Sequel. It has more possibilities, and less predictibilty. There will never be big commercial hype over a prequel. They could do something ambitious and travel thousands of years into time and create a new threat if they really wanted to. People can say they don't care about commercialism, but this game needs to sell in order for it to continue.

This!

We all know what happened before thanks to Codex, novel, comics. It will be more interesting to know what the future will be.

A SEQUEL WILL CANONIZE AN ENDING. THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.

And yes I am being serious. i may be an adamant Destroy supporter but canonizing any ending would be disaster upon disaster.

Sequel. And if BW are having trouble fitting the begining of ME4 in after the end of ME3, retcon the ending of ME3 into something that feels like it's a part of the same franchise and gameplay.

The last thing I want to see is a prequel being made because making a sequel is 'to hard' with the endings they chose to go with. They made em, now they too have to live with them or, if they cannot, change them.

A sequel will also ask the question few are asking:

If the Reapers were our self styled gaurdians, what is coming out of the dark now their so called solution is no longer in effect?

Nothing has to 'come out of the dark.' The Reapers were not protecting anyone from anything. The political/economic/social conditions are disrupted enough that no galactic threat is necessary, there's so many stories that could be told as it is that no outside threat is needed. At all.

In fact, it's one of the worst tropes of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It's *always* getting invaded from 'outside'.

I would like a sequel.

[Brass_Buckles]

I want a sequel, not a prequel.

I want to see what becomes of the ME-verse. I also believe that if we get a sequel, we'll either get a multiple-choice selection, or the ability to port in a game save to check for our decisions. Whatever the plot is, it's not going to rely heavily on these details and so it will be possible to have things change in minor ways based on what happened in ME1-ME3. So no, synthesis won't be canon, neither will Control or Destruction.

Also, perhaps not all the Reapers were within the range of the explosion during the ending, thus even if you chose Destruction, there could still be Reapers, and maybe even geth.

I don't want something concurrent. And I don't want a prequel. With a prequel, I'd know the outcome already, and possibly would not have the choice to be human. With a concurrent story you have the problem that most people didn't believe in the Reapers during the trilogy's timeframe, and that Shepard had the primary role in dealing with them--so what role will this new person play that could compare well enough that you don't feel "let down" having played this game?

It's Mass Effect 4. Let's move the story forward, not backward.

Neither!!

The trilogy hit a brick wall storywise. I don't want ME4 to have to deal with the crucible, the catalyst and all that illogical, nonsensical story stuff.

Let's just forget what happened at ME1-3 and create something new.

Same races, same epic atmosphere, same eezo/mass effect setting, different story. But no reapers, no catalyst, no goddam synthesis. Surely there are different stories to tell in such a big galaxy.

You know, it's something I hadn't actually considered before, but... I think you might be onto something there.

An alternate universe Mass Effect... different conflicts, etc.  You could even still be Shepard, or one of the squadmates, or replace Shepard with a character of your choice in DA:O style...  The story would be different, because the conflict would be different.  What if we could play in a ME-verse where the Leviathans were in control, for instance?

Still, for continuity's sake, since I doubt the alternate universe option is going to take, I'm going to say "sequel."

[lynch108]

Sequel. Prequels suck. Already know the ultimate outcome. Same problem as the current SP dlcs have in my opinion. Which is why I'm not buying them.

[game-zerox]

I'm for a sequel, because knowing we need the ability to be able to play a human, the only thing a prequel would go for is the first contact war. A side story might be acceptable, but I'd still prefer a sequel.

[diggisaur]

Sequel. The Mass Effect Trilogy only covers the Milky Way Galaxy. Could easily be a different galaxy.

[Shadow Storm]

I would prefer a sequel but there is no way they can do it too close to the events of ME3 without ruining it completely! Perhaps if it was set 1000 years after the events of ME3 along with a heck of alot of lore bridging then it would likely be passable and opens up many new and exciting possibilities. I personally would love to see a free-roam friendly multi based game that is a cross between KOTOR, Red Dead Redemption and Dragons Dogma but i know that will never happen. Think of it...

1. 25 or more large areas of the citadel where people can meet and greet other players and launch missions which vary from day to day or even week whatever the case may be including commons. (I vote for a bar with bourbon)
2. Purchase own fully customisable ship and upgrades (along with classes, Dreadnaught, cruiser etc aswell as the ability to recruit randoms and friends from across the citadel and other planets for the crew. That and space battles.
3. Fully customisable characters, weapons and equipment with special shops for each.
4. New races and the possibility of engaging love interests with random NPCs on the citadel or other planets aswell as story NPCs.
5. All new threats that must be kept in check just like the Readiness map. (Set up like current multi with species such as Rachni, Leviathan, new species, Krogan population getting restless, threats from Dark space etc)
6. Of course story missions that are engaging, lengthy and draw the same level of emotion as ME1, 2 and 3 story wise. (characters like Liara, Tali and Garrus for example that make the story all the more interesting.

