Unfortunately, a lot about Mass Effect: Andromeda, the fourth entry in Bioware's RPG saga, is still unknown.

ASidCast: "Now while I won't be touching all of the points in the video, I would like to point out a few things that seemed a bit off to me. While most of said things stated in the video seem plausible, one of the points that grabs my attention the most is the fact that the "anonymous source" states that Valve is afraid of working on Half Life 3 because of the backlash that Mass Effect 3 received when it launched. Now this rumour in particular is very hard to believe considering that Valve probably knows first hand how the internet works, that's why they are where they are right now. They also knew, according to Bethesda and Valve themselves, that they were going to receive backlash for the Steam Paid Mods that was launched earlier this year and promptly taken down soon after. My point is, Valve knew that the backlash was coming because of Paid Mods and yet they went ahead with it which kind of makes the entire point of "Valve being scared of releasing Half Life 3 because of Mass Ef...

Instead, to truly understand why Mass Effect is so important, we need to look at what was added to not only the gaming world, but the world at large. No game, save for maybe Call of Duty or Guitar Hero, was able to influence more than just how video games are made. And unlike Call of Duty or Guitar Hero, which have either burned out completely or are confined only into influencing video games, Mass Effect has crossed over into the mainstream, becoming, in essence, the Star Wars of our time.

GameZone: "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has replaced Mass Effect 3 in the running for backwards compatibility on the Xbox One. As this is a vote to see which games Microsoft should push towards being available on the Xbox One through the new backwards compatibility feature, your vote matters."

Fallout 4

Few RPG franchises have as loyal a fan base as Fallout. We already knew that the game will be set in Boston and will feature a rather fearless German shepherd along with his vault-dweller human. But at a June 14 press conference, creator Bethesda also revealed a megaton (see what we did there?) of new images, features and abilities. Even better: A real release date, for November 2015.

Dishonored 2

trigue! More backstabbing! More sneaking around! And now there's a new character to play: Emily Kaldwin, the rightful scion in the original game. The first game raked in plenty of awards and accolades, so the sequel should get a lot of attention. (Photo by: Bethesda)

Halo 5: Guardians

We're talking about a franchise that has raked in more than $3 billion in revenue, so, naturally, expectations are high for this release. The gameplay demo revealed at E3 looks righteous, and fans have been waiting a long time for this new installment. (Photo by: Microsoft)

Doom

The seminal first-person shooter is back! The original Doom series from the 1990s is credited not only with birthing a new gaming genre, but also racking up a serious following. (We're talking 10 million units sold.) Bethesda's resurrection looks as slick as it does utterly sick. (Photo by: Bethesda)

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Again, the existence of this game is no surprise. But it remains one of the most anticipated games out there, and the new footage shown at the E3 showed a scope and attention to detail previously unseen in the franchise. (Photo by: Microsoft)

Gears of War 4

Long rumored and even longer awaited, the latest game in a $1 billion franchise finally got some official love at E3 this year. The footage shown was dark (way too dark) but what we did manage to see looked pretty darned promising. (Photo by: Microsoft)

Dark Souls III

It's official: Dark Souls fans will get to die, die, and die some more (presumably in fresh ways) via a third installment of this vicious action franchise. And expect it to be huge; the first two installments have sold into the millions of units. (Photo by: Bandai Namco/Microsoft)

Star Wars Battlefront

Star Wars fans have been waiting for years for a brand-new cooperative online shooter to call their own, and Electronic Arts made that dream officially come true at E3 this year. Recruit a scrappy team of fighters, and enjoy classic Star Wars mainstays like the AT-AT here. (Photo by: Electronic Arts)

Mass Effect: Andromeda

The story of Commander Shepard may be over, but that isn't stopping Electronic Arts from rolling out a brand-new story set in the wildly popular Mass Effect universe. Bring on the reapers! (Photo by: Bioware)

Assassin's Creed Syndicate

A stealth action-adventure franchise with more than 70 million copies sold has to be doing something right. Syndicate is expected to fire on all cylinders, thanks in part to a new assassin protagonist and a refined combat system. (Photo by: Ubisoft)

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands

This military-ops franchise has been around for more than a decade, so, naturally, it has a huge fan base. Now the series finally gets its Skyrim-ification, with a new, open world.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

It's the adventure-action series that has moved more than 21 million copies worldwide, and now comes the fourth installment, which brings our hero back from retirement. Its lush graphics–one of the hallmarks of the series–look to be more gorgeous and colorful than ever. (Photo by: Naughty Dog)

The Last Guardian

Movies aren't the only projects to suffer through development hell. Just ask gamers who have six years for this highly anticipated puzzle solver. Maybe it just takes that look to put feathers on a giant chihuahua.

Final Fantasy VII remake

Yes, it's a remake. But given the reaction from fans when Sony announced said remake at E3, this is one huge deal for Final Fantasy fans. The original 1997 title has sold more than 9 million copies and spawned a straight-to-DVD feature film.

No Man's Sky

Perhaps the most ambitious game announced at E3, this title introduces a world so open, so huge, that even the designers didn't know exactly where they were going when they shared some of the gameplay at the con. This is one highly anticipated debut. (Photo by: Hello Games)

The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes

Any new Zelda title is big news for Nintendo fans. The upcoming 3DS encourages friends to cooperate to solve puzzles and collect items to make cool wardrobes. (Photo by: Nintendo)

Super Mario Maker

Nintendo fans already knew this title was coming, and they already knew that the game (finally!) allows players to get in on the level-building action. But at E3, it finally got a release date: September 11, 2015.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

A cyberpunk franchise with more than 4.5 million units sold is getting a new title. Again, fans knew it was coming, but a Deus Ex announcement is always an event, and the new weapons teased at E3 look to add even more options to the gameplay.
