According to Bioware project director, Mass Effect 5 will be made by the original Mass Effect Trilogy veterans

Great! Now stop calling it Mass Effect 5 as Andromeda was such a mess and should not be counted as part of the lore.

At the very least, call the new one Mass Effect 4.

For me, Mass Effect is in a similar spot as Game of Thrones right after seasons 7+8. ME5 is following up multiple stinkers (ME3 Endings, ME4) but it could end up being a good game.

I'm not gonna hold my breath for DA4 and ME5, but if Bioware surprise me I'll give em another chance.

I thought the 4th was pretty good. It was just released a year too early.

Do you guys think BioWare will be euthanized before Dragon Age 4 launches? Or after it flops?

When the game was announced four years ago the dev progress was at 1%.

Now it must be 5% max. I doubt this will ever release
 
Who would have thought monetization plans weren't going to be the primary concern for future BioWare games under EA?

Who are these vets btw? Names carry weight, not vague assertions. I feel like we should see how Dragon Age 4 turns out before getting too excited. That might be enough for Papa EA to do the needful.
 
Some members of leadership, clearly, from the tweet, but that doesn't equate to all of them or the staff, nor does it account for the company cultural and technological differences. This sounds like some hopium sniffing to me. Hasn't Bioware been gutted over the years?
 
For any of you who didn't play ME2 and want to play it one day, maybe midway through the game there is a Battle Rifle (googling it I think it was the M-76 Revenant). It's a high powered fully auto rifle that's basically a machine gun. Do what you need to do to upgrade the Accuracy of it (I forget how). You'll be mowing down enemies in record time. Without upgrading accuracy is has lots of recoil
 
REALLY hoping for BioWare to return to form. The original Mass Effect Trilogy were some of my favorite games of all time (specifically ME2). Recently re-played the trilogy through the Legendary Edition last month and had a blast with these games all over again. The fact that Anthem and Andromeda turned out so awful was SHOCKING to me, because I always held BioWare in a very high regard. Hoping Mass Effect Next is an absolute BANGER.
 
That just means people who also worked at the studio during the time they made ME1-3. Doesn't mean any of the relevant people will come back.

The blue haired, non binary, social justice obsessed individual writing the latest Dragon Age is also a Mass Effect vet. That doesn't give me any confidence the next DA won't be trash.

They can technically say as long as one of those guys was in somewhere in the office during ME3.

It means jack shit.

I like that they are trying to drum up interest in the crowd who loved the first trilogy. I'm just not entirely convinced it is more than a marketing ploy at this juncture.
 
Vets like how? They were interns cleaning toilets at Bioware during ME development?

Besides, I thought all the important "vets" are working on that Exodus game..
 
was Mass Effect THAT good, really? Methinks not. Even when I played it AS they came out (mind you I only played 1 and 2) I thought they were good (combat was mid, but reactivity/C&C was good), but masterpiece level? Not even close.
 
I thought they were calling it ME4, since Andromeda was a separate title? Just confirming, this is the next one coming up, not the one after it, right?
