Forums - Sony - Bioware: Mass Effect "PS3" INTRO 'module' makes it 'RICHER'

Mass Effect PS3 intro 'module' makes it 'richer' - Bioware

BioWare founders Dr Ray Muzyka and Dr Greg Zeschuk have discussed how they intend to introduce PS3 players to the lore-heavy Mass Effect universe.

In a new interview with PSM3, the Muzyka and Zeschuck were asked what they were doing to bring PlayStation gamers up to date on the events of the first Mass Effect.

The dynamic duo replied by referencing a mysterious new aspect of the game referred to as a 'introductory module'.


"What we're providing is an introductory module. We haven't revealed the details of what that is yet, but it's going to provide a lot of information on both the context and setting of Mass Effect" said Muzyka.

The second game in the series was announced for the PS3 at EA's GamesCom presentation, sparking questions on how they intend to bring new players up to speed on the series.

According to Dr Ray the module will provide the context needed to enjoy Mass Effect 2 as a stand alone title.

"I think players are going to have a really good framing of the experience as a result, and they're going to know what they're heading into. Mass Effect 2 is a stand-alone experience, and this is just going to make it that much richer."

When quizzed on just what the phrase 'introductory module' meant, Zeschuk was coy as you like.

"That remains a mystery." said Dr Greg.

Bioware has detailed some of the bonus content that PS3 Mass Effect 2 players can look forward to.

"And by saying this, we hope you'll make us richer."



I just heard about this as well, dont really know what to think. what the hell is an intro 'module'; well we'll see how good it is to warrant picking up. i've heard we'll get the added DLC as well.



I hope it has Move support.

Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

That will have a MASS EFFECT on the gameplay though.

I believe it is going to happen. Bioware said the game not only gets a graphical change (Possibly a graphical boost) but that is also plays differently.

Moving from playing with 360 analog placement to PS3 analog placement does not qualify as "plays different".

 

I am almost positive they are adding Move support, which would work fantastic for this game.

It probably will, but as much as I like Move, I'll still play it the traditional way. You can't play Mass Effect 2 standing up and unrelaxed, that's just, well.........not cool.

newsflash! the move works while seated and relaxed.

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
