Eivion Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Probably not much else. In truth I think stuff like this is sort of leaked on purpose to get a feel from the communities at large rather than a few hundred or thousand. Honestly suspect only maybe half the info is legit in terms of set in stone with the other stuff being red herrings and tentative depending on responses.

Big Fresh Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/mass-effect-4-is-not-a-prequel-or-sequel-says-bioware/ The next Mass Effect is not a prequel or a sequel. Yeah, that clears it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I know this is speculation from the article and not Bioware but if it is a "reboot" people are going to be PISSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Not me. I want a reboot. The story is beginning to have too many variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If you want me to have a Dan like rage out - reboot the series It's kinda funny that I will always be remembered on this board for my hatred of the ending. I've said I have minimal interest in Mass Effect 4 at best, and this is kinda why: A sequel means you have to make one of the endings canon or make a TON of work to go from there. A prequel, assuming it's an event that is in the canon already, we already know the result of, and if it's just a reboot then.... Fuck, why do the ending of ME3 at all if you can't make a story following it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I still believe the Pathfinder leak. Which would fit this "not a sequel, not a prequel" story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even if you're playing as FemShep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man Known as Dan Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 *looks for info regarding the leak out of curiosity* Hmm. Doesn't look bad, but it doesn't seem like it should be "Mass Effect 4" either. It basically looks like a side game of the franchise. Also, odd to put that much time into a story that would likely end with "Oh, and everyone here gets the shit killed out of them by the Reapers within a year."

RIPPA Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The thought occurred to me as I was driving home. With Microsoft - in theory - giving people the opportunity to play 360 games on the One. Does this mean that I could play the original trilogy on the One and have my exact saves carry over....

Raziel Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Its possible, I'm not sure what the save file system is in the XBox ecology, or how the 360 emulator is going to handle storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew POE! Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I hope Mass Effect Andromeda is more of a Firefly to Mass Effect Trilogy's Star Trek. Basically no amount of goodwill and helping other alien races will help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically no amount of goodwill and helping other alien races will help you. That is total bullshit. In these games, I look forward just as much to winning friends and influencing people as I do to blowing things up. I am a charismatic coalition builder and a deadly warrior.

You won't be able to play anything but the ME saga. Your wife won't allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 BTW - the original Mass Effect is one of the games Microsoft has in the preview group for backwards capability. So yeah... still playing these fuckers over and over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Excellent. Gonna buy the XBone later this year, so I'll look forward to running through it again. (Just started ME3 with my Renegon FemShep Infiltrator run) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
