No, no, no. Mass Effect franchise will not become like the Halo series. Pay attention Bioware, cause this will save you time and money:
1. No MMO
2. No RTS
3. No prequel
4. No story arc from another perspective; example Halo ODST
The only viable option is a sequel. Continue the franchise with another trilogy. I'm surprise Bungie finally got that right for the Halo series, took them three years.
ME franchise is a third person shooter, so that means no MMO or RTS. Prequels always have some major detail that doesn't fit the plotline or timeline from the original trilogy. Story arc, please. Those are the worst, cause you know that nothing in the story arc means nothing and isn't going to affect the overall story, and half the time its a character that nobody cares about, sorry Lileiana. (Can't spell her name, Dragon Age Origins) Witch Hunt was different, because it extended the story with the Warden, and his possible LI.
Here's some starting points: Everything takes place in the future and space travel has just started again.
Main villians
-Creator of the reapers
-New race that evolved and wasn't part of the former/current galactic society
The francise should die with the ending of ME3, but it won't. Seriously, the only way it to continue the franchise is through another trilogy, learn the mistakes from the first three.
In the issue of GameInformer last summer focusing on ME3, Casey Hudson talked about doing a Mass Effect MMO. EA is a fan of the online shenanigans. It's only logical to assume something like that will be in the works soon if it isn't already. "The Final Hours" uncovered the existence of the precursor to the current MP - a first-person shooter that looked strangely like Halo with Mass Effect weapons, backgrounds, and vehicles. With their move to include MP in Mass Effect 3, it definitely indicates where their thoughts are headed on that front...and it's being successful. Many people have given up SP because of the endings and have taken refuge in MP. If this trend continues, we might very well see much more online-geared content in the future.
I hope to all that is holy that I'm wrong, but given what has been coming to light since this game released, I'm not optimistic.
I love the Mass Effect series, but I don't want to see EA abuse the sucess of the series by creating more games from it, unless its another trilogy to keep to the same gameplay.
I used to love the Halo series, but after they created Halo Wars, ODST, and Reach, I have lost all respect for the company. Now that they are making another trilogy, I might go back, because you stick with what works.
My pet peeve about MMOs is, that after you buy the game, you have to continue to pay to play the game. I like picking up a game and playing it whenever, not being forced to pay 20$ a month to play, after paying 60$ for the game. I'm a busy guy with work and classes, I hardly have much time to play except on weekends, so how fair is it to pay more for a game if I barely get to play it. Plus I'm not much of a PC player, more of a 360.
Retour en haut
didn't feel like milking the franchise anymore. I guess this is a good thing, though, because Halo means a lot to Microsoft, and they've been coddling Halo 4 for 5 years now.
