BioWare explains poor Mass Effect screens

BioWare has responded to the public outcry over yesterday's rather rough-looking Mass Effect screenshots, admitting that the shots were a "mistake" and "didn't look very good".

"The other day, we released 3 new screenshots," posts BioWare community coordinator Chris Priestly. "A few people posted comments about how the art in Mass Effect was 'dumbed down' and wasn't looking very good. And I took exception to the comment and posted my feelings. The problem was, the screenshots they were criticising DIDN'T look very good."

this new screenshot does look much better... though i didn't have much of a gripe with the previous 3 screens that were shown since i knew the final wouldn't look like that.

JasonXE6980d ago

the new ones still look "dumb down". It doesn't remind me of when I was watching the trailer. Look at his face texture, looks way to polygon :-/. If this is the work of compression then MS should of switch to a new format or Bioware should of used the xbox 360 HD to compensate.

nicodemus6980d ago

There's only one new picture, and I think it looks fine. The area it's taken in is darker than the usual screenshots we see, which hides some of the detail, but it's not some major "compression" issue.

Compare it to this screenshot, and it looks fine.

be good considering these are the same guys who are making GATOR which I love on my original xbox. I'm pretty sure there still working on it but I am disappointed by the graphics. I look at the graphics from the trailers compared to the picture that you showed nic...and i see a big difference. It's still good but not the trailer quality image.

so every is about the graphic now in games,and besides to me they look very close.

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-inferno188d 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.

Profchaos188d 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

jznrpg188d ago

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

P_Bomb188d ago

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

Rebel_Scum188d ago

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

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1083d ago

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

anast1083d ago

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