http://blog.bioware.com/2012/11/12/an-update-from-bioware-montreal/
| Quote: | | That evolution now takes its next step, with the news that the next Mass Effect game is already in development, driven by the team here in Montreal. |
Who are the developers, BioWare Montreal?
| Quote: | We started by building about half the cinematics for ME2, then most of its N7 missions, and finally we played an important role in the development of much of its post-release content.
Then on ME3, we took charge of the multiplayer portion as well as making significant contributions to the single-player campaign. Most recently, we built a large piece of DLC that will be released on November 27 and that you know under the name of Omega. |
BioWare Edmonton still involved, albeit less than ever before:
| Quote: | | To ensure a proper and effective transition, we’ll continue to be supported by the Edmonton studio through the game’s development, working with and learning from them on some critical initiatives. On top of that, Casey remains the Executive Producer, but he will have a Project Director under him, working in Montreal, leading our development team and making day-to-day decisions for the game. |
The engine is the customized Frostbite 2 build to be used for Dragon Age 3:
| Quote: | | There is really not much I can tell you about the game right now, except that it will be built with the amazing technology of Frostbite as its foundation, enhanced by many of the systems that the Dragon Age III team has already spent a lot of time building. |
More news.. not coming soon:
| Quote: | | We’re all looking forward to telling you more about this next Mass Effect game, but it’s probably going to be quite a while before you hear from us again. |
Bring it on.

Nope, bring it down!
I don't see how this series can continue if you take into account all the different choices you make for the universe in the third. Guessing they take away your specific choice and force on you their own with the 4th. You know aswell as i that your choices in this series means shit.

Yeah, we don't need yet another prequel. Prequels, prequels everywhere!

Last time I checked the Kotor games were pretty well received, despite being prequels of the definitive end of the SW series.
Unnecessary? Sure. Awesome? That as well.

Sure, it can be about the Human-Turian war.
I'm fine with whatever they make as long as it's far aways as possible from the demented ending.

Do you honestly think the difference with ME4 "prequel" will be as big as kotor for the SW series? honestly?

I wouldn't say that the problem was necessarily with it being a prequel... the problem is IMO the developer 
After ME3 I dunno exactly what to think about a new Mass Effect game developed by biowarEA

It's a (semi-)new developer as well. (Since they did do some work on the series before).

Bioware is dead, get used with the idea. Think that what it's left is the brand and nothing else. The talent migrated in those last couple of years. Anything good released under EA was already in works. What wasn't already in development at the time when EA took over, we know how they turned out to be.

I don't think anything in particular. You are the one who is already making up your mind about what they will do:

New developer surely gets dictated into creating a similar experience to ME3 anyways.

And that's what they say. I believe my own eyes when i see something over some lies told by some developer to generate hype. I'm sure they will try to change some things here and there, but i seriously doubt it will be anything big. Why would EA risk ruining a cashcow?

That's a good suggestion. Or it can be something entirely different..

With the change of developer, engine, the Shepard story arc finished, and the reception of ME3's ending, you can be almost certain this one will shake things up/move away from the ME trilogy timeline. For better or worse? Nobody knows.
For one, I am thinking this will be built with co-op in mind.

Aaaaaaaaand that's an effective way of completely killing my interest in it.
IF it happens, that is.

I image that the ME and DA series will both converge into 2 variants of the same game, one fantasy, the other Scifi.
The gameplay will become increasingly similar as well as the overall style, this is the future of Bioware rpg´s.

Regarding prequels...
Bioware totally f**ked up Mass Effect world, after Reaper defeat, so I can't see any new story working well after the ME3 ending.
So... prequel is easy way out...

They stated that after ME3 there will be no sequel to story, so that leads only to prequel (Fuck that honestly ?!), or to alternative (or different), storyline, i would like so see a different gallaxy or too fucking far away in future sequel, as im a sucker for sequels and i FUCKING HATE CALLING IT MASS EFECT 4 AND ITS JUST A FUCKING PREQUEL !
I would not like another game from the same period of time which Original Mass Effect series took place. Or atleast not the same gallaxy.
(Maybe campain on how Protheans got eliminated ? (From begining to end.(not that BS we got in ME3))

We'll see, after the action route taken by ME2 and 3 (which I didn't like at all) my expectations here are less than zero.
Could be a decent third person shooter if they ditch the cover system completely or at least introduce something more dynamic a-la Max Payne 3..but I don't see this happening.

You could always set the story X hundreds years after ME3. Whatever happened in the end of ME3 will then be reduced to nothing but a basic premise, and you can go whatever direction you want with the story. It's the same idea of KoToR really. So I don't see why people think it has to be a "prequel". EA only cares about ME as an IP, not the story, I don't see why they won't do that.

i am thinking that something like borderlands would be perfect, endless amounts of weapons and a good amounts of stats to make things more strategic, but still action-ney enough to interest the "wider audience"

I'd like to see a game that follows Garus' story since he was young and in the Turian military, then onwards during the time when Shepard was MIA between ME1 and 2. There is a lot of potential stuff they can do.
