2009-11-03 23:29:32 In reply to BLackHawkodst (2009-11-03 14:18:47) Posted by BLackHawkodst Hmmm hope this is true? The 'Microsoft Expert Zone' quiz for retailers, which wasn't supposed to be seen by our mortal, non-Gamestation manager eyes, mentions downloadable characters, combat content and full episodic expansions for the sequel. The 'quiz' also lists weapon and armor packs, new downloadable worlds as well as "full campaign expansions for download." It also mentions that Mass Effect 2 will see "periodic updates," which will feature DLC, via Mass Effect 2's unannounced in-game "Cerberus Network". It's all well and good on paper (or computer screen, in this case) but let's pray BioWare actually manages to get it out this time, as opposed to the first Mass Effect's disappointing DLC turnout. --- |

2009-11-04 12:27:37 Click the "Play Video" next to the below quote on the EB website, you also see a breif clip of an awesome looking space station not before seen. M-490 Blackstorm: The Blackstorm encases a few particles of matter within a high-powered mass-increasing field, elevating them to near-infinite mass and creating a powerful localized gravity well that draws nearby enemies and objects into itself. The rapidly-increasing gravity near the event horizon of the singularity rips the objects apart. --- |

2009-11-05 10:20:37 Guess who's back!! - http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14235013/mass-e... One question lingered: What happened to the old crew? Not to worry. They're all coming back in some form -- assuming you managed to keep them alive in Mass Effect -- to round out a complete cast of 10 total supporting characters. Recently, I got the chance to see this for myself in a new demo that showed off the triumphant return of the turian we know as Garrus. The spiked drink is an example of a non-directed part of the game. It's the beginnings of a sub-plot that isn't necessarily pointed out to players that don't do a bit of exploring, Hudson explained. Anybody curious enough to try a drink at the Afterlife bar will find themself whisked away into an unmarked side-quest on a hunt for the bastards that slipped you a Mickey. Other side-quests like this might be waiting for anybody that does a bit of poking around. That side-quest wasn't part of our demo, unfortunately. Instead, the demo continued with the re-introduction of Garrus. "I thought you were dead," the oft-heard line in Mass Effect 2, is amongst the first things out of his mouth. The mangled, scarred, almost robotic jaw-line on Shepard tells part of that tale without any elaboration needed, though it seems word of Shepard's supposed death has reached nearly every corner of the galaxy. That jaw, we're told, has a few potential looks -- a system arising from a great trauma experienced at the outset of the story. BioWare won't get any more specific than that, and I'm not sure I want them to just yet. Sounds like we can expect Mass Effect 2 to open with a bang. There isn't much time for catching up with Garrus. There is just enough, in fact, for a gratuitous camera pan to showcase his awesome armor. It's the same shiny blue as it was in Mass Effect, and he's still sporting the fancy Last Starfighter-inspired monocle, but the visual overhaul the armor has seen makes it look so much better. While you're oohing and aahing at his outfit, he informs Shepard that he is in the midst of a coordinated assault. It's time for Shepard to do his thing. The fight breaks out, first with little grunts but then escalating to a massive mechanical beast called YMIR Mech and a boss named Jaroth. The visual effects have really been ramped up for the sequel. There's not just more on the screen -- it's flashier and faster. The game runs without a hitch and without any of that nasty texture pop-in that plagued the last game, even after a quick load into a new area. The second thing I learned is that the battle system feels even more refined than it did when I last played Mass Effect 2 at E3 over the summer. Yes, there's an auto-regeneration system in place now, but that doesn't make it a cake walk. Ammunition levels must be maintained through picking up drops from downed enemies. Medi-gel is still needed, too, as you can't cast the Unity revive power without it. Moving in and out of cover, lining up head-shots, activating powers and commanding the squad mates all feels like second nature. There's a lot less fumbling around now. It's simply better. That last line pretty much describes all of Mass Effect 2 for me so far. Now that the team has tackled the technical issues, it's just better all around. --- |

2009-11-09 23:01:47 I haven't seen any ME2 videos since E3 but I've seen some some occasional screenshots here and there, what I saw there was great and makes me interested how it'll all come together. Oh, truthfully I watched two character reveal videos as well (Grunt and Subject Zero), they weren't so good but I'm hyped nonetheless. --- |

2009-11-11 19:28:24 Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey folks, The Nov 12 episode of Gametrailers TV (on Spike) will be completely dedicated to Mass Effect 2! 30 mins of ME2 goodness, including interviews with Casey Hudson and lots of new information. And not as many spoilers as you might fear (I feel like I always have to add that caveat now). It will include the reveal of an all new recruitable squad-mate character (who is proving to be one of the favorites internally!), and some first looks at the changes to one of our character classes - including some amazing new power/combat footage. For anyone who is looking forward to ME2, this is not to be missed! If you don't get Spike you will be able to view it on Gametrailers.com --- |
