cant wait for this AAA game. feel bad for the playstation only fanboys who will miss out on this great game.

Never gave this game as much as a second glance, but after reading this article, I understand why the guys at EB Games think I'm crazy for not wanting to pre-order it. I definately will now. I agree, too bad for PS3, but I hope that someday every 3rd party title will be released on all consoles so fanboys as much hatred for each other.

It's going to set the new standard for RPGs IMO. I've had my pre-order down since January. I can't wait for it to come out, so here's hoping that it doesn't get delayed any longer.

Jay da 2KBalla6899d ago (Edited 6899d ago )

Honestly I hope it does get delayed to january or february only because its a new ip. Lost planet sold like crazy when it was released in january simply because there was no competition and normally games that sell really well get alot of additional financial assistance and believe me if microsoft sees mass effect as a successful franchise they will pour even more money into it which will lead to an even better sequel and even better third game.

Really I hope too human, bioshock, and mass effect get delayed till Q1 2008 for that reason alone.

It has a completely different demographic it a appeals to. GTA4 and Halo 3, while major releases, are not RPG's. RPG are fairly infrequent on the Xbox 360 at the current time. This game should be able to stand head to head with those major releases.

M1am1U6899d ago

I can understand your point of view, but I really think this is going to be a stand out title. It will get caught up to some extent in the Halo frenzy, but they're so different, and appeal to such a different audience that I think it will really stand out regardless. I just want to get my hands on it and play it already!

but we are getting White Knight, which looks amazing. So, i feel bad for 360 owners they arent getting that.

White Knight looks pretty good, but Mass Effect is going to be amazing.

TheXgamerLive6899d ago (Edited 6899d ago )

White Knight is another so so sony title that's been delayed again and again, or atleast it's being developed at a snails pace.

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-inferno178d 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.

Profchaos178d 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

jznrpg178d ago

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

P_Bomb178d ago

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

Rebel_Scum178d ago

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

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1073d ago

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

anast1073d 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.
