From Eurogamer: "After an otherwise quiet N7 Day celebration for Mass Effect fans, BioWare revealed one brilliant tease for the next entry in its space opera saga.
A detailed teaser image, revealed on Twitter last night and then via EA's website in higher definition, has set fans' tongues wagging as the series' community seeks to analyse every pixel."
As BioWare hones in on combat for the next Mass Effect game, learning from Id Software's modern Doom games could be a smart move.
Don't know why you are getting downvoted. You are absolutely right.
Mass Effect combat should always have a layered approach that benefits from teamwork, with a good combination of Tech, Soldiers and Biotics and navigating + utilizing the environment.
Andromeda did fast action-combat already and it was borderline rejected by the majority of the playerbase.
Andromedas combat was probably the only thing universally praised. I liked it. tbh I dont think they should change much of the way Andromeda played for 5.
The story, characters and missions/side missions were the worst part of it. And those f’n vaults ugh…

Hopefully they'll find some middle ground between the two. The extra verticality was great. But personally, I prefer being able to pause the battle when opening the combat wheels/menus, rather than just slowing down events. Allowed for much more careful and tactical gameplay.
The one thing I hope they fully bring back is a proper class system. Andromeda's system where you could mix and match across all the classes is a perfect example of a system that gives you more freedom, but ultimately reduces the uniqueness of each playthrough.
This article is complete trash. It's an rpg not an action game. Not everything has to be super fast paced. Sometimes methodical works better.
Now that BioWare is solely focused on the next Mass Effect. Theories are now floating around. Here are some theories about Mass Effect 5.
I think that if this doesn't get shelved, it will never be the game people dream of having. The high of ME2 hasn't been reached since, and it's on that mythical high bar that is likely impossible to surpass; let alone be reached by present day BioWare.
It might even have monetization practices, since that was the "believed" reasoning for DA: Veilguard's failure
I preferred 1 over 2 gameplay wise, plus it was darker in tone. I hope they go back to that instead of more shooter that 2/3 was
The development of the next Mass Effect title is still in its early stages, as the team is currently focused on other EA projects.
Bioware's Economy Game Designer (Harel Eilam) is now assisting in the development of the Battlefield franchise as Narrative Designer - as part of Electronic Arts' Rotational Experience Program.
EA needs to rehire the game director of Dragon Age: Inquisition. He did an outstanding job and I hope he can bring those same story beats to Mass Effect.
Just dont stuff it up. Keep the Andromeda gameplay along with planet exploration with the Mako. A great villain, great story, characters and a new mysterious threat to fight against and we’ll be good.
As someone who chose Halo 2 over the PS2’s massive library, I cannot wait for M$ to get all of their franchises running on full steam.
My ps5 is a blast, but I hope it gets some strong competition out of the Zenimax deal. Somebody needs to keep Sony sharp.
Not holding my breath on this one after the Andromeda outing. Not as bad as people made it out to be but certainly a disappointment after a 5 year wait. Fingers crossed they bring the series back to the glory days.
They changed the original mass effect and turned it into a shooter. Mass effect 2 wasnt too bad but it was were I drew the line. They lost me as an actual fan after that.
Still haven't played through 3 and Andromeda. I will soon though just to see the story
