Bioware would have a lot of explaining to do.
Seriously, they would have to explain it to me, because I wouldn't understand it. Are they trying to reboot, re-imagine, play with mirror universe tropes or what?

I think it would be more like a reboot like DC's New52.

I'd rather they make it take place between ME1 and ME2 in the "missing" 2 year span playing as a Cerberus team.

Considering that the long-running contradicting mythos concept is what keeps me away from most comic books, I wouldn't be too fond of the idea.

I actually would be happy to see a new game start around the same time as ME, in an alternate universe where reapers do not exist.
I'm sure that is too much for some people, but I don't need the backdrop to change. The only thing I am really tired of is reapers. They are done and over, so now I either want to see a setting where the Reaper conflict is resolved, or it never existed in the first place.
I think this kind of alternative universe with no reapers is a better option than a prequel before the ME trilogy.

I don't know, I mean it'd feel weird, but if they could explain it well then I'd go for it. Something not unlike the new Star Trek reboot would be cool, instead of just doing a reboot.

I wouldn't care... so long as the characters and story is more interesting... and my character is relatable... still can't relate to Shepard...

Hahaha in an alternative universe ME3 had a cool ending where Harbinger's mind was the central hub that controlled all other Reaper forces. Shepard and squad board Harbinger and plant the Catalyst (Javik) inside its core who then takes control of the crucible via the Reaper network and remote controls it to self-destruct all Reapers, giving his people revenge and dying a hero's death. Shep and squad must hold off the indoctrinated Cerberus grunts who are inside Harbinger until Javik has time to do his part.
The crew board the Normandy while Javik is making everything go boom. The Protheans are remembered as heros to all and Shepard lives.
If only you'd have thought of it first Bioware, if only. You had such a good hand to play but u folded

It would be much better than these prequel rumours I've been hearing about. But maybe it doesn't have to be an alternate universe, being in an alternate galaxy, say the Andromeda galaxy could work and leave open the possibility of characters from both galaxies converging in future games to fight a common enemy.

I suppose in case they cant line characters up for voices they would have to make a prequel right after making a series..

I wouldn't necessarily mind this concept, but a prequel would be atrocious in my opinion.

I approve, rebooting is the only way to fix the mess created by ME3's ending. Or, if you are more critical about the trilogy, the mess that started at ME2.
I don't think the Reapers should be removed, but removing the CatalyStalin, dark energy, tech singularity and Leviathans would be good.

I wouldn't be fond of it.
I'd rather Bioware created a new IP instead of pressing the reset button on the Shepard trilogy, and pretending nothing from the last 5 years and 3 games happened.

Who said a reboot would have to include Shepard? Or even any of the characters we know?
Same universe concept, different characters.

Bioware would need a fanbase 10x bigger for them to endure a reboot...

That could be an interesting game. Just so long as it wasn't Jacob.

I would be upset. I want the same universe but in a different time.ImperatorMortis wrote...

I would be okay with this. Or a Mass Effect game that simply ignores the ME3 endings. All characters know there was a "Reaper war", but they don't go into detail what actually happened.

Orgasmic.
(first off, I love marvel/dc, second, they would also be pulling a star trek, a doctor who, a red dwarf, a star gate SG1, they'd basically be pulling off every other concept that deals with sci-fi.)
It's a fitting and logical situation to make the next mass effect a mirror reality with obscure differences.
Though upon it's release, I could see many people who would claim that it would be a game trying to be Borderlands2 (not being very different from the first game) Or claiming that the next mass effect was trying to captivate the Bioshock infinite fanbase with the concept of a dual reality complex. . . (even though it would just be following Sci-fi standard scenarios which was kicking around for far longer)

As long as whatever they are making is good.
I would prefer if it's just set in the future of the mass effect universe, after the reaper story was concluded.
