The devs have said that they won't establish a canon story because it's a game about choices. Now they've sold the rights to have a Mass Effect movie made, which clearly goes against their previous statement about there not being a 'canon' Shepard/set of choices.

This is quite the middle finger to the fans.

So true. If they follow Shepard's story then it really is a stab in the back. If they don't, then I have no problem at all. The galaxy is so big and there are so many possibilities, so I don't see why they NEED to focus on Shepard.

The movie will exist separately from the games. What the devs promised you about the game doesn't apply.

I can't wait to see it.



Hollywood effects, big named actors, glorious fights.



Shepard vs Saren. Sovereign tearing through three combined fleets?



How can you not want to see that?

Perfect, b/c it featured my Shepard and my Shepard's unique story, not some d-bag I will care nothing for.

Next thing you know Mass Effect will be coming as toys in Happy Meals to promote this film



The day I see Wrex or Garrus bieng reduced to cheaply made toys with three different voice clips is the day I castrate myself.

You mean you don't want to see the King in N7 armor?

[GETH1183]

With luck Bioware does manage to pull this thing off right and follow someone else around the Mass Effect universe like the follow Anderson after giving Shepard the Normandy or Saren's side of the story

One could hope as my Shepard might go on a shooting spree on Illium

Actually those don't look too bad. Reminds me of the days when I used to read Toyfare magazine.

meh, I'll watch it, and i'll enjoy it, but I doubt it'll be a "good" movie.

[Airell]

they said it will be based off the game . shaphard will be in it as well as the reapers I just hope it not another D&D movie.

It will feature a male Commander Shepard too, so it's already fail in my books. Will....not....watch!

Argh, this is why any Mass Effect movie made about the main storyline will be unwatchable for me. Right off the bat I know that it will be featuring some Sheploo lookalike. Even if it does have a female lead though, the people who played Guysheps will be pissed, it's a lose/lose situation. There are so many choices to be made individually, and these choices are so integral to the enjoyment of the game, that to try and replicate that experience minus what made it good in the first place is going to fall flat.

Plus since ME 1 and 2 played so much like a movie anyways, this seems pretty redundant.

We've all grown accustomed to our favorite characters' appearances and voices. To cast someone as Liara (or any of the other characters for that matter) in a live action role would be really jarring for me. So if this movie ever sees the light of day and it turns out to be based on ME1 I'm going to be really, really disappointed.

Imagine if you please, a Mass Effect movie featuring a Joker who isn't Seth Green *shudder*.

I've always been in the minority in this one, but I've always thought this could work, and with Shepard's story, no less.

I know people are ultimately worried about whoever they get not being "their" Shep for whatever reason, but as long as the writing, directing, and acting is solid, then why not? It's one thing if they portray a character as something they're not, but as long as they depict him (or her) within the confines of how they can be portrayed within the universe, then that's fine by me.

I just don't see it working out any other way. To make it appeal to the moviegoing public, it has to be relevant and relatable. Shepard's story is what most casual Mass Effect fans know, and what can be easily translated to everyone else. They can do stories like Revelations and the First Contact War once they establish the universe. Make people care and want to know more about Anderson and how the Humans "met" the Turians. Regardless of what you think about the X-Men movie franchise, an origins story based on Wolverine wouldn't of had any appeal to anyone except the die hard comic book nerds if they decided to do that storyline first.

As long as those guys dont' get a say on how the third game is made. I don't want to see the game released at the same time as the movie and I especially don't want them to make the third game expecting it to have a "movie" ending. They should have waited until the finished the third game before they decided to turn it into a movie.

That would be my primary concern. Whether they totally muck up a Mass Effect movie I really don't care so long as the games stay quality. I'd feel better about this if ME3 was already done. But I can just see some sort of stupid movie tie-in with ME3 or future games. Ugh.

[LiquidGrape]

What bothers me is that, unless they revamp the entire premise, the film is bound to be lousy since the storyline of Mass Effect is rather lacking in itself.
Let's be honest here; Mass Effect is quite bereft of substance on any level other than the character interaction. On the big screen, it'll likely just translate into any other generic sci-fi blockbuster. Like the most recent Star Trek film.

I don't want to be pessimistic, but to think what Hollywood will do to our beloved game once they get their hands on it...

[Ieldra]

Most movies inspired by games have been crap. I'd be very surprised if an ME movie turned out better.



I don't share the concern about "It's not my Shepard". Movie characters are never my characters, so now I watch another's version of Commander Shepard. So what? I play several different Shepards myself, why would I be bothered by this?

[Tooneyman]

If they are going to make a mass effect movie. Let it be the prequel book. Revelation or ascension. I would say Revelation because its the story before shepards tale. This way everyone is happy. Seriously. Make the movies from the books. No body is un happy and speaking of the books. I'm going to go read revelation now.

[Omicrone]

If they made based the script on 1 of Drew Karpyshin's books, the movie would actually be good.

[Dark_Caduceus]

I thought the cinematic power of Mass Effect was evidence that videogames can stand on their own as a storytelling medium. Apparently not.
