... and I reckon tomorrow would be an amazing day to release the next Mass Effect. It really would be. 

On the other 10%, there are two commentaries I wanted to make:

i) The sense of exploration in this film was really good, I won't spoil (almost) anything, but they land in more than one planet and they look and feel very different. And that is something that ME'4' must have if it wants to make exploration truly great. I adored landing on a planet in ME1. Some of those vistas were incredible and it really felt, looking up, that I was somewhere else. The problem was the planet itself. They were the same moutains with different textures. I would much rather have less planets that feel unique than more that feel the same. 

And that goes beyond just aesthetics, it about game mechanics as well. Driving could feel different depending on the planet for example. And some of them could offer unique challenges and stuff.

Anyway, the point is that the universe offer a lot of options and I hope that ME'4' uses that to give us a feel that Interstellar at its best gave.

ii) that robot in the film totally stole EDI's sense of humor.

Hopefully BioWare will take these many different planets idea to heart - and I have little doubt they will.  The last Twitch TV showed us that they have a lot of ideas for completely different looking locations.

 

Maybe I'll even watch the movie.

I just hope the next ME does away with this idea of a single climate to characterize planets, a notion that seems to pervade our science fiction movies (except for Star Trek 3, heh).

 

Ah well, multiple climates are... complicated.

I saw the movie today and it makes me think about the next Mass Effect too.

 

I agree with you about the repetitiveness of the planets in ME1. I would also like more diversified environments in the next ME, with more impact of the different climates and gravities.

I saw it, and I was just like "hey, Lazarus Project, I've heard that before!"

[wiyazzie]

i just hope that there will be more diverse enviroments instead of constantly land on barren lands for example we could land on a planet that is just a giant graveyard that was a location of a major battle with the reapers and there are parts of different kind of ships everywhere or maybe a planet that used to be a home-world to a race except all of its resources have been depleted leaving it inhospitable.

I asked Schlerf if he was using this movie as inspiration for NextME and he responded that he was just going to see it that Thursday. Good thing the lead writer has this in his memory, but I guess the main plot of ME4 is already largely locked down.

I would love to see Christopher Nolan make a Mass Effect movie that isn't a retelling of ME1

Always could write a DLC inspired from it

Meh.   I'm seeing all these comparisons to other popular SciFi series, such as Star Trek and Star Wars.   I'm of a different opinion.  I think that the ME universe has an entity completely on it's own and has more than the where with all to stand up to both of them.  My own personal opinion?  I'd love to see Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas in a room playing ME and being a fly on the wall.

Something I thought was interesting was the old classic "Battlezone." We're talking OLD, but a really good one - it's a PC tank game which is something of a hybrid of real-time strategy and first-person shooter that I haven't seen done anywhere else. Set on various planets and moons in the solar system, you had different environmental hazards to contend with on different worlds. Lightning, heavy fog, lava on Io, simple stuff like that can go a long way to setting different worlds apart.

And I hear you, Obadiah, problem being you'd only see different biomes if we're setting down at multiple locations on the same planet.

Loved the movie. Didn't remind me of anything from Mass Effect. But, it was good.

I just wanna shoot mercs and baddies in the face with my Widow. That's all.

I was actually a bit disappointed by Interstellar's planets as I thought I had seen them before in Mass Effect/KOTOR.

 

Noveria, Manaan, Kashyyk, Tuchanka etc. all had a very distinct, non-Earth-like feel to them. In the cases of Noveria and Manaan they are basically the same planets we see in Interstellar (minus the tidal waves and frozen clouds).

[Mcfly616]

You're disappointed in Interstellar's planets because Mass Effect had something similar... And by similar you mean "ice" and "water".....

[PainCakesx]

It's true that Interstellar's planets weren't out of this world unique or crazy, but they were meant to be relatively grounded. And a look at the worlds in our own Solar System show that while there is some diversity in them (Earth being the exception), they are all generally barren wastelands.

Yes, Interstellar didn't blow my mind because I felt like I had already 'been there, seen that'.

[Nitrocuban]

Ice and water has become way too mainstream.
