You could do a lot with the Mass Effect universe.

Past wars (Rachni War, Krogan Rebellions, Geth Uprising) would be easy fodder for a RST strategy game ala Starcraft. Distant and vague enough to not change anything, while still allowing flexibility (ie no matter what you campain is, it still fits within the timeline).


A post-Reaper MMORPG strikes me as a slightly less likely path. Going by a default/'game canon' interpretation, the players get a post-Reaper setting in which the galaxy, while it survived, is in considerable turmoil. Reaper technology and perhaps even a surviving Reaper or three hiding and manipulating events from behind the scenes would give a good enemy, while the post-war chaos offers every faction a chance to claim as much ground as they can.

I'd even favor the free-wheeling Renegade universe as a justification for the greater conflict: players could start as any number of species, and play accordingly without having a 'why would a Turian player fight a Human player in a Paragon Council?' mismatch.

Maybe a prequel of ME.

@Arcian. We know it does't need to be an RPG, but some of us really like RPGs .

Maybe it's because I have such a broad range of game genres I like (I can play pretty much everything aside from racing games), but I find the idea that someone can only like or play RPG's laughable.

It is not like that, I play different genres too, and I always liked the idea of a AssassinsCreed-like Dragon Age, but if you ask what we would like the most for Mass Effect, my preference is an RPG.

I would enjoy any other genre as long as it has a good story and characters and is singleplayer (but that is just me not liking multiplayer, I have nothing against multiplayer  games being released for those who want it).

edit: Oh! And I prefer if it is not a pure "hardcore" RPG, what I like of RPGs is the choices and dialogue, not the calculations to deduce the best stat in wich to place the three points each time you level up.

As long as the Kinect is finished and Bioware got that out of their system then i would buy into next ME universe game, whatever their direction.

@Arcian: as OP you encouraged people to share their opinions and ideas and then you block their/our ideas because it doesnt agree with yours? i think that's laughable.

it's a matter of preference - i play a bunch of genres as well but i PREFER to play RPGs - doesnt mean i cant play anything else.

and as a matter of the topic, yes, people came to love the franchise and it's style so it's gona be a big shock if they deviate from that and from the recipe that clearly worked and is still working. and i'm not saying that your idea is a bad one as i was jsut stating what i preferred to see. and yes, since after me3, it can be a whole new start for the franchise, they can do whatever they want, whatever style they want but of course, everyone has that little something inside them that hopes it's something they want.

mass effect 3 should end with mass effect 3. all projects related to mass effect 3 should be boldly different or else we get trilogies after trilogies.

[Zulmoka531]

If they continue the ME franchise, they'll need to be as ambiguous as possible. Making anything "canon" (as you can see by many things in this forum) would start a **** storm that would put a cat 5 tornado to shame.

They have an awesome lore established, but ME was always Shepard's story and everyone's Shepard is personal.

[DoNotIngest]

I like how everyone insists that they ARE Shepard, and whine about certain things "...breaking my immersion!", etc, but are completely happy to move along from Shepard to someone else.

Not that it's a bad thing, it's just that I already have the beginnings of feeling like I'm walking around with a piece missing, and ME3 isn't even out yet. ME just wouldn't feel the same without the characters that ARE Mass Effect.

I should've posted this in the "Unpopular Opinions" thread.



Edit: Though, any kind of game with returning characters would be a lot easier to swallow, obviously... Just because you're not Shepard doesn't mean you can never meet people who were involved with him.

OK then.

Morning War: The Geth Rebellions

You play 2 campaigns.
1st with Elite Quarian squad leader( capable to upgrade Combat, Tech and Biotic skills), your missions is to try to secure capital city( with heavy military support) but in the end fail at it and your next missions is to evacuate as much civilians as possible and retreat.

2nd is with prototype Geth platform( can hold around 500 Geth program's) in military base. You try to save your fellow Geth but also stop in killing civilians since they don't know it's wrong thing. Also some plot twist in the end.


Co-Op and competitive multiplayer included.




Battlefield: Mass Effect

Pretty much campaign of every famous battle happen in Mass Effect universe in Battlefield style.

Nobody likes this idea?

[Shifty Assassin]

something like mass effect origins and it reads the saves of me3. Also i want one of the races to be a drell =)

[Ulathar]

I'd love to see a 4X RTS or TBS in the Mass Effect universe.

