Mass Effect is Babylon 5 combined with Farscape and Battlestar Galactica. Three whole TV shows you can watch without having to wait for this trash
>we want the non-gamer audience for this game IP
Ah yes, targeting the mythical “modern audiences”. I’m sure it will work this time!
>>219325903>one of the most disappointing endings to any trilogy>literally a meme how bad it was>”let’s set it directly afterwards”How does Hollywood keep doing this
>more appealing to non-gamersAre we talking normie dudes or women. If it's the latter that's definitely bad news.
>>219325903Won't work anyway. Mass Effect's pull was mainly the "YOUR CHOICES MATTER" tagline. Players most definitely don't want to watch anything that has to "canonize" one specific world state that will no doubt differ from theirs in some key aspect.And non-players won't have any interest in it in the first place.
>>219325903it's halo all over again
>>219326036How would you even end the story if you were making it into a series ?
>>219326238the red ending where he takes a breath after the credits and goes back to banging space racists and tentacle heads
>>219326238Id just throw out the endings and go with the dark matter theory that obviously was the intended direction before the writing got raped to death in focus group normalfags who “didn’t understand it” and “liked the robots”
>>219326171Not exactly the same thing but they could actually kill off major characters to show that stuff Shepard did actually made a difference instead of keeping everyone around forever till the end of the series
>>219326466>kill off major charactersSo, basically fail the suicide mission in ME2?
>>219325903>hey guys that thing was successful among its audience, let's go against that hehewhy lmao, it has to be some rothchild contractual thing to do this everytime, there's no other reason.also the success of fallout (even though that shit on lore or whatever) why the fuck would they keep doing the OP shit
>>219325903>"We'll take this known IP but rewrite it and put our own spin on it instead of being faithful!">Show cancelledHow many times do we have to do this dance?
>>219325903Who would play best girl, Tali?
Shepard
Around a month ago I typed it all out but they should’ve made it about Anderson.>S1: humanity’s contact war with the turians as a war series>S2: humanity’s entrance into the Council as a political drama plus Biotic rights terrorists as the action plot>S3: Anderson’s trials to become a spectre ending with him being sabotaged by Saren>S4: Anderson has been down and out but gets approached for the Normandy as a joint project between the Turians and HumanityIt would be kino if the last season ended with Hackett and Udina inviting Anderson into a meeting where they’re discussing who to put as humanity’s second attempt as a Spectre, before Udina ponders for a moment, looks into the camera, and says:>What about Shepard?from the very beginning of Mass Effect 1, and right after cut to black for a moment before the credits to show the reflection of the viewer, like how Shepard was looking out of the window at the very beginning of ME1.I feel like even with all these characters it wouldn’t be hard for new viewers to pick up on who they are or what they’re like and longtime fans would appreciate to see the beginnings of these characters proving themselves in things like the Contact War.
>>219325903??so its not for gamers, but an audience that has no clue what "Mass Effect" is, but the show will start after ME3, meaning in the middle/end of the Lore?? what?this is another money laundering operation
>>219326579I wouldn’t necessarily follow the games exactly but yeah Characters leave or die off in random episodes New ones come inHave a definite ending in mind from the beginning Shows don’t want to kill off characters because fans might like them but if it’s a limited run series anyways it shouldn’t really matter Sometimes shows get a lot worse because they are afraid to kill off characters but end up with nothing left for them to really do (Ex: Heroes , The Boys probably some other shit)
>>219327195Does it matter? You don't get to see her anyway.Also, Tali is a walking exposition in ME1, a lovesick teenager with daddy-issues in ME2 and just there in ME3 (unless you get her people killed, I guess). Plus that completely forces romance she gets with Garrus - really?Liara, Miranda, Jack and maybe even Samara and Kasumi have more too offer than her.
>>219327479ME tv show will go full stallone and have her remove the helmet in episode 1. Also pls don't insult my alien-fu
>>219327716>have her remove the helmet in episode 1.So she'll be dead by episode 2?>insultNot meant as an insult. I just don't see how she's more interesting than the characters I listed. I get why her romance appeals to many people. I just don't see the character's appeal as a character overall.
>>219325903Wasn't the halo show script originally supposed to be mass effect?
Never 4get
>>219327195Cailee Spaeny
>>219327982The ending slide was a stock photo too. I’m happy that hack Hudson’s studio closed down. >Ex-BioWare Dev Casey Hudson's Studio Humanoid Origin Closes Down
>>219328141Good, that man deserves nothing
>>219327195Bella Ramsey.
They're probably sweating over whether to go Sheploo or Femshep. The fans were pretty split on which they liked more
>>21932826282% played as male Shepard.
