I'm not sure that I'm understanding what's going on here. A new "galaxy" to discover? Ummmmm...we explored shitloads of galaxies in the original trilogy.
No. The original trilogy took place in the milky way galaxy. Andromeda is our neighboring galaxy. Might want to google what a galaxy is.

Im just so glad its not a shitty attempt at an MMORPG.
who says it isn't? A new galaxy might mean a new system.
Also, if it is a single player game again, is this a prequel? My Shepard died at the end of 3 so he isn't alive to play this game : (

Psss. It doesn't have to be a sequel to have a new protagonist. Keep it on the down low.

I'm saying that if it is Shepard, mine is dead. What would I do in this situation, start a new Shepard like a fricking savage who hasn't played the other games? This is bullshite that they made my Shepard die in the last one.

How did they travel when all of the mass relays exploded?

Yeahhhh so I did. Astronomy -- not really on my radar -- not really something I pay attention to. It happens
I guess I supposed systems equated to galaxies. Oops. So if this is the "old galaxy" 
We now have a new one. But the question is, how do you reconcile the ending of ME3? Must be an alternate timeline, I guess? Or you bend laws of time and space? Or just a different chronological period? But it seemed like you had definite humans, and again, definite suggestions of Reapers. Regardless, I'm excited to see it.

They got rebuilt post asplosion in the extended control ending.
I don't think they blew up at all in synthesis ending.
I don't remember if they got rebuilt in the extended destroy ending or not.

Just watched them all.
Red ending they blew up and Admiral Hackett heavily implies they will be rebuilt. I guess with all the dead Reapers lying around and the fact that the Relays weren't totally destroyed (just the spinning rings inside blow up in the endings) means we had enough technology to figure it out. Didn't the protheans build a relay that we found at the end of Mass Effect 1?
Blue ending the Shepard controlled Reapers helped rebuild them.
Green ending the synthetic Reapers helped rebuild them.
edit: there is also apparently a 4th ending I didn't know about. I now dub it the "scruffy" ending. Basically you tell the god child to frick himself because the 3 choices he offers are garbage so you make a 4th choice to do nothing. The reapers win and it ends with a recording Liara left about the most recent fight against the Reapers (like the old Prothean beacons).

My best guess is that they are going to have to say one of the endings is canon and then go from there with regards to explaining the presence (or lack of) Reapers in Andromeda.

They probably left before that, probably after the events on Thessia. Plus dat Reaper tech.
Any word on if this will be a standalone game?

Easy. Mass effect 3 didn't happen.
Posted on 6/16/15 at 7:34 am to TH03
Shepards story ended with three, this will be a new character and new galaxy.
Posted on 6/16/15 at 7:41 am to sbr2
Either this game happens during the same time period or the events of the first three don't affect this game at all because it's set in a different galaxy

It's gonna be this (or something like it).
My money is on a exploration ship being sent through an uncharted relay that heads to points unknown (like the Omega Relay at the start of 2), and it ends up sending you to Andromeda. This will probably happen sometime before the end of the original trilogy so BW can avoid having to incorporate, or even address, the endings.
ETA: Since we will be in an entirely new galaxy, I'd bet something will happen to prevent our ability to use the relay to get back, so we will be cut off from the Milky Way. That way, nothing that happened at the end of 3 can impact events in this game.

Secret relay.
When the reaper attack started, we sent people out to the furthest relay and their orders were to destroy the relay on the other side to stop reapers from getting there.
Thus they would be unaffected by reaper death, control or synthesis.
Actually, they found one of these...

Wait a minute...did you just not know the difference between a galaxy and the universe?

This trailer didn't do much to excite me -- primarily because so little footage was shown. I want to learn more about the plot and gameplay mechanics.
