While Mass Effect 4 could be an interesting experience, it is a needless one, with the franchise going all Terminator on itself, by planning on giving us an installment that is not truly necessary, and that may cause the franchise to suffer.
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."
“Mass Effect 4 Needs to Make One Major Change with the Protagonist“
To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
The issue here is that the Mass Effect lore belongs to Shepard. Any other protagonist will not be received well. Just like MGS belongs to Snake or Splinter Cell belongs to Fisher. This is going to be a hard game to make. Hopefully the protagonist is half as good as Shepard and he better have badass companions. (Wrex and Garrus ftw!)
I guess im one of the few who DOESNT want shepard back. They created a huge universe. I want to see other peoples stories. I liked the ending to 3. I dont think the main character should always live. Theres an entire universe set up for more than just shepard. The only hting i'd like to see this time around is being able to play as a different race.
But i know im in the minority here.
O shut up with your pointless article you Muppet the game hasn't even been announced and your already negative
The only one i'm replaying is the first game, so Shepard's story can take a hike for all i care. Once bitten, twice shy like the saying goes. ME3 opened my eyes and told me, that it was pointless to replay it for the journey. Mass Effect 1 is the beginning and the end for me.
Either way, maybe they can give people the choice for starting as a new race this time, instead of just human.
As long as the story telling is great along with all that was awesome with the previous installments, count me in.
I do hope they look into elements of what no mans sky is doing. Less loading and more immersion whereas traveling to star systems and planets is concerned.
