I don't think logic ever kept EA from doing something stupid. Dollar they understand, but logic? Nah. Can't sell that. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a prequel.

Someone ought to warn them about prequels. Someone on this thread said "For everyone who hates prequels, there's someone who loves them." That's not a very comforting statistic in this business even if it was true.

ME3 sold somewhere in the region of 3 million, right? Well, that Kingdoms of Amalur thing that we had to play the demo of to get the chakram launcher sold around 1.2 million, and where's the studio that made it now?

Logic? So long as people buy it, it's logical to make it.

The Mass Effect universe is a place full of possibilities but after the end of Mass Effect 3 i feel like any other game in the series is completely pointless.

[SackofCat]

Play as SpecTRe might work. A game that has no relevance to the ME3 ending may work. Or
ME: Total Retcon..

While I support peoples' right to say they'd rather see a prequel than a sequel, I strongly disagree with them.

The problem with a Mass Effect prequels is that anyone who has played the Shepard trilogy already knows how the prequel is going to end, thanks to the codex or in game dialogue in ME1 through ME3. Who wants to play an RPG where the outcome is predetermined, and where the player has no influence upon the ending?

The other issue is that all the prequel settings would take place in a smaller universe with less factions. The First Contact War for example would just involve humans and Turians, while the humans and Turians wouldn't be around for the Rachni Wars.

Sequels are the way to go.

The endings of Mass Effect 3 are radically different, depending on what you choose. Considering the whole fiasco with the quality of the original endings, and that the Extended Cut DLC is free, it would make no sense for Bioware to suddenly say that they are going to make one ending canon while the rest are not. If Bioware wanted that, then the Extended Cut would have focused primarily on one of the endings, with slight variations so that if a sequel was intended, it would be much easier to make one.

With a prequel, we can delve into parts of the Mass Effect galaxy that were missed in the Trilogy. We could see Palevan, Sur'Kesh or Thessia in all its glory. We could perhaps have conversations with characters like Nihilus before he died, perhaps work with him. These are only a couple of examples, but I think a sequel would be too much of a hassle from a story perspective.

Well, lots of us actually would have liked ME3 to end in a way that left the universe intact for a possible sequel. But BioWare think we are evil scum and their fanboys call us "haters" and say they'd like a game where you can shoot us. 

[ghost9191]

wait, just saying but you started a threat about a prequel so ppl would stop talki9ng about a prequel?

[anmiro]

I would really like to see ME returns to its RPG roots.

[R3MUS]

Prequels suck anyways. I hate prequels. Going back in time. I want to keep moving forward.


Sequels > Prequels.

[Seifer006]

@OP

I'm actually all for Prequels.

I don't see why their wrong...It's the Developers that fail not the Story. If you hate the Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions, First Contact Wars, Jack Harper & Rise of Cerberus, Shanxi etc...

then you shouldn't be a ME fan

so I'll keep talking to Bioware on making Prequels since I like to see Rachni Wars & Krogan Rebellions

Anyone read the Mass Effect novel Revelation? It was awesome. If they could make a prequel tha'ts as good as that book, I'm all for it. Honestly, I want new Mass Effect games til I'm 60. And then, I'll just start all over again.

That writer is sadly gone from BW.

Some Wrex, Zaeed, Warlord Okeer

maybe Samara (1000yrs old?) man, that's a lot of history (and her battling Nihlus) be interesting

shoooot

I almost want to mention Harbinger, but it's probably best to keep him a Mystery. Unless you can create something...................that is mind blowing

do you realize that Drew had worse concept of an ending?

It's not like just because Drew left the game failed.

No.

Also, any future games do not need Shepard.

It would be set in the mass effect universe but it doesn't have to be shep

Worse according to you.
Moreover, good job comparing a vague, incomplete story outline to a supposedly finished job.
Then again attempting to compare Walters' ending to anything resembling a complete work would backfire so badly it's no wonder you don't do it.
