As for a mass effect series, I'm not an advocate for a tv series for a number of reasons. The first being that it needs a lot of CGI or some really good animatronics to make believable aliens, given that we interact with aliens quite a lot in the ME universe. A series might not have the budget available for such a level of investment over a long time such as the running period of the series. I just don't wanna see a mass effect consisting of mostly humans or the occasional cheap cgi aliens.

 

True that. Without good CGI/VFX work it would be difficult to watch.

Anyway this is an utopian conversation..we don t even have books about Mass Effect.

 

Hmm, there are search engines for that (GoodReads link).

Related to Shepard or any major character? i see one line or two about Shepard. Read them all.

If there is no open rights in any way (like in other sagas like Star trek or Starwars) to even have books how could we wish a movie or a tv series? that is why i think this is utopian.

and your argument on how Game of Thrones are popular because characters deaths are just as nonsensical.

I guess some of you don't other watching HBO shows as well.. Game of Thrones, True Blood, True Detectives, Empire... all of which uses gratuitous stuff to attract its viewership. Even the first couple seasons of GoT struggled to gain its base, sexposition is what the earlier seasons was famous for and they didn't became massive worldwide commercial success and internet sensation overnight. While characters deaths was a factor but it certainly wasn't what makes GoT unique especially in television.
 
The last HBO I watched that was heavily political but without any gratuitous sex/violence was Show Me A Hero. Love it and adore it and yet hardly anyone knows it exist. Showtime's The Borgias was premiered the same week as Game of Thrones, both historical, political, gratuitous violence and sex but it didn't fair well after a few seasons. BTW, Cesare and Lucrezia did better at being convincingly siblings who are having an incestuous affair than the Lannisters. 
 
...as if Mass Effect are going to be adult-only.

 
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You're arguing against reality. When people talk about Game of Thrones they talk about things like the Red Wedding, The Mountain vs The Viper, "Hold the door," etc. To say that GoT is only popular because of sex and nudity is objectively stupid. And to say GoT took several seasons to become popular is equally stupid. You clearly just have issues with sex and nudity and are projecting your weird issues onto the show and it's viewers.

Indeed. The fan insanity due to the ending of previous season was not because of a sex scene...

The best scenes are so good, they drag us reluctantly through their overly graphic and gratuitous scenes. It's a form of torture. So yes, GoT isn't popular BECAUSE of the nudity and sex, but I can't deny their nudity and sex scenes are ridiculous and excessive.

[SKAR]

Just as long as it's good. If there was a movie of ME to be made, Neil blomkamp working with the Russo brothers.

Agreed, the only really necessary ones were Jaime/Cersei and Daenerys/Drogo from the very first episode, but all the other ones serve no purpose, other than getting the viewer off.

Isn't Halo considered a bigger and more "mainstream" franchise than ME?
 
It might work better as a movie, the concepts are more generic in nature, and you don't have to explain Element Zero and
the application into everything, yet somehow it wasn't considered for an actual movie / TV show.

Don't bring this blaspheming in here. Mass Effect > Halo. Tons more likable characters and more interesting story than faceless wonder chief.

Chillex people. Never even played Halo, I only play on PC. Only meant to say that if such a thing was viable, surely it would have been tried before.

And I was only kidding.

[ACika011]

I wonder if it's technically viable. And by technically I mean financially. 

It is, just think about it, a massive sci fi movies with lasers, giant aliens, zombies, space battles, romance, cool guns, super powers etc.

 

Not to mention that almost all ME fans would want to watch it.

 

Now that i think about it im not sure why it hasnt already been made.

hollywood writers or writers in general who happen to go into the industry aren't gamers and don't know of mass effect. The few writers who've tried find it incredibly difficult, as well, and we all have extremely high standards for the Mass Effect movie if it were ever made. With fewer writers available who know about Mass Effect, we have fewer opportunities to meet those standards.

 

Which is why I said we should kidnap some hollywood writers and force them to play.

Being a fan of the source material isn't a prerequisite for a quality film. The best Star Trek movies(II, IV & VI) were directed by a guy who wasn't a fan of Trek and insisted on making changes to the scripts. Meanwhile, JJ Abrams claims to be a huge fan of Star Trek but made generic action movies instead of Trek movies.

I felt star trek was better with Abrams at the helm. I mean come on action is very appealing in this day in age. But the old star trek movies were cool as well. Wrath of Khan arguably the best. The star trek movies of today remind me of mass Effect. Blade Runner and total recall, also cool sci fi movies.

Star Trek movies reminding you of action movies is a bad thing. Abrams does not get Star Trek, and neither do you.

I don't really care about that.

Clearly. You want Star Trek to be anything but Star Trek.

I would dare to say Abrams gets better Star Trek than other stuff he's made.

Then tell me what star trek is supposed to be.

he did an awesome job with star wars.

Well, TFA is definetly a better job than Lost ending, at least I can watch Awakens more than once lol.

It's not that the writers themselves are fans...  what I really mean is no one in the Hollywood industry with access to writers or the kinds of connections to influence writers cares about Mass Effect.

 

Star Trek was so huge, and obviously, it was already a television show - I would think the same talent and people in the television industry overlap with the film industry. So someone grabbed a writer and had them script a Star Trek film. Done.
