YES!!!!

I really loved playing the series and think they did a superb job visually and game-play wise. Looking forward to what they can do next, but not sure it's needed!

I'm so looking forward to seeing the universe expand on next gen! :cool:

VincentHanna said:
Maybe they will join the 21st century and actually put in controller compatibility this time...

Not sure if it's a question but there's a survey asking for opinions :eek:

I loved the first 3, looking forward to the next one.

My favourite was ME2, it just seemed to hit that fine balance between story and gameplay.

Hope fully its all new characters and a new story.

PhysicsMan94 said:
Yeah, I think ME2 has the 'edge' over the other two for me as well. Plus I really enjoyed the "Lair of the Shadow Broker" and "Arrival" DLCs

I agree

played the series on Xbox now getting them for PC! I keep hoping that the DLC will go on sale as I've bought it all before and feel a bit peeved about paying full price again

The ME3 multiplayer was fantastic and the fact they kept supporting it for a year with extra maps, characters and weapons for free was doubly fantastic.

I agree

I still occasionally fire up ME3 MP and always have a blast :cool:

Looks Epic

I think I may have mentioned it before on here, but I'd really like to see something based around the first contact war. That period of history within the game always fascinated me.

Either way, I trust the team at BW to come up with something just as wonderful. Despite what people thought of how the trilogy was wrapped up, I still love all three games to death.

I agree the Mass Effect universe has huge potential, the echo of Babylon 5 often comes to mind when thinking about The first Contact War :cool:

I miss B5

Don't call it Mass Effect 4 as people will be expecting a straight sequel or something. Call it Mass Effect : somethinghere to keep it separate.

Don't worry, after starting this thread the Dev's confirmed at a press conference (rather grumpily

) it most definitely will not be called Mass Effect 4

I'm guessing we'll see a bit more at E3 2015 with a late 2016/2017 launch.

Dragon Age Inquisition will give us a good idea of what will be possible... as DA:I is looking Epic I have high hopes :cool:

ic1male said:
I'm hoping the multiplayer is as great as in ME3. I played that solidly for almost two years!

Me too

I just recently uninstalled it as every match seemed to be compromised by cheats

One guy would join a match as a geth and be on the enemy side :eek:

It freaked me out first time it happened because he slowly approached as I spawned and started to melee me. I thought it was a greeting then I realised I was loosing health so I ran and he chased me :eek:

Someone finally cobra rocketed him :cool:

That will learn him!

AshenEdge · 15 Jun 2015 at 21:19

OP UPDATED!!!! MASSEFFECT - ANDROMEDA - HOLIDAY 2016!!!

Is it possible for a nice and friendly neighbourhood mod to update the thread title please

(or is it possible for me to do but I've failed to find the option??

)

AshenEdge · 15 Jun 2015 at 22:11

PhysicsMan94 said:
Hype! I had a feeling it would be set in a new Galaxy - probably some effort to relocate humanity just in case the war against Reapers went south

Sounds great... HYPE-FIELD INITIATED!!!

Giggz said:
Damn when it put the date up and it drops that noise, brought back memories

Besty said:
yep. Its amazing what a single chord on a synth can do for a man.

Gave me chills as well guys... ME tunes added to June playlist :cool:

Curunen said:
Well, cat's fully out of the bag now.

Is that the viewscreen/cockpit view in the Tempest?!? Damn, that looks unbelievable better than the Normandy.

Can't wait to see the new mako as well.

Mako looks cool... Tempest sounds cool!!!! cannot wait :cool:

Is it wrong that at approx. 1:30 during the battle scene I had a flash back to 'MARAUDER SHIELDS'

I think the sound of the phaser fire triggered the mem

AshenEdge · 14 Jul 2015 at 21:41

For anyone looking forward to the next Mass Effect there's a great resource over on the Bioware forum with all the latest:

http://forum.bioware.com/topic/5102...es-thread-who-needs-milky-way-anyway-1562015/

Potential Spoilers may be present as some info has apparently leaked such as:

We play as the 'Pathfinder' Protector(?) of the 'Ark' commander of the 'Tempest' (?) many years after the original trilogy and we may see some familiar Spieces and faces!!!! I guess Liara as an Asari could be possible :cool:

Take this all with a pinch of salt though... more like Truck load

as I guess we wont really know until 2016

cannot wait!!!

MooMoo444 said:
I thought they already said none of the previous characters are returning? Seems a bit of a copout if they go back on that.

