Hey, BioWare without EA? Sounds great. If the Electronic Assholes will let go of DA and ME.
I think there was perfect closure for the Mass Effect trilogy, but I’d still happily get a new one!
Still, I’d be scared of the new one destroying the magic.
Sometimes it’s better to stop when the story is finished…
I’m also tired of sequels, but a new one could never destroy the magic. The original trilogy won’t vanish or something.
Well I’m still trying to recover from Metal Gear Solid V and forget about its existence in order to be able to fully enjoy the old ones.
Prometheus did damage my love for the Alien franchise.
Not everyone is the same I guess😅
Have you seen the ideas the devs had for the new game? I think they put a lot of thought into respecting the OT. It wouldn’t be a direct sequel, no more than TNG was a sequel to the original Star Trek.
To be honest I didn’t and I haven’t watched the trailer.

EA won’t let it away. Meaning IP rights reclaiming after 35 years(!)
Bioware’s IP is not worth as much as they think. Mass Effect 1 was a great game, not because of the story but despite of it. And then it was ruined after the first one. Remember thermal clips? The giant skeleton shit ending? That’s a franchise killer and ME3 was a zombie, never played it after the second one ended in that travesty. Then they diluted it further and made absolutely plain there’s nothing to yearn for with Andromeda (did try that one, it manages to make a scifi RPG in a great engine that’s so boring they’d have to pay me to finish it. Dragon’s Age was completely wrecked and unappealing even before they dropped the abysmal Veilguard. Bioware hasn’t made anything good in about 20 years (since the original Mass Effect). I didn’t play their Sonic Chronicles from 2008, but everything I touched after that was safe slop with all the modern-console-rpg irritants and no soul.
Practically the only franchise they haven’t thoroughly fucked & compromised is MDK. MDK2 was a good game.
It would be crazy (and interesting) if it became a federally funded effort. I think some governments have thrown cash at games, but fund a majority?
It is basically Canadian cultural heritage, though.
