Mass Effect 2 GDC 2009 Combat gameplay

[seensoon]

Who the fuck named it Mass effect 2?

[linzymack]

ps3: better graphics, 360: better games. bottom line.

[Bakutakamine]

Wrong.

[onrev]

LOL its proven that 360's have better graphics, and ps3 has MORE games better is a matter of opinoin

[ultimateblaze23]

acctally elite has the same graphics

[spongeprince123]

everything on the ps3 is better dan the 360, except for the shaders. 360 has better shaders for a more realistic shadow and lightning. besides that, ps3 is much better with bluray, cpu, and cooling system. but all in all, the maximum graphics power for both consoles is not so much of a differnt

[recklesswit2891]

this is the only game i miss from the 360. only have ps3 now.

i searched every bit of every planet on the first one. its got that star wars feeling and superb soundtrack. loved it.

[killerfoot101]

Let me just say something. The PS3 DOES have better graphics. Newer and better hardware. That is just the fact of life. Where the Xbox shines, however, is the games. If the PS3 released all the games that the XBOX360 had, the Xbox would fail. With Project Natal coming up, that is one thing that Sony would definitely be jealous of...And yes, I know Sony is making wand-type motion control. There. That's it. Stop wasting comment space trying to make your point on which one is better. It never ends.

[frzzu]

this is my opinion... each console is special in its own way. problems solved.

[DRL4500]

360 = More games

PS3 = Better Graphic and processing (Noticed this when comparing dmc4 on 360 and ps3, ps3 ran smoother)

Wii= More...family based so more people can play

PC= Has the most games and better graphics but that depends on what your specs are...

[AdmiralMcFish]

Also what makes the 360 more popular is the price. The Ps3 is a great console, but with not as many good games and that price hanging over it, people look for an alternate and unfortunately for Sony that means that many people have "flogged" in a sense to the 360.

[Choderful]

graphics are both good, ps3 much less lighting which makes the graphics much more darker, alot of people like that.... However the 360 has some lighting and gamma is up.... if you maximum lighting then you should play a pc

[oshaugh2209]

Project Anal is gonna be gay lol :P

[TimeSpliTT]

and each one of those games would have 30 fps on the ps3

:P

[brandman231]

this game looks sick yer yessbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyytfufffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffff and all u saddos that vcvommrrrrtttt on this fuck u nkim drunk

[JohnnyHalox]

hahaha 360 rules ps3 sucks

[gninja92]

just cause 360 has this ps3 sucks?

[frzzu]

no, thats just a reaction that a three year old would have in the excitement for something he or she wants, no offense to JohnnyHalox though.

[gninja92]

who's johnny halox? and stop with the sarcasm plz. and why exactly does ps3 suck? every computer engineer who understands how ps3/360 are made will tell you the ps3 is better. just cause th eps3 doesn't have ugly avatars(no offense), and isn't syc with twitter and facebook, doesn't make it ta bad system, sony can put that in, at any time. but the ps3 has other add-ons.

[frzzu]

hey, i didnt mean to offend anyone, i just meant that some people are irrational when it comes to the whole console war thing. but the wii avatars are much more repulsive as oppose to the xbox avatars. oh and johnny halo x is the comment 3 above yours.

[2538088]

ur ancient 360 can suck my dick 360 times...

[Einchy1]

So much trollin'.

[taka3000000o]

can't wait till it comes out

[jmhockeyplaya]

mass effect 2 would be even sicker if it had online

[Henky1234]

No way

[thepwnmaster]

mass effect mmo, imagine the degree of win

[cityslicker202]

your so wrong. by making it an mmo the story would be cut to shreds, as well as gameplay and graphics.

[thepwnmaster]

i'm talking an independent mass effect mmo. and no the story would not be destroyed, if anything the universe would be greatly expanded.

[cityslicker202]

well yea the map and everything would be bigger but it would turn into wow. pointless quests you dont even read. Theres a reason all the good single player games arent multiplayer

[ArmySoldier0470]

I don't think it should be an MMO but just have a 3 player co-op instead, with players choosing which team member they control. Just leave everything as is but 3 player co-op wouldn't be a bad idea instead of AI partners.

[cityslicker202]

yea that would deffinently be cool.

