Mass Effect 4 details are finally revealed.

Mass Effect 4 details are finally revealed.

Calling it Mass Effect 4 isn't really fair or representative of the project, according to Bioware's Community Manager Chris Priestly. And yet despite all of this lots of fans will still know it by this name (at least for the time being).

The next Mass Effect game won't be set as a sequel to the original games. Priestly commented "We have already said that the Commander Shepard trilogy is over and that the next game will not feature him/her. This is the only detail you have on the game." 

Yanick Roy, director of Bioware Montreal, also discussed more thoroughly why you shouldn't consider the next Mass Effect game a sequel:

"Mass Effect 4 would imply a certain linearity, a straight evolution of gameplay and story of the first three games. But because we are switching to a new engine and need to rebuild a bunch of game systems, we have an opportunity to rethink how we want these systems to be going forward instead of just inheriting them from the previous games. Story-wise, the arc of the first trilogy has also been concluded, and what we will do is tell a new story set in the Mass Effect universe."

Notice how he said 'the first trilogy'? Could there be another one in the works? He also added one very interesting line:

"That doesn't mean that the events of the first three games and the choices you made won't get recognised, but they likely won't be what this new story will focus on."

You can also expect to see the same alien races, technologies, the lore and history in the new game, since that's what makes these games Mass Effect titles. Could this be some form of sequel instead?

While these details are quite small they do give an indication of where the game is going. VGU will keep you updated on all the news for it so keep checking back!

Personally for me I think it would be cool for one of the squad members you can recruit in Mass Effect 4 to be the offspring child of Commander Shepard and Liara T'Soni, now that would be a bad ass Asari!

I totally agree, i have talk to various people during muliti-player about that, and besides most says more "love scenes" an offspring of Shepard would be amazing. Going the the rebuilding of the planets and mostly new characters but with a few select old ones aka Liara.

Yes, you have the right idea but i also think we should have the ability to play as Shepards kid or at least be able to serve with him in combat

I was thinking the exact same thing. If they want to do a more robust character creation system (where you can choose your race/character traits), make it a reward for transferring a save-game in which Shephard has a love interest. It doesn't just have to be Asari, either. It's conceivable Shephard could have mated with Tali. Like the "changes" that get made in 2 and 3 for transferring saves, it doesn't have to amount to much. Some different dialogue here and there, and maybe some additional resources starting out (c'mon, the offspring of Shephard is going to get some of the gratitude for their parent's heroics).

I dont understand why all these ppl come here to say about shep's children and stuff if you can pass by the trilogy without a single companion or maybe you can have and he's now dead. I think that ME is becoming oo much sexual, in a nerdish unhealthy way. The ME universe is far more big than just romance and sex, as you can do a lot of other plots based on some other things. I hope the next trilogy is based on a more original stuff than next gen kiddies.

I believe that if a child of sheperd is to be seen it would be brilliant if the child was a girl and that way it can include almost all romances (obviously not the male shep homosexual romances or or any femshep romance other than liara) and that the child could be half human and half whichever other race it is, such as a half quarian child or obviously a full asari child or even just a human child, but it's up to the makers, my personal opinion is that the best way would be a half quarian kid as tali's romance was by far the most meaningful and the dextro-levo protein thing would be like in the underworld awakening movie when there was a half vampire half werewolf child. all in all the best way would be to see the kid, hell maybe even have it see the their parent to see what happened to them after the battle.

now see i agree but there are cases where you dont do the romances at all in any of the games. i know people who have never even heard of the romances u czan do till they beat the game so in those cases an offspring of shep and liara would be unlikley but that would be bad ass

I hope that Bioware understands that by making a new set of games based on a new set of stories, they could end up being one of the best story tellers in gaming history or one of the worst companies for cashing in on a franchise that should be left alone.

I was expecting that the new Mass Effect games would be set in the past before the Humans, Asari, Quarians etc. were evolving into individual space fairing races.
Maybe playing the futile war as the Protheans or as another technological race before their ascension into space travel.
The possibilities are numerous but the one thing that Bioware have to be careful with is not messing up the timeline, or the franchise itself.

Maybe it's time Bioware moves on to something else and instead created a whole new adventure for us.
Mass Effect was/is amazing but I, as I suspect like many others, would prefer to see it left alone on the high it finished on.

