Seems strongly implied that new Mass Effect will be set in totally different galaxy, but will contain familiar elements. #SDCC
Excellent.
Agreed - best solution all around.
the more i know information on the new mass effect the less im excited about the franchise. Now i just don t care, lol
So...either it's a reboot, or people from the Milky Way have traveled to a different galaxy.
Why do I get the feeling that this is going to get more controversial as time goes on....
Was it ever going to be any other way?

I don't care much for the idea, but if we still know it takes place post ME3 and we aren't lost in space somewhere (we still have contact with the Milky Way) I don't care.
I believe he sees the Mako's wheels as like Lego vehicle wheels, and the environment in the Mako driving screenshot as like a SWTOR barren level with similar style (can't tell much from a screenshot like that though imo). And maybe even the Hero as more of an action figure than before.
Things looking like toys, I think.
Fair nuff. It's a very first pass materials/texture on the vehicle there, so not particularly representative yet. Far as I can tell our art direction hasn't been stylized at all like TOR.
Not really. Even flashing forward 500 years, Liara, Grunt, Wrex and maybe Samara would still be alive.
True, but the reason I dislike that is because any of these chracter are too strongly connected with Shepard. Let Shepard's story be Shepard's story.

Basically, they had no idea how the write themselves out of the mess that was ME3's ending, so they'll just to another galaxy and pretend like it never happened.

- @masseffect #SDCC - panel has wrapped, but I'll be pulling more info from my recorded audio and posting more details soon.
It's over guys.
New galaxy
Old characters returning
These points seem to contradict each other.
Panel DONE.
Confusion INTENSIFIES.
SPECULATIONS.
I'm disappointed. Not that I expect much, but oh well. Maybe at Gamescom...

People seem to be forgetting that your first point is speculation.
Quite possible, and maybe likely, but speculation.
Edit: Actually, BOTH are speculation.

Mass Effect is nothing without its characters.

Possible exploration of a galaxy beyond the Milky Way by Council races?
Couldn't have put it better myself SwobyJ.

- @masseffect #SDCC - You will see a bit of old with the new (old characters MAY appear) !!
wtf....
Just....no. Please, no.
So, cool...
It's set somewhere in space. We get to explore (WITH THE MAKO!). It will indeed have characters (might mean just races though?), possibly recurring characters. We are an N7.
Okay class, let's compare it to what we knew before.
It's set in space. We get to explore. It's going to have characters. Main character is N7....
Today I learned about the Mako...
Mass Effect is nothing without its characters.
The old one. The new one should have new characters.
Well that was disappointing other then a few concept shots did we learn anything new? We already had the new galaxy possibly reboot info for a while.
