BioWare assures us that Mass Effect 4 will be awesometacular, with almost everything being new!
We’re talking storyline, protagonist, combat abilities, galaxies and races. The company tells us that the Mass Effect universe and its unique nature will stay the same.
The fans can’t wait for the game to come out, and so they got busy on a Reddit thread. They had loads of amazing new ideas, but of course there are some elements from the firth three episodes that deserve to stay in.
In terms of plot, the fans hope that BioWare lends Mass Effect 4 an element of mystery, like the first Mass Effect. It was finding out about the plot that gave fans the brilliant cinematic experience they had.
Mass Effect 2 saw players having more missions, missions added that focussed on Shepard. This should be included in Mass Effect 4, as it personalised the second episode.
Interactivity is next. Mass Effect 3 was popular because it was interactive. Mass Effect 4 is going to run on the Frostbite engine, which will allow BioWare to make it as interactive as you’d like. When the universe reacts to a player’s actions, decisions and dialogue, you can’t help but resist it.
This is what the fans want, then, so we have to hope that BioWare is feeling indulgent. Chances are that BioWare was on the case before the fans even spoke up!
