Game Lookout: Mass Effect(4?)

With just a few months away its about that time for E3, and that means tons of gaming news and announcements. A lot of the talk will be focused on new titles and ips, but there will also be a ton of news about some of our favorite established franchises as well. Franchises like Mass Effect. Fans have been waiting to play the new entry in the Mass Effect saga ever since they first announced it was in development , and the anticipation has only risen since. We've  already whipped up on Reapers, and its almost time to put boots to asses on the next villain to threaten galactic space.

Bioware is said to be releasing developer diaries for the game sometime in the near future, but until then we will have to play the waiting game until we get some solid info. One of the biggest questions so far is the time and setting of the game. And what about Shepard and the rest of the Normandy crew? Maybe they will do a prequel and give us The 1st Contact War. I’m sure a game centered around Admiral Anderson would be awesome, he was the first human spectre after all. Going that route would also allow us to get some more backstory on Saren as well. No matter what fans are excited for a new Mass Effect, waiting and hoping for answer to exactly what happened to all those characters we spent the last generation getting to know and love (and hate).

The universe Bioware was able to create is so rich and expansive, full of stories and worlds unlike any other game. To just start all over possibly in  different time or universe? The idea almost sounds preposterous. Almost. This is Bioware were talking about. I personally have faith in Bioware, and have never been let down by the developer( I don’t play Dragon Age, and did not mind the ending to ME3). Even if the game doesn’t star or at least show my Shepard in some capacity, I know they’ll still create breathtaking new worlds and characters we’ll all grow to love. Some badass, some sexy, all worth being part of the mass Effect universe.
