Well, according to this

http://www.psu.com/a...least-two-years

"ME4" seems to be already in developement for a full year, so obviously BioWare has already decided by now if the game is a prequel/sequel to the ME3 ending.

Personally, if the game will take place after ME3 ending and not relate in terms of context to Shepard and his companions, then it still counts as a game unrelated to the trilogy, but in the same universe, so let's keep our fingers crossed for a sequel!

I want to see the Mikly Way after the Reaper War!

Cmon BioWare, do it! (or should I say - keep up the good work - if you're making a sequel).

Probably something involving the Leviathans or the Yahg. I can see either being a threat to galactic stability

The series needs to move forward. Not backwards or "same time period" as Shepard. This cycle is spoken for. The last cycles failed. Move forward. Forward thinking.

It's a good thing.

They're in active production for ME4, yeah. Initial scripts I think done as well?

So far my thoughts are that it may be both after and during the timeline of ME1-3, but hey, that's actually a complete and total guess so..

But their words in that (now old) article fit my predictions. Late 2014 at earliest, late 2015 at latest. More likely they'll now focus on Dragon Age: Inquisition for late 2014 and get Mass Effect out for late 2015, both in time for holiday gift buying...

EDIT: So to be clear, it seems the release focus may be
2013 - Star Wars: The Old Republic space combat 'expansion'
2014 - Dragon Age: Inquisition, SWTOR, maybe more
2015 - Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC and/or expansion, 'Mass Effect 4', SWTOR, maybe more
2016 - 'Mass Effect 4' DLC and/or expansion, SWTOR, maybe more, ????

2015-2016 for unveil of what their new IP will be. 2014 is possible but imo unlikely.

So yeah a huge future for Bioware but it's up to you if you want to be a part of it. I'll see about it, myself. DA:I and ME4 both need to be great for me to get back on the 'preorder/collectorsedition/purchase/dlc' train.

Personally, I would prefer them to take their time up till 2015 and polish the game in every aspect. Last thing we need is a rushed game (once again) due to deadlines.

We want fleshed out characters, they don't need to be numerous, but let their quality be high and consistent through the entire game.

2015 the earliest they could go for. like me2 i think there gonna do a surprise launch. keeping all a secret till release.

I hope we'll get mindblown like durning ME2 release info. Good times.

[Podge 90]

Space and stuff, I guess.

I too want a more personal journey. I want "Shepard" working a 7-5 job and struggling to pay his rent, and then coming across your everday galactic-scale obstacles that come with such problems, so as to get the feeling of exploration back from ME1.

A central antagonist would be great, some one like Saren. He or she has to have a major presence, and feel like a threat. The moment you see this person you know he is dangerous and he is up to something shifty, but he will keep his head about him. Mass Effect needs a truly great villian that doesn't have redeeming qualities, someone truly twisted and dangerous.

Sometimes I wish Saren had the same role as Palpatine in Star Wars - that he should have been present till the very end of the entire series and at the end of ME3 his fate would be shaped (as everything else), by Shepard's actions.

Saren died too quickly in the series and it's bad that he was replaced by a smoking brandy addict wearing a Vistula shirt.

I'd love for the next Mass Effect to deal with the Krogan Rebellions. Oh, and by Krogan Rebellions, I don't mean past tense, I mean AFTER the Reapers. So basically, the Krogans just start reproducing like crazy and reclaim their lost worlds. They aquire the support of the Blood Pack, and/or any other Mercenary or Anti-Council groups.

Yeah, they'd do that again because it went so ****ing well for them last time...

I just want a sequel, or at least something set between 2183-2186. I don't want a prequel that just covers things I already know in detail, I want something new and fresh. There's so much they could do with a sequel, and the only thing standing in the way is the ME3 endings. Maybe if the choices hadn't been so huge and different, then it wouldn't have been a problem. But it's hard to make a sequel when the 3 possible outcomes are; Reapers + Synthetics dead, Reapers alive, Reapers alive + everyone cyborgs.

Personally, I want to see a game with us building and leading a merc group out in the Terminus Systems. Such a setting could be filled with all kinds of interesting characters. You could be "good" Paragon mercs, like Garrus' old group, or you could be outright space pirates (renegade). Choice would be yours.

Wrap that around some story, but one that isn't of galaxy-wide epic scale. Allow us to customize our spaceship with upgrades. We can choose what sort of ships we attack. Rich merchant vessels, or perhaps other pirates? When we board and take a ship, what do we do with the crew? Ransom them off, let them go, kill them all?

So many possibilities.

This could be really great, like an Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood type of game. As long as it's a mid-quel or sequel, I'd be very happy with a game like this.

[SwobyJ]

Honestly if I had to be a merc group and only that, I might just pass.

Not that I dislike the concept, it just never clicks with me personally. It's why I almost never pick 'Rogues' in things unless it's a super super broad concept of it. (Vanguard in ME normally)

[Ranger Jack Walker]

I'd rather not have a game involving a galaxy wide huge threat. How abou t something a bit more grounded. The setting and universe of mass effect is amazing and I would love to see a more small scale take on it.

By small scale, I don't mean less content or exploration.

I think small scale can still have huge implications, so I'd enjoy that.

It's just that the 'huge implications' part is something I outright expect from Bioware titles. I don't mind being the 'guys on the side' for one game though, and it would even provide a chance for BW to flesh out a LOT of Mass Effect.

Sequel.

All of ME3s endings are easily resolved putting the game 1-200 years out from the ending.

Indeed.

With the destroy ending = few years from the ME3 ending everything is being reuild after the war.
Control = Shepard flies into the dark space with the Reapers, everything is being reuild after the war.
Sythesis = make the new Bio/Synthetic combination of DNA last only for one generation of every spieces.

Clearly in every ending there can be a power vacuum between existing Citadel races or between Citadel races and new races -> and we got a Citadel Civil War or Citadel Space vs opposing forces of new race/races. There is so much room for a sequel here BioWare. Use it!

Considering all that hype lead to me being extremely disappointed during my first playthrough of ME2; No, I really hope they don't hype up ME4 too much. Some hype there will always be, but if the hype becomes as bad as before ME2 and ME3, people are bound to be disappointed.

I ended up liking ME2 in the end, but my first playthrough of it wasn't as good as it could have been.

When ME3 came around, I was a lot more prepared, aware I could be easily disappointed, and therefore was more careful with taking the pre-release statements seriously.

I imagined ME2 being more like ME1, and wasn't glad when it ended up being very different.

Remake of Mass Effect 1, reboot of the series.

I would buy this. Easily.

That's, at this point, what makes ME1 a slog to play through, the combat was so crude. Even at the time the game was new, other games were doing it way better. It was just BW's first attempt to do shooter elements and it shows horribly.

Except at this point, rebooting ME1 would probably require Shepard to kill him/herself stopping the husk-Saren, or stopping Sovereign would require Joker to ram the Normandy into it, or some other "artistic" blood sacrifice.
