My fear is that bioware will attempt to listen too much to their fanbase and thus, create a game that tries to be too many things at once and please too many people, and thus pleases no one.

This fanbase imagination is limited, it's taste are narrow, and it's ego is large, not a good combination to have lots of control over a story.

Ya know - If I truly cared anymore about the direction Bioware was going with Mass Effect.  I would wholeheartedly agree with this.  And list it as a number one "fear" or concern.  And I would hope they write it out this time instead of winging it from beginning to end.  Some fan input is ok, but to the extent ME 2 and 3 was doing it - the story/trilogy lost a bit of integrity because of it.   But I guess thats bioware for ya - find somthing good or wrong with one thing and then go completely overboard with it seems to be their norm.

So yea, basically... +1 to post.

My fear: it will become less focused on story and RPG-elements, be more focused on combat and action and explosions, and be all about the multiplayer, microtransactions, and dlc.

[Galbrant]

Things I fear

1. More Day one DLC and Microtransactions. according to EA we are embracing them. So I guess we are going to deal with garbage like this so much for getting everything in the game like normal.

2. Any of the endings are canon. Especially the Borg Ending.

3. Leviathan as villains What's better than having an army of Reapers led by one of the most idiotic insipid A.I.s of all time? The big dumb cuttlefishes that made him in the first place.

4. They retain the current dialog wheel and continue having more autodialog. So much for roleplaying.

5. Forcing the avatar having emotions.  Don't make the player feel something he or she does not.  If the player wants to feel it let him/her choose it. 

6. They rush it like they did with ME3. Give the game the development time it needs.  That way those damn face imports would work.

My biggest concern is that it will be a rushed and unpolished product due to EA's strict deadlines.

EDIT: Just like the guy above me said ^^ I'm also concerned about microtansactions becoming prominent within the SP game, though hopefully EA will keep it to MP where it works.

My biggest fear is that it will essentialy be a history lesson (Rachni wars, First Contact war, Krogan Rebellions, exc. exc.).

[SwordofMercy1]

Please. All that I feared for the series came true in ME3. How could ME4 possibly be any worse?

I think a lot of peoples fears may come true:

"The other thing I can tell you is that, while it will be very respectful of the heritage built over the course of the first three games, with the original trilogy now concluded and the switch over to a new engine, we are exploring new directions, both on the gameplay and story fronts. You can still expect the pillars the franchise is known for to be fully intact though, including diverse alien races, a huge galaxy to explore, and of course rich, cinematic storytelling."


I think this means that it won't be a RPG. What else could it be other than a FPS?

How about a non-RPG FPS?

[sr2josh]

My biggest fear is that it will be a dreadful FPS Halo-like linear prequel.   This was already a rumor floating on the forums.  I'm a Mass Effect FREAK but would immediately abandon this IP if ME4 is like this.

While I do have a serious fear that the next game will be a FPS Halo rip-off, nothing in the above paragraph says the next game will be FPS.  Praying that my fear will not become reality though.

[N7-RedFox]

I don't like prequels because no matter how it ends, you already know what comes next and how that next part ends so a prequel is rather weak and pointless.

I hope ME4 is a direct sequel

My biggest fear is that they ignore the story in favor of action and set pieces. While I do enjoy a good firefight and spectacle, I personally play ME for the story first and foremost.

I also fear that they will marginalize the species we have come to know and love, ie. no more Krogan, Geth, or Quarians because they could all possibly be at some level of extinction/near extinction by ME3's end.

Lastly, I really really really do not want a prequel, unless it is more a one-off spinoff and not considered the true follow up to the ME trilogy.

This...it could be SO MANY things.  An RTS like StarCraft. A turn-base RPG like X-COM:Enemy Unknown, An FPS-RPG like Deus Ex:Human Revolution, An open-world game like Saints Row/GTA, A Stealth-style game (FP or TP) like Thief, An Action-RPG like Diablow,  I can go on but you get the point...just because they're "exploring new directions in gameplay and story" doesn't, in ANY WAY, mean it MUST be an FPS.

I agree.

That statement basically just says, "With Shepard's story concluded, the next Mass Effect game will have an original story. There will also be some gameplay differences because of the new engine."

Nothing in that statement says it won't be an RPG.

[Usefull_idiot]

That it will be a prequel. Mass Effect + Prequel = No solution. It's like dividing by 0.

Frostbite engine is FPS and TPS.  Yes, I think could be like Deus Ex:HR, but with less rpg elements.

 That they will keep it to the trilogy. They need to explore something new.

[NeonFlux117]

Not really a fear. More of an inevitability. I think ME4 will be very, very linear. Think ME3 times 5. More shooter way less RPG. This is where the series is heading. Count on it. Shooters= money. EA luvs money. MOAR money!!!!

You should probably be very afraid.

This+no planned ending+synthesis canon+ubiquitous auto-dialogue+dumbed down RPG elements+no s/s squadmate.

Worst fears? First person shooter, not Shepard (I know...) and a prequel. I mean it'd be interesting but I know the ending...Mass Effect is based on choices and forging your own story. A prequel defeats the purpose of it and leaves out big decisions because they are already made for you. I personally think Biowares in a tough position, with EA slowly going to **** and pressure from the fans. I could understand the a story will be dramatically different or a prequel because of the lack of ideas. Apparently they already decided on something since they started development but I won't be surprised if they do a prequel. I just hope they don't. My number one dream is Halo 4 Style. Shepard lives and they find out the reapers are just the front line of defense. The keepers of light or being of light or whatever and the real threat and a new adventure comes out of that. If your not sure what I'm referring to, look it up. Or maybe a dark energy crisis, like what talk mentioned about Haestroms Star. IDK. Jus take me puke from excitement from this next installment bioware. Because I'm a hardcore fan and expect a lot. GOOD LUCK!

[PsyrenY]

As much as I like Synthesis, I don't want it to be canon either. It just wouldn't be possible to relate to a galaxy full of green-eyed superbeings.

I predict, if we stay in the same continuity, that there will be a compromise between Control and Destroy.
