Epiphany Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Mass Effect (MGS-BioWare Corp.): Set 200 years in the future in an epic universe, Mass Effect places gamers in a vast galactic community in danger of being conquered by a legendary agent gone rogue. A spectacular new vision from legendary developers BioWare, Mass Effect challenges players to lead a squad of freedom fighters as they struggle against threatening armies to restore peace in the land. Mass Effect is the first in a trilogy of games with an overarching story, where the real conflict between organic beings and artificial intelligence comes to life in startling clarity.

Squad of freedom fighters almost made it sound like a FPS or Squad based tactical game. It does sound intriguing, although I'm assuming it'll still be another 3 or 4 years away.

Baley Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Wouldn't it be like totally awesome if PNJ was in fact Mass Effect 2.
Musopticon? Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) ^Like totally, dude. The premise sounds interesting, if not clich Edited October 4, 2005 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Meh. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Musopticon? Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Well, on the other hand it's a Bio game, so I'm not too hyped. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=61150 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bioware, of course, was the developer responsible for the two Knights of the Old Republic Star Wars RPGs that helped give the Xbox real credibility in that genre, as well as the more recent Jade Empire. Do the people writing these articles not have a clue what they're talking about?

Guest Fishboot Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Is this totally out of left field? Has there been work going into it at Bio on the down-low?
Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 1. It better be a RPG. 2. If it has FPS aspects, it be better much improved comapred to what we saw in BL's attempt at the combo if stats and FPS style combat. 3. Since it sounds like it'll be a squadron ie. party based game the rules should have variancy so characters can differ. 4. It better have dialogue, and othe rnon combat skills like stealth, computer use, and the like. 5. It better have a dwarf like race. Game over. P.S. GOA: I noticed that too. They are stupid. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Has there been work going into it at Bio on the down-low? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not totally out of left field for those that have been big time Bioware freaks. It's been common knowledge (while unofficial) that their next game was a FPS using the UE3 set in a Sci-Fi setting.
Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Confirmed by a Biorep: It's an action RPG. I hope it's action RPG ala JE not ala BGDA though. Screenshots Here: http://media.xbox360.ign.com/media/718/718963/imgs_1.html Looks good graphically; but nothing that makes me go,"WOWSERS!"

Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 That's not a dwarf. It's a tin can. Doesn't count though I've been given a pretend promise that they'll try to add a 'dwarf character'. R00fles! P.S. Stop your whining, Kaftan. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Sure. That must explain Dragon Age. And, the PM expansion for NWN which is going on 4 years old. Yup, PC is dying. Uhuh. Sure. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Volourn Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 It's supposedly more JE than anything. Lots of dialogue, and stuff he said to be semi exact. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