>>219328209Ugh. Keep the helmet on permanently
>>219328534But the Femshep elitists are more vocal. I honestly can't stand Jennifer Hale's voice
>>219326110Women are half the audience that Amazon is trying to cater to. What Amazon doesn't get is that women will watch any old shit with their man as long as they get to natter in his ear and get a big strong arm over their shoulder while he says "I'm trying to watch this"
>>219328262>The fans were pretty splitNo. The Mass Effect subr*ddit is split 60/40.General audiences was 80/20, as >>219328534 said. Probably because the player base is majority male.Hardcore fans (and hardcore RPG players) usually do multiple playthroughs and have multiple Shepards of both genders - but still consider one their favourite or their "canon". I'd assume most there skew male as well.Besides, male (hetero) Shepard's romances all range from good to great (imo: Jack > Liara > Miranda > Tali > Ashley). Female (hetero) Shepard's romances range from decent to utterly terrible (Garrus > Thane > Kaidan > James), with James literally leaving her in ME3 for someone he accidently impregnated. Oh, and Thane does die in ME3 no matter what.Lesbian female Shepard gets two pretty good options with Liara and Traynor though, but other than that, you're really better off just playing male Shepard (not gay, because then your only options are Kaidan, who should long be dead at that point anyway, and a grieving widower).
>>219328775>I honestly can't stand Jennifer Hale's voiceJennifer Hale puts a lot of emphasis on everything. Literally everything. That works kinda well if you go full paragon or full renegade. But if you roleplay and pick differently-coloured choices every now and then, she comes across as bipolar. Which makes for a ridiculous experience.Mark Meer gets a lot of flack for being unemotive, but his generally more neutral tone means that you can go paragon or renegade and still get a consistent personality for your Shepard.
>>219325903If they pick Femshep this is going to be Rangs of Power all over again. Literally just wasting hundreds of millions.Can't wait
>>219325903This will obviously suck, I can guarantee the version before the rewrite sucked even more. Most likely very woke and as much as I love ME it was proto woke especially with the gay romances so I'm guessing they will go down that route. If I was making it I would just do a direct adaptation of ME1 and then do a complete rewrite of ME2 and 3 and maybe do more seasons, use rge original storyline with the characters from 2 and 3 coming back. But this would take talent and a vision which Hollywood lacks and it would take a person that understands mass effect or at least played it and saw its failures to know how to fix it>>219328534Fem shep shills are a vocal minority. Male shep is iconic and his neutral voice acting fits the characters role and origins, he is a blank slate for the player . Also has the better romances.
>>219329301Fem shep with a will they won't they Liara romance where she fucks and sucks every krogan cock in the galaxy. Galactic boss girl turbo whore.
>>219328534femshep troons are so funny.
How the fuck have they learned nothing from the Halo series
>>219325903>make known IP more appealing to casuals/non-fansWhy are we still doing this shit? Have they learned nothing from the past 10-20 years?
>>219325903>Mass Effect TV show ordered to rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers"Hahaha. You old cunt. That makes no sense!
>>219329588Of course not. Hollywood is full of idiots in their own bubble who have no idea what their customers actually want.
>>219329835not only is it full of idiots, but theyre getting increasingly dumber, desperate, and out of touch.
>>219329431>proto woke especially with the gay romancesThe original ME didn't have gay romances at all. A lesbian romance if you count Liara (her specias doesn't techincally have genders, but a female phenotype by other species' standards).ME2 has neither gay nor lesiban romances. ME3 adds up to two gay romances (if Kaidan is alive) but they both suck (pun not intended) and one lesbian romance that.The vast majority of romances across all games are straight.Now, Dragon Age, that was the one where two thirds of the characters are bi (and, hey, at least it makes playing female characters more enjoyable).
>>219325903>surely it will work this timeI wish I had so much money I could piss it away like these retards do
>>219326036"Lost" ?
>>219329588They know exactly what they’re doing. They hate video games and more importantly they hate you.
>>219329964Liara looks like a woman so it's a gay romance (lesbian) even though she technically isn't. It's 2000s woke but edgy since you're liking lesbains to pwn the Bush voting evangelical chuds. 3 was very in your face with "hi I'm gay, nice to meet you" new characters.
>>219328262It’s simpleJust have it start off as male Shepard and after he gets blown up they rebuild his body as femshep in the next season.
>>219326171They need to spend a couple hundred million dollars to make the next "interactive" tv show of pick your own adventure
>>219325903Mass effect was already for Normies
>>219327195It's gonna be either Zendaya or Brie Larson, calling it now.
>>219325903FemShep
>>219330605Brie is on a redemption arc right now. She's done with ragebait
>>219330364>"hi I'm gay, nice to meet you" new charactersTell that to the two dozen let's players I've seen that thought Traynor was a romance option for their male Shepard until she shut down their flirting. Oh, and Kaidan wasn't new, and for most people not in ME3 at all, but him suddenly turning gay for you came completely out of left field.
