Since Casey Hudson started hinting about there being more Mass Effect in the future: "...we hear loud and clear the interest in BioWare doing more Dragon Age and Mass Effect, so rest assured that we have some teams hidden away working on some secret stuff that I think you’ll really like – we’re just not ready to talk about any of it for a little while…"many people have been very excited about the prospect of this game, even if it's likely still a very long way away. But we don't really have a thread where you can just come and share your general anticipation about the next iteration of Mass Effect, so here it is. Just to be clear, not every post has to be 'full on fan-boy/girl', but I'd ask posters to keep generally in the territory of positivity. We're not looking to get into fights with skeptics in this thread, mostly ignore them if they swing by, or direct them to their own thread: The Mass Effect 5 Skepticism thread - bsn.boards.net/thread/15773Occasionally we'll move other hype posts or threads in here that didn't really justify being a thread in their own right. That's it, I hope you will gain joy, discussing your excitement with other people who are seriously hyped about more Mass Effect.

I just hope that the next mass effect will eventually be andromeda. If it's not, they need a closure for it in an expansion or something otherwise they will make things worse.

I'm not hyped about ME5 since ME4 hasn't been released yet.

I'm not hyped about ME5 since ME4 hasn't been released yet. I agree. There's no need for "Mass Effect 5" threads (hype or skepticism). If there will be another ME game, it won't be numbered as five. ME4 would be a sequel to the original trilogy, but they can't carry on from ME3's absurd endings. I'm pinning more of my hopes on a sequel to MEA, that could be numbered as 2, but I hope they'll forget about numbering games and give it another name.

Things that I'm excited for in a new ME game:
Lots of new aliens Interesting worlds that vary greatly from each other. Lots of new guns and armors. I like Ryder, but if they go with a new main character, I want a more in depth character creator. One where I can alter eyebrows. More tattoos. Maybe synthetic parts.
I am so hyped for a game that I'll be nearly 40 when I finally get to play it! I am hyped. But man, it's years away.

I still believe MEA was being gauged against the entire MET rather than ME1 on its lonesome. If we're going to drop the friendlier protagonist for another seasoned soldier, I'd just as soon let the franchise die. Shepard 2.0 doesn't hold a lot of interest for me.

While Dragon Age has introduced a new protagonist for each installment, Mass Effect, in the MET, stuck with a single protagonist throughout that series. I hope that MEA follows the MET model … for however many installments, until we reach an appropriate conclusion to the "Ryder" Mass Effect series. It could be a trilogy, it could be four installments, it could wrap up after just two. But tell the story.
As far as the carping about it not being "ME5" … it will be the fifth Mass Effect title, for now it is a reasonable working title. It could go in a new direction, retiring Ryder, but I doubt it will be in the Milky Way … though eventually, the series might bridge the gap between the two galaxies … with a Mass Effect relay. I'm guessing that will take a while (maybe another decade) … by then, some of the butthurt over ME3 might have faded … or that element of the fan base having moved on / died off … whatever … so worrying about what ending is canon might not be quite such an issue. And I really don't care which ending becomes canon. I will, as they say, deal with it.
I look forward to new stories in the ME universe. I loved playing MET and I really did enjoy playing MEA. All lumps and bumps aside, MEA was worth my time. If they do two more games with Ryder as the lead, by the end, I will probably feel a similar affection for MEA that I feel for MET. But Shepard's story has concluded. Someday Ryder's story will be over. And if the stories continue to be compelling, interesting and worth my time, I will look forward to the next protagonist after Ryder, in the ME series.
For now … I look forward to what I hope is the continuation of the MEA saga. With a lot of lessons learned from MEA incorporated … more polish in the writing (not just graphics), more compelling side quests. New stories about the various squadmates … and new squadmates … to make me care as much about them as I did in the MET.

To me there is no Mass Effect 5 cause there has not been an Mass Effect 4 I.e. there was no Cmdr. Shepard after Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect Andromeda is of itself a new game. That's at least how I see it.

The only option I see is to reboot the trilogy to have a sequel to the trilogy.

Why do they have to make a sequel? I thought the Reaper threat was concluded in ME3?

I love both Ryders and hope they return. I want them both awake and interacting with each other, dammit! Also, I want save game importing, because despite its shortcomings, it's amazing to see the changes from PT to PT. It's one of ME's best innovations since the dialogue wheel.
I don't want to go back to square one. Characters and plots can be improved, they don't need to be scrapped.

I don't think it will be game saves, but instead the Mass Effect Archives thing they released last N7 Day and that be like the Dragon Age Keep.

It would be risky to make something completely different to Andromeda because building everything up from beginning means you won't have the benefit of retrospect thinking like we have now with Andromeda, but I think they need to move forward in time so the outposts will have real cities. And imagine - they find a cure for Ellen's disease 30 years into the future when Sara and Scott are the same age as her. That would be freaky, and cool. But perhaps too philosophical/mature/disturbing for ME? If there is a new protagonist and new crew (Vetra could join as an older lady, considering turian life span, and Peebee would still be young), if it's not too much into the future, there could be plenty of references to the old characters so people who love them wouldn't feel so disappointed. They could have cameos every now and then as senior advisors or something. Like Liara in ME2. In the end, it would only suck for those who like the human squad members, and my hunch is that the majority prefer the alien squaddies. I don't have an issue with the characters, I just think they deserve better writing. The biggest issue is that Andromeda is still so underdeveloped in terms of infrastructure and societies that we are missing out on the cool urban settings we had with the Citadel, Illium, etc. Perhaps it would take a few decades until they find some new information on the Jaardan mystery and the Kett. Perhaps they could figure out how Kett travel between clusters so MW species could do that too. And the new crew would be tasked to explore that.

I do recall them stating ME4 wouldn't make much sense in making. I agree. Three potential endings effectively makes sure it's a trilogy and not a quadrilogy, pentalogy, etc (I had to look up those words here). When trilogies start adding prequels and sequels it just gets worse. Just look at Star Wars... (for more of that discussion, go to The Lobby and check out the SW thread, which is always near the top.)

Yes, and the whole time it was being made, they always talked about it being planned as a trilogy, and nothing more.

No its not. Have Little Duck and the other ducklings waddle their way back to the pond while Bioware brings in new and improved Ducks if they choose to have another game in Andromeda I really don't get the hate for Ryder. It boils down to Ryder being too goofy. I have two theories on why that's a problem for people in Andromeda: Firstly ME is sci-fi, and sci-fi's always been the serious big brother in speculative fiction. To the point where they used to look down on fantasy as the silly little brother. So I think goofiness in fantasy tends to be more acceptable because it's fantasy right? Who takes magic seriously. Secondly, the trilogy was about military and people expected Andromeda would be the same. But Ryder isn't military and so wouldn't be as serious as Shepard. I have a problem with Ryder but it's more to do with a lack of choices in her dialogue, but I'm always about the choices. Anyway that's just my opinion on why Ryder's unpopular, have no clue whether it's right or not, just my observation.
