  • lol Garrus doesn't care about humans here.

  • I'm really glad they redesigned it before release. 

  • They gave away the basic plot about the reapers in the first minute of this vid!??! Wow I'm glad I didn't watch this before I played.....

  • Man, this goes to show what progress looks like. Glad they re-did Ashley's voice. In here she sounds like she was played by one of the bioware exec's sons or something.

  • By the Goddess, look at that galaxy map! It's so freaking beautiful. I want the galaxy map in ME 3 to look like that...

  • Jesus. Ashley sounds like a drug addict or somthing in that way.

  • Interesting idea with switching between squadmates...but i prefer the current setup...

  • Damn... Garrus was ugly back then.

  • This looks so much better than the release version. The interface looks brilliant.

    I also saw another vid showing gun-mounted flashlights and environmental destruction.

    What a shame they didn't keep the interface and that BioWare probably didn't implement the destruction physics because UE3.0 PhysX only works properly on nVidia cards.

  • this is soo cool but mass effect isnt like this this is much cooler! and in mass effect you cannot switch to your squadmates

  • @HellTr00per you can in ME1 but not ME2

  • Is it me or was that cool "shoot the bar tender moment" not in the final game?

  • Call me when the play graphics look as good as the unplayable "Movie scenes".

  • As far as I can tell this "demo" is better than the game we have today. I wonder how they came to totally remaking the interface and characters.

  • A lot of stuff they cut out of the beta is reappearing in the sequel.

  • Yeah, it was basically because it was buggy as hell at first.

  • Wow this just gave away the reapers, lol.

  • I don't quite understand. Is this Mass Effect 1? I know there are coming out with a number 2 sometime this year. I have Mass Effect 1, but it's nothing like this... Can anyone help me out? What is this?

  • This was an early version - slightly lower res textures and different aesthetics for the galaxy map etc.

  • This is just a demo version, they just changed most of the stuff because they thought it would make a better game, or cut certain features, I'm guessing to save disk space. Some features will come back, like the interrupt feature, which we'll see in ME2.

    In the actual game this planet is the planet Liara is on. I think it went through a lot of changes in development - the planet is now called Therum, no sign of human miners, etc.

    I liked the old galaxy map though, it seemed really futuristic.

  • Best game ever........ and I mean it.

  • I just wish that they came out with more downloadable content...I was a little disappointed in that departent.

  • im thinking about getting this game...is it any good?

  • It it any good? Its one of my favorite games. The PC version had a good deal of bugs (don't know about the XBOX) but its been playing fine for me. The side missions are repetative (although optional) but the core of the game is epic and insanely fun. I recommend it to any RPG fans.

  • Ah nice. Im a big fan of KOTOR 1 aswell as Jade Empire so I expect to enjoy this. Thanks a lot.

  • No problem, I was a big fan of NWN and KOTOR(as well). This game is a little bit different in play (because its also based on your playing ability, not just how well you make a character) but Bioware has yet to disapoint me (Obsidian has, but not BW).

  • dude dont think get it now

  • Cannot frickin wait for Mass Effect 2. The first was great, though a bit of a let down from what was shown here.

  • How?.. without ruining any surprises and stuff for me as i've just ordered the damn thing :P

  • Graphics bugs, repetitive environments, and not as polished as the demo here.

    Still a fantastic game, just was clearly in need of another six months of development.

    Still gets a 9/10 from me. I have played it about 50 hours.

  • You can't cut people off or control the conversation like the video implies.

  • OMFG Ashleys voice here is HORRIBLE

  • Oh man we got cheated out of a cooler galaxy map. I thought the PC version was a huge improvement but hell, it looks like a LOT got left on the cutting room floor. I mean, look at how much meaner those armatures looked.

  • They really threw me off with the "imporvements" they made in the final game.

    The interfaces on this trailer were great, while the ones in-game were just so drab and blue it makes not want to pause the game.

    It makes me kinda sad that so many good features were cut before release.

    Really a shame.

  • yea they really took out alot of crap in the real game

    but think about this this might be a demo for the pc

    witch is usualy always better because of the fact pc's can be upgraded

    and then again this interface probubly had to many bugs in it or something

    but we will all have to wait and see what the mass effect 2 has in store because i have played thougth the first one 4 times and i want more more more

  • They should have kept this design for the galaxy map

  • dayumm... this video makes the game look a thousand times more insane than how it really is. they should have kept all the things they had in the trailer; I've beaten the game three times but this 2006 demo makes me pretty disappointed

  • Anybody notice that Ashley sounds a lot like Tommy Pickles from the Rugrats in this trailer?

  • She does! This trailer must be from early stages from the game, because a lot of this stuff is different. Also, the person, girl, in fact, who played Tommy from "Rugrats" is named E.G. Daily.

