Mass Effect: Remnants Episode 1 (Mass Effect 2 Machinima)

[gg09701]

What time was supposed to take place? Hate to be a geek, but the Liberation of Shanxi was like 30 years before when the first Mass Effect took place. For that to be his daughter and that old, and him having been in command of a ship during the liberation, he has to be at least in his late 60s. Unless it's from before the first Mass Effect.

Good vid anyway, too little action though.

[Damionscool]

BLINK>>BLINK>>>>BLINNNNKKKKKKK­K

[GivenForver]

ahh face animation!!!!!! 

[LordKorloros]

The only characters that DON'T get on my nerves are the Krogan, Asari, and the Solarian. The 2 humans are just assholes.

[NickMaloney92]

I thought this was going to be better. I know it's a machinima and that most vids aren't really professional per se, but this seemed rush and not too well done. The VA wasn't really believable and was actually annoying with the exception of the Krogan, the animations were pretty bad, they messed up at least 2 or 3 word pronunciations from the lore, and just kind of ruined it for me. I don't mean to be a negative Nick or anything. Hopefully the second part will be better.

[bddblade]

lol it's a young miranda.

[269cypher]

I feel like i'm watching garry's mod films or something...could use some smoothing around the animations and making it look more realistic like the actual game

[JHERO317]

I love the song at the end so much

[kendu504]

It was nice work. It definitely defines a Mass Effect title. but it needs a lot of polishing.

[blackboy55465]

he was thinking: how could i forget the medigel!!!!!!

[Motion63O]

Would be cool to have a Halo-Mass Effect Crossover using this style of Machinima.

[spiderboy43]

@Motion63O I would so watch that.

[irishcrixus]

The way the characters act and move in this is pretty sucky

[CadyMoriarty]

@Arcadia My exact thoughts...

[Arcadia117]

i tried to like it but it failed :/ put more effort in in

[storey981]

I love the video but the one problem I had was the asari's eyes they were to big for my liking but other than that it was great

[OxYcOd0n3]

I'm commander Shepard and this is my favorite Machinima on Youtube

[holty1234567890]

no 1 else had done a mass efffect machinimi or at least not 1 as gd as this so people shouldnt judge so quickly on its apparence, it'll get betteras it goes along

[GOGTOXIC]

I really liked it, but it just felt unfinished toe, with the audio skips and animation problems. Hopefully episode 2 fixes these.

[MustangGT691]

Intresting story but it was just painful to watch sorry

[ziharkthehated]

might get better

[xKaiLua]

Yeah, I love that finally Somebody took on such a Complex game and tried to make it into a Machinima. It's obvious that they did their best with it. I like how Ally looks like Miranda's daughter, ha.

[jtmcbath]

I liked how the voice acting was wooden and bad, but this could be reworked into a sitcom kinda how the movie "The Room" went from a serious drama to a comedy.

[SonOfCallaugh]

@jtmcbath I disagree. There are far too many comedies on you tube. I want to see a serious story that stays that way to the end.

[MrRudiMentary]

How was this made?

[Schism704]

just hope it doesnt end for no reason in the middle of the story like "wardens fall" did

[MrPooshter]

Hey guys (creator here), just letting you know that Episode 2 is in the works with entirely new facial animation system is in place, and while I made 90% of these animations myself, episode 2 will primarily use animations from the game.

[BeefSupreme101]

@MrPooshter when will the episode come out

[SonOfCallaugh]

@MrPooshter Looking forward to see what comes next.

[stonedfilmer]

@MrPooshter Great to hear. The story is quite interesting.

[Anarchist86ed]

@MrPooshter Well done! Sad it's so buried under garbage. I know the feeling...

[HaZZmatDefender]

@MrPooshter i wish kooterz(Kootra) would finish reprisal

[udaho456]

Acting wise, this is pretty good. Story wise this is quite interesting. But the animation needs some work. It would probably help if the facial animations were more elaborate and if there were more gesticulations while they're talking. Although I understand if that's just hard to pull off.

[Rinaldimanc]

This is still good I don't care about the animations anymore

because the dialogues and the script itself is well made

good job

and don't listen to these haters keep making this series.