I don't think that they would have us play through the Prothean timeline sine we all already know how that one ends. Doesn't leave much room for the unknown, does it. If they do decide to go with the Protheans I don't know how much fun I, personally, would have fighting a war that I know no matter what I do I'm going to lose.

The thing is, Bioware IS moving on from this story and the most important thing for us as gamers and fans to do is to look at this new game as just that - a new game. It WILL be a whole new adventure regardless of the world it was placed in. They said it themselves, calling it ME4 would be a disservice to Shepard. Don't think of it as just another Mass Effect game because I don't think that that's exactly what they're aiming for.

In my opinion, if they really wanted to cash in on the franchise they would have stuck with the same old characters. Who knows, maybe they'll make the game so far into the future that we're meeting Commander Shepard's distant descendants. Fans just need to get used to the fact that Shepard and his/her crew are not going to be main parts of this new story if they have a part at all. I would personally hate to see them throw Shepard in there because Shepard was all about choices, his/her personality was based on what we wanted him/her to be like and if they have Shepard in there at all it'd be like they were suddenly a whole different character then what we remember. Does that make any sense?

"On the high it finished on"... The third game for myself and many others was highly disappointing. A good game but far from the great one that the 2nd or 1st one was. They need to get another mass effect game out to wash away the bad taste 3 left in many of us. It did NOT end on a high it ended in a disappointing way that needs redemption.

I was thinking while playing 2 & 3 this week, running around omega and the citadel, hearing about organized crime and drugs and such, how awesome it would be for a mass effect based around a C-sec operative or such, with the obvious cameos, Easter eggs and such for a heads up at the fans. I think that sort of story would be good set in the ME universe. I would like to quickly disagree with pickable races, it would cause to much tension for the writers involving the story, knowing EA, they will be rushed again (Ea is the worst publisher ever.). not saying you would have to be human, a playable turian or quirian would be cool. (asari would but people would complain about not being able to be male, also they have a super life span, so.. yeah). But yeah biowere, throw in a cop theme, dark theme and some of that classic ME material, i would defiantly buy that the first day it comes out.

I think when creating your character in the new game a choice of which race you can be should be available e.g. asari, quarian, turian, krogan .etc. Also i think Bioware should add more detail about the main character's past as well, (I feel that was lacking with Commander Shepard.)

I don't think we should have the opportunity to choose races at all. I think that would complicate things, think political affiliations and whatnot, to a degree it doesn't have to be. I think it benefited the series to have a predetermined species and affiliation. We chose how the story played out, but that was it (basically).
I don't want to play an Elder Scrolls game set in space, I want to play another story centered around a character worthy of idolatry, just like Shepard. Shepard was inspiring, and the series was an emotional roller coaster. If Bioware can create another series/game with those kinds of elements, I will definitely be all over that.
We need space though. Don't take that away. A turian crew member is also a necessity.

They should make it either that Shepard had a kid and the main character is his son / daughter that he had in me3 when he was with marianda and secretly she got pregnet by sleeping with Shepard and never telling him or he died before she could or make the game like with Shepard and his team from me2 and me3 all together

No, no, no, no, no. good idea, but that would take the freedom of what we had in the previous titles, by freedom i mean, make your own shepard, gender, background, etc. we need a non related character, someone else to leave his/her mark on the mass effect universe, don't get me wrong, cameos or even major parts involving characters from the previous titles is a must, (liara is like 24 in asari years) so if based after the events of 3 (and she lived) she would be in there somewhere, even just in a new report, if not directly, references to Shepard will be there. while your theory is nice, it's saying "This happened" when we all know, it might of happened, depending on whos playing and what their character did etc. you shouldn't be able to take that away form the ME universe, it always needs to be a living thing. last thing we need is bioware "fable 3'ing" it up. :)

Vannie that was confusing but not impossible. Judging by the bad quality of the ending and the bad quality of the publisher -even with the Ending Cut DLC, nothing is really impossible. On my opinion, Bioware should send EA to hell and go back solo style. Or maybe with the Demiurge Studios as it was on the first. ME4 plot; Shepard awakes and the war is not over yet, and it's even worse. Your save game is used and them it's suicidal mission time. Time travel, another galaxy, second ancient crucible... whatever. Anything is way much better than that crap we saw back on 2012.

