I want to see Rome in the future. Specifically because I live there.



Funny, I grew up in Padova and Venezia

a lot of my buddies were always against seeing any italian cities being ravaged by some kind of disaster in movies/games but they always wanted to see how they would look in the future.

I'd like to see the Reapers destroy some other future metropolis.


Pretty much this. America in general has been so overdone it's not even funny. Western games are so Americanised that after playing I feel like going and eating crumpets with tea to remind myself I'm English (joke, but you get the point). I''ve got nothing against America, or any country for that matter, but it is nice to see other places in games (or a least not being American ingame).

It's overdone location of alien invasion.

I got sick of it.


This, Im a little tired of New York being the centre of attention in Sci-fi movies/games.  Crysis 2 has just done it and the movie world has focused so much attention on the City too.   The Day The Easth Stood Still for another recent example in Hollywood.  

Yes its understandable its going to be the focus of attention because of its importance as a present day metropolis. But I think many are tired of it.  In 200 years time theres going to be dozens of vibrant cities and locations.  We dont need to see another remake of a city done countless times over.    Bioware version will look similar to everything else. Focus on somewhere different and unique,   such as this interesting Seattle/Vancouver megacity they have mentioned

Yes.. it's been done alot, but it's a city people recognize. When People Think America or USA Usually the 1st thing people think is NY, that includes SoL.

Even though I'd love to see NYC, my hometown, get destroyed... why always destroy a place that has class? Why not the filth that is detroit or philly

I'd love it. I'd like to have an emotional driving force based on the destruction of my city.

Personally i'd rather not see the US at all. Most games that take place on Earth are based in the US or on US soldiers. Would be nice for a change to see the world from a different perspective.

Even though I have no problem seeing my street ripped apart. I think there should be a city that represents the capital of Earth. I'm sure that Earth in Mass Effect is under one government (if there is such an institution in Mass Effect Earth lore) Star Trek had San Francisco as the capital of Federation and Starfleet academy. I'm not saying SF should be it though maybe Bioware is on to a rational reason by using Seatle/Vancuver. New York probably may end up as the world capital (it egotistically is already in my eyes), but Seatle/Vancuver seems so unlikely it works. NY is obvious.

True, but an ME New York would be quite different.


Doubt it.

I liked Halo's Mombasa, unique and i have not seen any other game use a futuristic Mombasa, also Mombasa is in Africa which for the first time in a game not shown as slum.

Sorry to disappoint you but:

Alliance Mass Effect wiki...

The Systems Alliance is the representative body of Earth and all human colonies in Citadelspace. Backed by Earth's most powerful nations, the Alliance has becomehumanity's military, exploratory, and economic spearhead. While the Alliance is relatively new to the galactic community, it has already made a name for itself, gaining humans an embassy on the Presidium. The Alliance is governed by a parliament based at Arcturus Station; the station also serves as the Alliance's capital.



Earth Mass Effect Wiki...

The homeworld and capital of humanityis entering a new golden age. The resource wealth of a dozen settled colonies and a hundred industrial outposts flows back to Earth, fueling great works of industry, commerce, and art. The great cities are greening as arcology skyscrapers and telecommuting allow more efficient use of land.

Earth is still divided among nation-states, though all are affiliated beneath the overarching banner of the Systems Alliance. While every human enjoys longer and better life then ever, the gap between rich and poor widens daily. Advanced nations have eliminated  most genetic disease and pollution. Less fortunate regions have not progressed beyond 20th  century technology, and are often smog-choked, overpopulated slums.

Sea levels have risen two meters in the last 200 years, and violent weather is common due to environmental damage inflicted during the late 21st century. The past few decades, however, have seen significant improvement due to recent technological advances.

I would like to see Tokyo, not because i live there (though i might in a little while) it just already looks like something taken from Sci-Fi- in a good way.

We should see Edmonton just for the fun of it being Bioware's hometown. They already tied it in before with the Blood Dragon armour in ME2. Could be tied in like Shepards hometown or something along those lines.

Tokyo will be seen in cutscene to show what's happening on Earth every day.

Well, New York has the UN headquarters, if you want to count that.

This has me interested, hopefully we'll be able to see these "less fortunate regions" instead of just the high tech super nations.

Nobody want to see NYC in Mass Effect because it's getting old.

It is so very useless to invade New York of all cities because there really isn't anything of worth for invaders. Aliens in particular. It's not a capital city, there's no significant military presence. Yes, there's the UN, but would that really hurt from a strategic point of view? There's still NATO and similar military alliances that would be much more important in war times anyway. And ff you wanted the highest possible body count, you'd invade Tokyo. If you wanted to disable the governments of as many powerful countries as possible within a short period of time, Europe would be a much better target. It's been done over and over in movies and games. And it would seem particularly uncreative after Crysis 2.

We should go somewhere we've never been before, like... like... Mombasa for example.
