I think there will be. Kind'a like ME2 starts off with the Normandy going down, you'll have someone there saying, "The Earth is lost! The entire galaxy is lost!" We'll fight the reapers, for whatever good that does... That'll teach us how to play the game. We get up into space and it'll read 257 years later. Then boom, "We made it." That's when Mass Effect : Andromeda will appear on the screen.
A Milky Way Prologue?

There's bound to be one since we are leaving our home galaxy. Now, depending on how they (don't) want to touch on the trilogy will determine how much of the trilogy will be included, as well as provide the purpose to the "Andromeda Initiative" (Ai).
We'll see (not soon enough).

I'm still hoping for a prologue where the crew awakes after arrival in the Andromeda galaxy and believe it is a one-way colonisation mission to discover through a pre-recorded message about the Reapers and the possibility that they may be the remnants of the Milky Way society. I think that would make the most sense and could be a chilling discovery.

I think this game is gonna way longer than anybody realizes. 80+ hours is what I'm thinking, so they're gonna have in it most of what has been already included shown to us. Launching of modern day astronauts, get the explorer/frontier feel going. Possibly as a background to the menu screen.

Bioware doesn't care for prologues these days. Ever since DA2 they've been pretty focused on the "get the player right in it ASAP" mindset.

I don't really think MEA needs to have the prologue to cover leaving the Milky Way. I'd be cool with being explained in a Star Wars walk of text just like ME1 had. A prologue explaining our mission in Andromeda would be nice, though.
Yeah, I'd rather not be thrown into combat right out of the gate. I'd prefer it start with having us walking around and interacting with NPCs for world building.Bioware doesn't care for prologues these days.

I think a prologue taking place in the Milky Way is a must. We need to see the motivation for leaving given proper context. The real game and story starts when we hit Andromeda of course but we need to have an understanding as to why we went there in the first place and the game needs to reflect that. Remember we are playing the game from Ryder's perspective. Ryder is not going to know how or even if the Reapers were stopped. As far as Ryder knows the Ark Initiative can be humanity's only hope for survival. The game needs to establish that.

I just can't see the Arks' purpose remaining a secret unless said purpose is only revealed to the crew after departure from the Milky Way and upon arrival in the Andromeda Galaxy. That's why I'm in favor of a message or something revealing this.
There could still be a prologue set in the Milky Way but I think it should be calm and mundane with the would-be colonists not suspecting the actual reason behind the depature. Thos would help contrast the action, danger and such that would come later. There shouldn't be any mass panic or something of that sort since the ARKs would likely be leaving before the Reapers arrive on Earth since otherwise they should have been shot down by the invading Reapers.

There is only one reason to justify the Arks, trying to survive the Reapers. The idea that it's a colonization mission is ludicrous. We barely colonized the Milk Way and barely have the technology to explore places very distance from the Relays, yet let's build impossibly expansive ships to colonize a new galaxy that can't even be connected to the Milk Way?

If I'm not mistaken Bioware already said that Arks weren't just CGI, so it must be from Prologue.
Besides it would be just dumb not to use such moment for some epic cutscenes.

I wonder if they Arks aren't actually on Earth, just that the cutscene made it feel like it. Because if they were in Orbit, you can't explain why nobody knows about them.

that's doubtful and it being a stand alone is not set in stone. Also his/her.
<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>
Of course.
However, a prologue is a must, imo. You'll have a narrator explaining what's happening in a 2 minute intro scene. The cameos showing up after the ARKs' arrival in the Helius cluster.
Question. Will the "awakening" scene show our CC creation?

Could be. I had the thought that it could see be somewhat similar to the character creator scene in the first Mass Effect but with the set-up being a profile search rather a profile reconstruction. Basically, someone is searching for a certain person to awake and it requires the data to be typed leading to the character creator screen where the information is selected and the character is created.

That doesn't make much sense, but it makes sense in case of "exploration mission" which is silly no matter how you look at it, but that's Bioware we are talking about, so I wouldn't rule it out.

It's one thing to see really big ships, it's another to know what they are.

What about this?
The military set up, on Horizon, Sanctuary as a pleasant hotel and as a front corp for the military industrial complex. They knew, in full, the double meaning of the word. They also knew that everybody would go there, and thus helped spread the word. This could be the lack of light (coming from the planet's surface) that we see in the trailer.
By the time we hear of it in ME3, the arks left a long time ago and Cerberus has already taken it over.
Hmmm. The more and more I think about it, the more and more I'm liking it.

Lack of light? You mean, because it's night on that side of the planet?

As I was doing research on this, I discovered this : Just for your viewing pleasure.
There are plenty of places on Earth that we could take off from that have that much light coming from them. I'm just thinking of, "Where would all the races go?" That place is Sanctuary.

What does night have to do with the military, corporations, or anything else?
Besides, that's Earth in the trailer. You can see the Great Lakes.

Because the military is one of the only ones with enough resources to fund an operation like Sanctuary. Agreed, Cerberus is as well. I'm just not seeing TIM with that much forethought.
I dunno, maybe I'm just insane.

I really like it. That would actually make sense and could work.
