  • Parrish's beard FTW!

  • You just gotta love that intro music ^_^ the Nomandy

  • I can't wait.  I hope my L59 female biotic will not die on me on this.... LOL...

  • The presentation at E3 definitely left me wanting a lot more. Having tried the behind closed doors demo of ME2 and coming back home to try out ME1, the difference is clear as night and day. I'm intrigued to see the choices that will ultimately succumb Shepherd in harm's way and see if he/she will make it through with my playthrough once it comes out next year!

  • i bet that they're going to have a part near the beginning in the default setting where some official asks you, "So, what happened to ________," and that's how it will be determined if the character makes an appearance in ME2.

    also, lolz at the robot at 1:26.

  • Nope, the save just carries on as they say.

  • i was talking about the default setting, i.e., if you choose to start ME2 without loading your save from ME1.

  • Good question

  • no it goes by saved files

  • As long as Joker doesnt die im fine! lol

  • he might just think the normandy gets attacked and the roof ripps off and hes handycap ssssssssooooooooo

  • So we have to go back! I'm not leaving him behind!

  • Parrish Ley's got a killer 'stache lol

  • for 2:03-2:09 wat he said about not seeing a character u killed off, how is that gonna work? does that mean ull have to play the first game in order to play the 2nd? thats kinda the flaw there. just askin

  • this is if you kept your save file game from the first ME. If you didn't then they get you up to speed with the story. So the characters killed off would come from ME1

  • theres probably a default if u didnt play the first game so it doesnt matter.

  • Is it just me or did i see the normandy being blown up?

  • yeah. wtf.

  • ya it looked like it.

  • I-- I think this is the AWESOME!!!! Itis the sweetness!!!! I LOVES it!!!

  • Oooh, i likes, i was a big fan of the first game. The best rpgs are coming from these guys.

  • when does it come out for sale??

  • December 31, if you go to Gamestop they have a book with future game releases. I know it stinks.

  • Thanks anyway I couldn't seem to find the date.

  • No December 31 isn't right man. Just looked it up. They say sometime between Jan and Mar of 2010. They use December 31 as a generic date I think for games without a specific date but in the timeframe.

  • well that sucks :(

  • my main thing is they said that you can carry over your data but they also said like if you didnt kill them they would return. so does that meen if i didnt kill ashley she will return becuase ive seen most of the trailers and i havent seen her or kaiden.

  • Doesn't neccesarily mean they'll come back as playable characters. Not to say old allies won't return to help in ME2, because I saw Tali in a trailer in Shepard's party, but who knows what happened to the characters in between ME and ME2. Besides, it's in still the early stages of media release for ME2. Bioware's not going to fully reveal who will be returning and who will be new. We'll just have to wait a little longer to find all that out. But yes, Ashley or Kaiden should make an appearance.

  • i think you didn't see them to keep players from getting confused by watching the trailer. like thinking "wth? they died last game."

  • ya that would make sense

  • I think fell in love with this game

  • when does the game come out?

  • Q1 2010

  • i finished the me1 in 2 days.

  • its not worth it to play so fast...the best part is exploring

  • true. The main storyline os mass effect can be completed in like 2 hours max. The majority of the fun comes from all the misc. quests

  • you mean those few quests in citadel ?? i played about 2 days and i finished almost every secondary quest that was possible.

  • Huh? Without doing any sidequests, the main storyline still takes a good 15 hours plus. You shouldn't be rushing in a Bioware game anyway, that's exactly the opposite of what you should be doing in Bioware games.

  • on repeated playthroughs it seems like I've breezed right through it, still 2 hours may have been a bit of an exaggeration. But yeah point taken

  • exploring what ?? there are about 5 planets to visit with like 100m2 of surface to explore and one building in the center. everywhere i go there are only planets that i cant land on

  • that is it...!! I WANT MY FUKIN XBOX BACK

  • It just shits me some money-hungry machine like EA who don't give a shit about their buyers chose to distribute this game

  • i love mass effect xDDDDDDDDDDDDD it rocks great story great graphics great everything

  • I want it to come out sooner, it seems that you can pre order it so lets hope sooner then 2010.

  • I just hope they fix 2 problems

    1. Lag. Mass Effect one had horrible lag for the average graphics, on a decent rig.

    2. Waiting time, i.e. Elevators, Transporters, things that should be skippable, just aren't.

  • These 2 problems are confirmed to be fixed. The texture-pop in and framerate issues are much fixed and it's much smoother now, as well as better looking thanks to the better graphics.

    2. I remember an interview stating that the Bioware read alot of forums and know what their fanbase wants fixing, such as better planets to explore, more and better sidequests, better combat, and the elevator sequences were one of them, they said they'd be much more fun, or they worked around not having one there.

