We already know a good amount about Mass Effect's new-gen debut, largely because an enormous pool of information recently leaked. Prior to that, though, EA's sequel has been subject to some of the most frustrating teases of all time, with BioWare employees posting pictures of people in motion capture suits β and expecting us to get all excited.
This latest tweet by producer Michael Gamble really takes the biscuit, though. Overnight, he uploaded an image of a photograph from space, showing an arc β we've no idea what the technical term is β similar to the one employed in the sci-fi series' logo. This prompted all sorts of speculation, before he followed up ten hours later simply saying that he thinks that the "picture is fantastic".
Maybe, as consumers desperate for information on a forthcoming game, the fault's with us for taking Gamble's cryptic picture out of context. But, y'know what: he knew exactly how people would react when posting an astronomy image without explanation. Perhaps it's time that the people of BioWare stopped teasing, and started showing.

I'm pretty sure the new Mass Effect will be out late next year at the very earliest so as excited as I am to jump into the new universe I don't expect them to be showing much for a while. Maybe we'll see something awesome at E3, but there's no guarantee. And even then it won't make the game come out in faster.
I'm sure the new Mass Effect will show up at E3 this year. Until then, we can just ignore all this stuff.
I really hope they remaster the trilogy first and your choices some how "effect" the next game.
I think its more for the developers entertainment at this point.
@Splat I've been on board this idea for a while. So long as they update me1 combat mechanics.
"News "
It's called an orbital sunrise/sunset. I'm over ME until I see some gameplay though.
I've never played a ME game, but if the combat is anything like DA:I is, then I'm out. As wonderful as I think the characters/writing and world are, the combat just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Either make it full action or full tactical please.
@T7L3RB - The combat is more action then DA for sure. It's a 3rd person cover based shooter with some powers thrown in here and there.
@Splat That's sounds better for sure. At least on paper anyways. I'll have to go check out some YouTube videos of some gameplay from the other games.
P.S. The battle system in DA is the main reason I'm really looking forward to The Witcher, can't wait for some action based combat in a huge open world rpg.
@T7L3RB - If I had to rank the Mass Effect trilogy I would rank them 2,3 then 1. Now many people feel the first is the best and while I loved it's story and character interaction I felt it has the weakest gameplay.
If you enjoyed the characters and writing of DA I highly recommend giving the ME trilogy a shot.
If they remaster it for PS4 I will with out a doubt buy it again. Mass Effect 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
@Splat If a trilogy is released for PS4 I'll check it out. I just looked at some gameplay and can agree that the combat looks much better than DA's.
@Splat God yeah I'd love that!
Being a PS fan boy I never got to play no1 but 2 and 3 were two of my all time fav games, I'd love a PS4 remastered version to go through!!!
