DISCUSSION Any Devs who could take over?

Post image

So the news is a huge kick in the balls. Is that truly it then or would there be any chance EA could sell the IP? Honestly coudnt see it going to CD Project or Bethesda. Dk if there's anyone else who could take over ot will EA just let the franchise rot out of spite?

I wouldn't trust Larian with ME5, not because they're a bad developer, but like with Bioware and anthem, the gameplay that comes with ME doesn't jive with the type of games they make.

Not unless we all become really cool with a heavily turn based RPG probably with cover shooter mechanics, it's not going to be taken well. It would inevitably create a rift in the community.

I COULD trust CDPR with it, but it still wouldn't be nearly as good I think as what old Bioware could've done. It's also likely to be another open world game, and their initial release of cyberpunk kind of stains my initial trust. Maybe they learned their lesson, maybe not.

Obsidian is another maybe, but that also comes with its own set of negatives.

Wild card, if Capcom somehow snatched it up, I think there's potential there, with the unfortunate caviat of a TON of micro transactions

I think Mass Effect could benefit from a CRPG game

I'd be fine with it. I doubt a large part of the community would be though

There were a lot of successful crpgs lately and the production cost is much smaller thab a 3rd person action rpg

Ugh, no thanks. Mass Effect is not turn based.

Turn based does require brains and more attention span than a snail so to each his own
