It'll be canon...within the movie.
This is not a hard concept to grasp. The ME movie won't have any more effect on the games than, say, Batman Begins had on Batman comics. A different interpretation doesn't automatically invalidate other interpretations.
Indeed! I did some digging through my internet history, and can at least confirm that I didn't miss anything: the liveblog mentions nothing about ME1.PhatSeeJay wrote...

For what it's worth, I was reading the live blog during the panel, and they said nothing about the movie being based on ME1. This could of course be the live blogger messing up or me missing something, but figured I'd mention it anyway.Bogsnot1 wrote...
So far, Ive read the linked article (takes me to the Australian mirror), and watched the embedded interview, where the IGN girl (Naomi) is interviewing the IGN director (Jim), and nothing has been said about it being about ME1. The ony thing that was said, was by Naomi, stating she would like to see a female Cmdr Shepard, in response to Jims question abotu what she would like to see in the movie.
Anyone have anything that actually comfirms it being about ME1, or is IGN once again speculating, and proving you cant spell ignorant without IGN?
If they had actually said that, I'm sure more media bodies would have picked up on it, and actually offered a full bloody quote of that specific thing!

But longer than 3 hours is.
So they cut Feros just like they did in the Genesis prequel comic for ME2. The Thorian was irrelevant to the overall plot anyway.
Eden Prime
Citadel (recruit Tali, Wrex, Garrus/ if no Therum: Liara)
----> optionally : Therum (recruit Liara)
Noveria (tweak plot so that Cerberus is tied to Binary Helix to introduce group for sequel)
Virmire (talk Wrex down, save whichever)
Ilos
Finale
That can easily fit into 2 to 2.5 hours.

No they cut it out because there was no major choice there.Omega-202 wrote...

Getting the Prothean cipher is just a MacGuffin to chase after. If they wanted, the Cipher could simply have been included in the Beacon on Eden Prime or the one on Virmire.
Again, there's a reason that BioWare didn't include Feros in the Genesis Comic. It was a pointless padding mission.

That is just painfully wrong.
If Batman is such a defined character, how do you get everything ranging from:
The Golden Age Detective era
The Silver Age super campy era
the Adam West TV show
the ultra gritty 80's version, including the Dark Knight Returns
The Tim Burton "twisted nightmare" style films
The Joel Schumacher films
The Original Animated Series
The Brave and the Bold Animated Series
The current Nolan-verse
Each of these versions has more differences from each other than any possible pertubation of Shepard. Batman has had more love interests than Shepard could have. Different media and versions have even had completely diametrically opposed versions of a single event happen based off of different choices made by their Batman.
Bringing up Batman in this conversation is a nail in the coffin to your "defined character" argument.

Not only is Shepards background not defined, they can also be any gender.
Well for one they will probaly make him look like Sheploo(littlezack wrote...
So? So what? You mean to tell me that if they go with,say, the Earthborn Survivor background, that'll somehow effect the game you played and the hero you choose? How?
), two, Shepard is female to me not male and they have kept the gender of Shepard unmentioned outside games and thirdly 99% of Shepards personalty and traits is made up from the player. Are you really telling me you don't know why people are not happy with this, nor do they want a movie based on Shepard?

Also that's not getting into the romance stuff that is a whole new can of worms. It's not that hard to grasp.

Oh, I get why people are upset at the notion. But it's a dumb reason. It's the same reason some fanfic writers get up in arms whenever a sequel comes out to something they made that goes against the fanfic they created. 'Soul Calibur 4 ruined my Soul Calibur 3 fanfics!'

I dont understand why so many people think retelling ME1 is the only way for the film to have a good story, as if it's impossible for something else interesting or exciting to happen in the ME universe.
I don't buy the idea that newcomers will only be interested in a retelling of the game either. The brand awareness is in the name. How much do you think people who haven't played ME1 actually know about the story? I'd say very little, not enough to have them interested.
First Contact is still the way to go IMO, the story is much better suited to being told in a film.
Start off with the discovery of the Prothean ruins on Mars and how it changes the world, move on to the romantics of space exploration and founding colonies. Find out there are aliens, Oh Noes! They're attacking! Bit of 'splosions and what not then finish off with the first googly eyed humans to visit the citadel.

Based on what we have from the games is what we wanted, just not shepard. It is more likely to fail this way. I am dissapointed at best. since Comic Con alI feel about the new ME stuff is that. I mean no permanent squaddies? That's lazy, like ME2 only showing Jacob, Miranda and Mordin voicing opinions.masseffectfan00 wrote...
Instead of a made up story from scratch. I would never watch a ME movie if it weren't based on the series and its good to have it based on the series because we already know the story is amazing minus ME2. I got a feeling that the movies will be just as good as the video games cause the story is just too good and they can't possibly screw up the movie unless they try to on purpose.

Come to think of it, this is actually worse than that, since a sequel to a game actually does affect the original canon. The Mass Effect movie will come out a long time after ME3 drops. Hell, I'll be surprised if they even start filming by then. It changes nothing.
