I'm actually very very happy I didn't spend money to go to Comic Con - because this panel would've been really the only thing I would've looked forward to - and now that it's over...well....I saved money.


Jokes on you, Comic-con was free. :P


Yea but I would've had to pay the plane ticket and accomondation :P

CC is NOT free, only the OUTSIDE booths are free. The entrace fee for four days is $250.

Closure is "Shepard is dead".  Closure is not "Shepard lives under specific circumstances in one of the endings" since that doesn't actually close anything, as it leaves quite a few questions unanswered: How is Shepard rescued from the Citadel?  Does Shepard retire from military service?  Does Shepard reunite with her/his LI?  Do they have kids?  What are the names of the kids?  What else does Shepard do? etc.

I mean, hell, the Control ending doesn't even deliver closure.  Since we never get to see what Computer Overlord Shepard says to its friends.

Closure is knowing where everyone is at the end of the story and by implication knowing what sort of paths are open to them in the future. It doesn't include that beyond-the-story future. No certain death and no certain reunion sure as hell isn't closure but it doesn't need to show us a house on Rannoch or little blue babies.

Well there ya go. I'm not paying $250+ for "Is Shepard alive?" "Well..hmm..maybe he took his last breath while dying." "Can't say more" "Tease, tease"

I interpreted it more as "Yeah, he's dead, but even we thought that was bleak, so we shot a little bit of false hope into there, and you can believe it if you'd like."

Not trying to be sarcastic, but over text, that's how it sounded, and I can respect that more than "tease tease tease". Still poop, but at least honest.

So, Shepard is really dead. Dead, dead. Shepard. Is. Dead.

....oh...shep.....

It's painful all over again.

The Rogue Reaper thing seems really cool. I think you guys should get alot of great info about the origins of the Reapers. I would hope there would be some great backstory this rogue reaper has to share....

I should go.

Ugh. Reading all that just made me angry again. Just tell me that Shepard is dead. I can take it and would prefer it over that meaningless "beacon of hope."

If it is dead in the water, Good. They just save themselves the embarrasment.

Theres one answer I can give when one thinks about making a movie based on a game: Dont. They never work out. Theres plenty of examples.


The more a movie from a game tries to make stuff up based on the game, or the more holes they have to fill in because the game had a very thin story, the worse they seem to do.

Mario Brothers: The game had a very thin plot. I honestly don't even remember anything beyond "jump across the happy green terrain, shooting bad guys and avoiding the unnecessarily large plants and boulders -- and giant ****ing rockets that we added in the 3rd game."
Mortal Kombat: The games have a plot but it's about as thin as they come. They tried to throw in something deeper in the movie and it didn't work.
Street Fighter: Now, Street Fighter actually has a half-way decent history but they made the first movie before that story had a chance to really develop.
The Legend of Chun Li: This came out after the Street Fighter story had a chance to develop and they just ignored it and turned it into the generic action flick I've ever seen part of. It looked like Steven Segal should have had a cameo. (He'd probably make a better Guile than Jean-Claude Van Damme.) True, I don't know if you could weave all the Street Fighter stories together into something coherent.
Doom 3: It could have been good with the change to the premise if they focused on it more, but it would still be a bastardization of the source material. The game's plot was basically: alien technology opens a portal to Hell. Kill everything that stops you from closing it. Most every event in the game just moved you forward in getting to kill Betreuger (sp?) and did little for any amount of story. I chose to ignore Doom 1 and 2 because the plot in those is as thin as Mario Brothers.
Silent Hill: It might have been a nice little Japanese horror movie if it was done by the Japanese. I never played the games but Japanese horror is more atmosphere than gore.
Max Payne: Could have been good. I didn't see it so I don't really know what's wrong with it. The games certainly had a well fleshed-out story.
Any movie directed by Uwe Boll: Well, we just won't go there.
Dead or Alive: I never played the games but the movie was mostly about watching women's boobs and from what I hear, that's mostly what the games were mostly about anyway.

The difference is that movies are about telling a story. Games (traditionally) are about action or adventure. BioWare and CD Projekt Red seem to be slowly changing that convention and movies like Kill Bill (the first one) challenge the notion that movies can't be as much about action as any video game. If Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat were treated like Kill Bill (the first one), it would have been a good movie.

It would take the right game company and movie studio to realize that movies and games are two incredibly disparate tools to tell a story and are generally (as we've seen) incompatible. They try to take the game story, throw in some peppers and onions, and copypasta it into a feature film. Hell, up until the last couple years, games were never about telling a story so it should come as no surprise that most game-to-movie conversion fail.

But someone needs to tell me why they're still making Resident Evil movies.

Shep lives, don't worry about that. The love interest shows hope that hes still alive and they go after him, few seconds later wee see him breathe. It would be pretty dark to show shep's last breath like that....nope hes alive

Oh I never doubted for a second that he survived. I'm just saying that they're playing mind games with us. They want to see war, I swear.

The bioware booth with MP dlc was great, we will be getting all promotional single player weapons such as the AT-12, Argus, and Valkiyre Rifle soon, we already got the particle rifle a few days ago.

The other booths and such were good from what I hear as well, expendables 2 looks like it'll learn not to be another jason statham with guest stars everyone else so that's cool.

All in all, great con to be perfectly blunt.

They're showing the launch trailer for the first time now. It's all about "keeping what's left of Earth free, or die trying."




Where is this trailer.

It seemed pretty simple to me.  Fans have been griping about how Shepard must have died in the scene as it played out, so one of the writers slapped on the troll mask and said, "Sure.  It was his last gasp.  Problem?"

If people are hellbent on being miserable about the breath scene... why should Bioware keep trying to convince them otherwise?
