To wait until our Gamersyde Diaries, here are the first five minutes of Mass Effect as we discovered them during the parisian presentation of the game. These five minutes take place just after the character creation phasis, and here we have the pleasure to control a "charming" lady wearing audacious make-up.

game looks great and all but the voice acting is kind of mediocre. like that guy from saints row (who is also in requim for a dream) and seth greens voice. couldnt they find better voice actors? but i did like how they got carth from KOTOR's voice to be in this game. he was pretty good.

I agree. The 360 has a hell of a fall/holiday line up. A line up better than any other gaming platform, console, PC or handheld.

By a mile. This is murder.
Sorry Sony, no breaks for you this Holiday. The ass kicking is coming full force.

They referred to her as "he".... For such a detailed game, changing the male/female references shouldnt be overlooked!
The face animations look fantastic!

Where does this happen? Every time I heard of a gender reference, it was "she."

There's one reference where I think you might have gotten it mistaken where one of the pilots say how he, the captain, always sounds pissed. The ship's captain is Captain Anderson (the older male character featured as a main character in the book and voiced by Keith David), whereas your character is Commander Shepard.

I was pretty impressed by the dialog. It seemed reasonably lifelike. Funny, though, that the savior of humanity wears black lipstick in this instance.

Looking at this intro vid, I have no worries that the 360 offers and will offer every bit as much on the graphics front as the console competition for the near future . This is visually stunning. Some of the best stuff I've seen on 360. Doesn't just hold its own against other 360 titles but exceeds them all IMO. This should inspire other developers for what is possible on 360 hardware. KOTOR had me scared away from this game ( I disliked KOTOR mightily and returned it 48 hours after purchase, didn't like the turn based angle) But from what I've seen, this game is going to be a sleeper hit. Sleeper meaning I don't think it has the hype of a Killzone2, MGS, Halo, COD4, etc. There is a buzz behind this game, but if the game plays as good as it looks, it will/could surpass COD4, Team Fortress2, Bioshock, & Halo3 for game of the year.
