cool can't wait

Mirror: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_7828_en.html

loved the 1st one, cannot wait for the sequel. Looks HOT!

After I saw the video earlier it made me want to play the first one again and I think I will this weekend.

I can't wait for this game.

"The number one thing that we were shooting for in Mass Effect 2 was intensity."

I hoped it would be no ******* elevators.

Only one word cand describe this:

Epic.

If this comes out in 2009, it will be my GOTY. "Heavy weapons" system? "Kill them a thousand times." *grunts*

"Darker story, setting and presentation." "Wild west styIe, warlords, etc." Oh my.

Ok, that's it. Im hyping this AAA :D Maybe even AAAA if they fix all of the issues with the first game. Call me crazy! 8)

ME1 was the last time i played my 360 and when ME2 is released it will probably be the first time iv played my 360 since i completed the first. although if the PC release is within a month or so of the console release i will probably pick it up on that.

Here's some screens from the video.

i found the first one way to boring played it for 30 mins and havent touched it since. i really wanted to like it but i just couldnt get into it at all

It looks amazing. I can't wait!

Epic 'stash.

Absolutely loved the first one, bar the barren planets with nothing to do, but that is just nit pickery. Cannot wait.

Is your life that boring?

how is his life boring? he was reminded how great a game was, and decided he wanted to enjoy it again. Care to elaborate or just trolling?

The one idea that has me sold is taking your save data from the original ME and transfering it over to ME2.

o plzzzz the first one had major combat problems the secondary planets where boring dungen crawling type levels infact everything about the game was boring

Awesomeness. I just hope it comes out for the PC at the same time. :)

Will get (far) superior PC version.loco145

I don't see how anyone can find Mass Effect boring. Fallout 3 is more boring than this.

Leagues more boring. Mass Effect has an excellent story. Fallout 3 left me with a dry taste in my mouth.....like I drank a glass of sand.

NO SMALL TEXT PLEASE!!!!!

No.....small...text.

I'm not really sure how longer load times, lower resolution, bad pop-in, and less key shortcuts equates to "superior version"....

Shouldn't that title say "looks like another AA rpg for the 360, and AAA for the PC"? :P

But yeah, looks good. My main complaints about the first game were story- and character-related (the characters lacked personality, the plot failed to live up to its hype, etc.) though, so this video doesn't particularly excite me.

Also, while I like cross-game consequences...with as many as two of three characters potentially out of action, I'm a bit worried that those characters won't feature prominantly in the game. I didn't like how ME1's characters were mostly interchangable, aside from a few key plot points, so I want to see characters *do* things (I mean, aside from a tiny sidequest each, Tali and Garrus don't actually say/do anything at all after joining, Wrex only has one 'unique' moment...only Ashley, Kaiden and Liara actually seem to be relevant to the plot, and two of those basically serve the same role).

Meh, I'll probably buy it anyway, but it would be nice to hear how Bioware are improving/fixing the role playing.

Wow. I'm at half-mast just thinking about how awesome ME2 will be.

I adore the main quest and how it's presented, but almost everything outside of that is so incredibly lazy.

That was my only real complaint with the first one. Overall though, I absolutely loved the game itself. Hopefully they will add more varied side quests with more to do on other planets and I can see this game turning out to be a well rounded masterpiece.

Something interesting in the video:

[spoiler] Those robot looking enemies had "M1" on them, which IIRC should be the equivalent of an Alliance (human) Marine private (for example Shepard is an N7, which is the highest rank of special forces). Seems like Cerberus is planning a coup against the Alliance. And in case you're wondering yes, I have played too much Mass Effect. [/spoiler]

i dont really think you can call it lazy, if bioware took the time to fill every planet with a side story like quest and a city/outpost the game would still be in development now. the info you could find out about the races, planets, history, technology etc was quite extensive, it may have been alot to read but if you took the time it added so much depth to the story. i do agree with the Mako complaints though but considering everything else was pretty good i can forgive it.AGMing

You can't play too much Mass Effect! :P Anyways, I'm so excited to see the sequel to my favorite game this gen :D!

This game is going to tear up any year it releases in, the sequal to my GOTY 07. I hope its like in the video where you can blow someones leg off, force push them backwards and watch them crawl before you end them. Amazing. The graphics look a good step above what we saw in ME1.

I honestly did not think they would carry over the decisions of ME1 into this game (PS3 version denied?), i just thought it would be too complex. Im going to start a new file very soon. Damn i love the ME universe.

I think I am in the same boat as you, I am on my 4th playthrough right now and I can't talk to any friends about Mass Effect because they have no idea what happened in the game. I try to explain Cerberus and they don't remember anything about the company.

awesome. i think this game is going to be great. i loved the first one.
