Release a remastered trilogy. After that, announce ME4 is in the works with Shepard returning.

This is just conjecture on the part of the article's writer. I'm not sure it holds any more weight than what people are saying here. I mean, it says "has since been warmed back up" but what does that mean? Nothing substantive. It could just mean some dev somewhere is think about it.

If BW is going to go ahead and choose a canon ending for the next ME game, they may as well cement it for the ending of a remaster. Otherwise, I don't see the point.

It's still early to discuss anything regarding a potential future ME game (beyond the realm of pure speculation, that is), but if I were to give my opinion...
Well, they released Andromeda. Independently of people's opinions on the game's quality, they'll probably consider returning to the land of bioelectric blue/pink aliens and Grineer-looking mofos.

That's not the same thing, though? EA isn't big on selling the IPs they've acquired over the years, they seem to prefer letting them rot, or turn them into mobile games. See Command and Conquer, Dungeon Keeper, Ultima etc.

It boils down to the same result in the end: not playing another Bioware game. But it's still not the same thing as saying I wouldn't play another Mass Effect game on principle because I hate Bioware now or something. I would LOVE more Mass Effect stories - in theory. I just have zero confidence in it being any good under EA. So why would I wish for one to be made? That's all.
I would want it to return as a series of small scale standalone games with a ton of choices. Detective story on Omega, space pirates... Non human protagonist or race selection. I would be fine with ANYTHING that sheds more light on all the alien races and their societies.
Sadly, EA has no interest in any of that.

I don't believe they would have to. After finishing my first ME3 playthrough, I heard the guy say one more story. My thought right away was Shepard is returning for another game. Don't know how many thought the same after their first playthrough. It's possible that new people, who buy the remaster, would think the same. The other is the story the guy told the kid. For him to know what happened on the Citadel, someone had to be there to tell what happened.

I just want some fun times and a chance to explore the characters I loved a little more. Some of the themes we'd explore may not be as "fun", but that depends on what one's definition of fun is.

Bringing back many of the characters we know strikes me as a bad idea. They're not going to be able to handle all the variables from ME2 and ME3 well -- ME3 could barely handle ME2 -- so best not to rub our faces in it too much.
Though I'd be OK with a game set a few hundred years later with a few people back. Maybe have Liara come back as something like Kreia from KotOR 2.
As for the article, it's reasonable. Probably about where the median poster here comes down.

Thats what should happen IMO too, first. "From the creators of MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA and ANTHEM comes MASS EFFECT: ANDROMEDA 2: MY FACE IS TIREDER: MEMED HARDER: SUBTITLE" Now, of course this is a parody exaggeration, but people will think something along those lines. This will be people's perception of it. They will expect memes. Maybe Pewdiepie will make another video about it in the end, who knows? This is not a battle Bioware wants to fight, nor one they should. And if they do, I hope, sincerely, that I won't be back here saying I told you so, the day after, followed by yet another Schreier article. Because on that day, Bioware Edmonton will sure look a lot like Bioware Montreal. You may think this is mean, not giving the devs the benefit of the doubt, predisposed even. But it sure is a hell of a lot better to be served a hard truth today, than a termination of contract tomorrow. Think of the likelihood of all this being a reality.

Same topic as always here. Nothing new here. Gamble announced weeks ago that "Mass Effect is not dead, etc." Casey blogged much the same thing also ages ago.. so people can just re-read all the other threads around here.

For a new game, I would also say that the following thread covers the topic: bsn.boards.net/thread/14101/mass-effect-speculation-official-thread?page=68Until then I would love it, if they would bring out a big unexpected expansion pack to MEA that brings the Ryder story arc to a point where Bioware can choose to leave it at and change direction for the franchise again. So an expansion to close the benefactor chapter and to show us more about the Kett empire/Jaardan/scourge/Andromeda on a wider scale. If they then want to solve the bigger Andromeda questions later, that could be done with a different protagonist far in the future when probably also a link back to the Milky Way has already been established. The expansion pack should come out in the old DLC style: Release just a few weeks after the surprise announcement.

Either Mike Gamble or the BioWare twitter feed has been posting a lot of "Mass Effect" stuff recently and I don't think it's by accident.
MY wish is they do something with "Andromeda" as it's basically a clean slate as I just don't see how they can continue with Shepard's story given the divergent endings of Mass Effect 3. Maybe they could create a game where the choice is either Shepard died in Destroy or absorbed in Control as they aesthetically could still be very similar where only references to the outcome are the difference but Synthesis is just too different from the other two in terms of world state.
Also, I'm not sure a "remaster", essentially a new coat of paint, would do much for the first "Mass Effect". While I still play it once a year, I know a lot of people that just download the Genesis DLC and start with ME2. Also, the game already includes "Bringing Down The Sky" DLC so it's not like they can market it as "Now everything included!" since who the actual hell still wants to play Pinnacle Station again (HA!)?
Now, if they did a "Trilogy" package with all DLC from the games plus alternative outfits, guns, extras that could be pretty popular and certainly earn them money but they are back to square one if they have the same ending.

So we're going to keep acting like none of the things that have happened so far were real? Is that what you guys are telling me? That we're gonna keep our heads down and maybe act shocked when Andromeda 2 ends up like Andromeda and Edmonton closes its doors? Does anyone here need me to repeat the tired old adage of what the definition of insanity is?

I truly wish for another ME game with Shepard. But I realize the next ME game will be a live service game with multiplayer. I just want a remaster of the OT, preferably not in the frostbite engine. I don't want them to ruin Shepard. He and his story is the only good thing ME has. So after a remaster, they can do whatever they want, without the inclusion of Shepard.