[UnknowHaitian]

then ppl would complain the game was two easy

[UnknowHaitian]

yeah that would be awesome

[ExplorerXofXGibson]

the only improvement i can see is larger environments, which while a much needed improvement won't be enough for me

[adelusionalchili]

fuckin hellllll....

looks exactly the same. i mean cmon....

change it up a bit. the animations look exactly the same.

loved the first one but this is just gonna be the same game over again.

[Einchy1]

Search "Mass Effect 2 Prelude to E3".

[UnknowHaitian]

dude no its not this video is not eb=ven in HD and the Graphic always look better on a HDTV trust me

[msns57]

nice theres cross hairs

[kedrobomb]

ya know, some times, i wish my buddy could come over with his character on a memory card, put it into my 360, press start and then have his character (guns, armor, stats, money ect.) and then we work together and explore planets. Don't get me wrong, mass effect is one of those games where there fun with just one person, but imagine ME having more than one player. It would be insanely fun. (what coop game isn't) the story could be your like old war friends or something. anyway, its just a thought

[scab5000]

a coop game that isnt fun, lets say army of two was a big piece of crap, just my opinion, mass effect single player and thats it no multiplayer should every touch this game, look what they did to KOTOR, now its a lame MMO

[kedrobomb]

its not kotor though. its a different story and everything. It just happens to be made by the same company. and SWTOR looks awesome in my opinion.

[zeplynrulz]

i liked army of two

[frosheet]

This is also early development and these types of things change faster than a toddlers undies.

[uberlyPWNDshow]

Lol, nice simile =P

[Cizcan]

Well they're very childish, I mean. I can't really see them as combat effective.

[Cizcan]

Those are some immature crosshairs.

[ChrisWhyte1987]

how can crosshairs be immature. Sure you mean they look plain shit. I'd agree with you then. Gone are the days where crosshairs were circles on screens.

[Areeani]

theres gonna be alot of new stuff added. new weapons improved guns better story more intense stuff like that but its supposed to be a sequel, not a full blown new game , so im my opinion just improving on ME 1 is good enough for a sequel. and as for if hes dead, theres another video that showes the normandy damaged, possible getting destroyed, my guess is cerberus attacked it and assumed he died with the ship, but in reality he is still alive

[Vanalovan]

if Mass Effect 2 turns out to be a remake or just an upgrade of Mass Effect Im gonna blow a casket. Dont get me wrong Mass Effect was great, I love it, its more addicting for me than Wow, but if I want to play Mass Effect I'LL PLAY MASS EFFECT, every sequel needs innovation no matter how good, and if the UI is exactly the same too for shame BioWare wheres your ambition. (Btw is anyone else worried that the designers might get confused between the difference of cutting dialogue and cutting convo)

[IngushPower]

Shepard isn't dead hes alive

btw, is this mass effect 2?

[Gibsonrocker15]

dont be an idiot. in the interview the creater said he was dead.... why would they lie about that

[Nyktos4444]

Shepard being dead would be stupid. If they wanted to kill him, they would've done it epically at the end of the first one, not in between games. Besides, killing him wouldn't even make sense - since you get to customize characters, the new guy would just be Shepard with a different name.

Maybe he's alive if you transfer data from the first game, and dead otherwise?

[Wolfoftheazuresky]

In the end of the first one shepard goes off into the black to find about reapers and to try to stop them. After not hearing from him and knowing where he's gone, would the alliance/the council not declare him dead to the public to make things easier/to cover it up?

At least that's my theory.

[Vanalovan]

imo the alliance just lists him as dead and your gonna be sheppard in the beginning of the game lost after some accident and trying to get back to the citadel etc etc etc (or some variant of that)

[IngushPower]

Just teasing myself :)

[DRL4500]

The N7 is actually proof of completing the Alliances' hardest training things...or so the codex says :P

[YoungErne]

this sucks

[frosty418]

ok... this is ..... average... but has nobody seen the footage on ign, which shows the real gameplay and show off more interesting thing than a bunch of squares and primary colours

[BrotherOfMetal2]

This is actually some small proof that Shepard is not dead. The yellow/black suite the main character is wearing is the Super Armor cheat from ME1.

[HyperionV13]

I don't really think Shepard's dead, i think the alliance "kill" him off, so the geth stop looking for him so he can do some undercover work, Bioware mentioned Omega, which is like a Citadel for the bad guys in the universe, so most likely Shepard being "dead" can change his ID so he can move more freely in the universe underworld.

