Next Mass Effect Title Will be “Epic in Scale” With Number of Explorable Planets – Won’t be a Prequel

BioWare has already stepped into the next generation of gaming with its latest action role-playing video game known as Dragon Age: Inquisition, which hit the market last month and has since gathered a lot of praise. However, gamers are more eager to see the studio’s upcoming next-gen Mass Effect title in all its glory. While news and leaks about the game are scarce, a rumor has just emerged claiming that the upcoming Mass Effect title will be “epic in scale” and will focus a lot more on exploration than any other previous title in the one of most critically acclaimed sci-fi action role-playing third-person shooter video game series.

Next Mass Effect Title Won’t be a Prequel – Will Supposedly Feature “Strong Exploration and Beautiful Unique Lands”

BioWare has been pretty reluctant in talking about the upcoming highly anticipated next-gen installment in its famous sci-fi shooter video game series. Other than announcing that the next Mass Effect would use Frostbite 3 engine for its development, much like Dragon Age: Inquisition, back in November 2012 and then rolling out some details and cool concept art at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, the Canadian video game developer hasn’t given out much, and this is most certainly because there is still plenty of time left before we will finally be able get our hands on the game.

With near to no news, leaks and rumors about the game are pretty scarce too, but it looks like a well-known insider, who himself is a fan of BioWare and its sci-fi video game series, has just come up with some little tidbits of information for Mass Effect fans. According to Shinobi602, the game will have an epic scope with larger scale, thanks to an “impressive” number of explorable planets and unique lands. Putting some hints about the upcoming game on NeoGAF, he said:

“[…] However it’ll be much more open than previous ME games. The number of explorable planets they’re targeting alone is impressive to say the least. One of the new game’s core pillars is ‘epic scale’. ME1’s uncharted worlds done right: strong exploration, sense of discovery, beautiful unique lands. So many awesome additions to the formula.”

Ainda estou à espera do final do ME3.............

[Jorge-Vieira]

Não terminou??? Ou escapou-me alguma coisa?

[Winjer]

Não te lembras da polémica sobre o final do ME3?

[LPC]

Ainda estou à espera do final do ME3.............

Boas!
Para mim o final não oficial é que era...

Onde o sheppard não morre e tudo é destruido...

Não aquele final... Meh...

Cumprimentos,

LPC

[Jorge-Vieira]

Não te lembras da polémica sobre o final do ME3?

Lembro, eu joguei o jogo à pouco tempo.
Sim, na perspectiva de fim aquilo tem muito pouco... mas no desenrolar do jogo até consegui entender de certa aquele final, mas fica muita coisa sem resposta.

[Winjer]

Não são apenas as coisas sem resposta. Também temos a falta de significado de todas as acções que fizemos antes.
Basicamente chegamos a um ponto, escolhemos uma de três opções e game over.

[Jorge-Vieira]

Sim, eu penso que cheguei a comentar isso mesmo aqui no forum quando terminei o jogo.
Mas em teoria o jogo termina ali... mesmo com aquele final.

[Winjer]

Já percebeste porque disse que ainda estou à espera do final do ME3.
Aquilo foi feito à pressa, para despachar a tempo da data de lançamento, como a maioria dos jogos da EA.

[Sardo]

Não só foi acabado à pressa, como pelo que sei, nas costas de grande parte da equipa de escritores. Segundo leaks e rumores da altura, os escritores estavam a planeaer algo completamente diferente daquilo que se passou. Ainda tenho fé que um dia alguém faça um mod com um final alternativo. Se fosse um jogo Valve isso de certo já tinha acontecido... mas a verdade é que se fosse um jogo da Valve era impensável um final daqueles.

[Jorge-Vieira]

Já percebeste porque disse que ainda estou à espera do final do ME3.

Sim, percebido e entendido.
Eu também estou à espera de um final, mas acho que nunca o vamos ter...

The New Mass Effect Aims to Make Players Proud – Will Have a New Feature, and its Own Identity

The Mass Effect franchise has provided gamers with some of the most imaginative sci-fi worlds ever created. The series remains one my favorite and I am eagerly looking forward to more info and footage of the next installment. It is not yet known to us whether it will precede the events and time period of the originals or if it will be set in the future. Regardless whichever it turns out to be, it will surely take us back to the wonderful Mass Effect universe and provide us with countless hours of exploration and exciting “Space Opera” moments.

Some interesting new details on the next Mass Effect

The general manager at Bioware, Aaryn Flynn recently explained that the next Mass Effect is going to be it’s own game and not rely on other titles like Dragon Age Inquisition to find success. The developing team is “very proud” of what they have accomplished with Dragon Age Inquisition, but its success does not “set a template for what every other game we make needs to be”.
He continues that “The next Mass Effect will be (and should be) drawing on its own rich and successful past more than what DAI would say it should do. Take the Mako, something we’ve already shown in prototype form. We had that in ME1, and bringing it back is more related to a feeling that we can do it much better than we did before and fulfill the original promise of that gameplay,” he said on NeoGAF.

