Rumor: Mass Effect 4 Should be at E3 2015, Planned to Release in 2016

OnlySP: We know that a new Mass Effect is in development, and just a few months ago we were shown some glimpses of concept art from the game, but until now we haven’t really heard much about the game itself. According to Shinboi, that’ll change at E3 this year.

DarkOcelet3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

It was sort of in E3 2014 so its a no brainer it will be most definitely here. I was hoping for a 2015 release but if it as they say bigger than DAI then hell, take your time with it. I want it to be perfect. And hopefully it is not exclusive as rumored.

Wingsfan243805d ago

I think it makes sense to release in 2016 with all that EA has coming this year. Battlefront, new NFS, Battlefield...all major sellers.

obelix993805d ago

I wish we would here more about StarWars. Battlefront. There's very little known about it.

joab7773805d ago

It won't be. It would be awesome to have something like DA:I, instead of a map of ferelden, we get the galaxies. Select a planet and it has a couple open spaces and city hubs.

Seriously, take your time. Make it big. Allow us to choose our character this time. Populate the world with many quests etc.

DarkOcelet3805d ago

Well since they are bringing the Mako back then i am pretty sure it will be big. Lets just hope the new protagonist is as badass as Shepard.

spacedelete3805d ago

anyone remember that article were it said EA was expecting 10 million sales from Battlefront ? in the same sales report it had Mass Effect listed in 2016. definitely getting announced this year.

Wingsfan243805d ago

If Battlefront gets 10 million in sales, you'll be seeing a lot more Battlefront I'd imagine. Which also kinda worries me.

Skate-AK3805d ago

Have they said if it is current gen exclusive? If it's between the PS4,PS3,Xbone,360 and PC, I can see it hitting 10 million very quickly.

Summons753805d ago

Do you think it will be announced before or after the Mass Effect Trilogy Collection on PS4/Xbone?

Wingsfan243805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

Uh...idk. The only opinion I have on that is that they might announce it sometime soon to garner hype and sales for the new Mass Effect. But, considering they're working on Shadow Realms, Mass Effect and their Star Wars game, I'd place bets on them outsourcing it if they are doing it

Edit: Misred your question, gave opinion on Mass Effect trilogy announcement. Next Mass Effect has already kinda been announced, just not revealed yet.

Roccetarius3805d ago

It was only realistic to expect this in 2016. No way they had the development time for releasing it in 2015, due to the (at least mentioned) ambitions they have.

chikane3805d ago

Really hope the other company doesn't steal this game from PS fan..If you know what i mean

TheRedButterfly3805d ago

You mean the company that published the first one? And would've published all of them had EA not bought the studio?

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.

RaidenBlack40d 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.

Michiel198940d 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

matt13940d 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.

anast40d ago

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

goken40d 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.

pwnmaster3000243d ago

God I hope so.

Mass effect trilogy is my top 3 trilogy for me.
Remember playing it on the 360. Blew my mind.

just_looken242d 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...

RaidenBlack242d 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.

TheNamelessOne242d ago (Edited 242d 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.

VenomUK242d 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_looken242d ago

@RaidenBlack

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

IAMRealHooman242d 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_looken242d ago (Edited 242d 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_Bomb243d ago

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

Valkyrye242d ago

Now that Bioware is making bangers again hope has returned.

Obscure_Observer242d ago

Indeed.

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

MrDead242d 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.

Kaze88242d 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.

Abriael242d ago (Edited 242d 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.

RaidenBlack242d 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_looken804d ago (Edited 804d 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.

phoenixwing804d ago

They should redo the main trilogy

just_looken804d ago (Edited 804d 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_looken804d ago

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

GhostScholar804d ago (Edited 804d 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?

porkChop804d ago

Dragon Age is not more popular than Mass Effect.

shinoff2183804d 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_drake804d 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.
