I think it should take place after the events of Mass Effect 3

Lucreto4926d ago

It should but with all the decisions over the last 3 games getting them to work in a new story can cause problems.

I would like it to be set between ME1 and ME2 during the period of Sheperd's death.

Jinkies4926d ago

I hate prequels, keep that stuff for spin off games or other types of media like novels/comics

Bercilak4926d ago (Edited 4926d ago )

I'd like to see Bioware produce a new IP.

Oh, wait. EA owns them now.

Ah ha ha ha haaaa! New IP. I slay myself sometimes...

AbyssGravelord4926d ago

How original, a prequel after a trilogy. Now I've seen it all!

VanguardOfCalamity4926d ago

I would like to see something after the events of ME Trilogy - maybe bring back some of the story that had to do with dark energy and even resurrecting the Reapers (ironically) as they are the only ones that can stop it XD - but realistically I think they should just do a MMO that takes place right after ME3 and the game could unfold as the Relays are rebuilt and even though the reapers may be gone, the thorian and rachni have shown that there can be other "monsters" in the dark

I also remember a "derelict reaper" from ME2 that was in a battle 37 million years in the past (if memory serves) which could mean that the reapers could have traveled to other galaxies by now or had a few still in dark space... so all the reapers wouldn't have to be gone necessarily

sjaakiejj4926d ago

That would be pretty lame.

No, I'd prefer it if the game took place after the events of the ME trilogy, but it has to have a different enemy than the reapers.

SPOILER WARNING:
It was even suggested in the Mass Effect 3 ending that the reapers had been gone for a long time.

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno190d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos190d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg190d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb190d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum190d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

BioWare needs to follow Larian’s lead and just “embrace people’s cool choices”, veteran EA developer

Speaking on a recent episode of the FRVR Podcast, veteran EA developer Alex Hutchinson—who worked on The Sims 2, Spore and Army of Two: The 40th Day—explained that the studio is already no longer the studio fans fell in love with, but it should be safe from censorship of its games’ political beliefs.

Who didn’t see this coming lol

BioWare should find the center and focus. Chasing someone else’s shadow will likely lead to failure.

What the EA deal could mean for BioWare, The Sims, and more

If you’re worried about EA’s future, you’re in good company. The acquisition is unprecedented on many levels, and it throws the future of EA's studios and some of its biggest franchises —including BioWare, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield — into doubt. Industry analysts have varying predictions about what could come next. However, there are a few constants — namely, that EA will likely implement large-scale spending reductions and sell off its less profitable studios.

How can you be an analyst and not look at Tencent and know exactly what's about to happen: massive layoffs, decline in quality, and loss revenue.

It is Toys R Us all over again, and JCPenney and Sears and so many more. EA lost is vision before 2000. It's an old stodgy corporation. It's not going to recover.

Retroman220d ago

If Ea sell studio that develop NFS wishful thinking Saudi investers put Blackbox studio back together. get rid of online racing, drive to a race or no races at all wasting time playing nfs for NO reason at all thanks to Unbound, Heat, Payback, Rivals.

They'll start working on FIFA, Madden, UFC, and some mobile games.

gold_drake219d ago

i think that games that are not Sports games or Shooters will cease to exist, since they are the big money makers.

not sure why anyone would agree to this. especially to rich saudis of all people ha they have more money than they'll ever need
