MASS EFFECT ISN'T DEAD [BioFan Video]

Why's anyone so hooked on the quarians? I can be a prophet and tell you what happened to them. They got boarded by Kett and Ryder had to take care of the invading forces to save the day.

No, what's bothering me aren't the Quarians but Garrsens murder. And I'm mildly annoyed by the benefactor too. The Quarians come last on that list, only in competition with Ryder's mom, since a possible cure would take time.

...no? Mirandas story is done. So are the rest of the characters in the MET. At best maybe they could give her a cameo but i even doubt that.

That's why I'm pretty sure the franchise is indeed on ice for the foreseeable future. They've painted themselves into a tight corner on every possible level. Outrage vs lukewarm doesn't sound like an appealing business decision to make, if you want to promote a new product.

i guess it depends how bioware is looking in ~5-6 years. if anthem's reception is lukewarm i could see them wanting to return to mass effect to create more buzz. if anthem is a smash hit and bringing in tons of money, they really have no reason to return to mass effect again other than nostalgia

How do people feel about Bioware rolling out a middle market offering to continue the story of ME:A in the hope of generating a bit of enthusiasm for a sequel? Something in the manner of a Telltale adventure, exploring some of those unresolved plot threads and introducing a few new ones. The costs of doing so needn't be prohibitive and could go some way to reengaging fans of the IP who were left disappointed by Andromeda.

I wouldn't mind such a game. If they can get the Mass Effect community on board and excited they'll have the audience and because costs are lower they can afford to be more risky and less safe in their offerings. Bioware's games have been a little too safe of late.

So if Ryder returns, its a preorder. If no Ryder, no preorder.

my biggest concern is a direct sequel to Andromeda. Preferably with Ryder. Though i kind of like mugwumps idea.

No i mean a game set in ME universe much like destiny, for me after the OT that was the way forward, i think BioWare was to "affraid" to do it with existing ip hence Anthem, wouldn't surprise me to find out it was discussed though but ultimately dismissed

No you can't answer for him. He made the claim, he should be able to back it up. The fact that he cant shows he is reaching from a can of tinfoil hats rather than logic.

As for your amswer, still does not make sense.

1) Bioware was able to work on SWTOR all while still making DA and ME games, all of which got SP DLC.

2) That still doesnt answer as to why EA didnt just skip MEA and go straight to Anthem.

3) It doesnt match EAs battle rhythm of milking games. If MEA did so well financially....and if the demand was there for SP DLC, why ignore the money? If your answer is because they wantes to focus on Amthem, then refer to #1 and #2.

so yeah, still waiting for smilesja to back up his claims.
