If they do make the game come AFTER the original trilogy, how do you think they'll do it? Pick one ending as the canon one and roll with it? Or just do their best to ignore the endings?
Because, for instance, I could see them just ignoring it. "Oh, you picked destroy? Yup, that's totally what happened. You picked control? Yup, we controlled those bitches, but then they all broke down. Synthesis? Yeah, I'm part-robot. Refusal? Yeah, everyone died, but look! We've got some suspiciously similar descendants who've spent a couple millenia hiding on moons!"
I dunno, I have a feeling that's what they'd try.
The main thing that surprised me more than anything was the report I read that says Mass Effect 4 will be using the frostbite 3 engine, makes me wonder how much this sequel is going to vary from it's predecessors from a technical perspective.
I admit, I didn't actually know what that implied when I read it.
Hopefully it means much larger scale & the lighting should be stunning to boot. Mass Effect always had nice views but artificial pre-rendered ones most of the time, maybe the engine will help rectify that. Also easy adjustments or any additions to playable code can be made to console and PC versions of a game simultaneously. That way, a level of consistency can be maintained between platforms. Plus the visual improvements as texture detail is dramatically increased, with more complicated lighting and shadowing, as well as more environmental deformation.
By that you mean "we can break ****," right? I like breaking ****.
It will be a completely different game set in the same universe. I love references, but when they actually continue with the same storyline. Man, I'll be ****ed.
Indeed. But I'm not sure what they could do that WOULD be completely different. And I'm afraid they'll try to stay too close to the original and end up screwing it up. Or go too far away and I'll lose interest. But getting a happy medium would be damned difficult.
I just wanna see Tali's face. Or that of any Quarian. And no, that photoshopped stock photo doesn't count.
Did you finish the game after they did the... extended cut ending? At least mine, where I preserved the Quarians and the geth and then went with "synthesis," they showed other Quarians who, yeah, looked like humans with a terrible purple photoshop-derived skin condition.
Which is sad.
