neoadorable Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 nice, and will get it for sure. as for the exclusivity, that doesn't matter. those without 360's can get it on the PC, and those who don't game on either...well, life goes on as they say.

Emn1ty Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 The trailer really makes me want to play, seeing as the writing for the game's story only seems to be improving. Go to so much effort to create and maintain a character in the game and BAM! he's dead in game two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Awesome :) now just have to wait another year now :( oh well, we all know it will be worth the wait :woot: I'm buying it soon as it releases :happy: The trailer really makes me want to play, seeing as the writing for the game's story only seems to be improving. Go to so much effort to create and maintain a character in the game and BAM! he's dead in game two. We don't know that, there has been much discussion here on Neowin about that. I seriously doubt Shepard is dead as he/she is suppose to be the main character for all 3 games....little hard if he's/she's dead now isn't it? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Haze Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Just gives me the urge to replay for the 4th (or is it 5th now?) time. This game's sucked away more of my time than any other in the past five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terroradagio Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I bet we'll see Mass Effect come to PS3 since it is EA now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I bet we'll see Mass Effect come to PS3 since it is EA now. I don't think so, EA have been really good to BioWare with regards to Mass Effect 2. Not only are they giving them the time they need to make it as great as possible, they brought in more people to help. I think the announced platforms are all it will be released on and considering how much of a pain the PS3 is to program for AND that the 360 is the lead platform (I think?) they are doing us a huge favor keeping the PS3 out of it.

Even if he isn't dead there is no guarantee that he will actually be the main character in this game. For all you know they will take your save data and construction of Shepard and make him the guy you track down and "join up" with or, inevitably, kill. There are alot of story possibilities that this trailer eludes to, many of which are very welcome in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your right, but BioWare staff have been hinting towards Shepard being the main character for all 3 games. You have some interesting theories there and it would make for an interesting game if they hold true, still as you said we really dunno (but sure can't wait to find out!).

Noveed Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 im positive Bioware said hold onto your gamesaves from the First mass effect as you can continue your character and jump straight into the game so you must be able to play as sheppard. This game is going to be soo good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted March 19, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted March 19, 2009 Mass Effect was good but I hated the fact that you had to run around finding and then talking to lots of people in order to progress. The levels weren't easy to get around! Let's hope they made Mass Effect 2 a bit less draggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasty2k2 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Im just glad its being done by the same people who did the first one. Rather than see a franchise possibility and usher in absolutely everything they can to try and make it sell more, theyve left the original team as-is (so I hear) and let them get on with it, offering them more people if needed etc. Not bothering with the PS3 wont hurt sales immensely, compared with the cost on developing for it, and will get the game out the door quicker. More money movement is just what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