Perhaps it will be a non-squad mate or something? Perhaps an Asari operative we only had minor interaction with? I'm looking forward to seeing if Andromeda had much foreshadowing in the original trilogy :cool:

SiD the Turtle said:
In terms of old faces showing up it would be difficult. Even squad members with plot armour in ME3 (see: Liara, Garrus) can be incinerated in the final run.

Plus I would guess that this mission to Andromeda set off during the war meaning that any characters we know from the main games can't make it out of the galaxy without having knowledge of how the third game ended.

Would be fantastic to see a wizened old Liara though.

StriderX said:
I wonder how many plot holes will emerge this time?

Haven't you heard that's how we get to Andromeda!!! :confused:

forget Black holes it's all about plot holes in 2016!!!

Moothead2 said:
Replaying the first game now. Are there any good side quests people would recommend? I usually avoid them in games like these as they're often boring as hell. Judging by my playtime of 19 hours I don't seem to have done many first time through, though I do remember one with a big insect queen I decided to save.

Flash back to previous controversies

It's been so long since I played ME1 so hopefully some others can suggest

I'm going to wait until 2016 before Andromeda to revisit the trilogy :cool:

Happy N7 day, & a new trailer has appeared.

....

Happy N7 Day!!! That teaser was an unexpected treat :cool:

Glanza said:
Well that was a twist I wasn't expecting at the end.

Ohh tingle feeling when the chimes drop

Same here, I can almost imagine how epic the soundtrack is going to be!! I wonder if Andromeda will launch on N7 day 2016? :cool:

AshenEdge · 8 Nov 2015 at 11:07

Curunen said:
Very good little trailer.

The theme of ME:A is exactly what I'm looking forward to - exploration, curiosity, expanding our horizons, the wonder of space.

Much better than the dull/monotone war story of ME3 and daddy issues/superfluous characters of ME2.

Narj said:
Bloody annoyed at the insistence on using a new plot, but I suppose there were too many variables after ME3 to continue the story as it was without the cop-out indoctrination theory, which would annoy a lot of people as their "decisions would not have had any consequence". It's a no-win scenario.

I got the "perfect" ME3 ending though so pardon me for being aggrieved at hearing that gasp and thinking I'd get some closure...

Ashe (Lady Insanity) has done a good break down of the trailer with some tantalising theories about how the plots will be linked rather than broken...

The evolution of Dragon Age to the Frostbite Engine brought massive expansion to the playable area and therefore exploration. I have no doubt that ME:ANDROMEDA will offer the same if not more!!! :cool:

I loved wandering across unknown planets in my trusty if not always well behaved MAKO!!

AshenEdge · 11 Nov 2015 at 00:03

An interesting theory about the timeline has been discussed over on the Bioware forum (source of theory unknown but welldone to whoever put it together) :cool:

I know you guys are going to shoot it down so I came prepared :eek:

Do not read if you haven't played ME1,2,3 as there are spoilers!!

As we don't really have anything to go on it's fun to speculate if nothing else

AshenEdge · 11 Nov 2015 at 19:38

JunglistE said:
I enjoyed that!

I'm glad I stumbled across it as well, someone really put a lot of effort into it and made some enthralling theories

Curunen said:
The only problem I have with that speculative timeline is:

Shepard's death is listed at the end of Mass Effect and not at the beginning of Mass Effect 2. This severely grinds my gears because it takes away one of the most stupid things they decided to do in ME2 with the Lazarus nonsense project.

Everything else looks very well structured.

Point taken and understood sir

This is at the top of my 2016 wish list!! The next 12 months are going to be like DA:3's launch I expect so at some point I'm going to have to avoid possible spoilers!!!...until then I'm absorbing all possible news

I echo previous thoughts about hoping the ME 2 and 3 DLC on PC will go on offer but I think I'm probably just going to have to stump up the pennies again. I played them originally on 360 but wanted to play again on PC before Andromeda drops. I guess we can keep our fingers crossed for a Christmas sale :cool:

AshenEdge · 14 Jun 2016 at 14:39

Excitement building!!!

Hopefully they wont reveal too much before release as I felt Dragon Age: Inquisition had a little too much shown before release.

Interesting theories being discussed over at the Bioware forum:

Not sure of source but our choices could be between a brother or sister as protagonist. As the 'Ryder' family are making the journey together apparently?
Is it possible that we're settlers or crew on the mission with perhaps a leadership which will make dubious choices that we have to decide weather to follow or rebel against?
Is the mission Conquest or Diplomacy? perhaps we get to choose how we are going to save humanity?
What ever I can't wait to find out!! :cool:

AshenEdge · 19 Jun 2016 at 15:57

Lady Insanity has done an interesting trailer breakdown which includes some interesting theories about what's possibly going to happen :cool:
