Mass Effect: Andromeda

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/04/30/mass-effect-4-in-the-middle-of-development

We're about halfway to the next mass effect.

There is also talk about the first 3 being remasted for next gen. If they did that, I would go through the entire series again. Amazing game series!

It will interesting to see what they do with the story.

And yes, the series is fantastic. My favourite outside of Half-Life.

The characters/story are fantasic, each game plays a bit differently and in my opinion, each game got better and better mechanics wise. Even though people bitched about ME3 ending, that game was absolutely epic. Exactly what I wanted from the last game.

Good that it isn't an extension of the first three games. It'll make it easier for me not to play this new one. I enjoyed the series, but I'm pretty sure I got my fill with the trilogy. I have no desire to jump into an Assassin's Creed-esque ongoing series with multiple protagonists and stories.

Yeah, I would agree.

I feel Mass Effect could go on for a very long time. The world is ripe for exploration and the series could go to the past, or to the future and I wouldn't have a problem with it. It's almost on par with Star Wars.

I'll buy an xbone just for this game. Or another fallout. Or another gears of war. That's about it.

I want to play as a Turian sentinel with ****ing facepaint, finally.

I wouldn't be surprised if this new trilogy allows you change your species.

Or we could have completely new species from 200,000 years before Mass Effect. Similar to what KOTOR did for Star Wars.

Would you guys prefer a sequel or prequel to the original story?

As much as I had some issues with the third game, it wasn't nearly as bad as some claimed, and I'm looking forward to the next game.

I'm hoping this is another trilogy, and that we get race options this time.

Sequel. I'd rather play during a period of peace where all of the races are present, than play a prequel where the Geth are in the veil and the Turians hate the Humans.

I want a First Contact War simulation, where I purge the humans from the galaxy, because I'm sick of the HOOMANZ R TEH SPESHUL trope.

Also, the 2IC is a hot asari who can out-biotic anything.

And the ship is a Death Star.

And everyone fires lazrz!

And... and...

I want so fucking badly to be Krogan.

Sequel. A prequel would blow. Either no humans or First-contact War, which would suck. Nothing really happens before ME1 that would make a good game imo.

If it were a sequel, I'd want it to be hundreds of years after Shepard's saga.

Also, a sequel is definitely a more risky endeavor for the writers over at Bioware, for a number of reasons.

Otherwise? Prequel.

Work within C-sec as an agent or something on the Citadel, taking down conspiracies and doing undercover crap around the galaxy. Like a Scorsese film in space. Think "The Departed" ✅

Or just give us the chance to wipe out the vorcha and Batarians (for a good reason). They push my buttons something horrible...

I cannot view this evidence on my mobile device.

It has to be hundreds and hundreds of years later. Sheppard needs to be a legend.

Or thousands and thousands of years before. The Reaper cycle happened forever so it can always been something like that.

Prequels are boring. Sequel or bust imo.

After all, the reapers were a super advanced computer made by something significantly smarter/more developed than any Mass Effect race. I doubt they were the first or only race around at that time. Somewhere, there is something much older, smarter, and more powerful.

Thats kind of what I want. A completely new galaxy. Leave behind Shepard, and give me some new races. Although, I do want to still play as a human, so I'm not sure how they'd make that work.

I'd be down for a new character who accesses a new form of space flight that lets him/her travel to a separate galaxy and explore somewhere completely new. Give it an unknown, Star Trek exploration kind of feel.

Or keep it in the same galaxy and set it a trillion years into the future. I don't care. Just give me more Mass Effect.

I agree. In most cases, a prequel would be kind of boring.

But as Arachnid has said, Mass Effect is in a unique position where they can have "prequel" but it has nothing to do with Sheppard.

Look at KOTOR, I thought it was dumb that they were releasing a Star Wars RPG thousands of years before the first movie. But for me, I actually enjoyed it much more than any other Star Wars media because it was completely new.
