(IGN) New Mass Effect Screens, Interview, and Art (56k no)

Looks great but... man, those pics are glowing like, like... *GLOW*
And those faces are generic. I mean, none of them is a face I'd recognise again. Be more creative!!
 
This is the one title since the day it was announced that I have wanted the most. Please Bioware take your time with it. It could be bigger than Oblivion was and that's saying something!

looks pretty sterile.

Which is why everyone says it looks like a 70's sci-fi. I like the sterile look and I know that once your party hits an outerworld, than the look and feel of the game will change... much like they did with KotOR.

Totally. Alien and 2001 looked Sterile too. As does the graphic design of something like BSG. But then, you know I'm already all over it.
 
Looking forward to this. More reasons to buy a 360.

And why the **** is everybody just talking about the graphics?
Oh wait.

Why is everyone drooling on it's graphics. Yes it has good graphics, but not "omgwtfbbq" good.

Seeing it in motion, particularly the dialogue parts, it looks almost prerendered. I'm a die-hard JRPG player and haven't been remotely interested in any western RPG's, until seeing this game. The story seems interesting and the game looks to really draw you into it.
 
"Final Fantasy 13 can kiss Mass Effect's ass" and the doctored comment is a permabann offense? Just ****ing wow. You can't be serious
 
Checking the IGN page, it says that this is a two player game. Are we talking locally or across Xbox Live?

my brother was permabanned for jizzing over screens of mass effect? He wasn't trolling, he actually plans on buying one because of this game. Just wondering if thats standard response for this sort of thing, or maybe a mod was being a little heavy handed? :/
Nazi mods FTL. A ban was certainly warranted... but perma-banned? Over that? Give me a ****ing break.

Ironic that there's a poster in this very thread (who will not be named) who gets a free pass to troll every 360 topic without consequence. Double standards suck, guys.

Anyway. Back to the awesome.

I love this one. Not just because it's well illustrated, but its nice to see character art where the person is not just flexing a supersweet action pose. I hope this kind of mood is reflected in the game.


New wallpaper on my X360?

Why yes, I think so. :)

You know what I'd love? If you're gonna ban someone for whatever reason, then own up like a man and put your nombre next to the swarmy text saying why you banned them. But that would be too much like being a real man, wouldn't it?

*Dragona is exempt from this 'be a man' clause*
 
You were banned by Speevy.

Reason: Speevy enjoys banning people, and you caught him on a bad day.

Will be lifted: 12/29/45

You'd fit right in. :lol
 
One thing I really wish they drop is the custom character.
DonÂ’t get me wrong I love messing with the character creation process (oh sweet! A boob size slider! ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT!) but in a dialog heavy game I would rather have a well defined persona.
You always ends up with the same gender-agnostic writing techniques, which I feel is an unnecessary burden that BioWare keep putting on thier writers.

p.s.
my god this game looks awesome.
 
Mass Effect looks amazing. I love the art style. I'm really curious how the blend of RPG and shooter works out; it's an odd blend but I have a lot of faith in Bioware. Last I read, this was supposed to be a spring/early summer release, so that May 22 date might be about right. Can't wait.
 
Some really nice art there! I should have overlooked the thread.
I'm looking closely on this one. I just hope they will realise there is freaking too much bloom in there thought.

stupid ban. :\
 
This thread had a Massive Effect on GAF's roster.

Sorry, I had to. *whimper*

Anywho, I wonder when we'll get some more video footage. This game's a stunner regardless, but like most games, especially next gen stuff, movement brings it all together. Start releasing new, updated videos, guys!
 
That mod is my kind of guy. People who bring up stupid 360 vs PS3 comparison on a thread should be banned. God speed in your banning, because a quarter of the people here do that.
 
Holding judgement. I don't really like the art direction and the character designs(Too "Western" for my taste), but I fancy a deep sci-fi story, so I hope Bioware gets the mix right.

Jebus... Everyone thinks they are art directors @ GAF. :lol

I giggled.


I'm trying not to get hyped on this game after being disappointed in Bioware's most recent games, but it's hard... Mass Effect seems to have some bonuses to hype generation.

What the hell does that even mean?

I haven't been keeping up with the game too closely, how robust is the character customization? Human <-> Alien? Male <-> Female? Do you have sliders for everything like in Oblivion?
 
BlueTsunami said:
I googled "too western" and this came up as one of the results

Thinks he's Awesome, but is wrong. Least Cool poster on NeoGAF. Totally Hot for David Hasselhoff (and his posts are never Devoid of Gay Subtext...)

Your tag fits you perfectly

Male or female, and I'm pretty sure I read a couple times that "everything is customizable" or something, so whatever that means. You can only be a human, though. It's part of the story.
 
Nice job mods. There's simple trolling of 360 games (like in most 360 threads, I confess, I sometimes participate in it) and there's extraordinary, retarded trolling of PS3 games in 360 threads about 360 exclusive games like that guy did.

Had he stop at commenting "Mass Effect looks awesome!" all would be fine & dandy but nah he had to throw a "hyped PS3 exclusive game looks like shit!" as well.

BTW Mass Effect does indeed look awesome. I can only hope it gets a PC releaese somewhere in the future.

maybe not banned but it comes up everytime...and people need to stop it...

peace
 
Hope the battle system and loading times are much better in this one than KOTR and JE otherwise it looks really nice
