This isn't too surprising. If it ends up being Mass Effect: The Story of Archangel, or the First Contact War I'm going to be thrilled.
[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;37714611]This isn't too surprising.

IT WASN'T A FUCKING WAR, there were like 3 minor battles that amounted to very little.
Only way I could see this working is if it is a prequel. How the fuck would a sequel work?
So EA say "we arent forcing them to make another" but bioware is going ahead and doing it anyways
I don't see how this is bad, if pulled off correctly I'm sure it will be amazing, assuming they learn from their mistakes in Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3.
As long as it won't be about Shepard, I won't mind it. Mass effect has an amazing universe, which should be expanded. just make it set before mass effect games
As much as I want something set AFTER Mass Effect 3 (if done well), I'd love something set in the past where you take on a different race, etc.

Besides it's better than them doing a sequel to ME3, anything is.
Maybe a game from the view of the Protheans, maybe
Maybe a game based around Javik during his cycle?
A game were you play as a Krogan would be amazing.
Just a few threads down, it says the cofounders of BioWare have resigned. Coincidence? Nope.
[QUOTE=Irockz;37714972]Maybe a game based around Javik during his cycle?[/QUOTE] I thought the Protheans were just one big master race which is why they failed? If so it would be boring just talking to protheans over and over fighting some no doubt recycled reaper enemies.
I'm not a fan of milking things, but to be honest the Mass Effect universe has a metric shit load of potential. A lot of it is in need of fleshing out, but the foundations for an amazing story are in place. It just depends on if they're going to take a shit on the script or not.

I'd actually like to see a tf2-esque FPS with the mercenary bands as the playable teams.

[QUOTE=Dantai;37714758]So EA say "we arent forcing them to make another" but bioware is going ahead and doing it anyways[/QUOTE] More like "We aren't forcing them to make another, but if they don't, they may have more layoffs".
I'd rather have KOTOR 3. Oh wait.
Hey, Bioware, you have one chance to not fuck this up and revive Mass Effect for me and it's so insanely simple. Garrus spent 2 years doing god knows what being a badass on Omega with a merc squad. 2 years open. A squad of dangerous mercs and badasses. Holy shit guys there's your new game right there.
as with pretty much everything I hear about BioWare these days, I think we'll just have to wait and see what they do. ME3 was actually a reasonably solid game, they just need to get more competent writing staff and not rush it so much and I'm fairly confident they can make a game that's at least half as decent as the older BioWare games.

I would want to participate in more of the dark-side of the ME universe story. IE the smuggling, playing a rag-tag bandits and such. Show the dark-side of the game would be nice as we always usually see the other way.
[QUOTE=spekter;37715467]I thought the Protheans were just one big master race which is why they failed?

The Krogan/Turian war I want, or just something new. How about when we first DISCOVER the mass effect relay?
Just kill me right now.
Being able to pick a race and sex for a totally new character would be nice, also finally updating assets to current standards would also be as nice.