  • what class is he on this video, i chose solider

  • I'd assume that he's an adept with proficiency in assault rifles...

  • I think that's a Vanguard, which is just an Adpet with a few more tech abilities and can use pistols and shotties.

  • good call. I don't know why I said Assault rifle when hes clearly using a shottie...

  • reminds me alot of the Halo 2 disappointments created because of their trailer.

  • this make me disappointed in mass effect i love that game and never saw this, if it evean had half this stuff it would have been awesome

  • i hope you can shoot the aliens/people who want to commit idolatry

  • I bought this game, because of this trailer (and others like it). The convorsation interaction was one of the main selling points for me. And then i bought it and was like 'Hey I can't interupt people. Also has anyone noticed that sometimes no mater what dialog option you choose Sheperd says the samething! WTF?!! Why bother giving an option? But still, a good game, just was expecting more.

  • I agree. I'm around 7 hours into the game, and I like it a lot so far, but I wish they kept the interrupting part, and it's true there are a lot of useless dialog options.

  • When the main story lines end dose the game end to or can you go around a little free?? And is it a destrutive (sorry for my english) envaiorment?

  • It kills me how they changed the conversation system. That fact that you could interrupt a squad member and essentially tell him to shut the fuck up was a degree of realism I would have loved.

  • Here's one way you can do that. Just select that conversation for Shepard, the system will disappear, the character will still keep talking, press A, and watch.

    I might not always work easily, but it's just an idea. Well, maybe you've already thought up about it.

  • Damn,the Galaxy Map interface is 10x better than the current final one. Looks like it may appear in ME2 though.

  • Yes, you're right. I'm a bit disappointed, I must say. It still kicks booty, but, you know, not as much :)

  • can you go to earth on that game

  • No, you cannot.

  • oh holy fuck, shepperd look so polishish, he looks so much better in the game, and Ash's voice, oh holy fuck that was gay lolz.

    and that gun at the geths Collossos's mouth! haha, i almost pissed my shitty pants lol.

  • It's gay how the changed the galaxy map interface. Stupid of them to do that. This one looked way better. More interesting to look at.

  • they changed it?

  • Wow, the interface for the galaxy map changed quite a bit since this video was made. Good choice, actually...this looked really confusing.

  • Haha the girls voice is the voice of Dizzy Florez from Starship Trooper Chronicles... awesome.

  • ok first why do u ramble on about something i dont know ...oh wait you playing your 360 all your dam life "who" obvious needs to lrean not to fucking ramble on about squirrel and am just telling the truth about sad poeple like you who spends everyday on silly games

  • this is the gayest arguement i have ever heard. stop embarassing people who play video games

  • hahahahahahahahahaahahhahahaha­

  • Nice joke!! Fuck the robot, fuck the squirrel, and FUCK PS3!!!

  • yeah i agree... i play them myself, but i do have a life, lol...

  • sure one thing dont add up tho when i looked tho these comments what sexymymonkey said the other stupid prick joins in the one called gearhe1d sooo that means your just some sad little boy who owns two acc's for some reason maybe cuz when he make a gay comment he has a other acc to back the gay kid up .... look u know am rite so go fuck yourself

  • Thank goodness they changed ashley's voice!

  • Seriously...I woulda killed myself if I had to listen to this voice for the whole game.

  • hahahaha

  • lots of that demo didn't make it to the game. The lighting, the cutting off people. I hope they put a little more in the second one. Because that was very ambitious

  • i think halo is a little better

  • ive played halo3 and gotta say its a sweet game, but there is more hype about it than there should be, and this game looks totally bad ass, but im gonna have to play it for myself before i can make a conclusion about which is better

  • if it wants to top halo 3. they would have to turn back time and try to do what halo did in a day. wich as far as i can see wont be happening.

  • Halo 3 is THE worst game ever, and I don't know why every1 thinks it's sooooog od, its repetitive and boring..

  • definitely true! I'm so glad that games like Mass effect and Bioshock are winning games of the year over Halo. Halo's gotten way too repetitive and is still run and gun, with no depth.

  • the game story is waay different from the book. charachters are missing/added and in the book, shepherd has no dark matter powers.

    its a mix of halo-SG:atlantis-battlestar galactica- and snowblind

  • why? because Shepard is there.

  • there's a book??! sweet!

  • Did they compleetly leve out the interface that the guy in the video used to position his team mates? The most control i fount in the game were the commands wit the D-pad and the weapons and powers wheels.

  • yea really, I cant choose between characters - I played that same level and the only character I've had control ova the entire game so far is Shepard - they got rid of the interface, along with the galaxy map (its 2D instead of 3D)

  • loving this game

  • yeah it will tear down halo

  • no, it wont

  • yes, it will

  • I heared this game is gona top out halo 3.

  • this game looks good i mite get it

  • omg this game looks well mint

  • omg, the voices in trailer suck balls!!

