To be honest it was too linear with too much focus on shooting in ME3, Now with the gears producer you cannot be naieve enough to think it will go back to it's rpg roots, EA plus gears guy plus the ME3 MP team making the next ME mean pew pew a hell ovalot.

So they are making a new ME game, but it will take place in an entirely new fictional universe.
Why not just create a new franchise then? Why slap the ME name on it?

I told you.... Elephant Theory.
The framework of the MEU with none of the baggage. Except it looks like they're going further than I expected. They're sweeping Shepard's trilogy under the rug altogether. They'll probably say the relays and stuff were built by this mysterious race called the Protheans that vanished 50,000 years ago. Did they leave the galaxy? Did they die out? Who knows?
The year is 2200. New characters. They can even use the same races! Just no reapers. Go for it.

Ugh, so alternate universe? Rental for sure. No matter what they do, this is going to be a bitter pill. The game will have to be really really good to counteract this.

Sounds to me like they're planning to pick a different cycle. Likely the Prothean one.
I remember I played Halo 2 before I knew the story of the original. I found the Arbiter's storyline more interesting than the Master Chief's. A title with a customizeable non-human protagonist might be interesting.

I could be wrong, but "completely new fictional universe" implies to me everything is new, races included.

The Protheans and Rachni are the only known races from Javik's cycle. The Inusannon cycle before that is a complete unknown.ShepnTali wrote...

Going by these comments, I don't know that it sounds like a prequel if it *may* recognize past choices.
“What we will do is tell a new story set in the Mass Effect universe,” explains BioWare Montreal studio director Yanick Roy on the company’s forum.
“That doesn’t mean that events of the first three games and the choices you made won’t get recognised, but they likely won’t be what this new story will focus on.”

Going on what they've said so far:
* The events of the first three games and the choices you made might be recognized/alluded to.
* They're starting afresh, creating a completely new fictional universe.
Both can't be literally true, I'm guessing that the *completely new* was meant metaphorically to put emphasis on it being very different.
My guess is this:
It's a sequel, but the events of the first 3 games will only be alluded to in very generic terms so they don't commit to any of the three endings. How do they do this? The Mass Relay network was severely damaged (albeit not destroyed) at the end of the game, in ME4 the Galaxy could be fragmented with certain sectors of the Galaxy still cut off from others due to some primary Relays being damaged beyond repair. E.g In this sector of the Galaxy nobody knows whether the genophage was successfully cured because half of former council space was cut off from the rest of the Galaxy due to damaged relays. Nobody is quite sure about what happened on Earth because the Local Cluster was cut off from the rest of the Galaxy along with most of council space. The only way I can see them being able to make a sequel is by making everything very vague and uncertain and by setting it in an isolated part of the Galaxy, for example setting it in the Terminus Systems after links with the rest of the Galaxy have been severed due to damaged Relays.

I have a list of amazing ideas:
Kart Racing
2D Fighting
Party minigames
Dancing (Only on Kinect)
Karaoke
This cracked me up. Gotta give Mario a run for his money with Mass Effect Kart.

It's not happening, Julia.
Give it up, David. Hand-waving is going to happen. They're moving forward. They're going to sweep the RGB under the rug and pretend it never happened in the first place. Then they set the next game about 75 - 100 years in the future from the end of ME3. Then the write the Codex Entry for "The Reaper War". Make no save game import. That's how it is done.
Hand-waving, David. Hand-waving.
Wouldnt be too surprised, as looking at the series, they really like to use handwaving.

It should be a spin-off regarding some mundane political dispute between the Salarian union and Systems Alliance, resulting in a political crisis.

A Krogan rebellions spin-off, where depending on your choices or the side you choose, you can actually take an alternate path in the game lore.