  • downloading patch now, i shall see.

  • Bioware actually care about their fans ;)

  • elevators and transporters take so long because they are, in fact, loading times.

  • but they are preprogrammed in length, despite your hardware.

  • Game comes out 12/31/09 says Gamestop. BioWare i loved the first one and i hope the story is as creative as the first one was. But honestly i have to wait until the new year to get this game... It better be awsome.

  • Luigi at 00:52

  • lol

  • can sum one tell me wtf happeneds to the NORMANDY?! it better not get blown up without your choice in the matter..if it blows it should be your fault by bad choice.

  • looks fuckin amazing they won my vote

  • ....but, but when?

    When?

    WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN­N!!!!!!!!?????

  • i think this game comes out in december

  • "we need something that when you hit somebody you kill 'em a thousand times" << thats what we like to hear :P:P

  • 2:23 kind reminds me of that book Hyperion

  • Just finished my first playthrough in under 12 hours, major rush job but it's a library rental so I thought I wouldn't have enough time to finish it.

    Now I'm gonna go through second time and be an absolute bastard. The game is fucking phenomenal, was a bit slow to get round to playing it, seeing as how much I loved KOTOR 1 and 2.

    Although the frame rate was slightly jerky once in a while, I thought the graphics were excellent, as was the combat, I didn't expect the game to be so action packed

  • man, games that these developers make are unbelievable.

    i mean KOTOR 1 and 2 were i'd say the best rpg's that ive played for a while, other than mass effect 1, now that the've come up with Mass Effect 2, i am gonna cream when it gets released

  • kotor 2 wasnt made by BioWare actuallly

  • bioware never made KOTOR 2 they only made the 1 one Obsidian made the 2 one. Anyway I agree with you, bioware makes some pretty memorable games

  • cant wait till 2010 mass effect 1 was masterfull !!!

  • Best storyline in my opinion would be it involved going to dark space and face the dudes (forgetting the name) that wiped the universe every 500k years...

    Or have Shepard going there and u get to play as him as he's stuck in dark space

  • its the reapers that destroy the galaxy

    and its not 500k

    its 50k

    its a amazing story

    dam i can't wait :(

  • i really need to play mass effect, because it doesnt look that good, but every one says its amazing

  • mass effect 1 is one of the best games i've ever played, if u havent tried it then you're missing out big time.

  • Haha not on PS3 hahaha!

  • I think there should be some kind of leaderboards to see the top players who kill the most geth,most money,most death,etc.

  • im impressed, i didnt thought that after an almost perfect game could be improved this much!

  • I can't believe the Normandy gets destroyed!!

    Holy %^&$#

    Can't wait to play this game!!! =(

  • its coming out spring 2010 at least thats what i herd

  • I just finished the first one today...OMG what an amazing game! It just joined my list of all-time favourites, can't get over how good it was. Anyway, I am so hyped for E3 now, really want to hear about Mass Effect 2!!!

  • I can't wait for mass effect 2 to come out im so excited

  • shit the game includes a full omni armor :)) sweet.

  • What if thats the first part of ME 2, when the Normandy blows up and they think he's dead.

    Female shepard wooot!

  • do you think the normandy's cru is dead? because if joker die's that stinks he's awsome.

  • in what site in the computer can you see E3 in live? cause I want to see it in june 1st

  • My theory. Shepherd is hunted by an unknown enemy. To get them off is back he crashlands the Normandy so that his pursuers think he is dead. Officially the Alliance and the Citadel say he is KIA but in reality he is working undercover, perhaps for Cerberus as a double agent.

  • Ur half right

  • Which part? And how do you know!?

  • Cerberus..... doesn't ME1 have a subplot that allows you to finish off the whole Cerberus org?

  • Cerberus still exist in the novel Mass Effect Ascension which takes place after Mass Effect 1. Cerberus will have a major part in the game it seems and the Illusive Man (Cerberus leader) is the main antagonist in ME2

  • i'm getting the feeling that doing the subplot in the 1st game gives a major impact on ME2.

    hey did you read the novel though? cause I was wondering whether the autistic girl there named Gillian( who has huge bio potential etc. ) was the same girl you helped outside the Citadel Dock. :))

  • Nope, that is not Gillian. The dock girl is too old and was kidnapped by slavers. Gillian lived a "normal" life on the school and her dad would never let slavers near her.

