So all we have to do is tease, and get nominated? Alright, I'm bringing the troll train right to IGN.
I fear that the next ME is Mass Effect Online and would be like ESO, SWtOR, Destiny and Mass Effect all rolled into one giant letdown.
While getting a Mass Effect MMO at some point is not impossible, you'll be happy to hear that this is not the game we're talking about when we talk about the next Mass Effect.

I'm not sure if it is right for Michael Gamble to be making a joke about this since the NME E3 reveal was basically them trolling all ME fans. In truth the showed almost nothing and they did not tell us anything that we did not already know so at the end of the day the showed jack squat.
That's basically what he is admitting. It was really odd getting that nomination simply because they didn't say very much at all. I suspect it was completely unexpected.
The N7 armor intrigues me. Can't be set too many years after ME3.
LOL relax, most publishers are over MMO craze with most projects either flopping or not making anything near the WOW money they were hoping for. Mas Effect MMO won't happen for many years if ever
Besides they have Dawngate going on right now and I don't think Bioware will want to do another MMO after what happened with The Old Republic.
At this point I think it's written in the stars that the next major chunk of info will be at N7 day.
We'll probably hear a few more vague #nocontext hints before then though.
There is early in-engine footage in that video.

EDIT: And yes, I know I was certainly pretty surprised at a nomination at E3 for the new Mass Effect. As the biggest surprise, no less. I didn't think anyone would be surprised about the new Mass Effect existing.

You took the plants from DAI though, didn't you?

I took nothing. I don't know about any of the artists, though.

I bet you took some float and bool variable select entities and such though, perhaps unknowingly.

Ahh maybe just the general 'look' of modified BW-Frostbite fooled me then Or it's my 'thing' for spotting same assets, I loved cut Sleheyron skybox from KOTOR used as picture of Mars in ME1 galaxy map That poor skybox was also cut from KOTOR 2 by Obsidian lol

Tomorrow I will be taking your bool variables, Barrett.

False!
The point of the trilogy was to have fun and experience a cool story and interact with cool characters. The ending of ME3 wasn't the whole trilogy. Simplifying the endings is not at all comparable to not having them at all - it just makes them easier to incorporate them into a sequel and still have it actually be feasible.
Yeah. Mass Effect has always been about the characters and story telling. The choice mechanic has never made a big difference to the outcome. I think it was always intended to make the games interesting and more replayable. If choices actually made a big difference to outcomes, then ME2 would have needed to be 2 separate games. One for saving the council, and one for letting them die. And then at least four separate games for ME3 once you factor in the Collector base mission. The time and resources needed for development would have been too hard to justify, so a line had to be drawn. As it was, ME3 ran over time and even still arguably needed more work. The game we got is ****** huge.
I know there are people who want ME:N's development to run into 2016/17 precisely so the game can deal with wildly diverging outcomes, but Bioware can't justify that from a financial perspective. EA is happy to dole out a big whack of money for a successful franchise, but being a company based on profit making for shareholders, they will want a significant return on that investment in a reasonable period of time.
So what we're going to get is a game which tries to deal with the ending choice (and the other major choices) in a way which satisfies fans as best as possible, but the outcomes will probably converge to a degree. The talk of having a plan makes me think a canon hasn't been chosen, so we can at least stop worrying about that. Your choice did happen, unless you chose refuse of course.
I fear that the next ME is Mass Effect Online and would be like ESO, SWtOR, Destiny and Mass Effect all rolled into one giant letdown.
The othe fear I have is the next ME will be Mass Effect Inquisition and build a plot with Vega and the Catalyst or another previously antagonistic character as the wingmen to the new hero.
What? Why would Vega or the Cata.. I just.. what.
They are not retconning. What you did happened in your game. It is showing one possible future, the consequences of a single decision. It is not saying it is the best, simply the best base to write another story from.
Setting a canon ignores 3 out of 4 of the players choices. Setting it in another galaxy to avoid the players choice is ignoring all of them. And leaves the problem if they ever want to return.
Casey already said they wouldn't set a canon.
This is just simply not going to happen. Period.

False!
Software Re-usability at it's best.
Also I can't be the only one that got that boolean joke right?
From the looks of it, you can imagine this is set after the events of ME3 in near future. Post-apocalyptic galaxy etc.
The N7 armor intrigues me. Can't be set too many years after ME3.
This is exactly what I was thinking. The fact that we see humans and the N7 logo debunks prequels set in the distant past like the Protheans. The appearance of humans in NME still makes it possible for the game to be a prequel, but to counter this we have the 'more advanced technology' and 'war torn planets'. This for me is a big indication that the game is a sequel. (Which is probably no surprise).
The N7 armor and war torn environments however suggest that the game is set not far after the other three Mass Effect games. Otherwise you'd assume N7 might be surpassed by other military ranks and the rubble has been cleared. (Although the rubble might be from another war.)
So my guess will be that NME will be set between a decade and a hundred years after the events of ME3. The Galaxy is still war torn and new problems arise, like the resurrected Rachni. the Krogans, Warring Factions, new spacefaring factions like the Yahg, pirates and shortages on technology and resources. Destroy will be the canon-ending because it writes out the Reapers the easiest way and still leaves the galaxy in a war torn state. (With control you rebuild the galaxy with the reapers, with synthesis you create some sort of a utopian society.) This is where I would put my money on.
Perhaps it will take place after the stargazer scene? Just did the control ending and it seems as though everything gets rebuilt. back to the way it was as Hacket put it.
No matter the ending I think the game would take place sometime around the stargazer scene. And maybe you play the kid from that scene?
It at least sounds doable right? and that way just about any ending works except maybe refuse.
Been lurking here for a month or two... Been playing since I randomly bought ME1 off of xbox live. Hooked ever since.

Welcome to the Dark Side, son.
Guess I shoudve said I've been lurking here off and on since ME2 days. Been on here steady after I came across this awesome thread.