  • Wow. The final game is nothing like this.

  • Aw weak - I thought this would be a fight engine like KOTOR. It kinda is like halo.

  • more like gears of war

  • rip of halo. are u fuckin retarded. its like saying virtua fighter is a ripoff of fucking NBA 2k7. totally unrelated u dumb fuck.

  • thabk01 u r a stupid cock suckin homo with no life who replyz to manz commentz buddy go jack off to gay porn and still stnadz mass effect is a rip of halo u flyin homo fuck over tha moon BOMB!

  • funny, u say i have no life for replying , but u go on a video of something u dont even like in the first place just so u can talk shit. and u top it off by ending things in "z"s like some fucking gay ass. btw homo fuck over the moon? what the fuck is that? lame piece of shit.

  • well your just another pathetic fuckhead arent ya? Use whatever brain cells you have to understand how stupid you really are and see the DIFFERENCES.

  • Wow everyone can tell your about 8

    years old, you probely feel bad because you cant afford the

    game so you just say its crap, but on the inside you know its good.

  • i have killed saron!!!!

  • i just got this game on 360.

    its great,but they changed it alot from this demo.

  • go to bed

  • if u hate it so much why did u waste ur time commenting it

  • if you hate him so much why did you waste your time commenting him?! AND WHY THE HELL AM I COMMENTING YOU! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

  • cuz u fuckin wasted ur time commenting me u dumbfuck

  • if u hate me than why does he hate people commenting about hating things that hate

  • um... btw chief is a human, he's just biologically enhanced, the bioshock character is 100% human, the powers come from injected "Adam" and the Gears of war guy is just a beefy white guy with massive armor and a chainsaw assault rifle, all humans :)

  • how do u switch different charactars wat controlls do u have to use???

  • ment to be a very good game not my type of game though the most i would go to wiht aliens would be halo

  • this game looks ok... not really my type of game. dont get me wrong, im sure this game will probably be a great hit

  • i have a question and i hope i get responses. whats with the 360 and fps with non humans. eg. halo 3, bioshock?, this game, gears etc.

  • Coz they are good games :)

  • yea theyre good but why not make a game with humans and no other creatures or what ever for once?

  • i dont know but what has Mass Effect and Gears Of War got to do with FPS's? and just because you would prefer the majority of games to only have humans in doesnt mean everyone else does

  • masterbater88 your an idiot

  • lol stop saying keep up the good work bioware, EA owns them so bioware will now have their liccense under EAs name giving EA credit =( im sad lol :(

  • CANT STOP ADDICTED TO THE SHINDIG

  • your a dumbass masterbater88... of course bioware will get accredited for this game.. just cause ea produces there projects doesnt mean there chopped liver... does not apple work the same way with mac.. think about it

  • your an idiot masterbater88

  • hey ivr56, bioware dont own mass effect anymore, EA studios does, so you should be saying EA wont lket anyone down lmao

  • This is completely Bioware. The game has no mentions or ties to EA. You probably don't have a 360 and are trying to make the game seem stupid by showing that one of the best RPG creators got bought out.

  • ya i have a 360 dont believe it go to my namertag crocodileman88 and im saying ea has bought bioware and the other one so even tho bioware made it they will have all other games made by them licensed under EA and why would i be saying this is a dumb game? oblivion is my favorite game, RPG's are my favorite sooo ya learn something before you say it

  • is this game like only missions or is like go where you want when you want

  • THe video just told you..go where you want.

  • oh no! now I hav 2 wait almost 2 days 2 play it,I'll never make it.

  • I'm pissed. I want this game so bad. But My 360 is on the fritz. I must have pissed someone off or something.

  • Bioware never lets anyone down on the xbox, Jade empire and KOTOR, two of the best, now its

    Mass Effect's turn

  • w00t mass effect in 3 DAYS W00T I CANT WAIT

  • oh and in my last post i forgot to say this game looks amazing and keep up the good work bioware!

  • Mass Effect looks pretty good. Pity I don't have a 360.. Here's hoping they make a decent port for the PC some time soon.

  • Why do people fight about the best console its so annoying just get what console is best for you i must admit this great game for 360 probably beat haze in my oppinion but i don't dis ps3 like some shits my m8 has ps3 i think it's awesome i have 360 i think 360 awesome theyre both good and if u want proof get both none is betetr than other.

  • I seriously agree with u man and every other person who posteed the same thing on this sight nice to see there is some maturity still out there

  • ill show YOU maturity!

  • You people are fucking pathetic. There are way to many xbox360 fanboys in my opinion that just shut down sony in anyway possible. It looks to me that sony is stepping its game up in 2008 and it will come back up. Just like the ps2 did. 360 is a great console and always will be. Both evenly matched consoles with there pros and cons. stop the fucking war, its pathetic.

