These pics appeared in an OXM I think about a month ago. Bioware put them up on their website.

this picture has a cool environment. glad to see there will be cantinas like in KOTOR:

to top it off, here are some others that aren't new, but hey, it they still kick ass to look at again

Lmao you start by trying make a point that PS3 shouldn't have been mentioned, yet in the process have pretty much hijacked the thread in defence of it.

Guys don't be fooled, I'm the biggest Mass Effect fanboy of all, it's by far my most anticipated game, but while those screenshots are in-engine, they are certainly not in-game. You don't get that level of in-game detail in all but the top of the line PC games. That said the game will still look amazing and be amazing. I love the art style, and the models they chose for the alien races. A huge step up from the likes of Halo and all other sci-fi games. Good job Bioware. Memnock

Why can't it? Bioware has NEVER used anything but the in-game engine to render characters. The only CGI sequences are of ships and the like. Hell, the devs THEMSELVES stated it was in-game.

ooh don't mind me I am anti-Every console.

I hate all of them honestly.

PC, Wii, Xbox 360, PS3 all Suxx. :oops:

If you visited BioWare's forum you would see that they are IN-GAME. Developers confirmed it.

Now, say you're sorry and I might let you go unharmed.

If this game doesn't score AAA it will be a big dissapointment. Great graphics are fine, I just hope the rest of the game is just as polished.mani111

Dude, it's a Bioware game. Don't have to worry about stuff like that. :)

Dude, same thing for Blizzard games :). Oh wait Diablo 2 was robbed of AAA status, maybe this will be too?

I wasn't referring to the potential AAA score, actually...

You know, you're right. I apologize. The focus should be on how great Mass Effect is.dmaximum

That is the nicest that I have ever seen anyone act in System Wars. You must be a saint.

They are in-game in the sense that they are screenshots from cut-scenes in the game, but they are from cut-scenes. They will be using the same graphics engine but will not have AI, or the variables that come with moving the character around and all of that. Actual in-game meaning when you are shooting and running around will not look that good. It's not possible, at least not on the Xbox 360.

The funny thing is how KOTOR, after all these years, is still completly fresh and fun to me. I started a new game recently, and I've done so much stuff differently that it is a whole new experience.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

It's really amazing how much different you can make your experience. For example, my first time through I converted Juhani and she became one of my party members. I used her almost all the time, and she was a huge help and had a plot that was pretty involved. The second time? I killed her right when I met her. Completly changed the game. Not only does it change because she has nothing to do with the story anymore, but one of her Jedi friends was depressed and mad at me for killing her, so she ran off. I later found her asa Sith, and killed her. This is a small example too, especially compared to changing your force side or gender the 2nd time through.

Yeah, it's amazing and I think it's a compliment that a hand full of people think these are in-engine screenshots and not in-game. Good job Biowere indeed!

....Again, Bioware's games have ALWAYS shown the same detail in the cutscenesas the in-game portion did. It's just like RE4. And again, how do you know what the limitations are for the 360? You aren't a dev.

Funny thing is that the X06 walkthrough, the same one that has real-time fighting and conversation parts is called "in-engine" by Bioware.

Needs aquote.

Not the case for the X06 footage.

Why is it that whenever they show conversation pics people scream, "OMGZ I LOVES THEM FOR LOVINGMAE!!!!!!!"

but when they show actual gameplay pics, peple say, "Teh donraed bez here!"

Slightly more recent preview though isn't it? You have missed the point of the quote though. During conversation it mentions nothing about cutscreens or improved graphics, just blurred backgrounds while the characters 'STAY crisp and in focus.'
