Bioware announce they're scrapping Anthem for a ground-up remake of the Mass Effect trilogy. The world rejoices.

No more remakes, a brand new Mass Effect surely would be better? Too many remakes around, they don't sell that well at all.

A new Dragon Age would be perfect.

For me I'm hoping Shadows Die Twice is revealed as a Bloodborne 2 or a multiplatform similar universe a la Demons Souls.
Bethesda's Starfield would also be nice

I'd love BB2, or a spin off game that's multiplatform so everyone can enjoy it.

I'd rather see Bioware tackle something different. Mass Effect is just fantasy with a sci reskin and the same story they always tell stolen from riftwar/game of thrones. Get some fresh writing talent on board as their games look so by the numbers compared to what Obsidian and CD Projekt are doing.

I think we will just see more of Anthem. I'd say all of Bioware is wrapped up in that game. I can see that game releasing and flopping hard as the arse has fallen out of the Destiny loot'em up genre or else it's being reworked into something far different. I hope it's the later as if Anthem comes out and flops I can see Bioware getting gutted and closed down.

After what happened to both Mass Effect and Dragon Age that might not be bad thing. I had fun with Inquisition but I would rather replay Origins than go back into Inquisition. The same with Andromeda. I was hyped for that game but it is the only one out of both that I never replayed.

They turned excellent RPG games into bland adventure games. Boo I say.

Jerichoholic

Inquisition was fun until that war table thing came into play. Made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. No need for it at all.

I'd be very happy with either a new Dragon Age or Mass Effect. Some great games in there over the two series, and they have interesting worlds already built, with plenty to do with either of them.

My first prediction coming true?

I hope its an obsidian fallout and not an MMO

dreamers75

TES didnt do very well so hopefully an RPG.

Jerichoholic

I'd actually rather an Elder Scrolls logo. Just acknowledge that it's coming, I don't mind when.

Will this not be a Fallout 3 remaster? 10 years old this year!

It is possible, but the colouring of the broadcast announcement is not in line with the usual monochrome background that comes with every other Fallout announcement. The added colour suggests it is an off-shoot/spin-off of the main franchise, imo. Some sort of MMO in the Fallout universe or a New Vegas type spin-off.

Besides, this is drawing a lot of hype and attention and if you are only going to come out and say: "Its a remaster. 60 dollars, play the same content all over again", fans will be píssed. It has got to be something new. That's not to say a remaster isn't coming anyway. I just reckon it would be a smaller announcement, perhaps a throwaway small reveal at the E3 conference itself.

This i actually would like to see, I've always wanted someone to do a good MMO with guns and the likes, Was always hoping Blizzard would do a Starcraft MMO

Bethesda live on Twitch now although not much happening
https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda

73,000 viewers live. The hype is real

I'd say FO 4 on the switch is the front runner. ****ty move to make people watch a live stream of nothing for a switch port though.

So Fallout: Battle Royale then?

I'm still sure its Fallout 4 Remastered or somesuch......been like....5 minutes since Bethesda last did a Skyrim re-release so gotta get a rehash out soon!

Retr0gamer

I'd rather they announced that they are striking fallout 4 from Canon and never releasing it again.

Loving the look of this game:

Very Battlefield 4-ish

BF3 too. Yeah, it looks good. But what will it do different to those games ? Has to bring something new to the table ?

Without knowing anything, I'm gonna throw a prediction out there.

This will be F2P or paid early access, guessing because it's STEAM only atm. It will be cheap upon release and I imagine the game will end up being pay2win.

I hope I'm wrong as it looks cool. But games in recent years have caused me to be a cynic.

It'll never happen. The CPUs in the ps4 and xbox one can barely handle fallout 4 as it is, it'd never work on the switch unless they rebuilt huge sections of the game.....or else people were OK with drops to single digit frames.

They did a decent job with doom, but even that's nowhere near as demanding as fallout is. Heavy on graphics, light on processing power. Fallout is the exact opposite which is why it runs badly on consoles, even updated for the one x and ps4 pro.

An updated fallout 3 or new Vegas would be perfect for the switch though.

A watch on the Bethesda stream (https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda) has been set to 9.45 am/pm. So, we might get something in 20 minutes if it is meant to be AM.
