Respawn Entertainment is focusing wholly on Apex Legends, the free to play battle royale set in the Titanfall universe (but lacks titans) to the point of neglecting the rampant hacking that has crippled Titanfall and Titanfall 2 multiplayer. Titanfall Apex Legends may be the hot game on the block, but we want more Titans. Many people who haven't actually immersed themselves in the Metal Gear franchise sort of assume it stops at "wow cool robot", but there is much more at play here - and there are plenty of events in the history of Metal Gear's world that would warrant their own show. The incredibly convoluted plot and backstory spanning decades and about a dozen global conspiracies has always cut deeper into the theme of politics than most other games would dare to.

While the split between Kojima and Konami has left the rights to Metal Gear with the latter - and all they managed to do with it is make a crappy survival game with crystal-zombies in it - we dream of seeing what the auteur himself would have cooked up if given the chance to create an MG series for Netflix. This references some of the notoriously long cutscenes seen in Metal Gear games, where the plot is propelled without any input from the player. Metal Gear Conspiracies, eccentric characters and huge robots - what more would you need?Ī common comment often seem in discussions about Metal Gear, though often said jokingly, is that if Hideo Kojima really wants to make a movie, he should just make a movie. While Dragon Age has a lot of past history that could be explored in a Netflix series, simply giving us more insight into the lives of its hunted mages would be a perfect basis of a story as well. Lyrium is also a valuable commodity, not without its dangers. The way Dragon Age approaches mages and the use of magic is one of its most unique aspects, which keeps returning in the story as a relevant plot point, and most of the major events affecting the world in general are somehow tied to it. It's got magic, it's got dragons, it's got encroaching sort-of-undead swarm enemies, it's got a dedicated order opposing said enemies, the Orlesian nobility loves playing political intrigue so much that they incorporated it into their culture as "The Game" - it's got all the elements, and arguably a more interesting world to boot.

Even so, the continent of Thedas and the world beyond has thousands and thousands of year of rich history full of disasters, magic, political conniving and wars.Īrguably the way it ended makes Game of Thrones a poor act to follow, but it cannot be denied how widespread its success was at its height, and in that regard a Dragon Age series could be the "next Game of Thrones". Dragon Age Throughout the Dragon Age games we keep hearing about ancient history - how about we get to see it instead?Īnother BioWare property that just begs for further exploration, Dragon Age has gone on a bit of hiatus, but the fourth game in the series has been officially acknowledged and will soon™ take us on new adventures to Tevinter. A Netflix series exploring the First Contact War between the Humans and Turians would be an interesting take - or perhaps one that focused on the 5 year gap between the first two games.Īnything would be better than a straight adaptation of any of the games, and with a fictional universe this complex and deep, we'd love to take a dive back into Mass Effect with a series. Meanwhile, even just the first game had established a deep lore and history for the galaxy it was set in, which has only deepened with subsequent games - there is a ton of material that could be adapted or expanded upon without trampling all over the main storyline. A movie, by its nature, would have stripped the source material of absolutely everything that made fans fall in love with it.
As we all know, the Mass Effect trilogy is a branching RPG revolving around our custom Commander Shepard as their choices and decisions define the future of the galaxy, while developing friendships, rivalries and relationships with a huge cast of cool aliens.

Recently, BioWare lead writer Mac Walters spoke to Business Insider about this, and how the main difficulty was the inability of the talent on board to wrangle the story into a movie format.īafflingly, Legendary intended to adapt the first Mass Effect game. Rights for a Mass Effect movie were bought by Legendary Pictures way back in 2010, but over a decade later nothing has come of the project. Mass Effect Commander Shepard and the Ryder siblings aren't the only characters in Mass Effect with stories to tell.
