Since the MEseries was gone I was willing to just wait about for news as the game was closer to finish but this rumor I had to get the boards reacton on some of its good other parts crazy stupid by BW. So lets run down the points and I'll post a few links for you guys/girls to check out.
1. BW wants to have a sequel given how the presentation was unveiled
2, BW asked that question which the boards here did answer which two species would you axe if you had to this group picked Krogan and Quarians to chop
3. Using opinons for the N7 rank trying to guage what does this mean to players (probably for marketing)
4. They want an overall theme of stranger in a strange land and want to also include exploration again
5. Hints of possible mako styled crafts but they also showed the group as the poster said vugely various crafts sounds like drop ships were also included.
6. Footage shown of human, salarian, asari,and turians runing around in Frostbite engine enviroments
To read more about the actual event go here: but note this isn't the origonal post aparently that got deleted so now its all who screen captured, saved, or wrote down the origional poster's notes. A second site here
There is more then the few highlights I pulled so go read up and feel free to post your reactions on those topics unhighlighted by me, but I specifically pulled a few items I consider to be more descussion worthy
1. This is a step in the right direction to make it a sequel would be best and doesn't get the game traped in the drain of pre-quels. Setting it 50K into the future would really help to distant the choose your color ending and allow for BWs now infamous handwaiving of your choices but in this case I don't think players would mind in fact they'd welcome this handwaive of poor, inconsistent, or down right illogical endings I mean the only two that worked lore wise were destroy and FU but BW needlessly tacked on extras to make them fail as well.
2. This I've got a real problem with the Quarians are one of my fav races I'd love to play SP as one it also goes to reinforce their own stated concept wish of stranger in a strange land. I mean who is newer to the world then these guys? Spending 300 years on a ship then getting their world back a 50K set into the future (allows their immuine systems to normalized to all other species) being on a world so far removed from all others means these guys probalby just stay on the homeworld not eager to leave now that its their's so our Quarian M/F can be sent away on her/his pilgramage in this new world the pilgramage isn't used to bring back rescourses to the homeworld its more for the now suitless Quarians to ingauge with the outside worlds learn how to deal with them and decide do you want to be an introvert (stay on Rannoch forever) or and extrovert (live amongst the other worlds). In his/her pilgramage into the wider reachers of space this Quarian ends up saving it from a huge threat what isn't great about that? This Quarian would fit that model exceedingly well othewise you're looking at extreamly back water humans, asari, and turians for that effect.
I know Krogans have a fan base as well this species too would better serve BWs stated stranger wish for a game feel as they too might not leave their homeworld often either maybe its part of their rite into adult hood to go into the world and slay things except this one slays a huge threat again more of the classical nobody to somebody arch type the other species wouldn't achive without some serious back woodsing to their characters. Removeing these two species from the SP playable list is just a bad move if BW really does do this. The Asari are best left taken out as they're inform already coverd by the Humans and in skill are already double covered by Humans and Salarians. The only reason they'd stay in was to be the auto bi hero option for players to pick and BW an excuse to have blue porn in loving detail and fade to black for all other hero picks. The only issue is they become a tank later in the game if you build them right so it can be less of a challange to be this race.
3. This is intresting with a side of stupid when it comes to questions is this only for marketing hype to sell the game ( which BW can't really afford another backlash on the bait and switch variety)or will it (unlike the backgrounds) actually have an influence if you make that rank type (considering of course the Alliance now lets anyspecies join them).
4&5. Exploration was a big one for fans of ME but will they take all of our advice into consideration when choosing a sole vechile or will they let the player pick a more mako or a more hammerhead styled vechicle at a purchasing center so players can choose do they want a few maps to race around on with the hammer head or do they want access to the multiple worlds that can be explored with the mako styled vechicle?
6. Its the engine they choose that worries me here. As we all know BF4 is made with this engine and we all know how that world looks will BW really "waste" that engine on an RPG first and shooter second game or will they go back to ME2s hated formula of Shooter first and RPG second? If you were drawn to ME for the first mechanics it will be another slap in the face for them to choose the second mechanic for ME4. Could they make an rpg first with better shooting? Sure they can but the will they? Can they resist the urge to go all shooter and tone down the "pesky" rpg fun? Or will we see the endless parade of shooting galleries, chest high walls, and linar cooridor levels that were generated in ME2?
