good Mass Effect.
Let's hope not. The new Dragon Age: The Veilguard is exactly the reason for this comment, because it threw away the mature tone of the original.
Agree ... the moment I read the comment the ME main menu theme came to my mind.
Dont effing downgrade ME.
I am looking forward to Exodus for my ME fix in the meantime anyways.
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.
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.
Well i am not American so please enlighten me on usa education before your country invades mine and forces us into your society
@ 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?
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
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.
The best way they can fix the "too much action" problem is to get rid of Thermal clips. Less focus on shooting, more focus on RPG goodness
make like 10 Citadels
There's nothing wrong with "too much action", as long as all the other elements are there in between the action.
Also, why shouldn't it be a galaxy-wide threat? So what if something comes along that threatens the galaxy? It doesn't make the Reapers any less powerful than they were. Thats idiotic. The universe is a huge place. Are we to believe that the Reapers were the end all, be all of threats in the entire universe? The Mass Effect trilogy took place in ONE galaxy. The universe is a HUGE place. It would be dumb to think that there is nothing else out there that could be a galactic level threat.
If its not a galaxy-wide threat, then what would it be? A political threat? The galactic mob? Space Pirates? Come on now, how would that seem after playing something as epic in scope as the previous trilogy?
Here the biggest one .....dont lie about our choices meaning something then at the last minute "we dont want people penalize for their action from perivous games" wasnt that the damn point? Yes it was but you got cold feet.
I fucking love this series and can't wait to play what ever they do next. Bring it.
