Mass Effect 4 Is Looking Better Everyday, Game File Size Is Massive, ‘There Is A Lot In There’

Here’s some interesting news that’s not quite news for those of you who, like me, are avid fans of the Mass Effect universe and all things tied to it. A recent tweet from one Chris Wynn, who is Senior Development Director over at Bioware Montreal, reads “Copying the latest Mass Effect build to my computer to play. Windows is telling me “about 1 day” to copy it. There is a lot in there.”

Ugh, I wanna see this game so damn bad.

EA better show this game off next E3.

In fact EA better have a real E3 next year and not half ass it like they did last summer.

2015 is the year EA steps up.

NewMonday3843d ago

after plying Dragon Age Inquisition I'm very hyped for this, Bioware fix all the problems, they did everything great, now can't wait to see what they do with Mass Effect.

Ezz20133843d ago

Same
never played Dragon Age before
and man i'm having tons of fun with this amazing game

92 hours in and i'm still in mission 5 or 4 in the main story

been doing lots of side missions
and i don't think i'm even close to halfway

Dark113843d ago

Yeah me too!
but please no more Fetch Quests.

DanteVFenris6663843d ago

What my hope is they do something like DAI with the fast travel map but instead of different areas they are different planets. And this is just a dream but maybe even use a spaceship to travel to real time would be great.

I remember ratchet and clank doing that. They made a 2d space flyer in a 3d world to fly to other planets and it worked perfectly. Something like that would be cool.

joab7773843d ago

Me too. Inquisition blew me away. I always said that if Bioware and Bethesda got together and made an rpg, ot would be epic.

This is the closest thing to date and surpassed my greatest expectations.

Now, The Witcher 3 may end up being the rpg to beat once it releases in May, but I am extremely optimistic for Mass Effect. Hopefully they create big areas like Dragon Age on different planets. It would finally allow us to delve into these amazing races and their homeworlds. Man, I cant wait.

I want star citizen and me4.

I hope pc is lead platform.

Magicite3843d ago

bioware is who deserves all the praise, EA are still sh1t.

Tsar4ever013843d ago (Edited 3843d ago )

I hope Bioware copies the character soldier animation mo-cap & cover style animation of Ghost Recon Future Soldier & Ghost Recon online/Phantom. Or a least look at both games for inspiration.

GRO/P example: https://www.youtube.com/wat... Take close look at 2:16-3:00

4:39-4:50 shows best is what is explained in this dev dairy video https://www.youtube.com/wat... 0:10-1:05, the most intriguing part starts at 0:34

then there's GRFS anime & cover : https://www.youtube.com/wat... and this Navy Seals MoCap https://www.youtube.com/wat... This is not about the game as a whole, I'm talking specifically about your character as a N7 soldier for ME4. Over-the shoulder, shoulder swap, cover anime, ADS, wall sticking, running, sliding, crouch stalking. Nobody out there is better at this than Ubisoft, as far as modern-era combat soldiers are concerned.

Roccetarius3843d ago

Games like The Evil Within and Wolfenstein is massive as well, but we all know what happened to those games. Inconsistent textures and the like.

I think people should keep their hype in check. :)

DanteVFenris6663843d ago

Ummmm what? Those developers are completley different and different genres and games. Yes any game can have popins

Roccetarius3843d ago (Edited 3843d ago )

I'm saying size is irrelevant to talk about, it's what you do with it.

ChrisChambers3843d ago

Haven't played The Evil Within but man I played the hell out of Wolfenstein. Didn't think I'd love that game as much as I do, but it was definitely worth the price of admission

Chanogram3843d ago (Edited 3843d ago )

Are you seriously comparing wolfensetein and the evil within (two mostly linear games) to Mass Effect in terms of scope and size?? have you actually played any of those games?

aliengmr3843d ago

In all fairness, Wolfenstein's file size was due to the streaming textures. RAGE was pretty large too.

Though you do have a point, Wolfenstein was like a 44gb install. Great game, sure, but there have been games with more "stuff" at half the file size, so that's not really a great indicator of a good game. Could just be a large pile of crap for all we know.

Trekster_Gamer3842d ago

I think your comment should be kept in check. I would guess you have never played mass effect.

I just hope that it is New Gen only. EA Seems to be late to that party. Cross Gen hurts every game it touches because those systems hinder creative decisions.

medman3843d ago

Mass Effect is sooooo good. I'll have another.

MilkMan3843d ago

A lot of what? Multiplayer?!
Tell you what, I want a STRONG, LONG single Player campaign, but I know I wont get this. Instead Ill get a cut up, half assed done SP, with tons of DLC and strong focus on multiplayer, you know to keep the "experience" going - since thats what ME is turned into. The next Army of Two.

TheRedButterfly3842d ago

^ Clearly couldn't solo Platinum and is salty about it.

/s

But real talk, ME3's MP was wonderful. So was it's SP. MP would only warrant criticism had it taken away from the SP, which it didn't.

MilkMan3842d ago

Played the MP twice and never went back. Oh and I don't platinum games, im old school. When I see credits roll, signifies to me that I beat the game.
MP was a HUGE distraction from the main game. There was no purpose for that content other than place a carrot right in front of the gullible, action-addicted gamers.
I like my rpgs (or in ME's case rpg-lite) long and involved. minus any mp. Like Dragon Age. I've omitted the MP part of the game and so far the SP is satisfying. Ill never miss it.

TheRedButterfly3842d ago

-_- Platinum was a difficulty in the multiplayer and has nothing to do with achievements/trophies.

How was MP a distraction to the game? "There was no purpose of that content other than place a carrot..." Uh, isn't that what any/all multiplayer is about? Gears of War/Last of us didn't need MP, but they didn't suffer from it - they benefited from it. Same with ME3. I play through the SP a couple times, but after that I'm pretty much done with my RPGs (Skyrim? Only had 1 playthrough... 450+hrs of it, but whatever).

But because of ME3's MP, I continued to play, and enjoy, the game for many months. Solid gameplay mechanics and challenging horde-mode? That's an enjoyable pass-time.

Though, there's something to be said about actually playing with friends, so I guess that'd be a good place to start.

Mass Effect 4's Dialogue Could Take a Page Out of Baldur's Gate 3's Book

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.

RaidenBlack35d ago

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.

Michiel198935d ago

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

matt13935d ago

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.

anast35d ago

The can't. But they wouldn't even if they could.

goken34d ago

Yeah… also if pigs decided evolve wings, they could fly…

Next Mass Effect Will Maintain the Mature Tone of the Original Trilogy

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.

just_looken237d ago

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.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

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

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

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

https://youtu.be/SkfB7-KwRn...

RaidenBlack237d ago

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.

TheNamelessOne237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

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.

VenomUK236d ago

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.

just_looken236d ago

@RaidenBlack

Great point yeah that so far looks be a good game fingers crossed.

IAMRealHooman236d ago

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

just_looken236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

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.

P_Bomb237d ago

Love that trilogy! Beat them on Xbox, PS3 and again on PS4 lol! One of my all timers.

Valkyrye237d ago

Now that Bioware is making bangers again hope has returned.

Obscure_Observer237d ago

Indeed.

And their next game will also focus on photorealism so it´s gonna be a banger of a masterpiece!

MrDead237d ago

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.

Kaze88237d ago

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.

Abriael236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

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.

RaidenBlack236d ago

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.

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."

just_looken798d ago (Edited 798d ago )

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.

phoenixwing798d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken798d ago (Edited 798d 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_looken798d ago

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

GhostScholar798d ago (Edited 798d 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?

porkChop798d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183798d 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_drake798d 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.
