there could be quite a few ideas for a new mass effect with a new hero at the helm after mass effect 3 is realse whould you like mass effect to continue after the main trillogy is compleate

[Boiny Bunny]

IMO, no. Bioware have created a great story, and will be closing it with ME3. Any attempt to come up with a new plot would most likely destroy the artistic integrity of the original trilogy (much like Halo 4).

I would rather remember ME as a great series, and have Bioware move onto something new.

Traditionally, they've never been a company that uses one IP for very long, be it their own or leased, but since EA acquired them, perhaps they'll just keep producing ME and DA games forever more now.

Yay, can't wait for ME15 in 12 years...

They've already said their making more games in the universe.
That said its the end of the reapers and Shepards story so I personally don't care. I'll probably check it out but chances are its going to have Multiplayer being a main focus.

[Mister Mida]

Should it? No. Will it? Yes.

[sephiroth199127]

I want them to move on to new IPs, Dragon age and Mass Effect are good but once the story is done, they don't need to revisit it again. So no IMO.

[Boiny Bunny]

I don't want Bioware to have to come up with a plot that will inevitably be:

The Reapers were a joke. There is something out there MUCH worse, and now it is coming for all of us. You must stop it in ME4/5/6.

Then, after that:

Oh, yeah, that was also a joke. Now, something EVEN WORSE is coming for us. You must stop it in ME7/8/9.

etc.

[marshalleck]

They should probably make an MMORPG

Link?

All I've seen them say are things to the effect that the IP will keep developing. Which could mean more comic books, Facebook games, etc.

Neither do I but its to soon to call them on it.  Their next game can be anything.  My guess is some Coop style FPS or TPS that has a ragtag group of mercenaries taking various missions.  None of which have anything to do with a galactic threat like the Reapers.  Not everything has to be some big end of the world type thing.
Honestly they deliver on ME3 and after that they can do whatever they want with the IP.  It'll be the end of Shepard's story and if what they do after sucks it wont touch him.

 I really love the Mass Effect Universe and I still think it has a lot of potential. We don't need to go to Mass Effect 4, we could have a  new game with a new title to show it's another series.

[Boiny Bunny]

I suspect that there will be more Mass Effect after the trilogy - but not necessarily from Bioware.

A DICE developed Battlefield game for example, would probably be quite a possibility.

And no - not every game has to be a world ending thing - but it's VERY hard to transition from a world ending thing to a non world ending thing (see DA:O vs DA2 - you'll find that most didn't really care for the overarching plot of DA2, even ignoring its incredibly poor implementation and utter lack of player agency).

I guess we'll see how Halo 4 does on the plot side of things first...Im not expecting much...

eh that's kinda shaky, but fair enough

[nitefyre410]

Yes - Shepard Story should be done after Mass Effect 3 but Mass Effect should not end with Mass Effect 3 the Universe is Rich and you can still do so much.... why end it.

[Wulfram]

ME3 should be treated as the grand conclusion without being compromised by the need to set up future games.

In particular, they shouldn't let concerns about continuity with future games stop your decisions from having major, setting altering consequences. And the ending should obviously be a proper ending, not a sequel hook.

However, once ME3 is done there's no reason why they shouldn't set future games in the Mass Effect Universe.

It's not hard at all. Babylon 5 did it exceptionally by resolving the Shadow war, but showing how it left the political landscape scarred and full of trouble. That's not to say it didn't have some flaws of its own, so no need for BSN to get all hyperbolic vitriol on this.

You just had to go all negative on that, didn't you

I guess the DA:O to DA2 experience would be a bit disheartening.

[Boiny Bunny]

^ I can see what you're trying to say - but TV shows are very different to games in that respect. Plenty of TV shows work with interesting political landscapes and great characters, with little else.

Action/shooter games, live and breathe epic world ending warfare. As soon as you take the Master Chief and turn him into a police officer investigating corruption on the force, everybody loses interest immediately.

It seems to me, that it is only the more hardcore Bioware fans, who actually read the codex and care about the lore of the ME universe, who would be interested in another game that is not about aliens/machines ending the world.

Heh, yes there is some small part of me that would love to see what happens to the Chief and Cortana next...but it destroys the ending that Halo 3 had.

To me, making a Halo 4 is kind of like making the movie 'Titanic 2'.

It's just a sequel to a completely concluded story, that should never have been made, and is only being made, for money.  Ah, I don't want to derail this thread though.  Time will tell about Halo 4 I guess!

Mass Effect 4: A New Beginning


As the Galaxy recovers after the Reaper threat is ended......

[GHOST OF FRUITY]

Personally i'd rather it didn't, but that simply won't happen. So as it almost certainly is going to happen, I just hope the ME games after Shepards trilogy are good ones, with some inspiring ideas behind them. There's alot of scope in the ME universe for new stories and great games, it would be a waste just to create Call of Duty in space with that universe.

[DJRackham]

The Mass Effect label will be slapped on as many projects as possible as long it is profitable to do so. It will then be dropped like a hot potato as soon as sales figures drop.

Yeah, and that's seriously not the case with Mass Effect, right?
