  • Back when the 2020 teaser trailer was released, concept artist Marco Iozzi posted some pieces he worked on for the trailer and in this video I explore what they could mean and how they tie into dying stars, dark energy, the geth, the quarians and the scourge.

    Combining Dark Energy and the Scourge into 1 story would be a smart play for Bioware.

      I rather prefer that Mass Effect 4 was about a post apocalyptic galaxy, with factions fighting for territories and resources, rather than some bs from Andromeda.
      Andromeda should be ignored as what it actually is A SPIN OFF.

      @@efxnews4776 correction mass effect 5 not 4. Trying to memory hole average mass effect wont make it go away and waht if mass effect 5 ends up the same way this is why getting hyped is dumb idea. Plus it wasnt that bad sure it has flaws like main enemy, second it took place in a cluster and main story was average. And og trilogy was to limited but some what better but not great.

      Let it die out Mass Effect doesn't need Anything from Andromeda... and by the way if folks love so much Andromeda, why not ask to Bioware give sequel to it instead of insert trash into the main franchise? Make Mass Effect 4 (FOUR) and make ME: A2 i do not oppose a sequel of Andromeda at all buddy, my main problem was ALWAYS the fact that Andromeda was so far appart from the OG franchise that it feels like a completely different IP.
      But i don't have a problem with the game itself you know? I just don't think it really is Mass Effect material.

    Wow! This one was really awesome. The thought of the Reapers trying to create a species that could utilize the dark energy without destroying the universe (if I understand one of the possibilities that was presented here) reminds me a lot of the Jardaan and how they create new species.
    I also find it interesting about how one of their last creations as far as we know are the Angara, who have their own ability outside biotics, but somewhat related as if I remember right the Angara use electrical current and biotics requires the use of electrical current to help active their abilities.
    I also wonder that if the Scourge is the remnants of the mass weapon fired, if that weapon somehow used dark energy, hence why the Scourge has detrimental electrical currents as part of however its set up.
    Anyway, can't wait to see how ME5 ends up being!

    If my suspicions are correct, the dying stars and dark energy build up hinted by Haestrom's sun in Mass Effect 2 will play a big role in the next Mass Effect game, making up for being excluded in the Mass Effect Trilogy.

    Sometimes concept art is just that; concept art. It's used to provoke excitement/speculation and may, or may not, have anything to do with the final product. I only hope Mary is given as much context as possible from the original creators so she can logically tie in all the storylines and set us up for new ones. Thank you, once again, for another thought-provoking video, Kala! Be well.

    Could be the star that Tali was investigating? One interesting thought
    Each Reaper was born after a harvest. Each plant has several individual Reaper. So that could mean that each culture could find different powers. It might be one of the cultures why trying to learn a power before they were ready to control it.

    When I first watched the teaser trailer, I truly believed we were diving into the Andromeda galaxy, due to the one in the background looking much smaller, perspective and all.
    If you Google pictures of the Andromeda galaxy, you notice Andromeda is much more elliptical - the one in the background clearly is the milky way.
    But then we see all the wreckage, etc, - but I belive the Devs are trying to throw us off course.

    You know I just realised that Mass Effect didn't go into one scifi trope in particular and that is time travel. If there was time travel involved and done well it could be used to both answer which ending is canon(all endings are canon because each is a separate timeline) and link us to the Andromeda galaxy in the future because the new mass relay is basically a time rift/tunnel allowing for time travel. It would allow Shepard to return via parallel timeline counterparts and have both MaleShep and FemShep at the same time. But time travel would not be without consequence and stuff like the Skourge and possibly even timelines start merging together(imagine we have both cured krogan where Wrex is alive and the krogan where Shepard sabotaged the cure and had to kill Wrex and they want Shephard dead) start happening. Of course that would mean a powerful bad guy capable of time travel and who knows exactly who they're fighting and can anticipate our every move and we have to stop him before he destroys the universe with his actions. And this theory could just be wishfull thinking because I want both versions of Shepard to team up and be badasses together.

  • @Knight1029
    @Knight1029 Год назад +2

    The dark energy plot is cool but it would not have worked as an ending choice or a motivation for the Reapers. As an ending choice you are basically giving the player the choice to let the universe die or let the Reapers find a solution. For there is no way that the Milky Way can find a solution to the dark energy issue where the Reapers have failed. It is explicitly stated that the Reapers are beyond intelligent. With that in mind it makes no sense on a cosmic scale to kill them. As a motivation it works only if you ignore what what Sovereign said about their motivation being beyond organic understanding.

    Great analysis, as always. IMO, it is probably the best way to combine trilogy with MEA without canonizing any final ME3 choice.
    Just a small note: Putting such emotional music over Drew words made me unable to perceive what he is saying 🥲 I needed to lower volume and turn on subtitles. 🥲
