Mass Effect 4 Confirmed?!

I think he meant assets from DA. Which would be presumably just Frostbite assets.

Oh. That would be Ok then.

[Nup]

As other have said, yeah, using the frostbite 3 engine same as DA:I, and as I recall they are using the same tools, with some of the same assets? Considering DA:I weapon/armor customisation it will be interesting to see if the next mass effect has a similar system.

 

 

 

and yeah, not dealing with Shep, or anything to do with that arc, somehow.

 

I look forward to see how they do it. I think there is still plenty they could do, in that same universe to still deliver a good story/game.

it will be challenging to Come up with something as mysterious and Grand as the whole reaper thing.

I actually kinda hope they don't try that - I feel it would really lessen the impact of the Reapers, if another extinction-threatening enemy came along just a few short years after ME3. I think I'd be fine with a game where you try and play peacekeeper in a devastated, postwar galaxy: exploring ruined colonies, making tough choices about survivors, and maybe fighting a race/group that uses the opportunity to seize power(yahg? raloi? Leviathan?).

 

Either way, the timeline isn't confirmed. Bioware has stated that the game is likely to take place during Shepard's lifetime, so it could be a prequel of sorts or a parallel story (which I think would be disappointing because then every player knows the outcome of events). With Shepard surviving the Destroyer ending to ME3, a post-Destroyer sequel is a possibility though.

What we know about ME 4. It is not gonna be called ME 4. It r has the Mako,

 

The hack whose only credits as a lead writer are Mass Effect 3 (Mac Walters) got PROMOTED to Casey Hudson's job (you aren't scared...you will be...you will be). The lead writer is the guy who wrote the last Halo game...

 

I have zero excitement for this game and I loved Mass Effect, and I even liked ME 2. A Mac Walters production ME4? No thanks. Thanks for the memories Bioware. If they bring Drew Karpyshyn back and fire Mac I will care. 

The last halo game, as in halo 4...which sucked?

I think I rather have Telltale games make a "Tales from the Citadel."

Good point. They can focus on more localized problems as long as they find a way to weave that mystery element into the story and get the player hooked, it can be smaller But it should still have in interesting sci-fi hook, without that it's not mass effect.

On a related note i was disappointed that we never got to explore future earth in the mass effect trilogy, hope they rectify that, But i think they are going to base it in a different solar system. One way they could surprise everyone is by making the player character non-human.

True, true. I hope they wont try to make it as grand, now that you mention it.

I can't wait. :wub:

 

I love the Mass Effect series. Although ME3 left me sad, I want to see what the future holds for the series. Especially since it means moving away from my beloved Shepard. And if it is all about the Reapers, I wonder how they will make them the enemy again since ME3 pretty much made it so they can't come back?

 

(On an unrelated note...I prefer Dick Grayson over Tim Drake. )

 

I'm with you on this, can't wait!  I was so cheesed off with the ending of ME3 though :wacko:

 

I watched a live stream on Twitch a while back where the devs showed off some of the artwork and universe/world settings... it looked gorgeous!