[MrRills]

Nice theory hyperion

[DarkestAngel1]

What are peoples thoughts on the thing on the back of the suit, about a minute into the video. Somehting large seems to be hanging to his back. Weither it is a new weapon or not i do not know. Any thoughts?

[DarkestAngel1]

Or During most of the video, not just the one minute marker.

[patmagh]

0:28 = mad cool suit.

[joshhoward4president]

i cant wait till this comes out!!!!

[elipoop123]

i think shepard has to find a way to fry all of the geth processing chips, so they become extnct and the reapers can never leave dark space. thats my theory, as for his "death" i think bioware is doing what they always do, create a silly cliff hanger to lure people into buying the game, as if it wasnt awsome enough already

[SonicthePokemon1337]

I agree. There's no way that you'll play as someone else as they've already said you can continue with you're old save and character. It'll probs be something like he faked his death to lure someone out, or everyone thinks he's dead cause of some prologue thing but actually survived.

[AtlasTitanX]

I hope so.

[DarkSpartan92]

i know that shepard is not dead either i know its a hoax. bioware is just trying to get everybody on edge and its working, shepard is just to kick to die. especially my level 60 vanguard its beast. send me a message if you wish to discuss your thoughts on Mass Effect 1 or Mass Effect 2

[THADI0US]

It might be real, you know to give you the option to use an alien as a character, well you tell me would you like better to just have your old shepard or to be able to use a krogan as a character. I really don't care for my old Shepard.

[KingR3aper]

Apparently in the interview, "Everything they said in the announcement was true, but keep all your saved games/files"

[repenthysins]

So I noticed all the cover. YES! I always found there was never enough cover in Mass 1

[powerfrenzy]

well, i wouldnt want it like gears of war 2, with chest-high walls everywhere.......i thought there was engough cover in 1...

[umathefurry]

yay no lag! :D

[carth101]

whats the story for ME2?

[AsG1989]

best cover ever! look at how much cover the enemies have!

[OLO7]

they need a mech

[excaliburPT]

i hope they improve the cover system.. also they should make the weapons sound and feel more powerful and different from each other.

[Swamy456]

This is the BARE BONES skeletal outline of gameplay. You should have seen the Resident Evil 5 skeleton, all you would have been bitching about that too lol, look how that turned out. The polishing is easy, don't worry about that it'll look great.

[thatwassolastweek1]

looks like improved cover system. damn guy below me are retards

NiNm62: of course i isn't this is really early gameplay footage and i mean before they've made the missions

gcom85: You are also retarded since bioware only make rpgs and 2 we already have millions of shooters.

Brucentelee: this isn't game footage its gameplay but not game footage GOSh

[milleypup12345]

as did anyone catch what that guy was saying only i heard was AI occationaly?

[NiNm62]

tell me that THAT is NOT the hud of the final game. damn man im not gonna guy this if it turns out all colorful and last gen

[johnTRAN93]

i really hope ur kidin...

[NiNm62]

that KIDDIE TOY hud? mass effect 1 had a nice futuristic simple hud, why take a step back

[DeadBonesAlly]

It's just alpha footage they're gona change it, didn't you see how the Mass Effect 1 hud looked in the Alpha footage?

[irockmoonman]

or we could save time and thumb you down

[Vicks007kid]

its footage of early development, they stil have to put things in the game

[gcom85]

i'm glad that they made it more like a shooter and less like an RPG

[johnTRAN93]

go play halo or gears. mass effect is not for you

[brucenatelee]

Not enough things to specify this as having anything new, but since I enjoyed the first game (I never play RPGs more than once, and played this 3 times in a rental), I think I'll enjoy this as well.

[Pwnzor729]

The combat looks to be much improved.

[Einchy1]

Jlarson1980:  Early 2010.

[InfernoSnake]

damn thats too far away.

[elpolloguapo]

Amazon has it as 1/30/10

[perfectshot50]

i cant wait for this even if it's just like the first mass effect.

i want this over bioshock 2 or anything else.

[brucenatelee]

From the video, it does look a little generic with a futuristic look, but if you've played the first game and enjoyed it, you'd probably know how it would play. I personally liked it, even though I didn't use the abilities that much.

[KaasMalibu]

O_o

[spoonmonkey14]

looks good.
