Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production"

I don't think Larian has experience working with games like Mass Effect, especially 3rd person games.

It would be an interesting challenge though.
I wouldn't want them to make it in 3rd person. Their isometric style is flawless for Mass Effect. Imagine how in depth the combo system could be if made by Larian. Think of that for a sec. Then the writing, character building, etc. They're perfect for Mass Effect.
 
Given their string of failures, this is likely Bioware's last shot at AAA development. If Mass Effect 5 doesn't resuscitate the studio's success, I'd expect Bioware to end up on The Pile®. Given the clear importance of ME5 in that environment, I'd imagine they'll be taking their time to try and get it right.

Judging from the time taken in production, there are definite issues, game is going to be a mess probably. The ability of the gaming industry has gone backwards.
 
Maaan, it feels like yesterday, when I jumped into this franchise with mass effect 2 being the first in the trilogy.

That shit was and still is one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. Now look at these shitty companies. No one manages to pump out games anymore and the worst is even if they do, they end up crap.

I wouldn't hold my breath for this studio. Bioware doesn't exist anymore. Didn't even play failguard, even though it's on plus.
 
This was my favorite series back in the 360 days. Now I don't see why they feel the need to continue it. A new one won't ever capture that magic. Just make something else fresh.
 
This is why every game after Shadowgate, has been a death spiral towards westchestertonscrewmylifeville.

The dozens of us who still play the game know this!
