On Mac Walter's twitter: "Really looking forward to the future of the Mass Effect franchise after the ME3 endings." 

What future??? The relays are gone, everyone is stranded, Joker and the crew are not fighting for Earth for some reason. Everything is ruined. How can he even talk about the future??

My god, the fact that these endings are this bad is a clear indication that Mass Effect HAS TO DIE before it's ruined anymore than it already has. Plotholes up the ass? Unfulfilling conclusions creating more questions than they answer? This is NOT what an ending is supposed to do, they're supposed to give closure and yet you're talking about ME's future? END IT before it gets any worse please I BEG YOU.

Either they saw a great story telling opportunity in the destruction of all we know and love, in which case I have to wonder why they didn't just do a spin off that's based off of that kind of ending, or they were so sick of the current universe that they wanted to change it up. Which, sadly does happen when writers get burnt out with their work. They just want to make it end, or change eveyrthing to keep their interest.

Hey, imho they needed to make a big "distruption" to reboot the franchise several centuries later... Where we'll be able to find liara and edi...

After an ending like that he expects people to want to play mass effect? [i respectfully disagree with] you.

I mean how can Mass Effect even have a future the ending got rid of the effing MASS EFFECT!! That would be like at the end of RotJ they killed off the force.

I have a difficult time believing that there can be any intent other than to mock us behind that twitter quote.

Can there be a "mass effect universe" without mass relays? Honestly, I don't see how this is possible. I was disappointed in the Leliana lives fiasco, but the Shepard never happened so we still have mass relays is more than silly, it's insulting.

They are planning to do games that take place in the distant past.

It seems like they wanted to kill or strand everyone so they could start over. I think it was a bad call..

There's no reason to destroy what you have built just to build something new. They should just build something different beside what is already there.

Is it still Mass Effect without mass effect techology?

I'm actually intrigued to see where they go with this.

Remember that whatever plans Bioware had for Mass Effect was before Electronic Arts brought them on board. If the Executives at EA want more Mass Effect because it makes alot of money, then we're going to have more Mass Effect one way or another. Be it prequels or alternate stories set during the events of the Shepard story, it'll be there.

Also, as far as we know, the whole "only a trilogy" could have just been in relation to 'Shepard'.

Even with the Mass Relays destroyed, we've got alot of options still left to us. Everything from standard mass effect FTL to having some of the greatest scientific minds ever assembled still around (the crucible development team, I HIGHLY doubt they just rode the thing in during a combat operation, they're likely back wherever the crucible launched from. Granted it would be pretty ****ty if they were on a starbase that's too far from any habitable planets.... but hey, they're geniuses).

I think the BIGGEST question, will be how much the fanbase supports the series after those endings... ME3 just came out. It wasn't even out everywhere until just today. We have no idea what kind of DLC they have planned, etc. And you can be damned sure they have at least SOME planned :P

For me, with those endings there can be no mass effect games post Shepard's story. That universe and galaxy they created, and I enjoyed so much, is now destroyed. Anything new for this franchise would have to be before the events of the past three games.

Just like I have absolutely zero desire to go back into the world of Dragon Age after the mess of an ending that was DA2, right now I don't have any desire to return to ME3 despite it being an incredible game up the the conclusion. But this is a big sweeping trilogy that has nailed the ending for the first two installments then massively failed to deliver anything logical or emotionally satisfying in the final climax.

There's no reason to destroy what you have built just to build something new. They should just build something different beside what is already there.

I have to agree on both counts. I'm just trying to rationalize why they did it, even if I think it was a stupid call on this part.

What future???

The post-Reaper, post-Relay future where organic and/or synthetics live, obviously.

A series about the re-connection of the galaxy would fit well.

The relays are gone,

Can be rebuilt.

everyone is stranded,

FTL still exists.

Joker and the crew are not fighting for Earth for some reason.

That one is odd.

Everything is ruined.

And ready to be rebuilt.

How can he even talk about the future??

How can there be a future after any cataclysmic event?

By the survivors regrouping, rebuilding, and recovering.

i am afraid Bioware is about to do a MasEffect online game.
It will take place 500 years in the future. In this game we will find out that Tali and Garrus died in a horrible agonising deaths, Ashley killed herself and Liara became insane, cause everyone on Normandy died out eventually.
And writers will call it "bittersweet epilogue ".
Yup.

"Guys, lets not end this....I 've got a great idea! Rather than concluding this as a trilogy as we've always said....what if we f'd it up like swim cleats and pissed off over half our player base..? what do you think? Doesn't that scream 'sequel?"

Seriously, over my dead body that I'll play another ME game again. The series was totally destroyed in the most disgusting manner. I hate this series now. From a fanatic to a total hater. The only reason i stay in this is because I'm so disappointed that i cant leave right now. I'm dealing with the death of one of my favourite series which i invested time in.

This has too much fail for me to tackle that I don't even want to. Must be a troll for how little he understands mass effect canon.

I like all these people that say FTL still exist.

The destroy ending leaves Reapers, Geth, Mass Relays, and EDI all destroyed...so how do you figure FTL was left unharmed?