[Ghats212]

I can tell that the people in this took so many acting lessons. They are the perfect actors. They sucked me into the illusion!

[awesomegamedude8]

I love the piano music at the beginning

[Silverthumb]

The bland VA's are more noticeable to me than the PS2 animation.

[sebob123]

Wow. This was pretty good.

[Dune1884]

oh. a video on the machinima channel that isn't a gameplay video! NICE JOB MACHINIMA!

[hattrickster33]

Uhh just stick to Halo machinima's if you even think about making another episode. THIS SUCKS!! Only good thing is that its ME.

[HarmlessCRUNCH]

Well that...sucked. I wish there was some decent ME machinima.

[mitchmazda6]

How is this made?

[TheJpape]

@mitchmazda6 Probably using UDK, Unreal Development Kit, it's basically what game developers use to make games. But it can also be used to create machinima.

[mitchmazda6]

@TheJpape Thank you, that is helpful =)

[DarkLexx]

a light year is a measure of distance not time good sir! sorry but thats the nerd in me poking out XD

[FirstLineIn]

@DarkLexx Hey. (writer here) You are absolutely right- I intended for the light year to be understood as a measure of distance. Here's a rewording of the line in question.

"Well, Mr. Happy is waiting for me and it would absolutely ruin the next leg of my trip if I knew I tarnished his famously good mood with my lateness."

[loverofcookies117]

well done i really enjoyed it

[blootoon4]

What can i say?

[LeShorte]

Yeah, the animation isn't the best... nor the voice acting, but... it's far better than the CoD machinimas we get...

[Kronosphere100]

@LeShorte I agree. It isn't the best, but making machinima with UDK is not the easiest thing to do either. At least the creator made an effort to make this, and came out with a decent episode. So, great job to you MrPooshter!

[SirRevso]

@stormtrooper789 Thats alright :D

[digunder14]

faces need work

[SnoochyB]

Almost sounds like the 2 girls 1 cup piano in the beginning

[thuzan117]

not many machinimas made in mass effect, i approve. little rough around the edges but it's a new medium and it has more potential in some ways than the more popular games used for machinima. keep em coming.

[Merrik11]

My main issue is the voice acting. Im no professional but I think it could be betyer.

[benxr2006]

thats impressive

[Trials77546]

Good editing

[liberate29]

That could be an interesting premise for a new Mass Effect game once the trilogy is done.

[Hobbittio]

Lol, i've seen Kootra done way better machinima's with less story and less props.

[MrLAG95]

This is good. A little stiff at times, but really good. Far better than what I could possibly do

[thedeadsexyedge]

it wasnt bad, though i think most of the animations are done by the person

[randomonium5]

Sooo another series you wont finish ?..?

[RavenousSpectre]

fix the animations and i think this would be set

[GamerLad117]

Where did that "space-stick" come from?

[SONRAIHBOY]

Please tell me this was not made with UDK. Cos bad animation.

[WilliamBandet]

if someone would do something about fixing sine human face movement other then lip flaps this could be a lot better

[PREPLIN2productions]

How could they mis-pronounce so many names... but other than that this was decent

[andy085773]

is it so hard to get a good voice actress

[TheDarklord0211]

"Realy, i get the stick?"

Thats what my gf said after hours of begging me for.. you know what :p

[santillica]

what happen to the video's what is that reproductor

[SirRevso]

@stormtrooper789 No you mistaken me from what I mean, its the way they say it lol, its said like SOL, not SUL, even though its spelt like Salarian, or even so, I do myself say SAL instead of SOL sometimes :P

[ItsChris692]

I bet they were inspired to do this by xcalizorz' playthrough.

[Frooglar]

I wince everytime you guys say "Sal-larian"

[XyleJKH]

wonder how they missed that? The whole light year thing

[ralphanator4]

This is a great Machinima good job!!

[babtothebone]

New video player?!?

[ralphanator4]

I clicked on video thinking it was made my Kootra :(

[Midkupz]

also, there's no sound in space ¬¬ like to they can see :)

[TheBlueMarth]

WHAT AMAZING FACIAL TECHNOLOGY

[RomanticGames94]

im not a troll but this sucks....

