They will do this, it will flop, and they will blame the audience they shunned when all they had to do was appeal to them.
How the fuck are they supposed to make an adaptation that appeals to gamers when the whole point of the game is that everyone plays the story out differently?
>>219415049The only "mass effect" her is the mass effect caused by that tumor in your head causing your brain to atrophy.
>we can't just have 3 bottle episodes in a row of characters tooling around in the Mako on some desert planetproducers simply cannot see the vision
>>219415112I'm guessing this is not a 1:1 adaptation and is just a story set in that universe.
>>219415136Do you feel smarter after typing that out?
>>219415049They should rewrite all the lore where they explicitly talk about White extinction, for sure.
>>219415049It's destined to suck either way.
>>219415253Any video game adaptation sucks, so yeah, but modern TV writing is especially bad because of the politics shoehorning.
>>219415049the batarians are a little too close to a real life group, sorry
time for somerace and gender swaps
>>219415331>Any video game adaptation sucksBecause nobody takes videogames seriously, so executives just hire shit writers to awkwardly graft video game aesthetics and characters onto half-assed pre-existing scripts in a desperate attempt at name recognition and a quick payday.Look at Hitman - they've made, what? Two? Three shitty adaptations of that now? And they all feel like someone took a shitty C-list action script that was floating around the studio, and they just crossed out the main character's name and wrote in 'Agent 47'. They all do the same shit that tanks the movie's reception: Centering the stories around shitty Donut Steele OC characters, throwing in retarded shit that has nothing to do with the source material its adapting - kung fu sword fights, nanomachine body armor, assassin superpowers, etc. The Day of the Jackal series shows how easily you could make a series about an assassin travelling to exotic locations and finding clever ways of killing high profile targets into an engaging drama. But you'll never see something like that attempted with the Hitman franchise because nobody takes videogames seriously.
>>219415843>Because nobody takes videogames seriouslyBingo. They need to hire people who actually give a shit about the medium, but it seems like most directors are resentful of the source material.
>>219415049They'll make it about the quarians and how brave they are as a species. Joker gets elevated into a superhero because of his brittle bones disease and Cerberus will be turned into literal nazi's with Trump as their leader. Oh, and I guess there's this guy called Shepard and some reaper threat.
>>219415781kek
>>219415781
>>219415112just do a Rashomon
>>219415049The audience this could theoretically appeal to stopped between ME3's deeply flawed and stupid release and whatever the fuck Andromeda is. Tali could do a full nude striptease in it and no one would watchIt doesn't matter what they do because the mass effect fanbase is 70% ME2 sloppers none of whom even pretend to like or care about ME3 anymore, and 30% ME1 purists who tried ME2 and were let down and nostalgia keeps them from remembering all the cringe back in ME1's dialogue too.
>>219415112Mass Effect is still columnar gameplay, just a wide column
>>219415112>differentlyThere are vague story beats where you can have Shepard behave diplomatically or rudely and they all lead to the exact same ending. If you choose to wipe out the rachnii, the reapers build functionally identical rachnii. If you choose to nominate Anderson as ambassador, he hates it and basically quits even before the last game. You can choose not to save the krogran and it has no material effect on the RGB ending scheme. All the "choices" throughout Mass Effect amount to whether you want to feel like a generic hero or a naughty little bad boy who nonetheless saves the galaxy
>>219415974yeah, naw
>>219416061but that shit is exactly why people fucking reamed the third game - they didn't like that the major decisions they made had no difference on the larger story.
>>219415112Kill off major characters throughout the series so it makes it look like Shepard’s decisions have impact on the story UNLIKE a lot streaming series that keep characters around forever despite not having much for them to do (Ex: TheBoys)
>>219415331>>219415843*except Postal
Hopefully they go with femshep since male shepherd is super generic.
>>219416187trans
>>219416187kill yourself
>>219416115They didn't in ME2 either, it was just easier to hide with no final conclusion to the story
>>219416173Oh boy getting Virmired wasn't fun enough when playing, can't wait to watch it
>>219416234ME2 at least felt like there was an impact because of how poorly the last mission could go. The fact that anyone who dies on that mission just gets replaced with a palette-swapped clone in the third game was insulting.
>>219415112>everyone plays the story out differently?You know as well as I do that gamers have common tendencies.
>>219416475You like to dance close to the fire, don't you?
They won't show any Asari pussy so why bother
>>219415049Cast her
>>219415049Fallout doesn't appeal to its fans, in fact almost the opposite, and its a big success, so maybe the execs are on to something here.
>>219415049Appealing to non gamers means making the show empty and nothing happens.
>>219415049Dont bother and just watch The Expanse instead, its the closest thing we'll ever get to a decent ME show
>>219415049Hopefully that means they’re adding more alien sex scenes
>>219415843> Because nobody takes videogames seriouslyBecause they’re not serious media, they’re toys.
>>219416913It's a success because Hollywood is pivoting to video game adaptations since that's where the majority of consumer entertainment spending is going
>>219415049>male Shepard gets blown up in big finale of season one>gets rebuild for season 2 but they alter him genetically to be FemShepNow both sets of fans are happy
>>219417086I would be cool with that just as long as she lesbian rapes Tali.
>>219417022kill yourself
>>219416972Still mad we're never getting the Laconia arc adapted.
>>219416877C'mon now, you know they would never cast an attractive white woman in a TV show nowadays.
>>219416973Only gay ones.
>>219417080So you're saying that Mass Effect by being a video game adaptation it will be a success by that virtue alone?
>>219415112femshep with nudity mod and a horse cock who's canonically 11 years old
>>219417201>someone tells a game his games are just games>gamer immediately spergs out and invokes violenceget a real hobby with friends or where you produce something. video games are just elaborate toys
>>219418535kill yourself
>>219418535
>>219415253If they just make a more violent and edgy star trek it could easily work
>>219415112Release different cuts of the show.And a whole alternate femShep version.
Mass Effect isn't even very "Gamery". It's basically Babylon 5.
>>219417132She would still have male Shepard’s voice
>>219419542>create a game version of an interesting existing TV show format to explore it in a different medium> years later adapt that game back to the original mediumyeah the media industries pretty much have terminal cancer at this point
>>219415049There is no audience left for mass effect. The franchise is nothing but broken promises and plagiarism with romance options.
>>219419690Same thing with the Legend of Zelda movie. LoZ as a video game franchise is pretty much just fairy tales: the video game. What makes it interesting is that it is a video game. It's the interactivity, and the game design.You may as well just make a Jack and the Beanstalk movie, and it'd be the same basic thing.
