So we all know that Bioware is avoiding the Milkyway right now by transferring the core mechanics of Mass Effect to Andromeda to give us a "refresh" of what Mass Effect 1 experience was i.e. exploration and space stuff.

 

One thing lingers in my mind... since they are ditching the Milkyway and there are no or 0 evidence at all that Bioware is planning to revisit the Milkyway in the future anytime soon, do you think it is plausible that they will combine Andromeda and Milkyway in Mass Effect 5?

 

I mean these two galaxies are destined to smash each other 4 billion years from now anyway. Maybe that will take place in Mass Effect 5? [the time will have to be accelerated though since it is a science fiction game after all]

 

Thoughts?

[N7Jamaican]

Yup, we will collide, but this is like a billion years into the future.  Humanity will be long gone by then.  So, it won't even matter.

Says you, quitter. Once NASA gives me my own spaceship, I plan to carve images of erect penises onto every planetary body I can find. That way, we'll never be truly forgotten.

for the sake of the franchise and since it is a video game and since in ME1 we have the ability to colonize different solar systems... maybe we can survive... this catastrophic future?

Video game, fine.

 

Real life, we haven't figured out a way to send people past the moon yet.  And just think the events of Mass Effect (not the first game) is about 130 years away when we find prothean ruins on mars.  We have time

Easy. We send them to the far side of the moon, and make them jump. An easy 50-60 centimetres further right there.

And look at real life all modern discovers was made in past 100 years. Science progression at least now is expectational. And if plot demands we can easy find some other ruins or some scientist discover something.

How sure are you that Humans will be extinct 4 billion years from now? unless if you know the sun dies all of a sudden, judgment day comes or for whatever reason. But this thread is about MASS EFFECT 5 not real life in the first place

Let's see - how many (terrestrial) species are alive today that were alive 4 billion years ago...?

 

If humans aren't extinct in 4 billion years we'll have evolved into something else and will no longer be human anyway.

 

Oh... and our sun will probably be nearing the end of it's life in 4 billion years - or at least drawing its pension.

[Ashevajak]

I tend to think this is intended to be a soft reboot for the whole franchise. 

The only way I can see them returning to the Milky Way is so long after the events of the original trilogy that they have no impact because they have been superseded by other events and player choices circumvented by how Andromeda is set up (so for example, the Geth or Quarians may have been wiped out in the trilogy...but Andromeda refugees of those species eventually re-colonise the Milky Way etc).  And even then there are potential problems with that.

[Awkward Octopus]

Humans are only about 200,000 years old. Life on Earth is less than 4 billion.

 

If humanity is still alive when we crash into Andromeda - and we will definitely have to have left Earth as it will have likely become inhospitable by then (Earth leaves the habitable zone around the sun in about 2-3 billion years), we won't be recognizable as human anymore.

 

As unrecognizable as we currently are from the first pathetic prokaryotes that formed in a primordial ocean.

 

...That would be a cool game, but I'm not convinced we could comprehend, let alone imagine it...

 

'd, apparently.

Even if the galaxies collided in just a million years humanity would not be humanity. We're not the peak of evolution, just hubris.

 

In a million years, if humanity is around (or has evolved), I'm sure we would have raped every last resource from the planet.  

[EmissaryofLies]

Could be interesting.

Most of those discoveries (regarding space travel) have been made 30 years ago or longer, during the cold war, when the so-called space race took place between the USA and the Soviet Union. After the cold war the space race quickly came to a halt and right now our scientific progress regarding space travel is pathetically slow.

 

NASA did make plans to revisit the moon in 2020 and to send the first men to Mars in 2030, but I'm highly skeptical about that. It wouldn't surprise me if those plans will get delayed (again).

[N7Jamaican]

We have 15 years to develop the technology to send a man to Mars and back to Earth.  Doubt we'll make that much progress.  I expect more technical innovation pertaining to mobile devices than us getting enough tech to send a man to Mars! 

[Broganisity]

Let's wait to see if they can make a single galaxy work this time, then we'll talk.

well it is a good game. You know not only for Humans but also for the other species of the Milkyway... imagine Earth, Rannoch and other milkyway planets colliding with Andromeda... first act is survival or evacuation and then contact with Andromeda? I have no idea what I am talking about

[The Arbiter]

This sums up my response to @imran911

yeah I know but that applies to REAL LIFE and if it should be simulated in Mass Effect 5 things will be different

 

 

 

In a million years we would have sucked half of the galaxy dry. Earth is already dying. We're currently in an extinction event, the oceans are toxic and full of plastic and chemicals, climate change is already in a pattern of extremes that will leave half of the world barren and the other half a wasteland, and we already missed the tipping point to reverse any atmospheric impacts of extreme greenhouse effect so our atmosphere is going to stop supporting life likely within a thousand years. And as a species we've venerated stupidity and stigmatized curiosity so the prospects of colonizing the galaxy are less than slim to none.

 

Did you see Interstellar? It's going to go like that very soon, but without all of the spaceships and heroics.

 

It is going to look like METRO if you ask me. There is a chance that Animals and plants will adapt to the new environment and humans? humans will probably go down the food chain.

That's a pretty sweet video, OP.

I am 100% sure. No species has, or will, survive for 4 billion years unchanged. 99.999% of all species that have ever lived are extinct.

Most likely, ****** sapiens will be extinct without leaving descendents. If, and ONLY if, we ever develop interstellar travel will absolute extinction become a vanishingly small probability. And if (and that's a big if that we are actually intelligent enough to survive killing ourselves on Earth first), then we can leave descendents which will, eventually, no longer be ****** sapiens.

Either way, he was absolutely right: In 4 billion years we will be long, long gone.

Edit: LOL Biower autocensor....seriously??? Seriously? Lmfao.

Exactly, but I would like to see differences between the humans in Andromeda compared to the humans in the Milky Way.  It's kinda like Vulcans and Romulans. Romulans originated from Vulcan, but they have evolved to be slightly different than their counterparts.

yeah I know but we are talking about a video game here!  not real life dooms day.

 

Imagine MASS EFFECT 5 the Earth is literally dying, we then become the Quarians in that event... then things got way worse when Andromeda smashed into us.
