Kaftan Barlast Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I think it's pretty obvious that it will be about Anderson, Saren etc. Boring and predictable. The idea of the prequel is the dumbest idea of the century. The question of "what happened after?" is a lot more interesting than "what came before?"

Kaftan Barlast Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Well, nevertheless and off-topic... prequels suck. The only thing worse is a midquel, like The Force Unleashed for example (something that takes place simultaneously as the original). In the prequel, the ending is locked, but in the midquel, the entire story is locked form beginning to end.

Malcador Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 That seems pretty plausible. It'll help flesh out the Mass Effect universe if you get to find out what REALLY happened with Anderson. Etc . Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 yeah prequels all suck ass, the godfather 2 especially. what a piece of garbage. it would have been 10000x better if they had cut out all the scenes with robert deniro. /super extreme sarcasm Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Orogun01 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Or this game could be Dragon Effect with an intergalactic Hawke whose adventures are in no way related to the main story but they still take time to make this game instead of focusing on ME3 Edited November 18, 2010 by Orogun01 I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

It has long flashback segments but the main part of the film is all about Michael And Fredo. I cant think of any actual prequel that was any good.

But until 10 min ago I didnt know it was set prior to the first film, so it doesnt count. In fact, no film released before the term "prequel" was invented in the late ninties counts in my opinion DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

Niten_Ryu Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 The idea of the prequel is the dumbest idea of the century. The question of "what happened after?" is a lot more interesting than "what came before?" I have to disagree with this. History is interesting because it allow us to know more about the present. What events lead to this point. Often it's more interesting then "what happend after". Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.

Calax Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I've not played ME, but the guys who have ID'd the weapon as being from the ME universe. So, unless they're recycling art assets for a new IP (extremely unlikely) then I suspect it's ME-themed. Actually, despite my animus towards McBio, I think (seriously) they'd make a pretty good MP / MMO type game out of Mass Effect even if it did turn into a wierd emo space-opera-dating-site type affair. Here's the gun in question: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Incisor There's similarities, but it's a pretty generic sniper rifle, so it could just be incidental... The honeycomb pattern on the armor is about as distinctive, so we have two possible visual cues relating to ME(2). I'm not really convinced, could go either way (ME spin-off, new IP). I thought it looked more like the generic ones from the first game. Compare. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Tigranes Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I don't know a gun from a cannon, but it just looks like your any old scoped rifle, doesn't it? I'm much more intrigued/amused by the mix of gritty grit and, well, Tunnel Snakes hair.

Hell Kitty Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Maybe it's a prequel about the exploits of Captain Anderson/Admiral Hackett in their younger years? If the game lets me play as Lance Henriksen then it is the greatest game in the history of the universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblarg Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 According to the description the Incisor is a relatively recent weapon, so I have a hard time believing it'll be a prequel.
