Okay well now my dream game is a CDPR made mass effect. The odds are probably .01% but that won't stop me from hoping.

It’s set to release the week after HL3

I don't think it's entirely unrealistic for that to happen really. CDPR has been expanding a lot since Cyberpunk released. And because they thrive on narrative RPGs, if EA decides to sell the mass effect IP(they just nuked BioWare, so they clearly have no plans to do anything with it themselves) I wouldn't be surprised if they're the ones who pick it up.

Sadly we have seen in before that EA prefers close studios, keep the rights of the IPs and do nothing with them, like C&C and Americans Mcgee's Alice

to be fair its fully possible no one is willing to pay whateer c&c is worth

There's the rub. If no one's willing to pay their ask, it's not worth what they think it is.

Eh, pretty hard to imagine CDPR being willing to spend money just to obtain IP rights instead of just developing their own setting.

Especially given that the IPs primary conflict has been solved (in a fairly controversial way) and the narrative is pretty tricky to continue.

Well if we all spread the word maybe CDPR can buy Mass Effect, and also Larian can buy Dragon Age.

Disney can re-release KOTOR, and the rest of the games picked up by other studios too.

What we push for will make it happen even more

Disney is just as bad as EA

That would be really cool ngl but I think CDPR is too bogged down with their own production pipeline. Witcher IV, Witcher 1 remake, 2077 sequel and a new IP. But never say never I would love for them to take a Crack at it.

The odds actually aren’t that low. Studios ears should perk up when they hear this news. Gamers everywhere will be sad and alot of developers now grew up on mass effect so I think there’s plenty of studios that are still passionate about storytelling that would feel like it’s their duty to give it the mass effect universe the legs it should have. I’m pretty optimistic

What about Larian's take on Mass Effect?

•

u/singlemale4cats 3h ago

It would be hard to replicate the vibe of the first three, which is one of the reasons I like them so much.

•

It’s way less than that lol

Hope is the one thing they can never take away from you, so long as you refuse to let go of it.

•

u/Buburubu 1h ago

ooh, that’d be a good one. i’d also accept Larian or Firaxis.

Tbh I don’t think I would trust CDPR to do it well. Cyberpunk is great and all but they have never made that kind of straightforward narrative third person shooter game. They make open world games, and that’s not Mass Effect. They also have never implemented a conversation system with serious effects on in-game outcomes the way Paragon/Renegade was done before. Cyberpunk in particular had very few decisions which had any effect on the game other than what was effectively flavor text.
