Live-action and aliens CGI. Only if it rivals the level of CGI in Star Wars and Avatar. 

Green lantern should give us a good look in to whats possible with live-action and cgi aliens.

If live action the story can't be about Shepard, it has to be set in the wider universe.

that's the only way to do it

Green Lantern's use of CGI was amazing

still the ME movie needs to be all in CGI, you want the original actors, this is not a movie from a comicbook which can be interpreted, we already HAD those actors infront of us for countless of hours, anything less would just not feel right

These are all classic movies by the way... can I get a source to back up that "most companies" comment? Because it seems to me most companies are still making live action movies.

There's plenty you can do live action, and you fill in what you cant with cg special effects, those transformers were not guys in suits you know! It doesn't have to be one or the other. This is as pointless as asking whether it should be entirely CG or filmed in black and white with nothing but piano music.


I never said that.  Might want to fix your quote. :huh:

I wouldn't mind live action with integrated CGI.

I'm pretty sure they've already said it won't be about Shepard.

First Contact War, Maybe? I think that sounds like the most logical timeframe because it can allow them to build a completely knew hero/ine and give us some Cameos from the likes of Hackett/Anderson before they were big shots.

Biotics are cheaper to make with colors rather than people.

So CGI it is.

Bah! CG for Aliens! That always looks bad.

Did no one see Galaxy Quest? Remember the villain in that? Sarris? He looked perfect an that was done with animatroinics over an actor.

A Good animatronic rig that captures actor performance would work perfectly for both Turian and Krogans . . . possibly Salarians as well (though you'd need small women to wear those outfits I think).

You'd definitely need CG for Hannar and perhaps Elcor soley for wide shots I guess, but most everyone else could be done with animatronics or good make up and costumes.

I think it would be best as animation.

Plenty, doesn't mean it will be good. There is not one movie that I am aware of where they used live action in combination with wire work and have it look good. And don't say Star Wars. Also there are things you can get away with and cg that you can't with live action. For instance. not choreographed combat. Combat can be real and physical instead of it just being a couple of close punches mixed with well placed camera angles. If a Krogan punches Shepard in a live action.... unless the actors can really sell it, some people will see through it. If a Krogan punches Shepard in a CG movie, He can REALLY punch Shepard. With Biotic attacks they can really show the impact and gravity loss realistically without having to worry about an actors safety. Also they don't have to spend an overwhelming amount of money on actors and actresses to play the roles. Voice work doesn't get nearly as much as on camera work.


CG fights can be real and physical? I read the correctly?

So here is the question. Mass Effect movie....we all know it's coming. So which would you rather see Bioware do, A CG movie or give the rights to a Hollywood company and make it live action? Why do you think it would be the best choice?

IMO, CG would be best for countless reasons. If not just for the main reason that Bioware would have absolute control of the storyline and the property, I would say that the with CG you can do countless things that you can't do in live action.....or at least do well. While I could sit here and list things all day I figure I would see what the general consensus is.


CG.

but its damned expensive which is a problem especially in this economic crisis.

If its live action then i think it'll degrade the ME universe. Hollywood had at times surprise me though.

Just tell all those Hollywood people to go home, take all the money you would spend on actors, directors, lights, scenography, special effects, catering, and everything else...

...and go with it to Blur. Then be praised for the best videogame related movie in history.

I say go full CGI. Personally I believe it'd be easier to capture the look and feel of the Mass Effect universe that way and if they do it with the same quality the ME2 Cinematic trailer was done in it'll be sweet.

Live action on asari, human and batarian. Motion capture for Turian, Krogan and Quarian. CG for elcor and volus.

Live action with CG assuming that it about Shepard and company.  CG if it is. 

Personally, I think a movie about the First Contact Wars could be pretty cool.  It would be the hardest for Hollywood to **** up, IMO.
