why, just because its a sci-fi show in space? what we need is just good writers

Also The Expanse has a similar complex characters and diplomatic relation system to Mass Effect, so yeah. While I was watching it, I similarly thought these people should make the ME TV series adaptation.
@@Spillow-C there are many similarities.

@@viktortalis3565 Okay so we got the Morbius and Borderlands show producer, the Anthem and Andromeda producer and the writer for Fast & Furious 9. Oh boy. I wonder if this will suck or not. Surely this will turn out great and not into complete and utter garbage.
@@wutumeanb339 something related to the next game wouldn't have been bad. It didn't even have to be something big like another trailer.

I don't think any of those things would've deterred attention from The Veilguard.
Enya, (who wrote the end title song for LOTR: FOTR), wrote an instrumental ‘Shepherd Moons’, which could have lyrics added for this series: “When Shepard moons, you can see his rings of power…”. Might have a mass effect?

Bro I’ve said this before tell a story of a Young Anderson and how he became one of the first N7’s and how he almost became First Human Specter.. I Truly Believe it would “sell like hotcakes!”
For the record, Alec Ryder from Mass Effect Andromeda was one of the first N7's, he graduated from N7 training after being one of the first humans to travel through a mass relay in 2149.
Have to say, this would interest me not at all. And I cannot imagine anyone who is a casual watching a show that isn't about Shepherd. These "protect the canon" arguments fail, because a TV show is an adaptation. Not your game.
nah, the events of the First Contact War are a gimmie. you've got Anderson, Seren, General Williams, AND Jack Harper (the illusive man) all in the same place, facing the same events and taking different lessons and consequences away from it. all events and characters that heavily impact the trilogy, while being a canon "blank spot" where not all that much is known.
@@shawngillogly6873 the problem with adapting Shepard is that Shepard is so customized. and people (with reason) are tremendously protective of THEIR Shep. some are femshep all the way, while others will go to the wall for mshep. either way they cast shepard (male or female) half the fanbase is going to *riot*. and that's not even getting into the backstories. only about 1/18th of the fanbase AT BEST is going to see THEIR shepard on screen. and the rest of the fans are going to be PISSED that THEIR specific shepard isn't "canon". the mass effect books don't cover Shepard and their adventures (either pre or during the events of the trilogy) for a reason, only mentioning them in passing. focusing on Anderson sidesteps those issues, not to mention as a canon black man he ticks "diversity" boxes that people might object to Shepard filling.
They know they're draining money from Veilgard and now they're going to drag Mass Effect down to get some money back before they go under. I don't want to see Mass Effect go down like this bro...
@@WHlSKYtx They once cancelled a Mass Effect movie because they didn't like how it was turning out. Now, they're hiring a Fast & Furious writer for a TV show. That's not a good look, and really shows how desperate they are for money with their constant losses. And Mass Effect has to pay the price.
Happy N7 Day to all of you badass Commanders out there!! This news shakes me a bit, but it is Mass Effect, so color me intrigued. We shall see how it goes...
Yeah, happy N7 day, and don't miss the big announcement. It's huge. Great news: you can now claim the Dragon Age version of a new 500$ merch trenchcoat and a helmet in The Veilguard. And now we wait another year.
@@Nitidus I am already past the fight with Ghi'linain's 2 dragons. I honestly do not see myself replaying the game. Davrin and Asaan are gone. Varric is gone. The game state feels empty to the point where if Elganaan kills off my team, I honestly wouldn't care. Maybe next year when the saviors over on Nexus corrects the many mistakes veilguard has made.
It should follow Anderson. Have a little childhood backstory stuff, then go to him joining Alliance military, then First Contact War, meeting Saren, events up until ME1. It would need probably several seasons, but that would be really cool because we get snippets of his past in the games, but there are plenty of gaps to fill. Maybe even a young Illusive Man could show up (I think he fought in the First Contact War). Having a story that doesn't revolve around the main character of the games might be a hard sell but look at how they tried to retell Geralt's and Master Chief's stories and did a shit job. One thing Fallout excelled at was by not recreating one of the games and instead telling a new story. I hope the Mass Effect show can go that same route but having it in the past would eliminate the problem of making certain in-game choices canon, like how the Prydwen could be destroyed in Fallout 4 but appears in the show.
I kinda wish they'd circle back to the rumored Henry Cavill Mass Effect idea, but he's probably too busy with the Voltron movie, Highlander reboot, and the Warhammer series at Amazon.
The discovery of ancient ruins on Mars, the development of the first Mass Effect drive, all leading to the First Contact war, all that has the makings of a great show…so doubt we’ll be that lucky.
@@Playfu1W1nd Only reason RoP was absolutely ass is not following the source material they had rights for. Imagine making an entire show of like couple pages at the end of the book you had the rights for LMAO. But yeah, if they actually make it good I'll be surprised as Hell, GIVE ME GARRUS FUCKING NOW
@@oliwierwagrowski3176 I’d love them to do a story round the first contact war, I think it could be awesome and it wouldn’t rely as heavily on characters from the games, but it would still be familiar territory narratively speaking. But if they just turn each game into a season of a show it would likely be a disaster.