Just a few of the top of my head but if something like this was announced i would be pre-ordering it along with all extras the minute i even hear of it! : ) Now this prospect sounds exciting and i doubt people would be dragging their heels at this idea. (well apart from the career haters you can't please them all)

Sequel.

Unless you go back before humanities appearance on the galactic stage there is only two events you can really focus on. The First Contact War and the Reaper Invasion.   We all know how the events end up and we all know what its about. 

You could do an event like Mass Effect:Galaxy. Some sort of secretive plot where you save the galaxy.  But again theres no real feeling as we all know the outcome and that it will have no real effect on the wider universe.   A sequel in my eyes is therefore the only way to go.  Uncharted terriotory with lots of potential. No treading over old ground.

[CrazyRah]

Sequel.

Mostly because i tend to find prequels rather boring and that they have to take care of the events that will happen after it that's explored in previous titles, unless massive retcons are going to be used which is just horrible

[SoldierGryphon]

When you think about it, half synthetic digitized humans kind of brings some fresh ideas in. But that might be too wierd (as every race would be). It'd be safer to choose destroy as canon.

[Redbelle]

The only successful Prequels I can think of are:

MGS3 - Snake Eater

and

Star Trek - Enterprise, season 4 when Manny Coto took over. Yep, cutting out the previous 3 seasons....... though I may go over that decision regarding season 3, which is borderline.

Anyway. avoid a prequel. They need a certain understanding of how to produce one that is good and fits lore.

And frankly, I think ME4 will be under much heavier scutiny as a result of ME3's ending. So avoiding this sort of thing till the fans cease being worried about BW's output quality would be the smart move.

Plus, it seems nearly everyone wants a sequel.

Since you mentioned Star Trek:

"Enterprise" is mediocre at best. It was bad in the first two sessions and turned out better in the last 2 - but died too early. My main issue with the series is the Temporal Cold War which is complete nonsense and should have been cut out. I also didn't like the way how the Vulcans got displayed - they felt more like a bunch of space racists similar to the Romulans than Vulcans in my eyes ... well.

But the worst excuse for a prequel is the newest Star Trek film. Abrams killed the franchise in my eyes. The one and only good role in the movie was filled by Karl Urban as Doc McCoy, who -really- got an idea how to do his part. Worst is Scotty, followed by Chekov.

Aaaawwww, I loved that film. Sure it was different. But it had punch ups and fricken phaser beams. And an almost gleefully cheeky approach to the source material while pulling out the punch's and delivering them right when they were called for.

Scotty was.......... a brave choice. And I do miss the original character. Sadly he was one of the first of the cast to pass away from a condition. And say what you like about Simon Pegg. He loves his Sci-Fi and knew the character. He may not fit the character, but he does chanal his love of Scotty.

Anyway. Enterprise's cold war certainly went nowhere quickly. I think that's why ot was wrapped up so fast. And Manny Coto came off Odyssey 5 where he threw out old concept with fresh new twists. It was then when ST felt like a relevant sci-fi show that wasn't serving up reheated leftovers.

Unfortunately, many felt Manny was handed a poisoned chalice as the decision to axe Enterprise had already been made. But he left a tremendously good final season behind. Even if the shows producer cocked it up by writing the final episode that was so out of context. Failed to deliver the same energy as Manny's scripts and ultimately went down as the worst episode in the season that came right at the end.

I resisting drawing paralel's here.......... ResssiiiiiisssssssT:pinched:

[Ghost Down]

Prequel... also I wanna be able to play as a Krogan!

[MassStorm]

Sequel without a doubt.

As for me Destroy should be canon because it let the writers to be free to create new stories, and threats of a post-reaper society which is not perfect and still full problems. Most importantly Destroy leave self-determiantion to every organic race in the galaxy. (Geth & EDI can be rebuilt)

On the other hand i would not like Control because either every threat is automatically vanquished by the Reapers or the Reapers go rougue but then is the same story all over again.

Synthesis aside from being the most hated ending from the majority create many problem and change the ME universe in his very roots. In such utopian world with unlimited knowledge it is difficult to create a convincing storyline for the new game.

Obviously i would love to see every ending being represented in ME4 but we all know this is not going to happen due to resource issue. Canonizing is inevitable in my modest opinion if we want a quality sequel.

Sequel.
Prequels are boring because you already know that somehow everything will turn out to be alright in the end. Also everything that happens before Mass Effect pales in comparison to the Reaper threat.
Really not interested in what happened before.

Not sure if I want sequel...or if I just want the franchise to be left alone.

[Omega Torsk]

Just forget sequels. We are past the point of sequels. There is nothing to build off on. Leave it alone and allow us to headcanon.

A prequel sounds fine.
