I fly a starship across the Universe divide and when I reach the other side I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can. Perhaps I may become a highwayman again.

Or I may simply be a single drop of rain, but I will remain and I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again.

Skin-tight suits should have looked like Missy Elliot music video from the 90's in both gameplay and in cutscenes.

As for country in my Mass Effect game, this song always plays in my head when using the Paladin in MP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgvxu8QY01s

So my prediction is that there are two main characters, a male and female. You can play and customize both.

Well maybe not prediction, but it'd be cool. Switch up between missions from being a vanguard to infiltrator, have one be paragon and the other renegade, etc.

Not sure I personally like the idea of having two main characters. Now being able to run missions major or minor as one of your squadmates would be a cool feature. How fun would it have been to play as Wrex?

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until I see more, but in allegedly ~3 years of development all we're getting are incredibly generic visuals and a setting that has nothing to do with the previous Mass Effect games. Maybe that's exciting to some, but for me it's saying "we have no idea what to do with this franchise, have no creative direction, and will feed gullible gamers whatever vague industry buzzwords they want to hear up until release."
The teaser depicts someone choosing where to go and instead of one of the crazy alien worlds they choose space Utah so I'd say you're probably right.

Trast posted:

I don't get why you guys are upset about a Johnny Cash song in a teaser trailer. Some of his songs were straight up apocalyptic. This was probably just Bioware trying to conjure up an idea of the frontier without dipping deeply into the folk and early country music that would be more appropriate but considered un-hip for the E3 hipster techie crowd.

I don't dislike Johnny Cash or think it's inappropriate, I was joking about them blowing their whole budget on a glorified cameo like Bethesda did with Oblivion.

If humans are in uncharted territory and looking for planets then earth-like ones are going to be a high priority, so that makes a fair amount of sense. A world of constantly shifting, neutrally buoyant, brightly colored gases with constant electrical discharges might look cool as art, but that's not where you want to colonize.

Holiday 2016 gives us enough time to get a remastered ME trilogy released on the XBOne before then...right? I'll take the trilogy on backwards compatibility if it's not super janky, but I see all of these pretty HD textures on the PC versions, and I get jealous. :ohdear:

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Charge already screwed things up in the ME 2/3 engine so I can't imagine what it would do to ME 1.

EA just confirmed this week that while they did consider it, they've ruled out doing an remake/remastered version as they feel it's better to devote the resources to making new stuff instead. Can't really argue with that.

Works for me. Those remastered games always labor under the fact that prettying up an outdated game doesn't make it stop being outdated. Remaking ME1 into something actually fun to play would necessitate almost as much effort as just making a new game from scratch.

Besides, after everything that they got from ME3, I think they'll want to stay as far away from that setting as possible.

Rogue AI Goddess

I enjoy the sight of humans on their knees.
That was a joke... unless..?
There's one thing that I hope to see in ME4, and that's a proper Paragon experience.

Sometimes, I just wish to play a big drat hero who unironically saves the day. Not a helpless pawn of circumstances trying to choose the lesser of evils in a gritty GRRMdark setting and failing miserably. Not a slapstick comedy deconstruction of heroic tropes who rolls eyes at the camera and winks 'heroes are so lame, amirite?'. Not a reluctant amoral badass who just goes through the motions to get the world off his back. An actual hero who can swoop in, save everybody, convince evildoers to renounce their ways, absolve the innocent, bring peace and prosperity to the land, and, when push comes to a shove, step in and hold the line.

And if I can get that, I'm OK with the jetpack. All the better to get there in the nick of time.
