That's the expectation. It'd be surprised if it makes it and then yet again if it's good. I've already accepted that the series is done, so I guess I can only be positively surprised, which is nice.

Stop beating that dead horse. It’s been dead since part 3 ended with a wet fart.

Move on and make the next original idea and stop tying yourself down to pleasing fans and shareholders. You end up with uninspired mediocrity.

Very little chance of this being good, BioWare fucking blows. They should give this franchise to a new developer that’s competent and less focused on writing HR compliant dialogue.

Andromeda was a good game after they fixed all the bugs. All they have to do is launch it in a playable state, which is nearly impossible for modern devs

[-] bread@feddit.nl 11 points 4 weeks ago

I played it, and what sticks in my mind isn't bugs, but poor writing and uninteresting gameplay. I think it's middling at best and a terrible entry in the series.

I thought the story was great. It started slow but really picked up in the second half. And the gameplay really reinforced the idea of exploring a new galaxy by having the Mako driving around interestingly designed planets, instead of the boring procedureally generated ones in ME1. The only thing weird about the gameplay was having a jump button but I got used to it pretty quick.

So 2030 at best for a new game

Bioware dodged making a milky way game after ME3 and didn't make anything compelling for andromeda. 2030+, 18+ years after ME3 release, got to keep any expectations super low especially after Veilguard happened where that at least had the David Gaider lore bible to finish off the plot threads of the first 3 games. Bioware characters and multigame plots from scratch modern Bioware, that is not an exciting prospect

Ffs bioware, your last two "story-heavy" games were both IP "extensions" and they were both pretty meh. Cook up something new for once, see where that goes. Because I guarantee that yet another friggin attempt at mass effect will not go well. That story was cool, it ended and it is now done. Leave a good thing be and think of something new for crying out loud.

Are you telling me that after buying that random $400 coat glimpsed in the last 4 years of N7 Day teases, there’s still nothing to show for it?!

Because that would be shady for them to be selling $400 coats that are “featured” in ME5 if this game doesn’t actually happen, and we know that game companies, Post-ME3 BioWare especially, wouldn’t lie to us!

Yeah refuse to believe it's real until it's in my hands. Markets and suits want us to be hyped, but I've been fooled before.

[-] lath@piefed.social 3 points 4 weeks ago

Well, the pre-production is real. Remains to be seen whether production and post-production will be real as well.

I heard the original dev teams out of college kids are making it.
