Gamersyde Diaries: Mass Effect

2007-10-06 14:00:00 by Snoopers

A few months and lots of games shows after our Army of Two GSD, we are finally back to talk a bit about Mass Effect, the massive Space-Opera from Bioware. A GSD a tad longer than usual, 15 minutes so HD fans better make sure their modems are up to the task, and rich in discussions about the beginning of the game that Pipo and I had the chance to try freely. We also talk about the character creation, the fight system and a few more things. Enjoy!

ok so that was pretty much the same footage that was posted on here before after the Mass Effect press day, but as for the combat i agree that the guy that demoed it sucked and it looked worst than it is, if you check out the IGN combat vids you will see how much better it looks when someone that knows what there doing is playing it, as for team AI the guys at 1UP on there new podcast just talked about a copy they were recently sent and are playing, and they are very impressed by the SQUAD AI and Framrate. I also agree that there are so many little touches that pull you into the game and make you feel part of the experience, i can only imagine how i'll feel about my squad and story 15hrs into the game :)

its simplified but i wouldnt say that makes it any less effective, just more user friendly. Can't say thats a negative. I also think you got your analogies backwards.

The visuals, dialog and everything looks great. Just like you guys I was a bit worried about the combat system. The guy from Bioware demonstrating the game was truly bad and that didn't help me feel good about the game. But when I saw another variation of the same fight scene done by another person and they dispatched the 2 turrets and Fist (sp?) without too much trouble, that was re-assuring to know that if you're bad at shooters, you're gonna just die horribly, but if you have some skill, you can make the most of the system that is available in Mass Effect and move on..

I think we'll all really decide on how well the combat system is once we get our hands on the game and/or wait for the First 10 Minutes (tm) from Gamersyde..;)

looks amazing but the combat looks annoying
i hate telling AI what to do
after a hard day at work i cant b arsed to think
i hope theres an option to let them do what they want, or online co op...?!
i would rather do missions as shepard alone then tell things what to do

Really looking forward to this game. I have good faith in Bioware, that they'll nail the gameplay again. A shame the footage isn't new, so I won't get the HD version. Still a good Diary, you adressed the possible issues exactly like I felt about them.

My skill with shooters is pretty stunted as well, but I'm hoping that there's more to the story/dialog/RPG portion and the combat is only limited..

You mean Kaiden? Right, the guy who voiced Carth is now Kaiden.

I really liked this episode of Gamersyde Diaries. And Mass Effect is THE ONE GAME I'm looking forward to buy next month.

I missed some more unseen gameplay footage though. We saw a lot of you guys discussing the game, but I feel there was not enough shown from the game itself. Sure, BioWare won't give away too much of their new titles (they've never done) and they surely didn't allow you to show more.

Keep up the good work, guys!

May I ask, what camera did you use for the outside shots? Quality is great, I want it.

Yup, pretty much what he said ;). I've been hearing the latest 1UP podcast too, and the IGN videos and they definitely quell Pipo's and Snooper's worries with the game. Your squad's AI is really good, because at one time Garnett (1up) was almost dead and he let his squad do the work, and they cleared the whole room. Also, they said the framerate was very solid, 30 all the way.

Great Gamersyde, damn Snoopers you talk so fast and get all your details that quick out of the way! Amazing work, great analysis. Great work translating too. And nice location to talk :D.