[Ieldra]

I'd like to see a stealth-based game set in the late 2160s with Miranda as the protagonist

(aren't I predictable )

The important thing is that they write ME3 as a proper conclusion, rather than compromising it to set up future games.

^ This, but given what Casey said, ME3 is the last game. I'd rather it be the last game, too! I really hope it's handled correctly from beginning to end.

[Brawne]

How about RPG in post ME3 where you play as Spectre. After war like this there should be plenty of volatile situations to solve.
MMO wouldnt hurt either.

Don't get me started!! 

[TheChris92]

Meh. I think I'm done with Mass Effect after Mass Effect 3.

[Patchwork]

The franchise should stay a RPG Shooter, they've found a niche and should stick to it.

Once Shepard's trilogy is done it might be a good idea to do some stand alone games e.g. ME4 colonisation/exploration in a post Reaper universe. ME5 C-Sec espionage. So there's a break between one trilogy hero and the next.

GTA style game set on the Citadel with you as a C-Sec officer.

 I'll be happy with anything Mass Effect as long as it doesn't become a MMO... While it sounds like a MMO set in the ME universe can be a good idea, it really will not be... I don't want to pay $10-15 a month to play with, as was mentioned earlier, "hawtasari" or "suparkrogan" or w/e the examples were. Plus MMOs seem to be something of the absolute end of a franchise. Plus it also locks the franchise as well as forcing a canon story to everybody's Shepard. To have one static universe for everyone to run around in will require a predetermined set of events to have passed. That problem could be solved by having the game take place well before Shepard's time, but then you won't be able to play as humans period, or by having multiple server shards each with a universe with the different major possible outcomes. However such a task would be rather taxing and costly I would imagine. Plus if BioWare wanted to do anything else with the franchise after the MMO is made then it would be difficult to work in how whatever happens during the MMO time affects the universe during future merchandise. Also the MMO would have to have some sort of constant threat being created by the developers (as in WoW and virtually all other current MMOs) or be designed in such a manner as to allow a nearly completely player driven conflict scenario (as in EVE: Online).

Honestly if nothing else comes out of the Mass Effect franchise I'll be happy because its pure gold as it is now. And if anything else does come out of the franchise, I will still be one very extremely happy person so long as they don't carry the same stench Star Wars Episodes 1, 2, and 3 had about them.

[Kenthen]

If not more RPGs, I'd like a game ala Jagged Allliance 2 set in the ME universe. That still has a fair bit of RPG things to it. Doesn't really -have- to be turnbased either, real-time with pause, for example, could work just as well if done correctly.

Aside from that though, I don't know. I don't care at all for another FPS and an RTS makes me yawn just thinking about it. A 4X game, maybe...

[corrin1984]

Well, we know from past experiences with franchises like Splinter Cell, Call of Duty, Halo that if a franchise makes money, it'll have sequels of some sort. So, we really can't say, "ME3 should be the last, get a new IP!". While I bet Bioware is surely moving in other directions, making new IPs, we'll have an ME4. And I really do think that if SWTOR does well for them, that they may create an MMORPG. It makes a lot of sense. MMO's, provided they succeed, are basically money printing machines. Every 3 months, you're practically rebuying the game. They allow companies to release patches and expansions instead of full games, and keeps customers loyal to the franchise and company.

I can't really see them doing a prequel, not with a human Spectre at least as Shepard was the first... so... it'd be a bit Xenophobic as the Alliance was just starting out. And I doubt they'd go the Anderson route, because he's all ready got the novels devoted to his plotline. Sure, they could do another race, but I think there are a lot of Mass Effect fans, who would rather play as a Human as much as the rest would like a choice. So unless they have a new Hero/Heroine saving the galaxy from a terrible threat via a new Trilogy... I just see them going the MMO route.

I'm not interested in that. I paid for RPG, and that's what I want. I wouldn't want the franchise to stagnate, but if it loses the RPG I take my money elsewhere.

My wish would be for a more indepth game set on one planet with only a few diversions from their. Something sci-fi noir, not totally unlike the Marid Audran novels. They've shown they can do gray moralities, why not do a gray morality tale while trying to make a living on Omega?

EDIT: I do play not-RPGs, but it's the RPG aspect of the game that I enjoy. Why would I wait for a new game in the universe which didn't include it, when I can get the same thing elsewhere tomorrow?
