Mass Effect blog update: E3 2007 – Looking Back; Plus New Images

In the latest Mass Effect blog update Casey Hudson, Project Director of BioWare talks about how difficult their situation was at E3, because they wanted to show a deeper look on the game without spoiling it:

"We've had a lot of great feedback from this year's E3 demo, but it was a long and treacherous road to get there. As E3 approached this year, we realized that we had a problem. We've talked about how "Mass Effect" puts you in control of emotionally-charged decisions that have a huge impact on the game world and the way you experience the story. But we realized that it was time to show a deeper look at what we meant by that. However, all of those situations in the game are, by definition, major spoilers. How would we show these amazing moments without giving away something that players would want to discover on their own?"

I think Mass Effect is gonna WOW us all. The game is just a great all around made game. I still have yet to see any flaws or drawbacks in the game. Even talking in the game looks interesting and fun.
Name how many games that can boast that one.

For me, this is the BEST GAME OF 2007, period. No disrepect to Halo 3, Bioshock, or even COD4 ... I will purchase all of them as well & they will be AAA titles themselves. But MASS EFFECT will set the bar very, very high in my opinion for RPG's, New IP's, & Next Gen titles. The story, the graphics, the gameplay, the scope & size, all will level Mass Effect to a very high pedestal. Bioware simply does not fail. They have focused on the gameplay of this title as much as everything else, I'm convinced that it will be a Quantum Leap from my beloved KOTOR. And it's a TRILOGY !!!

MASS EFFECT: ONE GAME TO RULE THEM ALL !!!

Can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on this one. Mass Effect is definitely the game to play this year IMO. Read earlier about Bioware having to hold back on what they shown of the game at E3, so at to not spoil any of the plotline for us; I always suspected that was the case.

I'm hoping the release date might be brought forward a little, now that GTA4 has been delayed. Now that would be a pleasant surprise.

Hey man make sure you check out the screen shots Blackjack 7 posted on comment 2.1. Man them graphics are top notch.

Nemesis6533d ago (Edited 6533d ago )

Yes I checked them out. This game just looks better each time I see it. They're obviously still hard at work polishing the game.

On an unrelated note. I've just sent feedback to the site admins requesting smilies be added to the site. I think they help convey a better sense of context and make it easier to add a little humour to your posts without coming across as being rude. Do you think smilies would be a good idea?

360Crusader6533d ago

Yes I think its a good idea. I think it will help. We know how sensitive some people are on this website.

Everytime they release new screenshots they just look better and better. The lighting is much improved as is the facial textures.

Can't wait to play it.

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox760d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.

Snowb420960d ago

If you get your readiness level high enough in Mass Effect 3, *spoilers* you can see Shepard taking in a breath of air under some rubble. It would depend on whichever ending is canon.

@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