  • WTF? what is this?, neither is shit. Both are awesome pieces of hardware in their own right. Your fighting like 2 year olds. Get over it kids or else this will never end. Both consoles have strengths and weakness.

  • dude how badass was that fucking shotgun?

  • im not here to dis the ps3 cause i think its an awesome concept cause i loevd and owend the ps1 thogut the ps2 was rad and the xbox(original was awesome) im just so happy for all the fall games that came and are coming out for the 360 halo 3, assassins creed, mass effect, cod 4

  • all of u ps3 noobs can shut up. Resistance is only a take on gears of war, ps3 saw how many copies it sold and tried to then make the same game. but they made a shitty FPS with no story. Also to other xbox fans, we have gears of war 2 due for realese!!, halo wars, mass effect. We got stranglehold before PS3 and we got Skate. before u lot. Also xbox elite owns da PS3's ass, more memory, better graphics and it's cheaper!!!!  What more could u want.

  • lmfao! better graphics?! suk my balls. ps3 has the best graphics of any console. end of story.

    thts it im done with this bullshit.

  • i'm working for Microsoft since 2002 , i was working on xbox 360,and before it i was working for Nokia.Xbox 360 isn't better or worse that da ps3...damn..when will u understandthat they are DIFFERENT..Xbox 360 is twice stronger in graphics..but it sucks in simple things like...like cooling for exemple..It doesn't mean that ps3 is worse..ps3 is also fuckin' awesome console which is fuckin' powerfull..i'll give u a lil' exemple : Which is better ? Mercedes s600 or BMW 750 ? ...Both are good.

  • Wow dude. This message screams fanboy. No offense but get over yourself and the 360. I think you should look into the fact for how many mature people have a ps3 because they look to the future and what it could bring. Not saying the 360 is bad but it is obvioulsy not the best ever and you need to realize that.

  • Wow u talk about the future but u fail to see that like all other consoles before them both the 360 and the ps3 will be replaced with something better so i don't know why every1 is fighting because no matter what u say something better is coming out than both of them!

  • haha wat a load of bullshit

    360 owns you and your piece o shit playstation

  • ok wait a sec...you think all we got is shadowrun and halo 3? even if that were true thats 2 more games than ps3's got

    seriously wat good games are for the ps3 alone? the correct answer would be 0

    and at least I dont have to pay out the ass for an xbox and then not even have online and have no good origional games

  • list the top 3 ps3 games in your opinion and top 3 xbox...

  • Oh, this video is about a year old, the game has gotten MUCH better since then... not that it looks to shabby in this state. Top 3 360 games... Bioshock Halo 3 Gears of War HM: Shadowrun Top PS3 Resistance Heavenly Sword Lair Note that those three games all fell short of expectation Also, 360 is getting Too Human, Mass Effect, and much more!
  • ok first of all lair sucked balls. and halo3 wasnt that great either. that fell short of expectation also because wen u hype something that much, its never going to live up to your expectations.

    o yea, the ps3 has unreal tournament 3, haze, and mgs4!

    so put that in you pipe and smoke it!

  • well Unreal Tournament 3 is also coming to 360. And um 360 did manage to pry Ace Combat 6 and Devil may cry from PS3. I mean fucken Ace Combat has been with sony since PSX, lol. And now its xbox exclusive and 360 is selling in truckloads in Japan, lol.

  • uh, this game looks like sex... go buy a 360, well worth the doejo.

  • AMEN!

  • Am i the only one that thinks Halo is the most overrated game in the world?!

    There's nothing special about it! It's just a creative FPS in my opinion. Mass Effect looks awesome though!

  • Im wit it! This game looks really raw... this and Assassins Creed are must gets for me!

  • this game looks cla

  • i can't wait for this game, Bioware is the best rpg developers in the world

  • GETH ARMATURE AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Dragon Age is on track to rock the world. I was at BioWare's studios on Monday and Dragon Age stuff was everywhere. You won't be disappointed. I promise.

  • thank god for that

  • BioWare should have picked up black isle when they went out of buiseness

  • Halo is something you will keep playing but it doesn't addict you like some games.

  • i do halo 3 sucks ass i loved the other halos but they made me think that halo 3 was going 2 be crazy but it wasnt

  • halo 3 is shit!!!! does anyone agree

  • i just had a ton of fun playing halo 3 with friends so the answer is no

  • Halo 3 isnt shit on my point of view but it is BORING AS HELL now

  • i agree i think its shit & i hope theres no more of halo!

  • star fox 64 anyone

  • LOL!

  • Hope we gonna see twin or triple solar systems, a solar system with 1 or more suns :) They exist in our real life scientic exploration and in the star wars galaxy :)

    guess the blue one that was in one of the ME videos here was a proton star, and the yellow, somewhat larger and warmer than our sun :0
