Q: I wanna believe this but if you have a source to verify the ME5 team's got trilogy veterans that would really be worth a lot

A: EP, Art Director, Creative Director, Game Director are all trilogy vets.

 

[Complistic]

I'll be shocked if "Bioware" ever releases another game.

 

[Quasicat]

Great! Now stop calling it Mass Effect 5 as Andromeda was such a mess and should not be counted as part of the lore.

At the very least, call the new one Mass Effect 4.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Watch as these people leave one by one during 10 clusterfuck years of development.

 

[dotnotbot]

Don't give me hope

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Casey Hudson coming back too? I need another napkin ending.

 

[ungalo]

except the writers i guess

 

[AzekZero]

For me, Mass Effect is in a similar spot as Game of Thrones right after seasons 7+8. ME5 is following up multiple stinkers (ME3 Endings, ME4) but it could end up being a good game.

I'm not gonna hold my breath for DA4 and ME5, but if Bioware surprise me I'll give em another chance.

 

[Thanati]

Good. The 4th was an abomination!

 

[whyman]

except the writers i guess

Yea! They got those Sweet Baby writers now instead.

 

[Investor9872]

Good. The 4th was an abomination!

I quite enjoyed it, which is different from the masses.

 

[killatopak]

The well is already poisoned. This is gonna be a monumental task to steer the ship the right way.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Won’t change anything about the end product though with today’s policies… Especially with EA…

 

[Topher]

Man......I hope this is good. Love me some Mass Effect.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Do you guys think BioWare will be euthanized before Dragon Age 4 launches? Or after it flops?

 

[Thanati]

I quite enjoyed it, which is different from the masses.

Hey, each to their own.

 

[Topher]

Good. The 4th was an abomination!

I thought the 4th was pretty good. It was just released a year too early.

Do you guys think BioWare will be euthanized before Dragon Age 4 launches? Or after it flops?

 

[Flabagast]

When the game was announced four years ago the dev progress was at 1%.

Now it must be 5% max. I doubt this will ever release

 

[mansoor1980]

mildly optimistic

 

[Topher]

mildly optimistic

Character customiation for the win

 

[Kacho]

Who would have thought monetization plans weren't going to be the primary concern for future BioWare games under EA?

Who are these vets btw? Names carry weight, not vague assertions. I feel like we should see how Dragon Age 4 turns out before getting too excited. That might be enough for Papa EA to do the needful.

 

[ricardo_sousa11]

So this time Sweet Baby Inc will be envolved from the get go.

 

[Majormaxxx]

There's a huge difference between:

-THE original trilogy veterans

And

- original trilogy veterans

We are getting the B team at best.

Also:

 

[Paltheos]

Some members of leadership, clearly, from the tweet, but that doesn't equate to all of them or the staff, nor does it account for the company cultural and technological differences. This sounds like some hopium sniffing to me. Hasn't Bioware been gutted over the years?

 

[Topher]

Ya'll a bunch of jaded sons of bitches, ain't ya?

 

[Chuck Berry]

So we're getting back both doctors, Mac Walters, Drew Karpshyn, Jack Wall and Casey Hudson?

Fuck outta here

 

[StreetsofBeige]

For any of you who didn't play ME2 and want to play it one day, maybe midway through the game there is a Battle Rifle (googling it I think it was the M-76 Revenant). It's a high powered fully auto rifle that's basically a machine gun. Do what you need to do to upgrade the Accuracy of it (I forget how). You'll be mowing down enemies in record time. Without upgrading accuracy is has lots of recoil

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

REALLY hoping for BioWare to return to form. The original Mass Effect Trilogy were some of my favorite games of all time (specifically ME2). Recently re-played the trilogy through the Legendary Edition last month and had a blast with these games all over again. The fact that Anthem and Andromeda turned out so awful was SHOCKING to me, because I always held BioWare in a very high regard. Hoping Mass Effect Next is an absolute BANGER.

 

[GreenAlien]

Let's hope it's the ones who made the first game.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The well is already poisoned. This is gonna be a monumental task to steer the ship the right way.

And my right nut says it'll be steered directly into an iceberg

 

[Kacho]

Ya'll a bunch of jaded sons of bitches, ain't ya?

 

[Gudji]

Michael Gamble I remember him from Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem.

 

[Topher]

 

[Fbh]

That just means people who also worked at the studio during the time they made ME1-3. Doesn't mean any of the relevant people will come back.

The blue haired, non binary, social justice obsessed individual writing the latest Dragon Age is also a Mass Effect vet. That doesn't give me any confidence the next DA won't be trash.

 

[Griffon]

They can technically say as long as one of those guys was in somewhere in the office during ME3.

It means jack shit.

 

[NickFire]

I like that they are trying to drum up interest in the crowd who loved the first trilogy. I'm just not entirely convinced it is more than a marketing ploy at this juncture.

 

[Svejk]

Vets like how? They were interns cleaning toilets at Bioware during ME development?

Besides, I thought all the important "vets" are working on that Exodus game..

 

[Clintizzle]

I love to get hurt. Lets fucking go~!

 

[Pimpollo818]

was Mass Effect THAT good, really? Methinks not. Even when I played it AS they came out (mind you I only played 1 and 2) I thought they were good (combat was mid, but reactivity/C&C was good), but masterpiece level? Not even close.

 

[Dazraell]

I'll be shocked if "Bioware" ever releases another game.

There are rumors that Dragon Age is set to release later this year. But if this will tank, their next game being released may indeed be put under a question mark

 

[gunslikewhoa]

And how many trilogy vets worked on Andromeda? Did those mentioned here work on Andromeda?

 

[RAIDEN1]

The big question is will we get it before 2028

 

[LordOfChaos]

I thought they were calling it ME4, since Andromeda was a separate title? Just confirming, this is the next one coming up, not the one after it, right?

 

[nani17]

If it runs on that piece of shit frostbite engine that EA love I don't care at the moment

 

[Coconutt]

 

[Fabieter]

Never played mea but iam optimistic for a new game more on vein with the trilogy.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Casey Hudson coming back too? I need another napkin ending.

Yup. The guy they overruled everyone and pressed for BS “three colours” ending.

 

[Majormaxxx]

Ya'll a bunch of jaded sons of bitches, ain't ya?

Fool me once, buddy, fool me once...

 

[Killer8]

Sounds like they just gave the janitor the director role.

 

[StueyDuck]

we'll see.

wait till blackrock get involved.
