Mass Effect MMO?

What are ppl's feeling on a MMO after the the 3rd game comes out? I think the potential is there. They are lots of races, classes and and a huge galaxy to play with. I know Bioware are doing the The Old Republic and it would be very similar but I don't the Mass Effect story to just end after the 3rd game.

What would be the story? All of the races (for the most part) are allied... The Reapers will be defeated in the 3rd game...? What will the story encompass? A peaceful galaxy of coexistance and trade between the species?

The MAss Effect universe is perfect for a MMO, its basically a better Star Trek!

The problem is that the game mechanic cant work in multiplayer...shame though.

Raxzor

Aren't both made by BioWare? TOR and ME series?

What is the point in making two MMO's that are taking place in future? Also StarWars has a larger audience.

Oh god, please no.

man, that will be an awful idea...but again, EA is in charge of Bioware, who woulndt see that coming?

This would make one of the more plausible ideas for an MMO.

Hell no Mass Effect is one of the best if not the best new IPs this generation. Do not screw up Mass Effect by turning it into a lame MMO.millerlight89

i cant see it, maybe when the 360 gets some real mmos but not now. kotor should be plenty awesome enough, not held back by xbox live and the 360 either.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="dakan45"]Hmm, lets see, i got zero interesnt on the story, the dialogues and the gameplay. My big complain is that while i like the setting and visuals the planets are small, very small. So i would most definetly play a mass effect mmo with big maps, mmo combat and no story.dakan45

You are joking right? There is a TON of story in Mass Effect 1+2. Just because you can't pay attention, doesn't mean there wasn't any.

Please no. Just please no. I wouldnt make a Borderlands mmo, a game based around shooting and the flavor of the universe, not story. But ME2 is about primarily story and characters, NO MMO PLEEEASE

[QUOTE="dakan45"][QUOTE="FelipeInside"] If you take away the great story, dialogue and gameplay...then I think it isn't Mass Effect anymore, lol.... What did you not like about the story? I loved it and the dialogue. I guess you're not into RPG style stories, you just want Action action ACTION !!!morrowindnic

The story was wea in comparison with other great stories and the plot twists were weak or even non existant. Basicly i found the story generic and weak. Like they developed the story as they go without making a script first, so they had to give cheap answers to simple questions and some of them were pretty much lame. Like why Saren is against the council.

Spoilers:

Because he is brainwashed by a spaceship ai that is a race that has destroyed everything many times ago Sureeeeeee, thats the perfect scheme to destroy a villian's greatness and a pretty weak unthought answer to the question "what the hell is going on"

end of spoilers.

Maybe thats just me, i wont argue about it any further, but lets just say i have higher standards in story. For example right now i am enjoying a tv series called fringe with very good script and presantation and it has cluses in the episodes that let you make some guesses of how the story will progress, without picking a character and make him tell you the entire history like it happens with the prothean ai just to fill in for the lack of info till that point instead it evolves as you watch. (The protheai ai was so damn borring to sit and listen, add some cutscenes instead damn it)

The Old Republic has some clear elements that ME doesn't that would help it in the mmo market.

Star Wars is a vast story spanning longer than most stories period, literally thousands of years. Plus a fan base that would literally blow your mind. Star Wars 1979 and it came out big too, (and ever growing since.)

ME has been out only a few years. (but I loved the first, haven'tplayed the second) and I would be interested in, but hear me out.

ME is a great game don't get me wrong, but ME being an mmo, wouldn't have near the chance of TOR, and we don't even know if TOR is going to be crappy or great (sure we have our hopes.) My point is lets see how TOR does, with all its advantages and setting/theme/potential, before we even worry with ME MMO.

Now if we lived in a society that allowed great games to be made and put out regardless of Sales/profit/bring in.... This game would be great, (along with many other concepts and aspiring developers that can't afford to "make it." But unfortunately we haven't evolved the system enough for this to be possible, without some sort of lasting "repercussion."

It could work you know, if they set it during the First Contact War. Or if they're comfortable with not including humans in the game, during the Rachni Wars and the Krogan Rebellions.

It's not impossible, lol. It'd be easy actually to make a mass effect MMO. The planets are still a bit barren but add some more lore like they did to WoW and you'll have a mass effect mmo with combat and background story...

The Mass Effect trilogy revolves around Commander Shepard and his/her exploits. It doesn't make sense to make an MMO.the_ChEeSe_mAn2

I don't deny that EA could find a way to make it work (for them), but I personally would not be interested in such MMO. I like Mass Effect games for their single player and how the storylines revolve around Shepard and his crew. When you plug in hundreds of thousands of wannabe Shepards into a gameworld simultaneously...it just feels weird and disconcerting. the_ChEeSe_mAn2

Hell Yes! As long as it wasn't watered down. I would like to see an SWG style mmo with customized player created items and cool pvp gun battles.

If its just more of the same kiddie mmo's then hell no.

Unless TOR fails miserably or the MMO market triples overnight, another sci-fi based MMO from Bioware wouldn't make sense for atleast another 10-15 years.

Wont happen.

I would say about 5-7 years after TOR launches would be fine to have bioware start on a new space-opera MMO.
