Bioware explains Mass Effect 2 trailer

In the latest issue of OXM, Bioware has partially explained the debut trailer for Mass Effect 2, and hinted at what it was really trying to show.

Bnet3436253d ago

I never understood the whole Cerberus Reapers thing. I know it was like some weird machine thing, but it confused the hell outta me. Can't wait for ME2! :)

miasma6253d ago

It was that whole 'beyond human comprehension' scenario, so they only mildly explained it.

Disccordia6253d ago

Cerberus were just a bunch of mercenaries in the first game.

The Reapers are not explained in great detail but my understanding of them is that they were just a bunch of powerful machines that would appear every now and again and 'harvest' entire galaxies - taking their technologies, enslaving some of them and completely destroying the rest. Then they would purposely leave some stuff intact (like for instance the mass relays) so that new species would advance more quickly and hence have new technology that the reapers could again take in future.

GameOn6253d ago

They hardly explained it.

RebornSpy6252d ago

not Cerberus. Cerberus is just a secret mercenary group that had a small role in the first Mass Effect game and a large role in the second ME novel. I feel that they will play a larger role in the second game, but I don't get why OXM seems to think that Shepard is chasing the group. They aren't related to the Reapers at all.

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine530d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast530d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman530d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast530d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave778d ago (Edited 778d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
