dirthurts5867d ago

Why not set your TV as your second display, and play pc games there. That's what I do. Pretty simple really.

SmokeyMcBear5867d ago

why are the gameplay shots of ME2 always in the dark... doh.

GamerSciz5867d ago

I see an improvement in lighting, texturing, and overall polycount on the models and environments. Looking very good and looks like they improved on everything graphical.

thewhoopimen5867d ago

Partially agree. Texture is definitely sharper, lighting is also better. However, I don't see the polygon pushing you're talking about. Character polygon count look pretty much the same to me. Same with the environment looking at the command center on the ship. Everything is a little wider... same design. What needs to be seen is the animations, physics and particle effects, as well as number of onscreen AI. That to me completes the overall "package".

Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."

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-inferno99d 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.

Profchaos99d 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

jznrpg99d ago

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

P_Bomb99d ago

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

Rebel_Scum99d ago

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

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast432d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine432d 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.

anast432d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman432d ago

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

anast432d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman431d ago

3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

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

SimpleSlave680d ago (Edited 680d 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.
