Agreed. The developers said that they were using an unfinished texture map for the new pics. If there is a downgrade, why does the GDC build look and play so much better?

Congrats, you managed to find a bad picture of an unreleased game after everyone else did. Now just read Chris Priestly's response and you'll be caught up with the rest of the cows: claiming damage control and secretly knowing that Mass Effect is going to be amazing.

The textures on that alien are way bad. The developer said this is not indicative of what the final product will look like. I believe them but who knows what it will really look like until you have it playing on your HDTV.

That one has a Gamespy logo on it.

This one has a Bioware logo on it.



I think I will trust the official one a little more.

I'm personally not buying the developers BS about how the pic is from an unfinished portion of the game. Why would Bioware release a crappy looking pic to Gamespy knowing it would cause controversy? I'm sure the game will look a lil better when it's complete but I bet it won't look as nice as everyone is expecting. Downgrade approved!!!

There are bad Resistance and MGS4 shots. Thus MGS4 and Resistance are downgrades. There are bad shots for every game. Get over it.

So? I couldn't care less about a small alleged "downgrade" in graphics. I never cared about the graphics in this game at all. >_>

Thank you for trolling, in addition to making yourself look foolish seeing as Bioware said on their forums that those screens were taken from an unoptimized build of the game. Don't be too hard on yourself;)

Why don't we wait for all games to release before claiming downgrade?  This include Halo 3 and MGS4 as well.

Show me how it's denial or shut up. That's the same as shouting "Damage Control" without showing any legit proof. There are PLENTY of bad MGS4 screenshots, and your logic is so easy to twist and burn it's pathetic.

And I quote-

Chris Priestly
Community Coordinator, Bioware

I know this is how you feel, but boy this sort of comment just burns my onion.

The game, graphics, sound, whatever has not been "dumbed down". You don't know Mass Effect yet because it isn't done yet. The screenshots you see are actual, in game footage screenshots. This means that if the build that they were taken in doesn't have optimization (which very little does atm) or correct texture renders (same thing) then things don't look great yet. Certainly not how they will look by the time the game is shipped.

Either we can release no new images and screenshots (which you all clamor for and want more of), or we can release them like this and we get "Wow, you guys really dumbed down the game". Maybe instead of making up your mind about how "dumbed down" the game has been, you should try to keep an open mind until the game is done? Just a thought.

Now that that is out of the way, any other questions?


Edit: Like the difference in comments between Ginga-Rothman and Dollar Tann. One seems more willing to wait and see, the otehr is all doom and gloom. *sigh*

http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=556573&forum=104&sp=15

Fanboys...There is a little process of making a game called DEVELOPMENT, in which a game doesn't have all of its final polish and effects because they are working on actual aspects of the game. Bioware is simply secure enough that they can release screens of their game, but apparently their security is unfounded because fanboys refuse to grasp this concept and can't think beyond the first thing that pops into their head.

A reminder to all the rabid fanboys here:

Only finished products matter!

I swear, fanboys will claim ownage by looking at pictures of storyboards.

Damage control!!!! Btw, you seem upset. Don't worry, I'm sure Microsoft will replace your 360 again once it breaks down once more. I'm surprised my 8 month old 360 has not broken down. Probably because I don't use it for hours on end. Who knows?

absolutely. It seems the cows are on the offensive after last weeks debacle of letting DMC4 get away. The rest of the next gen console war will be cows being on the offensive until Lemmings come down with amazingly bad news like DMC4 losing exclusivity or something along those lines and Lemmings will have a party for a few days and then get bored and stop caring until PS3 officially failed in North America. Its a vicious cycle.
