They could get Drew to adapt Revelation for the screen and get Joey Ansah to play a young Anderson. Problem solved everyone is happy. Plus we get a young Saren!

Take a look:



I'd watch it.

Careful now. Posting super-disarming and logical questions like those can quickly kill the discussion, which is based on anything but.

Seriously though, seconded.

Actually, most of us that have posted more than once have been quite logical in our arguements, even if we do not agree. The unreasonable ones are those that are 'whining about the whiners'. As sundance stated, those of us that are critical of the idea are attempting to influence a change in the production while we can still do it.

[LGTX]

One thread full of people intolerant to opinions isn't going to influence anything. I have stated my pretty argument-reinforced stance earlier in the topic, and I stand by it; we do not have enough to speculate on. What we DO have is blurry and abstract at most, only worth nitpicking if you're motivated by something I can't quite comprehend, so I won't try.

But I'll add something even more subjective, if I may, and sorry for offending anyone in advance. I've seen some posts saying that the story can't be adapted to a 2-hour long feature, or something along those lines? I can definitely say that their authors know little about writing screenplays and incorporating their effectiveness with the directorial skillset. Things have been bigscreened that were laughed upon during the attempts, and Mass Effect's "intricate storyline" is a walk in the park next to those.

would like say that to thsoe saying "its a horrible idea because its not my shepard blah blah not my choices blah blah" well guess what you're right. the shepard that (might) be in this movie isn't your shepard at all and as such wont make the choices you make. does this mean it will be a horrible story? no. just like when I watch a vid of something on youtube about ME1 or 2 Im not watching my shepard but doesn't mean what the person put up isnt done well.

if all you can think of for why this movie shouldn't be done is "not my shepard" and "video game movies are bad" then Im not really sure how I can respond other than to say yes your are right on the first point and for the most part on the second point. neither are a good way of spurring debate as one is a statement of fact and the other is a sweeping generalization.

Choices are irrlevenat - it's a movie, not a game. Who the hell goes into a movie expecting to be able to direct how it plays out?

Choices are relevant.  It was a game, not a movie.

No.

When I watched the vids for ME2, it spoiled the experience for me so bad that I couldn't play it for a year.  I kept restarting on the normandy and seeing ugly Sheploo's face and hearing retarded Meer's voice.

I don't watch vids on youtube because they're not my Shep.  I haven't seen any of the ME3 stuff, and by god, I don't ever intend to.

What, it's not logical to be worried about Bioware elevating one specific type of playthrough above all other possibilities? Which essentially means that after any playthough that deviates from the canon version, you get a pop up saying it was all a dream and didn't really happen?

It's not logical to be the slightest bit worried about that? Really?

[DarthSlim108]

Why would I already be upset about it when we haven't seen so much as a poster yet? You people need to quit getting your panties in a bunch and give this thing a chance. Just because it's based on the game doesn't mean they can't make it a good movie.

No, it's not. First off, we have no reason to believe the canon of the movie will effect the game. This movie is going to drop LONG after ME3 does. The movie's canon isn't going to affect the game's canon.

Second, even if it did, even if Bioware did say the movie is OFFICIAL canon, what does that change about your playthroughs? Nothing.

Some arguments in this, I can at least understand. People worrying that it won't be good? I get that.People thinking that there are better avenues to explore? I get that. I disagree with the points, but I get where they're coming from. Worrying that the movie somehow invalidates your playthroughs, though, is just plain silly.

I'll wait till the movie is out before I start whining about things I cannot change.

If  the movie doesn't live up to the game when the movie is done there won't be a reason to complain. Complain to who after the movie is completed ? For what reason?

They're not "elevating" anything.
Nothing is being destroyed or made invalid by the movie.

You whiners are just self-entilted, self-centered, possesive weirdos with fragile egos.

And yet, you are the one reverting to personal attacks....

I'll leave it up to you to interpret the implications

Did you really think that they would make a Mass Effect movie and not have it based around Shepard? I hate to break it to you guys but the whole Mass Effect universe revolves around Shepard, and no not your Shepard but this guy



You know the guy on the cover and every single piece of advertising for the game? I mean seriously guys use a bit of common sense, it makes me laugh every time somebody starts crying about the fact that the movie will be based on the on the events of the first game or the fact that the Commander Shepard in the movie wont be a woman, as if such things even had a chance of happening.

Problem with this theory champ. That Shepard would not exist in a movie based upon Commander Shepard, as the person modeling him is not an actor. So it would be a completely unique Shepard who played the role. Now if someone of actual repute was hired, like a Matt Damon. I would be significantly more interested since he usually tends to follow good work. Nonetheless, I am primarily indifferent about the concept. If they wish to use Shepard, by all means go for it. My only requirement is they actually make it worth my time and not something that is a convoluted mess (looking at you Resident Evil)

Only if you let it. But come on, Bioware has spent the past 5+ years building up this franchise that is so heavily based on player choice. They're not going to undo all of that by officially stating that the movie is the "canon" version of the story.

You shouldn't be so thin-skinned that a movie you don't even intend to watch hurts your experience. Batman and Robin was a bad movie, but it didn't keep me from enjoying Batman comics. Get real.

Wait wait i don't understand. My friends don't like to watch me play mass effect cause they aren't interested. In a movie world full of sci fi movies (most of which that aren't good) why would people who haven't played the games or heard of them be interested in this movie? Not trying to start an arguement but someone pls explain why we're assuming a whole bunch of people who have no idea about this would rush to the theater

I'm mostly voicing my displesure at the ME1 choice. I was hoping for something nonShepard based, and I would've watched that, but...  Bioware.

They will if they think it will make them more money.

You make a pretty good point.  I imagine most people would have to be recommended by fans of the game...  hehe.

I sign this, most non-english people like me never read any of the books due to access/language issues, this would be a good idea for the movie which would be more likely to have more translations or subs

agreed on both, I am happy there never was a Fallout movie, the Baldur's Gate books made me cringe already, I don't want such things ever again

You really should read the book it is pretty good. The intro to the book is great.  The later chapters shines some light on the whole Saren and Anderson issue. Anderson was one pretty cool Spectre candidate. I like Joey he has a love for video games as well . After I read his bio I was convinced the guy was similar to young  Anderson based on Drew's description in the book.