[deathdragonsoul]

love to see more

[Reed1788]

i just wanna critique you honestly. im not trying to be mean. even adding some head movement during conversations would be a step up. also the audio fades out at times

[Paintchk218]

Not a bad effort for a Machinima. Plus its not COD :D

[MrTheCODbeast]

Comment removed

[zark474]

Serious captain is serious....2:36 - 2:50 that face...

[Shalassaska]

I really do want to like it, cause I like everything mass effect-related.

But the stiff animations and strangeness like the arm at 5min in. is totally what throws me off the enjoyment.

I get the feeling that this could be done better or worked around the issues.

Interesting story, but it just looks aweful.

[M4Nt1sP]

@Shalassaska You can do better?

[Shalassaska]

@M4Nt1sP That isn't my point. I am not a filmmaker/machinamaist. But that doesn't mean I have to like everything I see. But I know what Kootra or more broadly people in general can make, so I do have a standard of quality.

[Reed1788]

voice acting isnt the best. characters are too rigid. and im not sure about the idea of a salarian cult. but this is a good attempt. i just

[SirRevso]

Why do they say SULarian, its SOLarian, god damnit lol

[decusq]

if the animations and the voice acting improve i think it could be interesting down the line

[MAXIMUMamac]

Seriously, don't care about the little problems, making THIS with ME2 must be torture!

[SirRevso]

Jacobs now white!

[Fairfieldfencer]

There are problems with this, admittedly, but it's still a damn good effort.

[HelloChief117]

That's some stiff animations.

[Malkion009]

ppl is machinima not Bioware so stop ! crying !

[Rumige]

the voice acting isnt the greatest but it is the first ep. i guess i can let it slide.

[robertghouston]

@Rumige i thought the voice acting was quality - it was the animations, especially the lip-syncing, that was iffy. Anyway, this machinima is good stuff!

[ARMENIAKB24]

Hey Everyone Visit My Channel For News, Updates, gameplays, Strategies, Glitches & More

[treyboog94]

@ARMENIAKB24 But THIS channel has news, updates, gameplays, Strategies, Glitches & More. What more do you have to offer!?

[RogueCrockett]

a solarian is a solarian is a solarian is a solarian there does that help!!:???!!!??!

[MrCole121]

@RogueCrockett its salarian

[RogueCrockett]

@MrCole121 I don't care lol but thanks for the spell check is this better a salarian is a salarian is a salarian is a salarian are we good now?? XD

[omnomJAZZPAH]

the voice acting in this is worse than Keanu reeves in speed

[phoenixwarrior100]

Not bad I guess but not so good either.

[takoon513]

i wonder if they ever think of buying one of those suits for motion capture to make this shit look a little better.

[TheKrwlng]

@takoon513 You blame the machinima maker for the animations, not the game?

[Christmasproductions]

lol they don't blink. But it's good. Does anyone know what program is used? The unreal engine or?

[briaproductions]

5:44 what is wrong with his arm?

[MrHazer94]

Nice! Ignore the dislikes they're just butthurt because it's not CoD.

[CliffDiverBOA]

I liked it. Better than most of the other shit Machinima puts up.

[JOHNin3D]

this is complete shit, give me mass effect 3 and we will call it good

[StarFleetCommand3]

Animations are horrible. Does Machinima have quality-control?

[kittyballz]

1:32 in, about the time the started talking ..... WTF?! awful

[nobodyhardyz619]

i thought this was reprisal

:(

[RpgExposition]

Was ALRIGHT. Nothing more.

[McEntro14]

7:46 scary !



[WOOHOJEHA]

Mass effect sucks

[TheKrwlng]

@WOOHOJEHA

I hate Mass Effect.

AM I COOL NOW GUYS?

[acsessive11]

@WOOHOJEHA Fuck you hater...

[blackbounty80]

@WOOHOJEHA fail

[RinstarElite]

@WOOHOJEHA Heh, troll fail. :P

[WOOHOJEHA]

@RinstarElite hehe, I already made somebody else angry so I was successful

[TheKrwlng]

@WOOHOJEHA MMM sure is troll up in here

[snakeeyes119]

voice acting needs work, wasnt really impressed with any of it, but the voice acting made it hard for me to even enjoy the good parts, not bashing the video or anything, just saying it has alot of room to improve.

