[QUOTE=FluD;34832122]Anybody know? will there be a Mass Effect movie, or me dreamed it[/QUOTE] It was announced 2 years ago that Legendary pictures got the rights for it, but as of now it has mostly been hush hush, i'd still in pre-production I think.
[QUOTE=FluD;34832122]Anybody know? will there be a Mass Effect movie, or me dreamed it[/QUOTE] There was one about the First Contact War being made, but I haven't heard any news on it for a while. There's also a fan film with Mark Meer in it that's either out now or will be very soon. Plus a lot of other short fan films with quite high production values. They normally turn out slightly silly or crappy, but that's just me.

[quote]Q: Will it just be an adaptation of the first game, second game, or a completely new story? A: It will focus on Commander Shepard’s journey, centering around the story of the original Mass Effect game. Q: How are you going to address the element of ‘choice’ that the players have in the game? A: The writer is weaving a path through Shepard’s decisions that best supports the narrative of the movie and the motivations of its characters. Q: Will it be a trilogy? A: We are really focused on making this a great movie, so we’ll see where it takes us. We have to get the first one right to know whether there will be more. Q: Will Seth Green portray Joker, the character he voiced in the game? A: No casting decisions have been made yet. Q: Will the movie be focused on Shepard? A: Yes. Q: If the movie is focused on Shepard, will it be the male Shepard or the female Shepard? A: Male. Q: Can you give any hints to potential casting? A: No. Stay tuned. Q: Will BioWare allow plot / character changes? A: Yes, we are working closely with BioWare on the development of this project. Q: Would you consider Daft Punk to do the soundtrack? A: We love Daft Punk, but it’s too early to say who will produce the soundtrack.[/quote]
[QUOTE=krakadict;34832175]ughhh what..didn't they say the the protheans was a group of races that called their selfs protheans?[/QUOTE] That's what Mass Effect 3 says, thus already retconned to no end, and they made the [sp]Protheans look like collectors, which is mind boggling bullshit. The visions show creatures with face tentacles. So do the statues on Ilos. Mac Walters must know it because he was always 2nd in Command of the writing team, working with the mastermind Drew Karpyshyn. Collectors are not Protheans anymore, just to a tiny fraction. Mordin says the changes were dramatically big. They share nothing in common but a few DNA fragments.[/sp]
[QUOTE=krakadict;34832175]ughhh what..didn't they say the the protheans was a group of races that called their selfs protheans?[/QUOTE] Nope, that was in the leak.
Maybe it's that the "pure" Protheans were Protheans as a species, and the races who yielded to the Prothean Empire were considered "Prothean" as a nationality?
[QUOTE=ironman17;34832201]Maybe it's that the "pure" Protheans were Protheans as a species, and the races who yielded to the Prothean Empire were considered "Prothean" as a nationality?[/QUOTE] Where are you trying to get here? I mean basically you just advocate Bioware and justify what they did. There is no need for us to fix their plotholes. They messed up, I can get over it by time, but I don't want them to be able to cover it up. That simply ain't happening.
I have to say from the demo that me3 is Jennifer Hale's best performance so far. She still lacks in emotion though. And you guys were right, a team of 4 Drell vanguards rapes everything. Especially when we all try to charge the same target at the same time.
[QUOTE=mercurius;34832221]Where are you trying to get here? I mean basically you just advocate Bioware and justify what they did.[/QUOTE] That's wasn't what I intended; I was still under the impression that they weren't going to screw this up, that's all.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zWOu6.png[/IMG] I have to point this out again, because yesterday it kinda vanished in the turmoil. How dare they to have the audacity lying to us so blatantly? "From Ashes" was deliberately cut from the game, it wasn't made by a different team when the game was finished. No, it was already in the leak, not the mission itself, but the whole [sp]Prothean[/sp] squadmate banter, dialogues and tiny backstory and it's south-african voice which is in the AFC-sound-files since the November leak and became recently accessible due to releases of updated extraction tools. They didn't even bother removing these sounds from the demo. It's absurd, it's in the demo even the models and sounds, but it's cut from the full version! You have to buy it, yet it is locked in the free demo. If you get my anger over EA's greed you may understand me. Bioware is probably innocent. Remember they are no independent company anymore since 2007, they are completely EA's property and EA's pimphand sure is strong. The [sp]Prothean[/sp] would have been an awesome chance to explain lots of questions about the story of the universe the reapers and artifacts or beacons, yet they dump this chance. He knows nothing, he can't help you in the main story, just another Kasumi.

Well, we could all make a stand and not buy ME3, in protest of Day 1 DLC bullshit which I hate more than anything. It's the biggest Scam since DRM. But that shit ain't gonna happen

But that shit ain't gonna happen[/QUOTE] Just buying the game and not buying any DLC would be fine IMO. I vote for what I support with my wallet. I support ME3, but I don't support the bullshit they're doing. So I got the game but won't be getting any DLC.

[QUOTE=mercurius;34832385]The core game wasn't finished back in November 2011 when cutscenes still had developer textures in the leak. Shuttles in the movies had pink and green textures. Placeholders. They said they will fix the plot to damage control, they said the core game isn't finished, yet the [sp]Prothean[/sp] was completely in the leak. Thus it was finished before the core game was and their argument is invalid. I know it because I extracted all demos. From the private beta, over the public one and the pc demo as well. All platforms except PS3. [editline]23rd February 2012[/editline] I know my shit.[/QUOTE] Except you know, different people work on different things. You really think that the writers are going to sit on their ass after writing all the dialogue for months on end playing games when they can start working on more content? You think that the people who record the dialogue for what those writers write are going to do the same?
I don't mind Day 1 DLC if it comes in the form of cosmetics. We all know why it's there, and some people kind of like looking a bit different if it can be used online But Near Plot critical content that was finished many months ago? Jesus Christ, who made that decision Hey guys, I finished the last Harry Potter book! It Costs $20. But the last chapter is an extra $3
[QUOTE=EcksDee;34832418]Just buying the game and not buying any DLC would be fine IMO. I vote for what I support with my wallet. I support ME3, but I don't support the bullshit they're doing. So I got the game but won't be getting any DLC.[/QUOTE] I did the same with ME2, but then I decided to give the DLCs a shot and they're actually quite good (only the plot ones though, the cosmetic ones can go fuck themselves) but they aren't worth THAT much, they seem like left overs, just like "Oh, we didn't add that, what about a DLC?" and /or "Oh gee they will 100% sure buy this shit! Add it asap!" so I'm not buying any of them in ME3 since ME3 supposedly finishes the story.