Shepards choices must be in it whatever for me the ability to make the choices was one of the best parts of the trilogy

:o What the hell are you on about?
Just because the small boy at the end asked for another story about Shepard doesn't mean he is alive.
Infact, the Shepard we knew did indeed die, as he/she was told would happen by the boy giving him/her the options to save the various races from the Reapers.
The tale told at the end of the game (the last cutscene as voiced by Buzz Aldrin) was of one of history.
A story being told about how he/she (Shepard) saved the galaxy.

I do agree with you that it would be stupid to change the story of the game and i'm struggling to know what they will do with a new Mass Effect.
Personally, i think they should just leave it alone and move onto something new.

I actually like the idea of a new series starting up, separate, but relevant to the previous titles.
I'd like to see, a starting point as your own character, as whatever available races,and genders the developers allow, in a selection of starting points much like the previous ME titles. Shepard could be a colonist, or whatever you chose as a back story.
Picture yourself a Turian, give her the Adept class, Say she grew up on the Citadel, And has always wanted adventure, Had a few run ins with C-sec as a troublemaker. So your game will start you as your character, on the Citadel, in C-sec custody, waiting for to be released, and from there on is all chance, and choice.
But that's just what I want, Not like that would ever happen.

Like many fans i spent a lot of hours in the mass effect universe and would hate to see all of that wasted. Hopefully there will at least be an option to import all of your choices into the new game, maybe interactions with surviving characters. The characters, after all, are what enticed so many gamers to spend hours upon hours building and customizing their squads. I just hope all of that isn't simply discarded by the developers.

As long as it has many of the same features whereas we make choices throughout the storyline that affect outcomes and present us with more choices, I will be happy. I really enjoyed this feature of the games. Allowing myself to become immersed in another world was amazing for me. I also think the romancing can be taken up a few levels...why did we have to wait until the end to actually engage in love making? Mass Effect 3 also had way too many little side treks like looking for an obelisk for some person on the Citadel. The affect appeared to be minimal to null. Maybe some more significant side missions. I loved how ME2 was laid out with missions to gain trust of squad members. I was not happy that was removed from ME3. I'd also prefer many more possible places to dock or land regularly. ME2 seemed to have the most. ME2 was my favorite of the series, while I liked the weaponry best in ME3. No matter how it is made, I am ready for the next one. I've played through 2 & 3 so many times it's become boring. I never cared for the first one, but the first one was very clunky with weapons and I hated the Mako...never, ever got past it and gave up on ME1.

The problem with going back in time is that you automatically guarantee that the story cannot be as epic as this trilogy was. No story that takes place in the past in this universe can compare with taking on the Reapers. Either they go back to a previous cycle, and we know that you lose in the end, or you stay with this cycle and simply have a less epic story. Fighting some sort of war could be cool, but it would feel less important than playing as Commander Shepard taking on the Reapers. Dragon Age 2 had the same problem. Let's hope ME (not-4) will not be the next DA2.

Personally I would like to see the story go into the future and mess around with the ending. I've heard these indoctrination theories... maybe a plot twist like that, which is revealed at the beginning of the next game. The hard part about going into the future with the ending(s) as they were is that they theoretically have created different future paths. Regardless of what ME4 ends up being, as long as it has a good multiplayer I can't complain too much.

"Could this be some form of sequel instead?"

It seems that way, reading the information given in the past, it seems that they think people think by a "sequel" trilogy, and calling it Mass Effect 4 that we think its a continuation of the last trilogy and Shepards story.. thats why they're always saying what they're saying. What else can we call it if not ME4? It's the 4th game to be released, we cant call it ME1 can we?

The game can still take part during, or after the first trilogy. But not share the same story and all that other stuff.. I guess we could see or hear news reports if during the trilogy about Shepards missions and random choices he made maybe? Or maybe if set after the trilogy, other minor things could be added.

Who knows. I just hope that theres actually a branching story this time around, rather than following one story with the odd meaningless branches that get explained away in the sequel as being something that would've ended up going that way anyway so you didnt exactly matter to the story. Maybe if they took their time and actually did come up with multiple ways to complete the game? Nothing like "Oh hey, heres the ending, how do you want to end it?" Instead they should branch the shit out of it and however you've played the game, theres a clear way the game is going to end for you.. so instead of saving 5 minutes before the final confrontation just so you cansee all 3-4 endings. You have to redo the entire game again just so you get to see all possible endings.