I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, if they get it right, this could be amazing, and it seems like they have some really good talent associated with it, but the success rate on this is not good. How many good videogame tv shows/movies are there? Like, 3? I still think the best option would be for them to set it during the First Contact War. That way people can get introduced to the characters and the world and there's enough familiar characters like Hackett and Anderson and Saren and Jack Harper and Ashley's granddad and so on, but you're not really interfering with the established lore in the games.
Thing is... Some years ago, I would have probably been tentatively indecisive about the people (especially the writer) involved, but still willing to give at least the benefit of the doubt. Nowadays though, as recent adaptations have been, I'm seeing a list of names that spells most likely a complete disaster. The media entretainement industry as of late as left me pretty disenchanted and cynical. It doesn't help my hopes for the next Mass Effect, how Veilguard turned out to be...
I've been wanting a TV series focused on Anderson around the events of the first contact war for the longest time, but looking at the names involved, I'm not too sure anymore. I think they should just adapt the games to be on the safe side. The script is already there, just don't screw it up.
The story is there with many choices you made as the player. and then they have to make their own choices, so I already foresee lots of complains and negative reviws from fans, no doupt. I would go with prequels.
The only thing that stuck with me was that he had something to do with Daredevil and Punisher series and those two are in my list of the greatest series that I've watched so that's good........i think. Casting and script is the most important for me.
Amazon did good with fallout, I’m hoping they apply the same thinking and formula the ME tv series ……I hope ….and please by the makers panties…..no modern audience pandering! Happy N7 day everyone!
I'm straight up mortified at this news 😐 Mass Effect probably gonna be yet another franchise that I love that I'm gonna have to let go of and forget about. Sickener.
I just hope it doesn't become laughing stock. But hey, they'll have their good and bad moments. What matters is that they're taking time and allocating serious resources this time with ME5 and it will be a very promising comeback regardless.
Fast and furious knows what it is and admittedly does it well. When trying to make something more serious, maybe the writers alright, though it's still an odd choice. My main concern is the name behind borderlands, ghost in the Shell, etc. Amazon has already worked on The Expanse. Giving those creatives the same show was the most obvious idea ever!
I was cautiously excited for a Mass Effect TV series when I heard the rumors, and I'm glad I was skeptical. But who knows, maybe we'll be surprised (in a good way).
If the creatives team actually respects the material and doesn't try to put their own spin on it. I think the series could be good. We just don't have many teams that have been able to really do that.
So far Amazon did deliver with stuff like Fallout of The Expanse, but safer to keep hopes low, since anything related to Bioware recently seems to carry some sort of curse
Until we learn and see more about this project, there's still Battlestar Galactica and The Expanse as the closest to a live action Mass Effect that we'll ever get.
@existentialselkath1264 it also had lots of visual and story elements that straight up reminded me of Mass Effect, sometimes it almost felt like a prequel.
It seems hit or miss with Amazon, sometimes you get great shows like Invincible or Fallout. However, then you also get shows like Rings of Power, Wheel of Time, both beloved IPs that focus on the message rather than telling a good story. So up in the air.
A mutibranching RPG with a high focus on personal customization and choice being adapted into a linear TV show? Perfect format to adapt folks. If it follows the games then they have a huge uphill battle to do. If it just happens to take place in the ME universe with no other connections then I think there could be potential.
yeah stright adaptation sounds like a bad road. I would say not necessarily no connections. there are many side plots not involving shepard and crew. one example would be we never saw challenges of andromeda initiative before lunching to their journey.
Since Mass Effect was the beginning of the end of cRPG at Bioware, starting the shift toward story based action games without actual choices that affect anything, using an illusionary skill system to fake it as a RPG-like... I can see how this makes sense. Good luck!

People behind the "The Expanse" series should run the Mass Effect series, they are set in universes in very similar tones.

Well if 5 or 6 star rated movies (out of 10) are your thing, then sure it'll be 'good'.
It would be amazing if this show came out alongside the next game, and both turned out great. Not confident if it'll happen, but just imagine.
Hey Mr 'Holton'! (according to TH-cam's CC) 💪😸 Low expectations for this show, fo' sho.

This doesn’t make me optimistic lmao.
I don't know how I feel about this either. I'm more in a wait and see what happens.
If the creatives team actually respects the material and doesn't try to put their own spin on it. I think the series could be good.
We just don't have many teams that have been able to really do that.
I have low hopes and having a writer who wrote a Fast and furious movie is not helping things
They should follow the example of the fallout series that Amazon released. If they give it that level of polish, I'll give it a watch.
Sure, cause that’s been working for all the other franchises that are struggling. Right Halo… fingers crossed it’s a more Fallout type.