  • Wait i think there's a flaw with your argument. The Prequel (Mass Effect: Revelations) to the novel Mass Effect Ascension doesn't include Commander Shepard. But instead, the main protagonist in the prequel is Captain Anderson along with his story w/ Saren. So I'm guessing that the novels are just a side story to the game itself and it doesn't explain the entire story of Mass Effect. Nevertheless, I still agree that the Illusive Man and Cerberus are included in ME2 but not the main villains.

  • liked your part you said but heres a theory i have that nobody seems to have looked at. the shadow brooker he harldy in terms of who he is does not feature in the first the misson where your given a choice to hand ova some info, if you say no then agents hunt down shepard and try to kill him i think the shadow brooker is key to everything

  • wow that dudes stasch was huge

  • Love the end with Shepard in the destroyed Normandy. I think Shepard is going to fake his death and for the rest of the game we will play someone different (similar to MGS2)

  • I have a good feeling that it's going to begin similarly to KOTOR 2.

  • you have no idea how much i want that to be true.

  • I don't know about you. But I don't want that to be true. I don't want to play as someone new, I want to play as Shepard! Don't get me wrong, KOTOR 2 was still great. But it didn't compare to the first. I wanted to play as Reven again. I hope ME2 doesn't do that.

  • well if you look at the body shape it looks to be as if its a new character but I dunno maybe its a more updated version

  • ATTENTION all of youtube!!!!!!! A massive prank will be pulled on the comedian "Fred" on june 1st!!! Here is how the prank works. Once June first hits Everybody who has a life is going to unsubscribe to "Fred" , and its bound to make the news!!!!! If you aren't subscribed to "Fred", then subscribe, and on June 1st, unsubscribe!!!!Copy and paste to spread the word

  • Great stuff. ME1 was the best game I ever played. Good to know that our choices (in this case; dead members) will be implemented in this Game Of The Year 2010.

  • OMFG at the end when the guy is walking thru the ruins and is breathing loadly, if u look and remember from ME1, THATS THE NORMANDY!!!!!! the normandy is destroyed, i hope Jokers OK, also did u guys notice that ME1 uses a blue color palet for the game while here, ME2 looks like it will have an orange color palet, interesting

  • i have a feeling that the part with who is likely shepard on the oartially blown up normandy could be near the start of the game so that it would add a twist to whatever is happening, i dunno if u will play as shepard i think itd make sense if u didnt though

  • that depends cause if you play as a new character that means they will have to hire a new person for the voice so i dont think so UNLESS they will use the same voice as shepard.

  • it think that if you have a save from mass effect 1 you play as sheperd if not you play as a new character

  • Comment removed

  • i cant wait 'till this game comes out!!!!!!!!

  • ... Lol. They are showing it at E3 they said, some small dialogue and combat. I don't think anyone died either since our old characters are needed to be kept on our hard drive.

  • But the thing is that it wouldn't be the character per se that would be saved but the political situation at the end. I think you're given a completely new character and probably the story is you have to find Shepard whose got himself lost somewhere (where finding his/her dead body would be the character model saved from the first). That's my best guess.

  • I see, that makes a lot of sense when you put it that way.

  • you guys are awwsome at creating games. I have one request.

    PLEASE PLEASE TELL US WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REST OF THE CREW!!!!!!!!!!

    YOU GUYS ROCK

  • SO PUMPED FOR THIS GAME!

  • this just made me want to replay mass effect 1.

  • That has to be a joke :( It's all you ever hear when you're perusing the galactic map.

  • How can your choices from ME1 carry through to the next? Intriguing...

  • I will be based on your saved games from Mass Effect 1... The game will load them and find out what you have done, and that will effect the game in Mass Effect 2... I am really looking forward to it...

  • You have to keep your saves, I put them onto an un-formatable drive.

  • its if you have your save from the first game

  • Great game makers.

  • ??

    okay so to play this you WILL need M.E 1? because of the choices you made?

    also this reminds me of KOTOR which was awesome a definate buy for me

  • Well, if you buy ME2 without having to play ME1, ME2 will bring you right up to speed with the ME1 story. But, it is HIGHLY recommended that you play ME1 first so you at least get a sense of the story, and once you beat ME1, you at least have a character to port onto ME2.

  • no you wont need M.E 1 but it might make 2 alot better

  • :O awesome XD

  • THEY BLEW UP THE NORMANDY! I mean.. that coupled with Shepard's "death" already has me wanting to play this game.. it seems like it will be an undeniably awesome game!

  • where is E3?

  • E3 is in L.A in early June.

  • shame that is releasing out late but it has to be good no matter what

  • Well, considering they PUSHED AND PUSHED to have ME out on time, I think having ME2 a little delayed will be like marinating a steak for just that little bit longer before cooking. :)

  • fuck mass effect

    nah this game i gonna be the best game of 2010

  • Oh man I can't wait for this game to come out.. ME1 is my favourite game ever:D.

