Okay... this?
This is exactly the direction I was hoping they'd take a new Mass Effect game. Not necessarily a new galaxy to be sure (it will be interesting to see how that goes down), but just in terms of moving on and away from Shepard's story? That's a major positive IMO. I've seen a few comments already being really negative and moaning saying they hope the character in this trailer is Shepard. I couldn't hope any more that it isn't and I'm so pleased it's already been announced that Shepard's story is done.
And it is done. The last thing the ME franchise needed was any more trampling over the memories and story of Commander Shepard. That whole thing is over. Time to start with a clean slate, and by the looks of this trailer, I couldn't be more happy they've done so (by the looks of it at least).
If I had to guess, I'd say this exploration of a new galaxy is probably brought on by another Reaper threat? Either way, I actually quite like the idea. It will definitely be cool to see what they come up with. I just hope that with this new galaxy they actually replicate the same kind of diversity we saw in the Milky Way, with some interesting aliens.
Oh and Johnny Cash in the trailer? Nice. Those little doses of humanity are great for Sci-fi. A lot of things like this always seem to forget about shit like that, and just go "super future hurr durr" never mentioning any art, literature or history from humans. Hopefully it's a sign of some other cool references and content.
All in all, I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic with this one. Anyone else?
