Mass Effect Video on Marketplace!!

The video can be found on IGN as well, but for those with a 360, download this video now!!!

It' s a little walkthrough that details the conversation and the combat, all in-game footage! It is SPECTACULAR!!!!!

I was a fan of KOTOR and Jade Empire, and knew that this game might be something special, but now I am totally blown away by what Bioware has done here!!!!

Thanks for the info mate, im gonna take a look, i was a huge fan of Jade Empire as well, so it should be great...

Im going for a nice healthy run it should be done when i get back! :)

I want this game.

Ya I got all the new d/ls lined up Halo3 behind the scenes, BFME walk throuigh, Mass effect demo trailer, frogger XBLA, and NCAA 07 demo

Holy Fucking Shit! That is soooo amazing! i clearly expect Quez to poop himself once he sees the video!


I want to see more!

Bioware getting down with their bad selves I see ;)

I love Bioware, so this game is one of my most anticipated 360 games, that and the fact that it looks bloody amazing!

Mass Effect is turning out to be very impressive indeed.

Did you see his facial expressions...


AAAARRGGHHH!!!!!!!!

This game has officially become part of my most wanted list!

Thanks for telling me,gonna dl it now,btw guys my computer will be taken tomorrow and send to repairs,so i might not be on kikiz forum for like 2-3 weeks,but i will be on XBL.

So just so you know,i havn' t left the site,i just need to fix mty computer.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Tiz, Quez, ...you two up for some GRAW tonight?!

Yeah! As long as you don' t ditch me like you did on CoD2!!!!

Careful Quez, don' t trust Majik as far as you can throw him...

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

I' ve just seen it - the main character is fuckin amazing and thhose boys know how to make a great Sci-Fi RPG (KOTOR) - it seems to be a much better game after they merged with pandemic - this could be the title worth getting 360 for.

CONFORM YOU NON-CONFORMIST!!!

If you look closely you' ll see that some bricks in it are made of High Expectations for Quality Entertainment - for now this wall separates me from 360 with great results (but MASS Effect could change that).

I' m all about catching up with my PS2 and having crazy amounts of fun on-the-go with my DS Lite :)

Hey don' t pee on my wall you bastard!

Screen captures (mine) from the 720p video (good ones too!) ... note that the last one will likely kill rubbish PC' s!

The sleek map/mission/planet chooser...



The ingame conversation/socail interaction mechanic...





Ingame combat...









Controlling other character...





I didn' t capture any shots that weren' t gameplay even though the cutscenes are fantastic too.

Finally, ...using dark enegry...

Im up for some GRAW,i can host ;)
Has 8mb internet connection.

Btw Mass effect looked insane,as i said,its the best looking gameplay video i seen so far.
When you see shepard close up talking its look even better then crysis.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!

So GRAW tonight or this afternnon? Now?

I could play GRAW now,i always win at so...

...i just downloaded the video off 1up, and i am pretty impressed....

...this is defiantly more like it, and i hope that other western 360 developers will follow bioware' s lead in attempting to push the boundaries...

...i really, really, like the character models, i think they' re bada$$!..

....if there are any criticisms though, first would be the frame-rate, which looked quite poor during the combat based sections of the video...

...second would be the backgrounds... ...or rather the lack of them...

...look at the walls, ground, floor and general environmental details during the bar scene... ..a bit ' no frills' isn' t it?... ...it' s like they used up all the available polygons on rendering the characters and forgot about the environments or something....

...still, this game has a while to go right?... ...hopefully the finished article will iron out those issues...

...or am i being picky?...

You' re being very picky!!!!!!!

How dare you judge a game before it comes out, why can' t you follow suit like the
rest of Kikizo and only slate PS3 games?!!! Even though they aren' t coming out
for ages....

Damn you Bish...

Sorry Bish, just out of curiosity... Where do your tastes sway in terms of the
next gen console race?

...yea..

....i do have this perfectionist thing going... ...that' s probably why i don' t buy half as many titles as most people... ...i tend to stick with the gaming visionaries and ignore the rest....

Sorry Bish, just out of curiosity... Where do your tastes sway in terms of the next gen console race

...i' m primarily a GAMER, who makes his buying decisions purely on games that appeal to me personally as a GAMER....

...i have absolutely NO loyalty to any maker of gaming consoles whatsoever... ...my loyalties reside with Developers and Developers only... ...as quality gaming experiences will remain my number 1 reason for buying a gaming system....

.....i intend on getting both a 360 (Team Ninja, Bungie) and a PS3 (Kojima Productions, Square-eninx)...

.....Nintendo don' t cater to my tastes normally, so i' m currently totally uninterested in the wii...

Currently accepting Article & Review requests

Bishonen ever heard of Bioware?

They have even better avg ration in terms of score on their rpg' s then square.enix.

ABout the frame-rate...last dev stage is optimizing the game code.
Also when i think about the future,i think about clean enviorment,i mean in terms of houses,bars,spacestations,i dont think there is 100000 junk lying all over the floor or at diffrent walls.

And no,i didn' t write so in a attempt to defend what you think lacked details,cause i think they had a lot of them.
Like on the casino,or at the abandon space station with the robots.

