Rumours doing the rounds this morning that the next game in the series will be called Mass Effect: Contact

Rumor: New Mass Effect Is Mass Effect: Contact - GameSided - A Video Game news, rumors, and gamer/gaming site

I'm hoping this doesnt refer to the first contact war as I really dont want the game to be prequel.
Info is seriously scarce at the moment, here a summary fro reddit on what little info is known so far....

''CONFIRMED - WHAT WE KNOW
  • (27 Mar 13) The next Mass Effect game will run on EA's Frostbite 3 engine, which will also appear in Dragon Age: Inquisition - BioWare's next game. Source

Hopefully there will be some solid info at E3. Its my favourite series of games, cannot wait for more details.
 
Contact? Hmm don't know how I feel about that, like you said could mean a prequel.

Having thought about it I have doubts about it being a prequel focused around the First Contact War. It would mean the game would be told from a soley human perspective which would mean no alien or AI squadmates. Cant see them going for that, wouldnt be popular within the community.

I'm hoping it is set a far way into the future after the end of ME3, allowing for the various problems caused with the Mass Relays etc after the Reaper War to have been resolved.

Something wrong with the existing thread ;)
The other one smelt funny. This one is nicer :p

Easier time writing a prequel; but i'd not be happy, i like my blue-boobies with tentacles :lease:
 
Better story arc would.be a wider exploration of the milky way post the events of ME3. It's implied that a very low percentage of the galaxy is explored and that the mass relays may be more extensive than we have experienced.
 
But the entire mass relay network was the weapon,don't see how they can just say " oh but some survived" either way, prequel/ sequel.... I'll be buying :)
 
I bet this game(what ever it may be called) is 18 months away at least
 
I don't care if it's a prequal or see 1000 years after,as long as it's made by the same team who done mass effect and will be based around mass effect,then I will definitely buy it.
I enjoyed all the mass effect games,even the last one.
 
Damn just realised this is all they showed at e3, i got my hopes up :-(
 
They were never going to show much: sell Dragon Age, and dont take away from its hype.
Once that launches, only then will they start giving more MEx details
 
October 2015 if you believe the recent "leaked on Amazon" stories for Mass Effect 4
 
I myself found the roaming and planet scanning tedious and thought they tightened things up through 2 to 3,made things more focused. I don't know about a parallel timeline story.
