Che Chou, a former 1UP/EGM editor who now works for Turn 10 Studios as a game developer, posted a new hands-on impression of Mass Effect in NeoGAF as "chespace" after ten hours of playing the game. Here are some highlights of his second impression:
• "It just keeps throwing [snip!] at you to do. I'm about 10 hours into the game and I've barely even touched the main quest..."
• "Vehicular combat is also very satisfying. There's also a 'hood view' for the moon buggy... Makes it REALLY immersive when you're exploring new worlds or an ancient ruin..."
• "Different planets have different climate effects. I went to one planet where it was having a meteor shower or something..."
• "Every character in the galaxy has been unique so far, and [snip!] WOW at the graphics/acting/voiceover for the most part... it was like watching a gorgeous CG movie where you can somewhat control the outcome of events."
• "This is next gen RPG folks."
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.
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.
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
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