[GOODBADNAUGHTYWOLF]

A light year is the distance light travels in a year, this was used as a joke in the actual episode

[Finalrellik99]

I love mass effect sooo much but this was stupid

[kietasss]

SHIT

[Alexpro680]

Crap should of been a screenshot of miranda

[IFracturedCinema]

Whahat dislikes :/

[TheVitaltundra]

I thought it was Kootra actually doing a Machinima

[TheKrwlng]

@TheVitaltundra So did I :(

I mean, who else does Mass Effect machinimas other than koots?

At least he does them well, ya know?

[TheMATA1a]

shes got his stick

[tisroc100]

At first I thought it was a return of the kootra machinimas...but I was wrong :(

[lastmanon]

O, I'm so sorey

[lastmanon]

aboataboatabotaboataboataboata­botaboataboataboatabotaboatabo­ataboatabotaboat! Why are there so many canadians on realm?

[TheStormPow]

I don't see why there are so many dislikes. Albeit this isn't the most fantastic work ever, but it's definitely something different and I enjoyed it. Being someone who has toyed around with the UDK I can appreciate how much work had to have been put into these scenes, even if there were a few animation bugs here and there.

Not to mention the voice acting was absolutely fantastic and the cinematography was very creative. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[Canadarules99]

Not too bad. Voice acting needs work of course but it was pretty cool. But one major fail, which i see mentioned in previous comments: I can't believe you guys thought a Lightyear was a measurement of time lol. It's distance; how far light can travel through space in the time of one earth year. (I beleive)

[ScubaS00]

I think that Roosterteeth could do a better job.

[TheJPR91]

wtf have they been smoking? their eyes are crazy dude

[kingt34]

2:42 sound messed uo: He sounded louder when he was further away from the camera, and no effect on his voice? Also: It actually sounded better without the voice-effect: The natural voice was louder and clearer, and minor tweaks in voices are more recognisable.

I know I shouldn't criticize the animation because that is really difficult to do with this, but their faces all look like they're almost in a default position.... would be good to actually get deeper looks at facial expression.

[GiaVenturini]

FAKE AND GAY.

[StraitHalo]

@GiaVenturini lke you are

[gamevidsproductions]

that was horrible, specially the voice acting

[logbul]

Damn koots, what is this, like your 9th machinima series? If u can please finish this one

[TheJpape]

There's a lot of potential but you maybe need to work on the lip-syncing and adding a bit more animation to their facial expressions and body movements, I dunno, they just feel a bit wooden if you know what I mean. I liked the camera-work and the voice acting though. Please make more :)

[nerdVmuffin]

light year is a measure of distance not time ¬¬ like so they can see :)

[AwesomePeow]

@nerdVmuffin I agree, but havn't you heard "It will take lightyears to get there"?

[JeDiSpartaN300]

@nerdVmuffin

i'm sure they did that on purpose as a joke.

[nerdVmuffin]

@JeDiSpartaN300

maybe :) but if not they still get to see right?

[Th3GoldenGam3r]

@nerdVmuffin

REALLY? People don't know that? God,this makes me feel good about myself,and sorry for the world!!

[nerdVmuffin]

@Th3GoldenGam3r

you know can be hard to tell if your being sarcastic or sincere, please enlighten me? :)

[The7guys]

Interesting idea. Things that you could improve on is the dialogue: it's a Mass Effect machinima, so you need to make the speech sound realistic

[MissingMandible]

They look creepy...

[DaZerberus]

good show, but the starting is a little bit boring... please more action

[yoda56789]

Mouth animations need work other than that nice....

[HTSRyan]

People dont seem to understand how tricky is to learn the insides of the Unreal Engine. This is a wonderful job, animations can be a bit clunky, but this requires a lot of job. The story can be improven, but i think this guy deserves a like

*likes*

[tsujen]

A good effort. Try try again!

[TheKrwlng]

KOOTRA? IS THAT YOU!?

[FamousYasserX]

@TheKrwlng nope jordan wasn't in this
