Mass Effect Update: One Disc, Multiple Forms of User Customization

First off, Hudson stated that Mass Effect will fit on one disc, but "just barely." Then he went on to talk about how players will be able to tweak the main character, Commander Shepherd (A.K.A. Jack Bauer in Space) to their liking -- gender, facial features, class, starting skills, and more will be determined not by the developers, but by the player.

Hudson also commented that while he and the development team "don't mind supporting" custom soundtracks, the game's soundtrack is a "huge original score," that will add to the ambiance.

Does barely fitting on a disc as of the moment mean it's possible that Mass Effect could be one of the first multi-disc games for the Xbox 360?

I'd buy it on one disc, or 10. I don't mind swapping.

...Except if in one mission it see you swap through 6,4,3,7,9,1,2,4,6,2,1 and 4 to complete :)

Chagy6944d ago

maybe they should of put it on the ps3 because they have blu-ray Disc lol jp

hmmm multiple disc? i dont care as long as its a good game

BIadestarX6944d ago

it's better to have a great game in 2 disk than to have a bad game in 1.

I think after MS releases the bigger hard-drive no one will care as folks purchase of larger future title's they will be party stored on HDD, advances in compression will help, either way we'll probably thank MS for the intial push of Downloadable content.

lets ask ourselfs why the new HDD for the 360 is so large. IPTV is dirrect feed from what i understand and yes the 360 will serve as a TIVo still the rumored 120 giger is massive.

power of Green 6944d ago

I was hoping it would be on two or more disc getting up to change discs in most genre's is no problem, the space worries are used by idiots to spite what they don't like.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno116d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos115d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb116d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum115d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1011d 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.