  • It's fine if it's darker. 

    JUST GIVE US A FLASHLIGHT! =D

  • this is gettin released in like january of 2010 right?

  • They stated it's going to release in early 2010. What month they're referring to by "early" is beyond me. Definitely a day one purchase for me though.

  • sometime in between january and march.

  • Rumor has it ME2 will be released in March 2010.

  • Looks great. Shame it's going to be released in 2010 though.

  • I can't wait for Mass Effect 2, gonna be soooooo f'ckin' amazing. =]

  • This Game looks Fucking Cool as Fuck Can't wait To play It!!!!

  • Does anybody know where you find the N7 heavy armour in mass effect ?

    im not a noob, ive played through it quite alot but cannot find it.

  • Comment removed

  • This game is going to be amazing just like the first one, but better!

  • Most people have realized that Shepard will be playable. The question is why the teaser says he's dead.

  • Notice in this video the normandy crashes. Maybe cereberus have him listed as dead because they blew apart his/her ship without realising he/she is still alive?

  • about what you said krouga235, it might be true that they fired and thought he have died but then again it wouldnt make sense if it was cereberus, I mean the reapers and the geth are the real threat, for now that is.

  • I think it would be cereberus considering the trailer was set up on a cereberus computer database if you watch it on the website. They made it as if you were a cereberus agent reading up on shepard's file to find that he's dead

  • oh fuck cant wait its like drug just a few more months

  • thats the normandy gettin all blown up at the end :(

  • AH i want this game now seriously who knows when it comes out i loved mass effect, this isnt even really a promo trailer and im pumped for it lol

  • when is E3?

  • 1-4th june

  • Well i have the idea that we wont be playing as shepard, but maybe we will find him at the end of the game.

  • I came

  • i need it...now...please?

  • They killed Shepherd . Those bastards.

  • They never said they killed Shepard. Not saying they didn't or that he will not die in the game, but I doubt they'll kill him off.

  • Can't wait for E3

  • i dont think theyd kill him off just like that....could be just a clever marketing ploy

  • The latest OXM issue had an article about Mass Effect. It confirmed that you play as Shepard, but they don't know if its permanent. Also, There will be more species joining the party, like Salarian, and the new species shown in this video.

  • Hope shepards not dead.

  • I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but towards the end of the clip, it's actually the Normandy that's all shot to hell and it's hull is open to space - looks like the command deck where the star map was.

  • .. and up in towards the cockpit

  • The Director guy looks a bit like Sylar.

  • I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THAT...

  • ...and then I jizzed in my pants...

  • YUP! Thats exactly what happened to me....

  • w0000t cant wait for this man

  • Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins will be worth playing thats for sure, I would love it if also kotor 3 came out.

  • their actually makeing a old republic mmorpg it takes place a long time after the kotor series. Look at the poeple who made dragon age on wiki, bioworks or somthing and it will be there their latest game.

  • can't wait! w00t

  • thanks, anyways cant wait for it. I wonder if there will be some kind of big awesome war.

  • when its the E3 show thing?

  • June 1st and it lasts about a week or something like that

  • The new alien looks like Abe Sapien from Hellboy

  • I thought the exact same thing.

  • The new alien species look cool! I can't wait for Mass Effect 2! ^w^

  • Wrex is my favorite character

  • I'm hoping that the outfits aren't just the same suit with different colours this time.

  • I WUNTZ IT NAO!

  • WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! at 2:16 is that the sleeping pods from inside the Normandy?!

  • lol damn dude that was awesome, it reminds me of kotor 2 were your ship is almost destroyed and the whole crew is almost dying, I love the darker new plot =] damn I am thinking about switching my college career into video game making.

  • After buying ME1 a few days after it came out, playing through the main story and more I really don't like it. If this is a lot better I might get it though. I love Fo3.

  • The improvements sound good and fun I do hope theres more scenery variation than in Mass Effect (god that games near perfection makes me go nit-picky) i just hope they dont drop the character/relationship building and the dialogue I know many people say there was too much dialogue and I have to agree to a degree but I think its because theres to much talking by NPCs and information thrown at you (think Avina) they could contain about the same amount of dialogue and just make it conversation.

  • Cna't wait for E3, and can't wait till this amazing game comes out!!!!!!!

    Who are those robotic things?

    They're not Geth, maybe they are the Reapers?

  • doubt it, if there were humanoid reapers we probably would have seen them on sovereign, btw exactly when and what is E3 cant say i know (show and awe?)

  • E3 starts really early this year June 1, it stands for electronics entertainment expo!

    :)
