What I want is a game that I enjoy playing. Can I tell you what needs to be in it for me to be able to enjoy it? No, for everything I saw on paper made me think Fallen Order was going to be a game I wouldn't enjoy, but 20ish hours of playing later I am enjoying my time with it aside from a couple of issues. Its the same with Mass Effect people can stand on a soapbox and proclaim that going back to Shepard and the Milky Way will fix the issues they have, but I am highly certain it won't because BioWare couldn't recapture what made Mass Effect 1 better then the sequels did for me. So will what those people want make a game that I would enjoy. Probably not and that is where game studios are they have to make games they think everyone will enjoy and not just the people telling them what they want to see on social media.
As far as what Casey Hudson posted that probably has zero relation to what they are working on now aside from maybe being basic ideas they might what to try in future games. Its all concept art and if you ever look at a book of concept art there are pieces that will make you wonder how they got from the art stage to what was actually made. I think at the highest levels of EA and BioWare know what direction they are going, but no way are they going to give any real hints to where they are going and I bet they are going to try again and hopefully not fail this time in keeping the game more of a secret then in the past.

Go back n the milky way, with or without Shepard is fine for me. As long as we leave Andromeda, I'm all in. Let's hope too that they will go back to a more mature setting. Andromeda felt so much like it was designed for teenagers.
Well - That's your point of view, and I respect that...
However (and I am far from a teenager). In my humble opinion going back to the Milky Way, and pull out another super hero Shep feels a bit immature. It's the same old, same old concept for the n-th time again, and that direction feels simply boring for me. After the trilogy had ended, it was time to move forward and leave the worn path behind - To explore new directions.
Personally I liked the concept of a guy/woman that gets a lot of responsibility dumped on, and struggles to meet those expectations. It's a tale from someone that is not ready for that heavy load, but still has to pull it off nevertheless. He/she uses silly jokes to relieve tension and weight, because he/she is uncertain if he/she does the right things, and puts up a brave mask to hide the fear deep inside. I can relate with such a person far more than another superhero that's better than everybody else again. I liked the SAM concept (although it was not developed far enough), and would like to see where that would lead to.
I would like to see an Andromeda 2, where the twins have grown in personality, and are more ready to accept the heavy load that has been put on them. I would also like to see that the SAM-Human syntheses would be the key to another step in the human evolution, and maybe the key to the mysterious race that has been vanished in the Andromeda galaxy. Maybe the surge is more than a simple hindrance, but another life form? An life form that only can be understand by a combined AI/Human brain construct? Just a few Ideas.
Anyway - Enough new paths to discover. And, still in my humble opinion, it looks far more exiting than doing that worn out super hero Shep routine another time. I would like to see the ME series evolve in stead of stagnate. Just my 2 cents.
Well said... and I'm just going to do a quote "cut and paste" and say it's exactly how I feel too.

The same here and I will add that going backward to the Milky Way Galaxy will DESTROY Mass Effect as a franchise, MEA2 will save it.

Mass Effect revolves around Shepard, Reapers, Normandy crew, and nothing else to them.
Oh, and rewriting or retconning ME3's ending so they can get a sequel. They've been completely fixated on that for the last 7 years.

Yeah that's the mainreason why I liked Andromeda because that was exactly who Ryder was to me. Or at least they felt like that someone wh owas given an important job but wasn't really ready for it but was willing t olearn and d o their best. I liked the way they used humour to try to get through the situation and and try to ease tensions by doing so I also like how they dug deep to find what was needed to get the job done. Admittedly Ryder did rely a lot on SAM but given their lack of experience overall and the fact that they needed to figure out the Remnant before the Kett did it was understandable. I think lookin gdown a ttheend of the game Alec would have been proud of what their children accomplished in the end.

I wonder what would proponents of Shepard in ME5 say if Bioware will be unable to cast Mark Meer and Jennifer Hale for the role.

I never quite got that "designed for teenagers" thing. All the actual teenagers I know like grimdark just fine. Not all Teenager are into grimdark. Also Most people are not into the grimdark. Grimdark is a successful niche but not the only niche. In Short, Mass Effect don't need solely rely on Grimdark to be successful. Some people need light heart humor. Oh, absolutely. But I think it's fairly safe to say that ME:A's "lighter tone," in retrospect, was a mistake, whether you think this was for teenagers or not. It didn't connect with a lot of the playerbase. Maybe it was just a fault in execution, but my suspicion is that it was actually a conceptual problem and should never have been attempted. For better or worse, ME is in a different conceptual box. On a related note, Bio seems to be increasingly uncomfortable with/bored with/contemptuous of the power-fantasy aspect of gaming, but a lot of their players aren't.

