Episode 1: EDEN PRIME (Mass Effect 1 - Cinematic TV Series)

Ойындар

"Commander Shepard, an elite soldier and war hero of the Systems Alliance, is thrust into the heart of an interstellar crisis when a distress signal from the colony of Eden Prime reveals a new and terrifying threat. Aboard the state-of-the-art stealth frigate SSV Normandy, Shepard and crew embark on a mission that uncovers a vast conspiracy with galaxy-wide implications."
Get ready to [re]experience MASS EFFECT in a new way. With features such as no HUD or convo wheel, new custom cutscenes, and mods to enhance the game, this multi-part series is created to bring you Mass Effect 1 (Legendary Edition) as if it were made for TV. The goal with this project is to make the viewer forget they are watching a video game, and provide you with a cinematic experience similar to what you would find on Prime Video, HBO, or Disney+ (despite it not being live-action).
ABOUT THE PROJECT: I have a huge passion for the Mass Effect games, and always wished there was a way for others to experience the story without playing the games. This series has taken hundreds of hours of dedication so far (in-game recording and production) but I am hoping to continue into Mass Effect 2 and 3 in the future once this first season is complete. The missions the crew go on are ordered in a way that will help the flow of the game, and introduce viewers to crucial elements that I plan to include in the sequels.
In order to structure this non-linear game like a TV series with different character's perspectives, branching storylines, and to keep things interesting for new and experiences players alike, I made some creative choices throughout the game that are not necessarily canon to the trilogy. This includes custom scenes showing characters interacting with each other, some characters completing story elements that are usually exclusive to Shepard, and more. I wanted this world to feel as alive as possible, not just through Shepard's eyes. These are all features built into the 2nd and 3rd games, but were rarely shown in ME1. I hope you will still find joy with these changes, as I still wish it to be as faithful to the source material as possible, but adding fun and unexpected twists here and there ;). This means you may not prefer the mission order, the romance choices, or even Shepard's hair, but I'm hoping these details can be overlooked to enjoy the ride. Mass Effect 1 is my favourite game of all time, and I hope it shows.
FINAL NOTE: This series is meant to be as SPOILER FREE as possible, created with the mindset that no one has heard of Mass Effect before, or played any games, so I will personally be avoiding answering any questions about major decisions in the comments. But please, keep the engagement coming and discuss amongst yourselves! Cheers!

    This was awesome! Really like how you handled some of the more “gamey” aspects of the story. I really like a lot of the exposition dumps being moved to other characters. Hope you keep this up. This must have taken a lot of effort also don’t be discouraged by low view count.

    Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it. I tried hard to make it focused on more than just Shepard 100% of the time. Episode 2 has some really creative changes that took a long time to organize, so hopefully you'll be back next Friday!

    Fantastic. Trully good job, this. I watched it with real pleasure. I've seen somone here critiquing your intro, as being too much,or too spoilery for people who don't know the ME universe. I disagree. I wouln't worry about new audience and people who never played ME in their life. Firstly, this is not made for them. Chances are that they won't end up on this channel anyway. For those that acctually do, well the episode either grips them or not, but rather on merit of whats in it, and not by flashy intro. If they like what they see, they will keep watching , and maybe even play games. If not, bye bye. Oh as for those with attention span of golden fish, who can be reel in only by flashy intro and action flick of constant lasr battle, who cares about them? You loose their attention as quickly as you get it. They wouln'd appreciate if this was made in Hollywood with budget of millions and some stellar cast too. They would just get bored. No reason to cater for that audience. Why do I say that? Because this philosopy of holding hands of newcomers was applied to games. Worrying about accesibility of the game for new players was an axcuse used by EA to pressure Biowere to dumb down ME3 "so it would attract new generation" of youngsters who couln't be bothered to play ME1 and 2, but wanted to start right in the middle of the end. Predictably this approach left real fans angry an dissapointed, while new players weren't all that thrilled with rather midiocre game. Those who got hooked and become fans anyway, ended up playing ME1 and 2 after that anyway. Then they joined army of dissapointed fans demanding better ending and wondering how good ME3 would have been if only EA kept their greedy paws off it. So keep up good work, do it as you envisoned it. For us, fans of ME this is good enough.

    There's an easy explanation for that! I've been obsessed with finding a good Mass Effect series for a long time, and once I started getting into the process, I came across yours and it blew me away with how excellent the quality was! You honestly single-handedly pushed me to put in extra effort right from the start (I almost gave up before starting because I thought I could never compete with your quality, but I'm glad I did because it's been such a fun experience 😅). So yes, your videos had a BIG influence on how mine turned out as well, but I'm hoping I wasn't too much of a copycat in future episodes! haha

    So I'm about a 1 minute and a half in and I gotta say the intro betrays your intent in a big way. It's very much made for fans who already know the story and want to see some kind of fan video kind of thing. Mishmashing stuff from ME2 and ME3 and showing a bunch of fan favorite shots in the very first minute of the show is the oddest way of presenting a series for a first timer I've ever seen. ME1 was gradual in it's presentation of aliens and what or who they were. This intro is basically "here's a bunch of 'em all at once!" To be clear I don't think it's bad, it's actually a pretty cool quick music video type thing that's very well made, but yeah when you say "This series is meant to be as *SPOILER FREE* as possible" but you have THAT as your intro... well sorry you gave a bunch already. Just wanted to leave this comment here before I check out the rest of the vid.

    Ah, I admit it is one of the first parts of the series I made, so it might have been completed under a different mindset. I really still don't believe it gives much away under under the assumption these clips have little to no context for a first time viewer, but still gives just enough away to see what the show might be about/generate excitement! However, I see where you're coming from. Thanks for the feedback!
