there are other galaxies. like Andromeda. here is whats going to happen: we'll start as a new character among refugees (conveniently having their memories wiped clean), and Shepard was never heard from ever again. ME trilogy will be swept under the rug. Quite similar to the way ME2 ignored parts of 1, and 3 of 2, but on a larger scale.

Why would their memories be wiped clean?

Space magic.

didn't mean it literally.

 

also, travel time. space is very big.

Space magic.

 
I didn't ask how, I asked why, what purpose would that serve.

Hmm I don't think travel time would be an issue. Sure it would probably take a few hundred thousand years with FTL but that would just help Bioware distance the story of the new games from the trilogy even further. And they could use some kind of cryo stasis technology to preseve the colonists until they arrive, it wouldn't be out of place in the ME universe.

BioWare isn't telling us to forget the previous Mass Effect games.  They aren't pulling a Disney and telling all fans that "hey all that stuff you've known and love, those decades worth of rich lore [some good, some bad] NEVER happened."

 

BW is essentially telling us, they are *finished* telling those stories, and they want to tell new ones.

I quite like Mass Effect's past. It's nice and cozy. Andromeda is a very big 'wait for it to go on sale' or a gamefly rental for me atm.

When people say stuff like this, it makes me wonder... Why are people afraid of something new?  I know ME is nice and cozy, but don't you look forward to new characters, and stories?

 

When they made Mass Effect, they didn't know it would a huge hit, or if people would love certain characters.

[Sion1138]

Everything is always new.

 

Me, I wonder why nobody ever commits to anything anymore. It's like collective ADHD.

[Mashcar]

It is time for new hero in ME universe... but there is one thing. Playerdriven character must know one very important thing...

Someone, somewhere, at some time was going to make a sequel trilogy. That should have been obvious. The sequel trilogy would not and could not be beholden to the EU. That also should have been obvious. The EU's head was on the chopping block for as long as it existed. Fans have only themselves to blame if they didn't see it coming.

No.

I'm all up for more Mass Effect stories, but not at the expense of shitting all over everything that came before it. You can't spend three games building extensive stories and lore, then start abandoning it all, simply to create a new game that doesn't have to deal with the narrative that preceded it. (I'm looking at you, mandatory discharging of the drive core, which will no doubt be hand waved with space magic.) 

 

Also, while some thought suicide was a fitting end, the last time I finished ME3 my Shepard was alive and in need of rescue. It'd be nice to actually know what happened to him.

[DextroDNA]

Not happening. Andromeda may be a new place with new characters but the original trilogy isn't going to get "swept under the rug" and there will definitely be some references to events in ME1-3.

Nope. They screwed up so they are making a new story to screw it up again

[Capt_Kangaroo]

+1

I agree, forget the last 3 ME's and lets concentrate on a TOTALLY new character, in a TOTALLY new place, in a TOTALLY new scenario..., with TOTALLY new bad guys.

 

Cheers

I really don't think just cuz it's being based in Andromeda, new place, new time.....that it means its sweeping anything under the rug.

 

I'm pretty sure this is still Mass Effect, and there are still going to be codex entries that refrence past things, species, and little easter egg type deals that give shoutouts to the previous trilogy.

 

While this new game is eliminating the dilemma of canonizing an ending, it isn't like starting all the way over, IMO.

 

If there are three books in a trilogy, then it ends, and they start a new trilogy in the same universe, with the same races and all, and a different timeline and hero, I don't think thats sweeping the previous ones away, its learning from them and creating something new within the lore framework.

 

It's a new place, but this is the same "series". It's still going to have alot of the lore in place, along with new bits.

As long as it sells well, and it will (EA are marketing experts), that's all that matters for Bioware.

EA will pay off IGN, gamespot, kotaku and many other gaming "journalists" to say it's a good or great game. And the majority of gamers who frequent those outlets will pre-order the game and buy it. They'll be some clever marketing on youtube, Twitter, and tv to get the hype going and pre-orders up. Then the game will release and get good to great reviews from the journo's.

And because gamers are easily duped and have been programmed and trained by the EA cycle, they'll buy the game and it will probably have many fundamental flaws like it's predecessor and most of BioWare game's of the last 5 years.

But EA will spin it, and gamers will forget about it and then by that time, the next EA shill will be on the way (Probably another Battlefield game).

And thus the EA cycle continues.

Right now, I don't trust any gaming journalism sites, or YouTube gamers.  Companies buy off people to give good reviews.  I will pre-order (a collectors edition) Mass Effect, based on my love for the series.  Not because EA used a marketing strategy.

 

However, I will use these sites to get information about the game, but I'd prefer the information to come straight from the horses mouth.

[Hjklop]

It probably won't be "swept under the rug" it's more likely the old trilogy will be either vaguely alluded to, or even just have a character hang a lampshade on the whole multiple endings fiasco. 

 

The thing is whether we get a "concrete canon" end, or not it won't really matter, it's a whole new game and galaxy, not exactly retconing, just focusing on a completely different place.

take off the tin foil hat. EA don't have to pay **** to be nice about Bioware with all the negative reinforcement the legions of fans among AAA gamers provide. Say something negative about a popular game on reddit and see what happens, I dare you. Best case scenario you make some supremely well constructed critique and get a meager few up votes, but nothing compare to if you lavished praise. No, IGN don't do it because of a conspiracy, they do it because of ratings, page views, ad money. capitalism.

New stories.  Titled "Mass Effect" though.
