At least it's incredibly rare that anybody posts in this thread who doesn't discuss ME4. To not miss news about XCOM2, you have to read pages upon pages of XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within and Long War discussion. Let's wait until we have more info before creating a new thread.

The Mass Effect lootcrate is on sale now, but probably not for long: https://www.lootcrate.com/specialty_crates/masseffect-crate

$75 within US, $105 outside US. In my currency that would be $147. FML :(

Bioware cronie: It's Me3 stuff that never sold.
Exec: Do we have an outlet mall we can sell it at? I hear that's a good place to sell poo poo no one wanted in the first place. Apparently, people go there thinking they will find deals.
Cronie: Nope, it didn't sell in the first place because people could see it.
Exec: Ok, how about we box it up, don't tell people what it is but tell them they are paying 1/2 price. Will that work?
Cronie: It's possible. We'll still make money because none of this cost more than a dollar or two.
Exec: That's great, let's try it.

Didn't some guy in SA-Mart once rip off a bunch of gullible goons selling the same exact kind of thing? I've played enough ME3 multiplayer to know that crate is prolly just gonna be filled with worthless junk.

Oh man, a lot of people bitched about the Fallout 4 crate, but if I get a sweet bag and other cool stuff it had, I'll be happy. It also came with a Dogmeat plush. If this has a varren, or hell, that talking elcor plush, I will be super stoked!

Also I hope it has something turian or krogan themed.

Not that I didn't love Star Tours when I was a kid.

They got a new Star Tours and it's insanely sick, C3PO accidentally pilots the ship and they pick some random child or grumpy-looking old man to be a Republic spy and Darth Vader tries to find u and there are like 30 possible different rides because it's randomized every time. I would hella ride a Mass Effect Star Tours that has a random chance of taking me to Thessia

Hopefully they'll release the film in 2D as a download or whatever, later on, for all the lore/franchise fanatics who can't make it to US theme parks.

Holy poo poo, I'd love to see this in person. Normally only franchises I don't care about get this kind of treatment. Seeing how it's "4D", is the extra dimension the smell of a certain quarian's sweat?

It will be a moving ride where you wear 3d glasses. There will be screens and actual physical props. Hence: 4d.

Happy N7 day, my brogans! EA Portugal let leak a video early: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21XPbzHdJ8w

It's Jennifer Hale narrating over what's mostly stock footage, but at the end we get to see what's possibly the new ship! :toot:

I really hope there's more info than this to come though...



EDIT: shot from trailer:



What does the dogtag say? "Ryder"? Protagonist's name, anyone?

edit 2: maybe a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Ride, like Shepard was a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Shepard

It will be the spirit of Shepard in a reaper, that way you can pick all three members of the team and the leader will be temporarily indoctrinated with Shepard like Saren was with Harbinger at the end of ME1. Control was the canon ending.

I'm hoping they just ignore the RGB/Starchild all together. No one would complain about that hand wave.

I told you that story so I could tell you this one...
Moving to a new galaxy and forgetting most of the other series is good. The story of the characters/most races are complete anyway. To add anything more to the Krogan or the Reapers or the Geth or Garrus would just feel forced and stupid. Though there might be a few decent callbacks here and there.

Anyway, if we're to assume that Shepard's narration in that trailer is canon, then the only ending option is Destroy. In Refusal, everyone dies. In Synthesis, Shepard dies (and I highly doubt they're going to have the entire universe as hippie cyborgs in Andromeda). And in Control, Shepard no longer identifies as "Commander Shepard", so she wouldn't speak like that in the first place. So Max EMS Destroy is the canon ending.