Fabrice Condominas, Mass Effect’s Producer at BioWare Montreal, tweeted: “Playing the latest Mass Effect build while listening to Daft Punk brings a weird retro-futuristic tone to the game”. He later revealed though that he was “playing with a new feature”, “although it is still an ugly prototype,” he was happy to toy around with it. It’s not known what this feature is and how it is implemented in the next Mass Effect, but it would be very interesting to find out.

BioWare Working on Online Multiplayer for New Mass Effect Game

BioWare’s new Mass Effect game will feature online play, according to a tweet from Senior Development Director Chris Wynn. Wynn tweeted a link for a job listing for an online content producer on the game.

Chris Wynn @The1Wynn Follow
Things are getting real now and I need an excellent Producer to come shape online for the next Mass Effect





The job posting for Online Producer at BioWare Montreal wants someone to “Create and champion the vision of the multi-player, connected experiences and online features of the game which respects the project leadership goals and be accountable for the quality targets and the results achieved.”
The next entry in the Mass Effect series, set to break away from the Commander Shepard trilogy, is being written by Halo 4 scribe Chris Schlerf. The game is said to concentrate on exploration, and will see the return of the Mako, the infamous ATV from the first game.
Is BioWare’s push for online content in the next Mass Effect game the reason why the company cancelled production on Shadow Realms?

Mass Effect 4 – Online Component Won’t Take Away From The ‘Massive’ Single Player

Mass Effect 3 was both loved and hated at the same time by many players, but the fact remains that it had a fantastic multiplayer suite. Players logged for countless hours into it and it never seemed to subtract from the games massive single player narrative. It seems that the same will be true for the next Mass Effect, according to Chris Wynn, the Senior Development Director for the game.

Speaking by way of his personal Twitter feed, Chris has said,

“If anyone is concerned that online will take away from single player, I assure you that SP will be MASSIVE in the next Mass Effect.” Speaking to a player that didn’t want multiplayer in the game, because there’s always a dissenting opinion, Chris simply said to “keep in mind that many people do.” Another use jokingly asked Chris to promise he would take good care of the game because they were feeling nervous, to which he responded, “I promise and will even pinky swear.”

Jay Watamaniuk, a writer at Bioware recently Tweeted about a company meeting that featured lots of “#space stuff” and looking“remarkable” something that reassures us about the visual fidelity of the game. Of course this is to be expected since the team is working on the Frostbyte 3 engine.

Speaking about the meeting, Michael Gamble, producer on the game, Tweeted out a message saying, “Amazing @bioware studio meeting today. Lots of wonderful Dragon Age and Mass Effect content. I’m so proud to be part of this.”

I am a huge fan of the series and I absolutely loved the original trilogy. It remains one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life and I am waiting with baited breath for any new information on the next installment. More importantly though, I am looking forward to some gameplay footage of the game. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for that, as E3 2015 is not too far off.
The next Mass Effect does not have a release date yet but is expected to arrive on the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Mass Effect “is looking awesome” says the Senior Development Director

Chris Wynn, the Senior Development Director for the next Mass Effect game, took to twitter the other day and responded to a few fans that were asking around about the next Mass Effect. Previously he has stated that The online component won’t take away from the Massive Single player.

Cinematic Teaser quite likely for Mass Effect at E3

There’s not a lot of information out there about the next Mass Effect game, there have been a few tidbits popping up here and there, such as The Single Player campaign is supposedly going to be massive, or that the beloved physics and gravity defying Mako is making a comeback for planetary exploration and such. As well as the game taking place in a new region of space and that it’s not going to be a prequel.

Here we can see Chris Wynn jump into a conversation about E3 and the next Mass Effect game in the tweets below:

Now beyond this it appears that a software Engineer might have accidentally revealed the release date on his LinkedIn page which now is set to private, and that date would be October 2016. Now this would seem kind of plausible since the game was first “revealed” back in 2014, and thus it has been in the works for some time as with most titles. On the other hand most major AAA-titles these days usually end up getting delayed or they end up being severely broken on launch so who knows, 2017 seems to me at least, a bit more plausible.

I loved the Mass Effect trilogy, and I hope that Bioware can deliver once again. What I personally want to see from the next Mass Effect game, is you playing as a “smaller” character, not someone who makes galaxy wide decisions, let me play a good for nothing smuggler or a Mercenary with moral-issues, or why not some Special Forces character. As long as they have an overlapping story tying everything together then that should be pretty doable.
