Definitely the most definitive cosplay of EDI from Mass Effect

Here's the best EDI cosplay we've ever seen.

The Mass Effect franchise has proven a boon for cosplayers as there are so many characters that inhabit that universe that are just begging for some cosplay adventure.

The Liaras and Sheppards are the obvious an easy targets but I'm guessing this costume of live action robot AI EDI involved a massive amount of preparation to get right. It's paid off too: 

Extra bonus points for having a pretty fetching pistol accessory !

This guy is back new a paper craft version of a Mass Effect babe, this time he has crafted EDI, the the Normandy's A.I. that adopted a robot form in the third game. Here's an amusing video...

The best EDI cosplay you'll probably come across

EDI cosplay from Mass Effect

We previously thought this EDI cosplay was great but here's some excellent cosplay from Mass Effect's larger than life A.I., EDI.

This keen cosplay action pose was brought to you by Crystal Graziano.

Mass Effect's EDI concept design art by Matt Rhodes

The introduction of EDI to the Mass Effect series in game two was a fine move by Bioware. While character introductions are always risky moves (Jar Jar Binks anyone?)  EDI was a great character and she was able to be utilised to explore some great sci-fi concepts and discussions about the role of an A.I. She was so popular that ME3 saw EDI come a character you could take with you on missions.

A very Tron like EDI

EDI provided to be a visual feast of beauty but a lot of hard work went into designing her. Here’s some early concept work from conceptual artist Matt Rhodes who recently posted his designs on his site.

EDI and Jeff

Here's some EDI cosplay. and here's some Femshep. Just because. OK, here's some Miranda as well. 

EDI Cosplay Costume from Mass Effect 3

Check out Reborn Flame's sweet picture of Mass Effect cosplayers - I think the EDI one is pretty impressive! I think EDI was attending the Phoenix Comicon. What do you reckon, is there any better EDI cosplayers out there in cosplay land?

Those other two dudes are all right as well I guess ;)

Movie references found in Mass Effect

Movie references found in the Mass Effect games

The entire Mass Effect game series is brimming with easter eggs and references to other games, movies and other popular culture. Here's a few movie nod though I think I've missed a whole heap of in jokes, direct lines and what not.

The Matrix

Joker refers to humans being organic batterys “Great this is where it starts, when we're all organic batteries guess who they'll blame?". This is in reference to the artificial intelligence EDI being freed of her programming locks.

A Spacey Odyssey 2001

Joker again. “What?! You're crazy! You start singing Daisy Bell and I'm done!" – The computer HAL 9000 sang Daisy Bell when it was being deactivated after going insane (or rampant perhaps). This itself was a reference to the IBM 7094 which was the first computer to sing and it sang the same song.

The Princess Bride

Commander Sheppard tells a C-Sec official that he was "just mostly dead." This was after Cerberus brought him back to life.

Star Trek

In the original ME, Commander Shepard tells a Krogan that the mine shift is collapsing and will surely kill them all. The Krogan replies, "Exhilirating, isn't it?", a direct reference to Kingon Kruge's response to Captain Kirk in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

If you take Sheppard to the Citadel and go to the bar on level 28 you can ask for a drink. The bar tender will pour you a tasty beverage .Shepard will exclaim 'This is green!'. This is a direct reference to Scotty's line from the original Star Trek movie.

ME2 - If you find yourself on Zakera Ward talking to Avina, can ask her why this area is more run down. She says "Asari futurists theorize that poverty will never truly be overcome by society until the invention of Cornucopia technology. A machine that can create anything the user desires. Such objects sadly do not exist out side science fiction literature" This is mostly potentially a reference to the replicator devices from Star Trek.

Star Wars 

In ME3, when Sheppard helps the Cerberus scientists escape, the line "The first transport is away.." is uttered and is a reference to the Rebels escaping the ice planet Hoth. 

Here's a more full list of Stars Wars references that can be found in Mass Effect.

The Hunt for Red October

During a ME3 mission with Tali, Joker activates the stealth drive saying "the only way they'll notice us is if everyone starts singing the Russian national anthem."

Battlestar Galactica 

OK it's a TV reference but while leaving the Geth Dreadnought Joker says "Just waggle your wings or something so I know which one is you" This is reference to the original Battlestar Galactica episode titled 'The Hand of God.'
