Haha I forgot I posted that love scene thing. Just laughed at all the reactions lol. Reading it in the proper voices sounds funnier then when I typed it haha.

But to get on topic,

A trilogy version for PS4/XB1 with all single player DLC and 1080p60 would be epic and much appreciated. I'm convinced it's being worked on and hoping it will be announced at E3 during EA's press conference.

I'm a writer at a big brazilian gaming website and according to reliable sources, the next Mass Effect game is called Origins and is the first part of a new trilogy. Also, it's NOT a prequel. If someone is interested in the full story (in portuguese), here it is

Krogan origin best origin

Spoiler

Seriously, that can't be the game's actual title, right?

 

[Ivory Samoan]

If it's part of a whole trilogy, I'm in like Flynn.

Don't care if it's called Origins, only care if it's great.

Mass Effect: ORIGINS and it's NOT a prequel? Holy damn now i'm hyped.

 

[Renekton]

I remember the thread on BSN about..."Jiggly Quarian bum bums" and Tali's sweat. The horror.

I think the jiggly bumbum is about ME3 multiplayer.

If it's Origins it's changed from Contact.

I just had some good laughs going through this old thread about the creepy bioware forums.
It also still cracks me up that when Bioware finally revealed Tali's face it was some stock internet photo put through photoshop.

 

[Spectromixer]

Mass Effect: Origins, available on Origin

 

[prag16]

I like the sound of Contact better than Origins (even if it's not a prequel). Working title maybe. Regardless, not sure how Origins makes sense for a non-prequel.

Guess we'll hear something Monday...

The Tali Sweat analysis was certainly one for the ages.

I wonder if the rumors of an additional treatise on Quarian urine were true...

Maybe it will have actual "origins" like the first Dragon Age game.

 

[Dany]

Calling it origins would mean bioware is comparing it to DAO. That's GOOD.

 

[Lakitu]

So apparently Casey Hudson's going to E3. Hmm...

Isn't he on a different project? New ip iirc

I think he still has a role on the new ME to some extent.

It would mean that EA doesn't know many words.

It has to be there now. I take this as a confirmation.

Plz be a good omen.

Nah, that's just a stock subtitle. (See Rayman Origins, Arkham Origins, etc.)

Would you guys be disappointed if it were the Xbox One exclusive game?

You are at least right it isn't a prequel

 

[Fruitster]

Would you guys be disappointed if it were the Xbox One exclusive game?

As a big Mass Effect fan who owns a rather shit PC and a PS4, yes. I'd buy an X1 for Mass Effect, but I'd much rather see the game as X1/PS4/PC.

 

[dr_rus]

Would you guys be disappointed if it were the Xbox One exclusive game?

No. I just won't buy it. I'm finding it very hard to care about anything ME after ME3. But if ME4 will come to PC and get good reviews I will. If they'll push XBO on me for that - I won't. Easy.

 

[Tony Redgrave]

Would you guys be disappointed if it were the Xbox One exclusive game?

I'll be happy as long as it does come out for PC. I'd rather it'd be multiplatform though which will be.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Please don't disappoint

 

[RulkezX]

Lucky Kagari and Shinobi have both said it's not.

 

[OsirisBlack]

I own both consoles and would be very disappointed, that would force me into buying it on PC.

 

[Melchiah]

Same here. I won't be buying a system for one game/series, no matter how much I liked it. I'd just skip on the game, or wait for the timed exclusivity deal to end. I skipped REmake for exactly the same reason, eventhough I would have loved to play it.

 

[Maligna]

I really want options to play different races, ala Dragon Age: Origins.
Are there any hints of this happening?

Investigating the origins of the enemy threat maybe?

I'm European Portuguese but I should be able to read the article.

 

[SugarDave]

I'm not going to let myself get too excited. I don't expect anything more than a short teaser similar to that of Battlefront 3 and Mirror's Edge 2 last year.

For now, I'm happy with just finding out the general direction they're taking the franchise in.

If you are going to play M31 please remember to add this mod,

Example: Showcase
Direct Link: Head over here

I am testing it now. As a headsupwarning if you do want to try it, follow these steps;

Step1. Install the latest ME1 patch
Step2. Extra all files from the mod.
Step3. Run as administrator the installer.

Before you do anything check that you have the appropriate Direct installed for this game.

 

[Andodalf]

Alright, time for some hopes!

Can we finally have a working communicator this game? I mean geese, we lost our signal so many times in the trilogy!

Also, they better make a new trilogy. Knowing people made me 2 and 3 far better than they are in a vacuum.


How would a first contact war work me style? You would have no aliens on your ship!

 

[Ivory Samoan]

Please don't disappoint

This pretty much... I don't know if my heart could take it.

...I'm not even joking, It could seriously hinder my health if this was a lemon I think.

 

[Jezehbell]

Hope the next Mass Effect will be mod-friendly

It's hard to create a beautiful FemShep without mods

 

[Dany]

My femsheps are attractive, it's the cheekbones that hard to nail.

 

[Derp]

The ME1 Citadel honestly blew me away. It was the most unexpected and amazing thing i'd ever seen from a space game. The amount of detail and effort put into that place alone is what made me fall in love with the game and in turn the series.

Please, Bioware. Give me a huge, immersive, lively, next-gen Citadel and i'll be happy. As well as other planets and their respective trade space stations (like Illium and Omega in ME2, etc... But bigger and more next-gen).

Why the fuck did they include an option of film grain?

I like the film grain. The dirtier look fits the 70s/80s aesthetic they were going for.

If you don't like it, turn it off. Problem solved.

The film grain is beautiful. I was very upset about it being missing in ME3.

 

[wolfhowwl]

Is it known if Mac Walters has a role in developing the new game?

I have no interest in seeing anything Cerberus related ever again.

He is doing some writing on this game, but its not clear whether or not he's actually the lead writer. It doesnt seem like it though.

My only hope for E3 is that Mass Effect 4 is not a prequel.

 

[BrassDragon]

My only hope for E3 is that Mass Effect 4 is not a prequel.

My feelings exactly. If they want to get this franchise out from under the shadow of the ME3 finale and the character of Shepard, the best way is forward, not back.
