They should abandon Mass Effect entirely and make their new sci-fi RPG something new and different with lessons learned from the ME experiment. No prequels, sequels, nothing. Let it die and start anew without all the baggage that MEU brings with it. Everyone has their expectations and prejudices from 6 years of Mass Effect so the devs will never please part of the base without pissing the other parts off.

 

New sci fi RPG IP please!

 

Not oppsed to a new SF RPG (there simply aren't enough of them)  But I think the ME universe is salvageable.

 

They just have to ditch the endings

It's fine to call it "Mass Effect 4", but calling the next game a numbered sequel causes confusion. That's why I always call it "'New' Mass Effect", and also, because the next game is a completely different Mass Effect Universe.

Meh, ME4 is the shortest shorthand that everyone understands.

 

 

OMG the outrage would be awesome + mix it up with Liara being the canon LI, and you'll have billions of hate and tears threads

 

I'll do you one better: ME4's PC is Liara and Shepard's firstborn, complete with glowy green veins.

[TheOneTrueBioticGod]

yeah, would love another single player KotOR adventure by Bioware. Obsidian just didn't do it for me.


Plus, Visceral (creators of Dead Space...which I've never played) is making a Star Wars open-world game, with the creative director (or Lead Writer?) of the Uncharted series at the helm. She recently left NaughtyDog under shady circumstances, I believe. Though, I don't necessarily follow them as closely as BW. Either way, it's a project to look out for.

Try getting the cut content mod for it. It makes it so much better. 

That is... intriguing.

If there's a Kickstarter for this, I'm in.

Amy Hennig, and however you feel about Uncharted's writing or direction, Legacy of Kain displays her as one of the top writers in the medium. Very excited for her Star Wars game, in whatever capacity she'll be working on it.

Post refuse would basically have to be a new cycle with entirely new aliens, since everything in the previous cycle was eradicated.

 

Not necessarily. There would be more rage on the board. We would find a cryo pod. Liara would get out. As long as there is one Asari they are not extinct.

The post-refuse stargazer scene is different. There is a person that looks very much asari...

You have a very strong mic. Or a tonne of em. 

 

You drop 'em all the time

Interesting...

[AlanC9]

I wouldn't read anything more into that than Bio not bothering to do a new alien model.

[sH0tgUn jUliA]

Alan, you're just in denial. It's an Asari. They made it. Humans didn't. Liara made sure the next cycle got a major head start. They won. The quote was from Javik "As long as there is one Asari, they are not extinct." - well it's a paraphrase.

[FlyingSquirrel]

I can't imagine a scenario in which the Reapers win the war but the asari survive. They seem to have a track record of killing or harvesting every last member of a species they harvest, or at least getting close enough that the survivors can't rebuild or ward off their eventual extinction (as happened with the protheans).

 

The asari might have one unique advantage in a "life pod" scenario since they are able to reproduce with other species, but I'm sure the Reapers are aware of that, and they might just lead the Reapers to be even more thorough in hunting down every last asari than they were with the protheans.

[SporkFu]

^^^ If the automated restart on those lifepods hadn't been compromised a million protheans would have awoken instead of just one.

 

The more I think about how advanced the protheans were, the more I think the harvest of the current cycle began too soon. In separate instances, the protheans had a back-up plan to rise again, found a way to corrupt the reaper-summoning signal from the citadel, and almost completed the crucible, and they fought the reapers for over a hundred years, all after having their empire smashed pieces at the very beginning of the harvest. Our cycle was still struggling to get along.

Hey, I'd like it to be true. I love watching the Liara haters rage.

The thing is that Asari could find a garden world and live like primitives. They live so long that the Reapers wouldn't be forgotten. As long as no energy signatures ar picked up the Reapers wouldn't bother investigating. OR They could bury their ships underground. The reapers didn't find the three ships the Protheans left on Mars. I'm sure there were others scattered around like on Thessia and Palaven. Liara seeds the planet with a capsule in the archive. All they need is a few survivors in cryo pods. Set them to say 1000 years later. Wake up and start populating. They're the race most likely to survive.

Don't Reapers leave things for the next cycle to discover?

[Iakus]

Hey, I'd like it to be true. I love watching the Liara haters rage.

 

hey, it could still happen.

 

Bioware loves their retcons

[Mordokai]

Hey, I'd like it to be true. I love watching the Liara haters rage.

 

I'd pay for something like that. And I mean extra, beyond what they will already charge for the game itself. Too see all the impotent rage and snarling and frothing... and be able to do nothing about it.

 

Why yes, I am the tiniest bit petty, why do you ask?

Also, I don't remember that being said by him. Where and when did that happen?

[Faerlyte]

I personally don't want to see Shepard ever again. Shepard spent the majority of ME3 bellyaching and acting like a child. I would like not to revisit that. It's okay to start fresh and whatever they decide to make canon after the events of ME3 is what it is. There is no salvaging it so I'm moving on. 

 

Whatever they come out with for the new Mass Effect series will probably sell like hot cakes. The gameplay is top-notch and fun, which is the bottom line when it comes to gaming so people are going to play it. If the campaign doesn't work out, there's always the multiplayer, whether you like it or not. It has given ME3 tremendous replay value, for my part. I still play it because of the diversity of characters. It's fun and I look forward to where they take it in the future. 

 

But I'm also still interested in a new story in the realms of the Mass Effet Universe. If they open it up to choosing between what species your main character is in campaign, it will add a new element that we haven't been able to experience. I would be all over that. As it is now, mulitplayer is my only opportunity to play as something other than human, and Bioware has created such a diverse Universe - it would be a shame not to utilize it.

This is the internet. Implied. Not direct: "I wouldn't read anything more into that than Bio not bothering to do a new alien model." - AlanC9

 

I'd pay extra for it as well. 

[AlanC9]

Well, If we're actually talking sense rather than snark, there's twitter canon that they're not asari. And the kid in the stargazer 2 vid sounds male to me. But hey, if you want to believe they're asari, go for it.

Well, the kid is obviously male, but come now, you're talking sense.
