Mass Effect Real Time Strategy game MA:RTS what you think? Do it be cool?

I am a huge fan of Real Time Strategy Games so I am all for a mass effect strategy game, and if one was ever made I would so play it and alot

WOW!!!! Nice!!! I really have to check that out! Thank you!

Well there are some mass effect mods for other games out there that might interest people

I personally enjoy playing Dawn of the reapers Mod

Homeworld 2 - Mass effect reborn

Sins of a solar empire rebellion - Dawn of the reapers mod

Star wars empire at war forces of corruption - Mass Effect at war mod

Not an rts but still fun Star Wars battlefront 2 - Mass Effect Unification mod

Sid Meier's Civilization V also has some mods  - Workshop

Men of war Assault squad 2 , still pretty early in development  - Mass Effect Unity Project mod

Stellaris has a few small mass effect mods - Stellaris workshop

Gmod,Minecraft and Space engineers also have Mass effect related stuff too

Mass Effect 3 has a great mod which makes it feel like a new game  - EGM Mod

They would need to create more land vehicles (with Weapons) within the Mass Effect Universe for this to work. I would be all for it.  Maybe they could make it as dlc so we can play a game within a game?

RTS genre is dead for a reason, and I say it as an avid fan and active player of Age of Empires 2.

outspokenbeef15 thank you for list I definitely check it!

Sure dude.

While we're at it, Bioware should also make a Mass Effect themed trading card game. Maybe a first-person shooter as well. Pinball. Rhythm game. Flight Simulation. Cart Racing. Platformer. Horror.

The spin-off potential is almost limitless, really.

I was personally thinking about a space RTS in the vein of Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. with all the traits of ME space combat being worked in the gameplay.

I really love ME and it would sadden me seeing it becoming the next Star Wars in terms on how that franchise is used and abused. I want ME to be popular for it to be profitable but not to become as mainstream as SW for EA to think that they can milk us with sub-par products just because it has the ME logo on it.

This doesn't mean I'm opposed to them branching ME in new genres but I probably won't buy those games because I'm an RPG gamer at its core.

EDIT:
SORRY FOR WALL OF TEXT.

Thank you for the clarification.
Was just a little surprised to hear a genre of PC gaming was extinct - granted by your clarification they aren't exactly so.
Just more rare now.

If they are less popular today; -sure they maybe dead to most people who don't care for them.
There are those however like me that will play any that come out.

Just was trying to ask why you believed they were a dead genre.
I can understand that for most companies it is all about the money, money, money.

While it is true that most would use the keyboard shortcuts in a normal RTS.
I find it far easier to just build a tactical army than go through keyboard shortcut methods.
Even when I played AOE 1-3 and all expansions I played this way.

I found it quite easy to play any map using the terrain and the even the enemy against themselves.
The forest map in AOE2 or AOE3(can't remember which) though I probably would have been arrested for deforestation.


Also I find the MOBA utterly distasteful of an upgrade to RTS and yes I know I guess many like that element:
Instead of upgrading your base and units you upgrade a single battle Iron Man.

While that may be cool and while that may be good and all it does loose re-playability of the game:
Go through the mission or missions, upgrade unit to beast-mode and stream-rolling the enemy...
I am sorry but for me that just feels like C&C4 all over again.
I know people... many apparently like that model and game makers have adapted to service those wants.

For me however I find the tactic of building a base under the pressure of an impending attack in which you:
Managing resources, building buildings, building units, making defenses and making an army that counters the enemy just more of a challenge.
Especially with an enemy that requires you to play using attrition as your friend against the enemy.
Reading that article I know many don't seem to care for that anymore and just want to steam roll everything.

While I can understand and even play a bit of 4x games.
Most 4x games I simply get bored (one more turn, one more turn) with over time.
Where with plain RTS it is you flying by the edge of your seat with or without a plan hoping what you do works and if it does not try another tactic.
In plain RTS games like Command and Conquer 3: Timberium Wars, Homeworld: Deserts Of Kharak or the StarCraft series there is an end goal to the set of a mission.
At which point in the conclusion of said mission part of the story is shown.
Then on to the next mission where the next part is revealed and once that mission is beaten the next part is again shown.

Now in 4x's case I know it may not be liked but take the old Master Of Orion 3 (with all improvement mods).
It happens to be one 4x that really bored me ...after nearly 3500+ game turns even with combat before I was able to beat it and at the end am like:
"That's it? Its ME3 all over again. All that work just for this?"

Sometimes I even forget what the story is that I am doing when I run a 4X so long at least in a plain RTS with missions I know what I am doing or what I left off doing before.
Even the Civilization game where you can start as George Washington bored me after I was already to present time and still no where near even entering the industrial revolution.
Even Solaris got boring after exploring every star system and the same responses and base story elements solved... a bit better than the other 4x's... expand on this I may find 4x at least tolerable.

Still in a normal RTS - if done right can tell quite good stories as any Homeworld series games and earlier Command & Conquer series games can indicate.
The 4X just seems to be lacking a bit in the story.
To much turn not enough story.

These two mods for Stellaris are pretty cool. You get all the Earth Alliance ships, various race character portraits, Mass Effect Music, and the best bit is that you can use mass relays for navigation. You actually build mass relays in systems and can create a network of them to expand your reach to other worlds. It's awesome.
