What Star trek can learn from the Mass Effect formula

Ashley writes "Even by now, still close to the launch window, numerous bugs in animation have been well documented, T-poses and dead eyes being at the forefront. However, rather than really delving too much into the problems of Mass Effect: Andromeda, I want to talk about the bright aspects of not only the game but also the general Mass Effect formula and how I feel its structured gameplay could be applied with great success to another sci-fi IP – Star Trek."

A fully fledged triple A Star Trek adventure could make for a great RPG

Yep. Though Andromeda reminds me of Star Trek and it's why it's so good. You actually feel like an explorer of a new galaxy.

I'd like to see a game based on the original series, but with a different ship and crew. Without Kirk, Spock and co. it probably wouldn't be as popular though.

gangsta_red3341d ago

I would love to see Kirk and crew in a full fledged RPG. And i would want the setting to be exactly like how it was in the 60's show but to be treated serious like the show.

Horseygamer3341d ago

i think mass effect would make a great TV series

morganfell3341d ago

Love Star Trek. I worked on a game over a decade ago and it is still my favorite. Still looks great on a modern system.

Really great story, and fits the canon to a Tee.

Derceto3341d ago

Now flip the title. What Mass Effect can learn from the Star Trek formula. It's far more expansive.

I refer of course, to Rodenberry's Star Trek. Not this cinematic diarrhea by Abrams.

While Mass Effect: Andromeda was let in several key areas, one of its approaches to romances is something Mass Effect 4 should consider revisiting.

I hope Mass Effect 4 ignores the inferior prequels and instead closely follows the far superior Mass Effect: Andromeda and Dragon Age Inquisition.

anast498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

Mass Effect 4 should just make Mass Effect 1 but better with current tech. Fans would be happy. As far as romance, they should take notes from the Witcher and Cyberpunk.

Later Bioware games have to little build up. You can have a normal conversation and all of a sudden BAM! The character you talk to becomes super flirty.

TricksterArrow498d ago

Reminds me of Baldur’s Gate. I wanted to practice some magic and Gale made it super weird. Not even gonna mention Astarion.

gold_drake498d ago (Edited 498d ago )

iii dunno about that.

the only really great and funny dating partner, is that outlaw guy anyways haha he was funny as hell.

other than that, i found every character to be very annoying.

Shout out to Keri the Asari reporter. Current relationship status be damned as she's game either way. Anything for a good story. 🤣

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast540d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine540d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast540d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman540d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast539d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman539d ago
