Mass Effect VR

I know this is the wrong place to post as there isn't a general topic forum, but how would people feel about a mass effect in VR? I've been watching Half Liffe: Alyx and other VR games and seems like great fun. I understand Mass Effect is primarily a third person game, and with 4 announced, would you be alright with a spin-off VR game?

It seems the potential is there with bionic powers and guns for it to be enjoyable and would be especially good to bring it to PSVR. Your thoughts ceteris paribus in an ideal world?

  • Not gonna lie I've thought about it, the guns and biotics could be really good as you said and the whole mission could be to survive on earth until help arrives. You're a civilian or soldier or whatever sneaking around london while it is occupied by reapers and trying to find supplies for the soldiers. You find imprisoned people and try to help them, after leading them to your hideout the indoctrinated ones report to the reapers and you then have a horde style defense of the base while people evacuate and then you flee yourself. The whole game is a survival game with scary up close moments with husks and brutes and the rachni thingos (i hate horror so id probably be too scared). Then in the 2nd last mission you see the citadel appear in space (would you need binoculars to see it?) and when night comes you see a giant space battle above you and then the transports coming down to land in london. You move with Captain Anderson to help free London from reaper control. Easter egg being that you get to see shephard and/or squad members pass by you or through a window. 

    The entire game wouldnt be a huge story driven thing but that's normal for VR right? pretty sure they are more about the experience, the environment and the combat than anything else.

    If i'm being honest I'd love it on console cause I dont wanna setup VR for pc but since Xbox hasnt got a VR (get on that please microsoft) i'd have to go get PSVR.

  • I've been giving this a lot of thought and THIS is the one game I NEED for VR. BUT it has to be entirely built exclusively for VR for the full effect with only VR controls - no keyboard, mouse, or gamepads. I want to use all the guns as if I was there and feel everything. I would love even just a teaser...think about it....the Normandy with the full crew on board in different areas of the ship so you can walk around and have discussions with them. I would LOVE to see what a character like Urdnot Wrex looks like in VR and stand face-to-face with him.

    And use bionic powers as well! Ohhhhh....amazing. Needs to feel like the full game just like how Half-Life: Alyx did it for the Half-Life universe. I would buy this in a HEARTBEAT!

  • I like the idea a lot, you can also add a what happened in the Citadel when it was moved, or how oes it felt to be captured by the Collectors or, or man there are so many possibilities.
