Serious question:

Weren't they experimenting with FPS previous to the release of ME3, but it got abandoned, and the team was turned over to multiplayer?

Or am I just utterly, ludicrously misremembering that?

NO.

I hate prequels. I really hate prequels. Even the good ones.

ME4 should be about beating the stargazer with a Pyjak BBQ.

They actually could do a trilogy of films that way. Mama Shepard fighting in the First Contact War (with "young" Anderson and non-cybernetic Saren), and then some movies following the fraternal Shepard twins as they do battle with Saren and his allies, with the introduction of Sovereign and then Harbinger. Maybe replace Geth with Collectors, have the big reveal that the Collectors are re-engineered Protheans working for the Reapers at the end of the second film, before one of the Shepard twins dies destroying the Collector Base and giving the middle finger to the Alliance whackjob who wants to use it for its advanced technology.

Then the third game can be all "We have to destroy the Omega Relay to stop the Reapers" and big space battles, with a final steeple chase to activate a super weapon to protect the Sol system.

Which then destroys all Reapers.

I don't mind FPS w/ RPG if they keep quality RPG, but like it was said if they lose the party system, there is too much competition out there. I don't see a point in losing that.

The overwhelming response from people was that they wanted to move forward, but they may need to do a prequel to give people a chance to forget about the endings and craft a decent retcon. I'd rather see them do that than just slap a retcon together, because face facts, they are going to have to reconcile the endings to move forward. (hello -- sweep them under the rug and pretend MEHEM was canon -- lol).

Give them a chance, FFS. Characters are what make Bioware. If they lose characters, I'm gone.

I would have believed it if they said it's an MMOTPS.

[drayfish]

As for the premise itself, that was rather exactly what I was expecting (although still in the 3rd person perspective).* This way the diverse choices that plagued the developers in three get to be ignored in service of a more focused, 'immersive' (read: 'explosions') experience, while the marketing before release gets to blame players for that decision.

'We had a story to tell that players love, but we realised that we didn't want to invalidate any of the decisions that they might have made in the original trilogy.  So we stripped that confusing branching storyline stuff back and made it a more intense, personal story.  More about the character, and their experience in this crucial point of the Mass Effect lore. ...You know, like players have always wanted. ...Because of players.'




EDIT:

* Indeed, didn't the Citadel DLC drop all sorts of hints about the First Contact wars, and Anderson's activities throughout it?  (I've not actually played that DLC, so that is a legitimate question...)

If this is true then ALL of Mass Effect can go f*** itself.

[Artifex_Imperius]

anyway whats wrong with the first contact war. its very interesting?

[Giga Drill BREAKER]

tbh with the way Bioware is going it wouldn't surprise me, but if it does happen it will definitely be a used copy purchase for me, because with all likelihood it will only be 5-10 hrs long and that is not worth 60 euros. Hell ME3 was barely worth 60 Euros.

In Citadel, Anderson says in one if the interview pads that he meat his first Spectre in a bar, the day after his N7 graduation. This is an inconstancy because in the revelation novel, it is established that Anderson was an N7 soldier before the FCW started.
I also wonder how they'd deal with the events of Evolution and their inconsistencies. Probably best to stay away from most established characters in the new game.
I am sure we'd meet Grissom though, which would be nice.

I do not agree. It's a scifi trope that's been stale for about sixty years. Humans meet aliens; aliens hostile; humans win.

TBF they didn't really win, it was more of a cease fire.

[dirtdiver32318]

ME FPS no thank you I would leave that alone. But honestly it wouldn't surprise me that they would try this.

[InvincibleHero]

It is not a game I would care to play. I am hoping we can choose between all the species within reason say council races in the next game. You could maybe throw in geth or quarians too or krogans (can never have enough of them) as a playable character.

[OdanUrr]

We shall see.

 FIRST PERSON SHOOTER?

OH HEELLLLL NNNOOO

BIOWARE HOW DARE YOU. STAHP. PLEASE.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
nnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo

*sobs*

Oh god, no.

*holds out hands*

*kneels on ground*

No.

[Archonsg]

I don't care if its a TPS or FPS, seriously, shooters are shooters to me.
What I do care about is the story.
Ever since ME3's abysmal ending we are stuck going *backwards*.

No DLC to tell what happens next.
No DLC to move the story forward.
And now *if* the rumors are true, a new series going back to a story that is not only already covered. Its end is already known?

By Tyr's right buttocks!
(yes, I am replaying NWN2 )
Can we just move the story *FORWARD*?
Please?

My initial reaction to this rumor:  Copulate that excrement.

Ah, the old "I'm a legitimate source" trick. Can be completely trusted.

Even if it's not true, what's the point of having a Mass Effect game take place in that particular time period? We already know the majority of what happened during that time and prequels are mostly there to expand on a character's history or a certain event that leads up to the main course.

Which is not needed in this case, because there's nothing left of significance in the FCW that'd add to anything when it comes to the story about the Reapers, except Saren and his shenanigans, but there has already been so much content about him and the events that lead up to him meeting Sovereign that telling it from a slightly different point of view would just be redundant. Not to mention boring.

Move forward and expand on the different races and cultures after the great war instead. We only got a glimpse of the alien homeworlds in ME3 and I think it'd be a shame to waste an opportunity to really go somewhere with them and their associated cultures and societies just for the sake of having a dull and unnecessary prequel.

it really does, doesn't it?

[Addictress]

I don't like it when they introduce too many races. That's why I don't like a lot of fantasy franchises, because they introduce this! and that! and basically dilute the universe with too many wild cards.

It is also more realistic to assume that in one galaxy - our galaxy, the number of different species is small enough to justify the great silence we have known all these millennia, and that it is somewhat miraculous for life to develop to complex levels.

Although Mass Effect's universe has the idea that "every world could be a home to a different form of life" and that evolution is an imperative force of nature per Javik, at the same time, getting carried away with wild card creatures will cheapen the universe and the experience.

obviously not true.

say what you will about Bioware, or how you think they dealt with Mass Effect 3, but they are smarter then to turn a franchise that has always been an RPG/TPS hybrid into an FPS. besides, have you ever seen Bioware make an FPS before? didn't think so..

besides, if i remember the FCW didn't last all that long.


Either way, its obviously just someone trying to tick people off... surprisingly common act on the in the recent years...

Have you ever seen Bioware make a TPS before? no they didn'... oh... they did.

this is probably true.

ME has become something ive become less and less interested in with every installation.

ill just spend more on CEs of the next bioshock or fallout 4.

[Volc19]

This would literally be the worst thing they could do.

Like, ever. It would be a grade-B Halo ripoff at best.

The universe they created is vast and full of opportunity. To squander that fixating on a war that lasted ten minutes, which we know the outcome of no less, would be a waste to say the least.