Well I have nothing against MEA in general and Bioware should have a team that devoted to developing MEA while keeping what the Fans of MEA genuinely like about MEA. I know that I am a well known fanboy of the Cerberus Phantom. Well For Novelty factor and Not being Shepard for the Milk way Mass Effect, A dedicated Trilogy(or more games) of how a Cerberus Phantom remained Un-indoctrinated, His involvement in the Reaper War, Addressing the Endings and a Dictatorship of the galaxy and Greater involvement of Harbinger and His development of a Reaper Killer Superweapon on a Reaper Superstructure. Mass Effect for Andromeda and Milk way can have a future

Two pictures show Normandy SR1 and one picture - Mako. Either these are old concept arts or they do indeed make a remaster or remake. But franky I dont believe they are going to remake or remaster ME1 in near future.

I doubt there will ever be a remake, for different interviews I have read over the years BioWare isn't interested in going back to old games and re-doing them. So it would be done by an outside studio so that would be just a HD re-release and I don't see any significant changes to the game itself, but would be modified to work on new hardware and if they have access to the art files putting some higher resolution options for console players.

There is a LOT of unused concept art for the MET hell there is an art book called The Art of the Mass Effect Universe published Dark Horse which I highly recommend that some people here go buy right now, which shows a LOT of unused concept art for turians, asari, quarians, krogan, the ships and some of the major characters (hell there is a whole page that shows all kind of weird and funny unused/rejected designs for Garrus alone).
The fact that Casey Hudson found some old unused, and maybe previously, unreleased concept art from ME1 means absolutely 100% NOTHING. He was just showing something for N7 Day because he had nothing else to show and/or announce other than "We haven't forgotten about Mass Effect!" Anything else is pure fan speculation- which is what causes most of the problems in fandoms- and that will lead only to great disappointment and hatred when the next game is announced regardless if it's Mass Effect Andromeda 2, Mass Effect: The Return of Shepard, or a remaster/remake of ME1.

Andromeda felt so much like it was designed for teenagers. This is why I don’t respect most Andromeda haters... they continually scream about “maturity” like they are still in highschool.

Indeed whilst I respect those that don't like MEA I just think fair enough it's not going to be to evertyones tastes but you have to respect those that do and I think the problem is some of them don't. I was one of the people who did like it and still do as I wouldn't be halfway through another playthrough atm if that wasn't the case. I know I'm not a terenager in fact I'm 41 years of age. I like it because it put a differnt spin on the ME universe and freshened it up which after 3 games with Shep and the ending we got I think it was needed and was the only way I think to carry ME forward as a franchise. Don't get me wrong I loved the trilogy and it's become one of my favouriet series of games to play but after the endings it needed a freshening up if it was going to continue and for me MEA was a good attempt at that

I don't mind losing for sake of plot, but I just wish that the setup didn't have the obvious cutscene incompetence to contrive that loss. A good example was Thane. Guy had the drop on Kai Leng but totally went Leeroy Jenkins instead.
On Thessia, that cheap immunity mechanic irked me to no end, not to mention the fact that the gunship would have been an easy target for my Black Widow. Ultimately, I can take it for what it is and get past that, but man, that post mission email. I don't even open it now. It's just so silly I have to laugh, but it's still dumb.

True, but I still can't figure out why the first Darth Malak fight didn't get the same amount of grief from fans. A well-built PC can thrash him, only to suddenly have to run away because reasons.

Guy had the drop on Kai Leng but totally went Leeroy Jenkins instead. Thane should be resting in the hospital, not fighting bad guys. And who exactly discharged him? People don't usually get to leave the hospital at will (eg. voluntary). The doctor only discharges them if they detect no major issues, however Thane was dying. So he should be in bed resting.

True, but I still can't figure out why the first Darth Malak fight didn't get the same amount of grief from fans. A well-built PC can thrash him, only to suddenly have to run away because reasons. At that one moment, Darth Malak is the leader of the Sith forces, the big cheese himself, and the player is apparently just an inexperienced new Jedi. Kai Leng gets clumsily shoved into the player's face as "cooler than you lol" on several occasions - when defeating Thane, when clinging to Shepard's hover car and finally on Thessia, and each time the veteran soldier Shepard looks like a complete tool. And Darth Malak, as far as I remember, didn't send you a "neener neener" email afterwards. It's like the difference between a light slap on the cheek and three punches to the nose.

I don't mind losing for sake of plot, but I just wish that the setup didn't have the obvious cutscene incompetence to contrive that loss. A good example was Thane. Guy had the drop on Kai Leng but totally went Leeroy Jenkins instead. The same can be said for Kirrahe. The whole thing was bad. Thessia was crap. The best part is bringing Javik to talk smack to the asari. The fight was lame. Leng would be better off trying out for the Olympics with all the cart wheeling he did. With the email, I guess it's one of those things that Bioware thought would be cool to add in the game. Don't know.

Yeah I think the yjust did that in a Leng was taunting Shep in the hopes they could get themto make a fata mistaqke or something. I think it's jus tstory purposes really.
