Will there ever be a mass effect tv show?

>>86513452
hopefully not. Don't need to hear more about space trannies and how looking for the interest of your own species is eeeevil

>>86513452
I hope not
They fucked up 3 real bad, and some people consider 2 a fuck up too (there are story criticisms before you jump on my back, faggots)
I wouldn't trust them to do mass effect properly

>>86513505
Shut the fuck up you kike

>>86513559
2 is the best one for character stories, perfect for a tv show.

>>86513559
>some people consider 2 a fuck up too (there are story criticisms before you jump on my back, faggots)
Three or four butthurt ME1fags don't count as "people". ME2 is by far the best rated ME game both critically and by gamers themselves. The real worry is how weak the writing was in Andromeda.

unless sci fi suddenly falls out of style with normies, definitely

>>86513612
Yeah tis true
As far as vidya gaem though, the actual meat of the main plot was pretty short and most of it was filler which i agree with but still doesn't detract from how much i liked it
Nevertheless, I suppose my point was that even the people that made mass effect didn't get mass effect right (ME3) and some even claim 2 was a bad departure (most of it game related some of it story) so i'm not exactly hopeful that a ME tv series won't just shit all over itself
and yet i'd probably watch it and enjoy hating on parts of it that break from canon lol

>>86513708
>three or four
Yes i know they're a minority, but i also don't think they can be dismissed out of turn either
>andromeda
jesus christ i almost forgot about that
I didn't even not-buy it out of hate
I just kinda saw game and felt indifference, so never got around to buying it. after a week i realized I didn't really care that i didn't see/play it lol

>>86513452
Playing it is like a TV show.
Listening to characters debate each other or listening to others stories.

It would be incredible if someone adapted it, not sure how they could do it though since the ending to me3 has ruined the franchise, even andromeda suffered because of it.

Make one about Canderous and his life in the Wars, or as a merc instead

If witcher can get a netflix adaptation, surely mass effect can, or at the very least a movie/cartoon/anime.

People shit on ME2 and 3 for the main plot being shit but the best parts of those games were the character stuff, i'd have loved a game set between mass effect 2 and 3 and it's just shep and co going on side adventures.

>>86513452
Animated series would be great.

>mass effect tv show?
You mean the game that ripped off every sci-fi/space opera franchise? The one where the enjoyable part was creating a character and playing the game to find all the branches of story dependent on agency and choice?
Fucking why?
Fuck off market research.

>>86514041
It would require way too much money for the costumes and the special effects.
A live action series would be GoT all over again.

>>86513906
>mordin death smile.png
It still hurts

Honestly, seeing the budget that the new Star Trek got, it could legit work with a good showrunner behind it. ME1 and ME2 are pretty much episodic in how they're structured anyway.

Just one question:
FemShep or MaleShep?
And who's gonna be the love interest?

>>86513965
For Witcher you just need a crowd of larpers and a couple of slav villages, not aliens and space stations.

>>86513452
Should be, based on ME1, the others SUCK

>>86514139
It would probably be a new story, a new alliance leader with mostly human suqadmates but 2 or 3 aliens, definitely not a krogan or turion but something easier to create like asari.

>>86514139
Femshep with Fassbender Garrus.

>>86514172
Witcher is riding the success of GoT and with GoT ending, it may find a wave of GoT fans latching onto the show for a quick boost of new-watchers.

>>86514092
Fuck, you're right about that. It'd cost a fuckton
I dunno.
If only it could be done in the same quality as swtor cinematic trailer quality.. that'd cost a fuckton too though. shit.

Everything about Mass effect is built on the skeleton/body of KOTOR. Even speech patterns, I remember the elcor race speak like hk47, the spectres=jedi etc.

Andromeda actually isn't terrible overall, but it's a clear drop in quality compared to the trilogy.

mass effect is fucking gay

>>86514514
Speaking of this
any mass effect movie with or without shepard requires that vigil theme, even as an emotional ambience, or that music as shep walks down the length of the SSV Normandy to the cockpit

Correct. Characters like Tali and Garrus were pretty flat and unremarkable until ME2. Ashley was much better in ME1 than in the sequels, but she's an exception.

>>86515155
>ME3 renegade Shepard was a crazy maniac.

No, he wasn't. I played renegade and he was fine. The badass 80s action anti-hero Shepard from ME2 is the best though, I agree about that. That's why ME2 is my favorite, it feels like a cheesy action movie with a bunch of cliched killers (the veteran merc, the religious assassin, the biotic psycho with a hidden heart of gold, etc) going on a romp throughout the galaxy.

>>86515265
FemShep is a better bet, honestly. DudeShep is too boring and generic for TV.

Not an argument.

>>86515465
Ashley was okay, but I was played a soldier and banged Liara, so I chose Kaidan. She was shit in ME3, though.

>>86515521
With the exception of Sarah Connor and Ripley female action hero protagonists suck 100% of the time.

>>86515551
Fair enough, I guess. I mean I never chose between them because I could broker peace. That said, I hate Tali's accent and I could never bang her.

>all these niggas saying FemShep
If we get FemShep we don't get the Tali romance.
Buff DudeShep who's basically Kirk and Picard combined that bangs cute-ass Tali

There, 11 million viewers every episode and 30+ emmies

>>86515690
Liara is more popular than Tali and she's the closest to a canon love interest. If there is a show Liara would be the love interest 100% guaranteed.

FemShep does suck, tho.

>>86515640
FemShep was legitimately cool, though. She was fun to watch.

She was okay mostly because she was voiced by Jennifer Hale. DudeShep was better, however. His actor was a little stiff in ME1, but he was GOAT in ME3. And he sounded naturally badass, unlike Hale, who had to do that "Grrr, I am totally a tough warrior" voice.

>>86515929
That's because you're literally his hero. Canderous would beat Wrex in a fight, Mandalorians > Krogan.

>>86515690
Tali was originally meant to be a love interest for FemShep too; it got scrapped because her VA went all muh religion or something. But as >>86515733 said, Liara is the main girl of the series, so it doesn't really matter.

>>86516702

KEK
1/10

>>86516702
The point is that "canon" doesn't matter in a game that leaves these choices completely up to the player. The story does favor Liara, but it says nothing about Shep's specialization for example.

>>86516909
>>86516910
Shepard never uses biotics or tech powers in cut scenes, even when he's a biotic or tech class and it would make sense. He does use an assault rifle multiple times even when he shouldn't be able to actually use one, though.

More importantly, it makes sense for the viewer self-insert to be a normal soldier surrouned by these crazy aliens and biotic powers and shit.

>>86517158
Fair enough, though Kaidan doesn't use his biotics in cutscenes either for some reason.
>More importantly, it makes sense for the viewer self-insert to be a normal soldier surrouned by these crazy aliens and biotic powers and shit.
Being too normal can make a character boring, though. Just look at Avatar and its generic soldierdude MC. Does anybody even remember his name?

Shepard's not that "normal", though. He's a badass super-soldier, who is chosen to be a space judge Dredd, basically.

People who watch sci-fi are mostly men. People who watch action are mostly men. Good female action heroes are incredibly rare and hard to do, they don't click with the target audience, and the studios know that. This is a business, after all.
