Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The fact that this a new game is possibly one of the reasons. It's also a Sci-Fi RPG game, which seems to attract many gamers. Otherwise, I'm not much of a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I wonder why people are so hyped about this game It could have something to do with the creator of Mass Effect being Bioware, which produced a prior award winning RPG game that most in this section of the forum have played over and over again.

SpaceAlex Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wonder why people are so hyped about this game I'd expect people to be more hyped about Grand Theft Auto IV. Which I am Heh, i personally couldn't care less about GTA, but i do care about Mass Effect. And i'm guessing i'm not the only one. I think the majority of people that come to this forum are most interested in sc-fi and fantasy games. Games with a more realistic setting (read GTA) come second, or not at all.

Ghost Down Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Probably because everything points to it being awesome! Almost, only bad thing is that it's being made for the Xbox 360 - Ghost Down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Almost, only bad thing is that it's being made for the Xbox 360 - Ghost Down Actually, at 1080p, that's going to be one of the best things about this game. There's not suppose to be any representation by Bioware for this game at E3. I donno, wouldn't that be a perfect platform to launch this game? ... or at least throw us a bone with a (tenative) release date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Final article of the three part series about the Krogan. Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Q'ol Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well, it's official. MassEffect will be shown at E3. Chris Priestly from BioWare has officially announced this today. I expect it to have a decent showing. Should blow some socks off. It would be nice if they could drop a release date then too. However, I doubt they do. I'm sure they enjoy the buzz that's being created. The MassEffect website is growing faster than a Krogan addolescent. I expect a late fall or hoilday release.

Char Ell Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Well, it's official. MassEffect will be shown at E3. Chris Priestly from BioWare has officially announced this today. Interesting. IIRC BioWare's top execs said at the end of last year or the beginning of this year that they weren't going to showcase Mass Effect at E3 2007. So that says to me that even BioWare wasn't originally expecting Mass Effect's development to take this long. EDIT: Yep. Actually it was this past March when BioWare CEO Ray Muzyka told IGN BioWare wasn't going to demo Mass Effect at E3 2007. "That event is in July, right?" asked Dr. Ray Muzyka. "Well, Mass Effect won't appear at this year's E3." Source: IGN - GDC 2007: Mass Effect Out in June? EDIT 2: Since BioWare is showing Mass Effect at E3 next week maybe we'll get a release date announcement then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Microsoft's Peter Moore just announced Mass Effect will be released this November. Chris Priestly posted a confirmation on BioWare's BioBoards. <link> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Wooo November! I hope we'll get to see some gameplay at E3. E3 Update: It looks awesome. If you want to see some good Mass Effect stuff, see GameSpot's E3 page. They played the game while talking about it in the interview. Apparently the game is essentially complete. It's just Bioware and Microsoft double teaming on QA/Game Testing like crazy until November. From what they're saying, the game is huge, and we'll never have the same game experience more than once.

Bob Lion54 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Now that settles it... I'm getting a XBOX360 in November. If I'm lucky, they will have another price cut before then. heh They could have shown us a bit more, but that was still great. This looks like another Bioware hit. Was anyone else thinking "Hey, hes wearing a Proton Pack" at the first, or was that just me... heh Did not know they were based out of Austin. They are based in Canada, but they recently opened an Austin branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Wow! BioWare wasn't kidding when they said this would be one massive game. (pun intended) It just seems like you can play this game for hours and hours and hours and still not see everything it has to offer. I thought Dr. Zeschuk's hairstyle was rather amusing.

Yea, I saw that too. Thanks, I heard them say something about being up from Austin and it shocked me. It actually makes sense they’d open a branch there with all the programmers, musicians and writers living in and around Austin, but it was shocking.

Reclaimer Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 **Puts up flame shield.** I've looked at this game, and it's just not interesting for me. I mean, nothing really stands out to interest me into getting this game. I might rent it, just to try it out, but I won't add it to me collection.

I mean, nothing really stands out to interest me into getting this game. I might rent it, just to try it out, but I won't add it to me collection. I must say that it looks interesting but then again... I think the trailer may have put me off somewhat. They seem to be selling the game as an interactive epic film - complete with excessive numbers of explosions. I do have to worry that the plot may suffer due to the style they're going for. Edit: And I think we may have hit the uncanny valley with this one - or at least I have. The characters are so realistic to me that... they look like they're made out of plastic - which is never good. But then again, I could be interpreting a lot from a very short piece of film which is meant to yell, "Look! It's epic!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Obi-Wan Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Heh. Bioware originated in Edmonton. So, I've been there. Though, I wasn't really able to try any games out. But, it's a pretty cool place. It's also coming out in November which happens to be the month in which my birthday is in. Maybe I'll get it for my birthday. The game looks awesome right now. I can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, you don't want this game on your collection based on some trailers? The game wasn't even released yet! Even if that "looks like" something, don't mean that it is. Look at previous masterpieces from Bioware: Astounding, eh? Got no reason to believe that this one won't be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeDoe 2.0 Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 I look forward to this game along with Halo 3 and Fable 2. The story looks kewl, along with the characters and graphics. I'm glad I bought an xbox Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
