Any word on ending canonization? Cuz synthesis in particular seems like it would need its own game. No, but I imagine that with the years passed, Bioware could come up with a retcon of sorts. They had a chance to do that with the remaster but they didn't. So they are gonna be sticking with the endings. I admit I was dissapointed when I heard that and it caused me not to buy it. I mean I have beaten all those games more then twenty times each so just having updated graphics isn't enough to get me to buy them again. Point is they had a chance to retcon the endings and they didn't. So they will either have to make things cannon or not go back to the milkyway.

Well not for the MET but for a future Mass Effect game in terms of the affects the ending had on the Galaxy.

I don’t really see that confirm Refuse or any ending as canon. Those Reapers could either have followed the Arks this outside the armada’s range when the Crucible activated, or even already been in Andromeda.

You don't divert that many ships as you are waging a war, this was a fan proposal by a Bioware employee, so there isn't much to it other than it is an interesting concept.

Refuse is just a fancy game over. Sincerely doubt Bioware would ever choose it as the canonical ending for the future of the series.

Refuse is just a fancy game over. Sincerely doubt Bioware would ever choose it as the canonical ending for the future of the series. You miss the point of the refuse ending. It is your only option to to not play the Starbrat’s (and thus Biower’s) shitty little game of, “pick one of these three things you are not, and become that”. And also to register you displeasure with the choices. It does indeed end in a game over. But on the players terms, not fucking Hudson’s and Walter’s. Thats why those cockroaches, realizing that refuse was the middle finger of the player raised to them for their shitty endings, modified refuse for the EC. So, give’em the fucking finger!

The teaser looked like it was going to canonize the destroy ending, not refusal. Liara wouldn't still be alive if refusal was canon, and there would've been no dead Reapers for her to walk on to get to Shepard's old N7 helmet in the teaser.

If so, that means Shepard survived the red ending only to die or left his/her helmet on that planet? Does that mean there will be one more story from the guy explaining how Shepard's helmet ended up on that planet? Why is it being recovered now instead of when Shepard was on the planet? Unless someone put it there for whatever reason.

It'd be kinda weird if they included Andromeda and didn't skip 600 years. Tech wouldn't be THAT much of an issue if we're primarily based in the Milky Way, Andromeda would just need to play catch up. Potentially they could incorporate some of the endings that way too, like maybe they've discovered the magical green beam synthesis on their own by now. And yeah almost everyone would be dead but it's probably a mistake to cleave too close to nostalgia to carry a series anyway. And it'd be interesting to see what Matriarch Liara would be like after 600 of being the Shadow Broker.

No matter what ending there was so much would be destroyed and she was barely hanging by a thread with the destruction of her ship and now she likely wants to do something else. She is also MUCH more famous now so being the "shadow" broker might not even be possible. Obviously I could be wrong though.

Andromeda is the best way to continue cause it's so much easier to continue building on that story, characters while adding some new ones too, world and the possibilities are infinite. Plus it's so much easier to move all the assets that are already being build, adding new ones will take them very little time and resources. Also they won't have to canonize an ending, it will be like Shepard's choices have been lost in time but we'll see about that. I'd say its the worst way to continue because trying to build on something that bellyflopped is a terrible idea. Having a Milky Way story that acknowledges the existence of Andromeda in some small way is the best way forward.
You know if you go to places like Steam, Amazon, and The MS Store and read the player reviews they're actually quite positive to MEA and IIRC MEA was the best game in the series according to Steam Users aka players.
MEA didn't bomb, it took time but it's finding it's audience.

Someone would fill that info/power void if she opts out and i wouldn't see her being keen to just let that happen.

After all shep is probably due a nice retirment after saving the milky way.

I never hated MEA although it was my least favorite ME game if you exclude the ME3 ending from ME3. However as the mass effect trilogy are my favorite games minus the last five or ten minutes, so it doesn't mean I hated it or anything like that. However when the update to the bugs and some animations came out the game got much much better as the biggest issues were resolved. My point is I think it was not about finding an audience but them fixing the worst bugs and animations. Now I really really like the game. Ironically my biggest complaint now is I didn't like the combat that much. In my opinion ME3 had the best combat.

They just grabbing Tali and legion to bring them back too so when Shepard wakes up the entire gang is there.
The game begins with Liara in a church and from there she tells wrex they're getting the band back together to save the church. So she rolls around the galaxy telling people she's on a mission from the goddess resurrecting squad members as she goes while singing blues music with various celebrities along the way. Eventually after a series of unfortunate events and assassination attempts by Carrie Fischer, the defeat of terra firma party skin heads and hanar country music death squadrons, csec finally launch the largest police chase in Hollywood history put a stop to their antics.
But not before they deliver the money that can save the church.
Mass Effect 4: Asari Blues Brothers.
The journey continues.....

As reported in the ME5 Speculation thread, the official MEN teaser trailer has been removed from YouTube and yet still available on Facebook. At first we thought Bioware was gonna pull a surprise move (remove the teaser, up player ante, release a bit more to tease the fans) but with nothing related to ME5 well, it is getting worried due to their recent DA4 issues.

My current (wishful) thinking theory (and hope) is that the next Mass Effect is some sort of time travel or alternate universe adventure (at least at the beginning)

Sounds like you don't actually read those reviews. Almost all of the most helpful voted reviews point out how the game falls short in various ways, it simply isn't as bad as some people claimed it was. But w/e live in the clouds if you want.