Btw about why Oblivion run at 20 fps on the best pc they could find at bethsead,not because that pc sucked,at e3.

I take it you' re getting DOAX2 then?

360 has most of my gaming needs catered for, and more interesting IP than
PS3.

So I am generally swayed to the 360, but 90% of that loyalty is down to Ninja
Gaiden 2. If it was coming to PS3, there would be certain shelved loyalties and new
unchartered territory to discover and become acquainted with.

HELL YEAH!!!

360 has most of my gaming needs catered for, and more interesting IP than

...there' s defiantly a selection of very good looking games scheduled to be released on the 360, which if you had an ex-box like me, you will be ecstatic about (because beside Team Ninja & Bungie, there wasn' t a whole lot else worth spending cash on)

..but i expect PS3 to release some pretty awesome games too... ..i think it' s far too early to believe the ' Sony are doomed' crap because it not even out yet!... .....wait a year after PS3' s release, look at the IP currently available, sales and what' s on the horizon etc, and then make your decision.... ...like now with 360...

Here is the problem,Ps3 charge you basically 200$ more for their console,for me in EUrope they charge us 300 dollar more bvut enough about that.

They ask you to work hard to be able to afford it.

now why must i work hard and pay a lot more money for something that is specc wise with 360?

What kind of titles is so special?

Remember ps1 started from nothing to stealing Dragon quest and Final Fanatsy from nintendo.

Sony has nothing that makes ps3 woorth buying for atm.

if you' re a huge sick mgs4 fan who think watching a movie is worth 900 dollar.

Oh God here we go again :)

Hmm. Here' s what I think PS3 MAY possibly offer.

MGS4: I only like watching MGS, I' d rather play Splinter Cell.

FFXIII: Another game I' d rather watch.

Urm... Yeh, I suppose I am gonna have to wait and see what else the PS3 has
to offer...

i think it' s far to early to believe the ' Sony are doomed' crap because it not even out yet!...

I don' t believe they are doomed, just haven' t tied their laces at the start of the
race. I do strongly believe the PS3 is going to mop the floor with the other 2, it' s
corporate identity is too strong, and there are loads of people that would much
rather purchase a Sony product.

Take for example this:

When 360 was being rolled out to all its respective stores, I managed to have
a try on PGR3, which was great, it was my first taste of HD gaming on NextGen.

There was such a big crowd behind me, I was like... WOW, does it look that good?
Then, the CHAV couldn' t bear but say " Ain' t the PS3 meant to be better?" Everyone
was like, " oh yeah" . Then left.

Just the rumour of PS3 is enough to stop other consoles selling, fortunately for M$
their pockets are lined with the green stuff, where as Sega thought the public
would just buy into their reputation. If M$ didn' t have the money to market, I
think they would have gone the way of the DC.

You have anything against the best western rpg makers?

Buy Dragon age for PC next year,its being made by bioware also,.

The only reason why I believe Mass Effect can be as fun as it looks is that Bioware (good - not great developer) has merged with great developers from pandemic studios.

:)

If I' m to point at the best western RPG makers I' d go with Blizzard/Bethesda

Blizzard is the only PC dev that makes ultra high quality games with extraordinary presentation and production values.It' s also very rare for Blizz to release games as unpolished as Kotor(ending cut-scene was so bad, that it was hilarious) or Oblivion.

Gangsta didn' t like Jade Empire.

Gangsta didn' t like Jade Empire.

Well... The characters sucked, and it was too short, on the plus side, the story was a
complete flip around if not cliched, but they pulled it off well.

And by FAR has one of the best battle systems I have ever experienced..

When I have Kids, I' m gonna watch Tom and Jerry with them..

I couldn' t stop playing until 12 h (I thought it' s the best game ever :) ) - then battles became to simple and easy - just a stupid rutine, some silly RPG schemes and stupid loadings in the arena ...this game was great for the first 10 h, but it was mediocre in overall.The story wasn' t interesting - not even a bit.But it was a great start and they can build upon that in Mass Effect with Pandemic (mercenaries - awesome/ Full Spectrum Warrior - awesome)

The only reason why I believe Mass Effect can be as fun as it looks is that Bioware (good - not great developer) has merged with great developers from pandemic studios.

What makes Pandemic a great developer? Bioware' s track record beats anything pandemic can dish up with!

and further more, what makes Blizzard a good rpg game maker? WoW dont count, and diable, well its not a " real" rpg

Why Wow doesn' t count? cause you say so?

If it weren' t for diablo , bioguys would never make baldurs gate.Diablo started it all.

What makes developers great? Great games. The level of polish in mercenaries comparing to other games with comparing freedom was amazing.


Bioware - I don' t care if you love them so much, they are a bunch of guys with nice vision and good execution - however far from quality that mercenaries or any game by blizzard ever was.

Baldurs Gate 1 is their bigest hit to date - the one game that really made difference.I know you think that no game can match KOTOR or Jade - that' s your opinion and that' s fine with me.
I' d rather play Grandia 3 for it' s battle system alone than finish jade empire (like I said I loved this game for the first 12 h - but that' s it).
