Impressions: Mass Effect 2 PS3 demo | Examiner.com

XMNR: Mass Effect 2 finally hit the Playstation 3 last night in the form of the demo. It promises upgraded graphics due to the use of the same engine as Mass Effect 3 along with a few other extra goodies. We took the demo for a test spin last night after downloading it and dove back into the sci-fi RPG tale from BioWare.

I was surprised how the PS3 demo graphically held up against the PC version. The blur is much cleaner and I noticed that the vorcha was more detailed on the demo compared to the PC version.

hennessey865631d ago

im still waiting for it to appear in the psn store

3dawg5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

did u also noticed the hiccups? not as smooth as i thought it should be.

edit: @disagrees play the f%^&ng demo!

RedRedSuitSDF5631d ago

Yep... reports are coming in that it's not as smooth as the 360 version. Not surprising.

Queasy5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

Yeah, it is mentioned in the article.

Edit: You're disagreeing that it is mentioned in the article?

jack_burt0n5631d ago

Just played through it a second time, it is def a step up from the 360 version, your obviously getting reports from ppl that dont have a ps3 like yourself.

dead space 2 is better on ps3 too LOL

Biggunz5631d ago

considering the source I doubt if the reviewer even played the game.

Vortex3D5631d ago

It seems whenever someone comments that ME2 demo on PS3 doesn't have smooth framerates, it gets a lot of disagrees. I played the demo and commented of poor framerates and also getting disagrees.

My opinion is many PS3 gamers have been waiting for ME2 and with the hype of PS3 version has better "graphics" because of ME3 engine, reading someone saying it has poor framerates just don't go well. It's like popping their hype bubble.

Hasn't ME2 on PS3 already gone gold? I do hope the shipping game has smooth framerates as X360 version but I wouldn't be surprised if the main complain will be framerates on the full game when it's out.

3dawg5631d ago

IcarusOne5630d ago

lol @ phantom disagrees. PS3 fanboys never disappoint.

It's funny how they never gave a shit about ME before. In fact, some of them shit all over it because it was a lowly xbox exclusive. Now, the second you mention one unflattering thing about the port, they get all pissy.

Change your tampons people. Just be glad you're getting this game. It's one of the best written stories out there. Which proves my point that true genius and inspiration don't reside exlusively with first party developers.

Nemo885630d ago

@Vortex 3D youre not being truthful are you???

It says nowhere in the article its has hiccups... COMPARED TO 360 version.

Just that.. it still has hiccups.. like the 360 version did!!

Get it straight and deal with it ;)

Oh my what will Mass Effect 3 look like on PS3 they got the engine running this well already?

Exciting. And silent PS3 with no disc changing...gotta hurt

Queasy5630d ago

@Biggunz: Yeah, aren't baseless accusations fun? I did play the demo on the PS3.

Don't know what you're so upset about as the Impressions article (not a review) is overall very positive.

Heres their opinion:

Quote:

"Overall, the game is the same Mass Effect 2 that PC and Xbox 360 players enjoyed when it was released at the beginning of the year. The game gets a graphical upgrade courtesy of the Mass Effect 3 engine but there's still the occasional hitch in the engine but nothing that is disruptive to the experience. There is a difference in the graphics between the PS3 version and the Xbox 360 version but it is hard to quantify as to how much. Let's just say that the PS3 version does look better than the Xbox 360 version and looks very clean with upgraded features and character models. It will be enjoyed very much."

This should wrap things up here.

Masterchef20075630d ago

So much for the superior 360 version. But what do you expect they had a year to work on the PS3 version like Bethesda did with Oblvion same thing

Hellsvacancy5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

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

anast529d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine529d 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.

anast529d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman529d ago

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

anast529d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman528d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave777d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
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

DustMan777d ago

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

SimpleSlave777d ago (Edited 777d 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.