>>219330444>switching from Sheploo to Femshep after the Normandy gets destroyed and he "dies">wakes up trans as rebuilt Femshep Some Hollywood executive out there thinks this is genius
>>219325903Hollywood has a rule which they don't hire fans of the works they adapt
>>219330660Obviously it's not literally the first scene but the two new additions exist only for gay romance, the scene you describe is set up in a way to make your male shep try to romance and get rejected.
>>219330725The only time it ever worked hiring someone who didn't like the source material was Chris Avellone for KotOR 2. He's been open about not liking Star Wars but managed to still write a story that didn't really piss anyone off and people actually liked it. Unlike Rian Johnson who also said he didn't like Star Wars.
>Make moore appealing to non-gamers>Set it after the 3rd game
>>219330871chris is a great writer. and honestly i think of the last jedi ended with kylo and rey teaming up, the movie would have actually been received much better and a hook for an interesting conclusion to the trilogy
>>219328929I dont get the garrus obsession, everything about thane is a lot more interesting. Id say hes more interesting than all of the female companions too. Save kasumi who you cant even romanance. >>219325903If they make their own thing and just make it a more violent star trek then it could work. If theyre going for a main female, she needs at least two secondary main males to support and carry the show.
>>219325903So in other words, canceled after 2 obligatory seasons?
I'M ONLY HUMAN
>>219330871i almost wanted to refute this but I got Chris Avellone mixed up with Michael Kirkbride, who wrote some pretty goddamn weird SW shit and kept injecting stupid sci-fi shit into TES like space dunmer and timeline-hopping giant robots
>"Oh hello there, Wrex.">"Greetings and salutations, Shepard."
>>219330871>Unlike Rian JohnsonTLJ is literally the only Star Wars that manages to be a genuinely good film, anon.
is this the studio the based saudis are unpozzing?
>>219331069>they release a 5 minute long YouTube video or just "Wrex" "Shepard" to promote their ass showSee you in 2028 for that trailer anons
>>219331138It hints at good things. Like why the galaxy is always at war because of a war economy selling tie fighters and X-Wings to both sides. Interesting, but it went fucking no where.
>>219331138The only decent one was rogue one. I actually kind of liked the han solo movie, I thought it was fun
>>219331138Lmfao
>>219330927>I dont get the garrus obsession, everything about thane is a lot more interesting.Thane dies. And is still kinda hung up on his long dead wife. You don't romance a man close to certain death unless you're actively looking for misery. But, yes, I'd also consider him a more interesting character than Garrus.But Garrus is the only (non-Kaidan) character a hetero femShep can have a full conclusive and happy-ending romance with.
They won’t include this.
anyone remember 2010 /v/ where it was nothing but ME2 threads and the board got renamed after tali?
>>219331412I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions
>>219331278A misery romance is a better story device than generic army man painted alien
>>219331412Well, considering that it's a pretty bad idea (not only because of missing out on war assets in ME3, but also because punching a reporter on-camera is extremely bad publicity that will turn public sentiment against you), no, they better not include this.
>>219331595If you didn't punch her in all three games you were playing it wrong
>>219331595> public sentiment Lmao no it wouldn't. The joker was loved specifically because they did this. You mean critics would get mad
Mass effect was already like a tv show
>>219331699ME2 especially felt very episodic
>>219325903>rewrite scripts and make them "more appealing to non-gamers"It's all so tiresome.
>>219331827>so we have this IP with an established fanbase>let's make something they won't like and also normalfags won't like eitherLike clockwork.
>>219331556Maybe. But you have to be a very peculiar type of person to enjoy it more on an emotional level.That being said, all four female hetero romances come with massive caveats that render all of them subpar:Garrus is, as you said, very cookie-cutter. Both the character and the romance. He starts out as an asshole dirty-cop cliché in ME, but can completely change his personality by the end depending on what you do or do not let him do and how you talk to him (I never liked that aspect, you can do something similar to romanced Ashley and Kaiden as well, but "softening" Ashley is less noticably, and turning Kaidan into a literal hateful racist is fun). Then in ME2 he does rogue with his personal army anyway. There's nothing even hinting at romantic interest in ME, and suddenly heavy flirting in ME2.Thane, as I said, dies. Misery porn, in a way.Kaidan is Kaidan. The most boring character of them all by a long shot. You also have to kill off a more interesting character to keep him around.And James ... yeah.
>>219331876Fallout did it
>>219325903gamers rise up
>>219331980Fallout 4 fans liked it, classic Fallout fans don't
>>219331595noo not the journalists
>>219332021I dont like fallout 4 and I think its ok. But its only ok when goggins is around