It's just my opinion though no need to go spreading it around.

I Have played the mass effect series for as long as the games have been out I've bought every DLC and a fan of the novels. They say the stories of Commander Shepard are now over. That disappointed me knowing that we may never see the same crew or characters like Joker,Tali and Garrus. It would be nice to see a few familiar face in the next mass effect series. I have to admit though it will be exciting to see what the new mass effect series have in store for us. Though like a said before i would like to see some familiar faces. Tali would be my preferred character to see back in the Mass effect series as she was my favorite int he Mass effect Trilogy.( Go Tali )

ive played all three games and have enjoyed all of them, the fact that what you do has an impact is great. I think it would be interesting to choose what race you are from a select few human/ asari but that just my opinion. I hope that the same level of story is in there as the story and action was very well balanced. Also depending on the time frame of when game is set pop ups of old characters of ones that link in

I was hoping that mass effect 4 would be a continuation to ME3, just because I have heard a very intresting theory of that commander shepard was indoctrinated and he was only dreaming the end of ME3 (the part where you choose your endings). it would still be fun to fight the reapers....

I actually really want to see either the Rachnni Wars, or the Krogan Rebellions. One of the biggest secondary points of the series was to be 'a champion of the Krogan people' as Wrex put it. And Tuchanka was shown to be a very beautiful world in mass effect 3.

.
And frankly, they are without question second only to Shepard in terms of bad-assery. imagine trucking through the campaign as a Krogan.

It would be nice to include a Shepard offspring but also a little unrealistic unless said offspring was an Asari. It would also be a bit unfair to the players who played as a FemShepard and didn't romance Liara(we're talking six months between games here). In addation to hinging the plot(if these would be the main character) to the Shepard trilogy, which Biowire isn't leaning toward.

I'd like to see how the overall end choices would impact the next game. things like if you let the Rachni revive(clone or Queen from ME1) The reconstructin of the Krogan(under Wreve or Wrex)
Krogan retaliation for faking a cure Geth's future and what do we do without the Cidital. Hoping for the relays to be reconstructed. Mabe not make theme the center peice of the game but have them play some sort of role in the next game especialy if it's going to be the same universe

Please, please, do whatever you'd like with the new story, but at least give us some closure on Commander Shepard.

(I.E. let him still be alive after ME3, and living/lived the rest of his days on Rannoch with Tali. ((In my story)) Shepard deserves a happy ending.)

What I would like to see is better powers...ME2&3 were about the same except for some small variant but the weapons are awesome.I'm a long range shooter so when i got a good rifle like the indra i thought it was a great weapon or the blood pack SMG...so add or change the way some powers work or give the ability to combine powers into one like a special unlock in the game and not a DLC or pre-order special.

.the best for new mass effect it to go into a future and the story should be that you can pic one of all civilization and play with it and there should be a massive battles and all of that some thing like that

would love to see the history of shepard around the universe think that would be amazing. also that the new character is the son/daughter of shepard with whoever you romanced :lol: . i would also love if you could go to planets that havent been explored yet while your playing the game. but its also sad to see this trilogy come to an end :sad: :cry: .

Would be great to play as Shepards offspring, however what if you were a female shepard it doesnt quite work unless you romanced Liara, but i do think it would be a good idea. Could also have Vega as your captain or Williams(Alenko if you saved him) as Captain so you can still get some relation back to Shepard and if they do let you play as Shepards child then whatever happened in the trilogy has an impact on how people look at you

I would love to see the age of the protheans or first contact war as a storyline maybe when the protheans came in contact with the reapers before mankind, turians ect. To be honest i prefered Mass Effect 2 from 1 and 3 its then final battle going up against the collectors traveling though the omega 4 relay Ficking Epic. :D

One thing for sure is I'd love to see another game in this
Universe. :D
I just hope they get it right though. They could go down as absolute legends, or..... you know.....not.

i dont think that the next installment of the game should have Commander Shepard's offspring or should be a prequel to the reaper invasion, if this were to happen i believe it would leave very little room for the franchise to further grow, however character race selection should be a feature in the game and in future it could be bigger than the call of duty franchise

Guys the first trilogy was AWESOME and many people i know dont want to lose squad members like Tali or Garus. Please at least leave the few characters that survived when the Normandy crashed. :)
