Forums - Microsoft Discussion - SPOILERS! First 30 mins of Mass Effect 2 SPOILERS!

selnor on 21 January 2010

I watched it. It does contain spoilers, but hell it's only the first 30 mins. I figured on Jan 29 ( EU ) I will quickly past that bit.

What I will say is I have never seen graphics like this. In fact I have never seen a game experience SO movie like. That term has been thrown around to much concerning some games. This is like the Avatar of Games. It really does cinematic in a way games just haven't achieved yet. The first 10 mins are better than the whole of Mass Effect 1.

It's hard to believe there is no CGI. I know it's running on the latest Unreal Engine 3 mods ( Global illumination etc ) But damn. At 6: 13 in the first part, just WOW. I mean WOW.

Head and shoulders above the original. This is truly incredible!

I watched it and I am happy that I preordered this game! I hope there won't be a "special edition" because damn it! I hate when I make my preorder and they announce a special edition.

ME2 looks AWESOME and I can't wait to play it!

Nice post, but who would want to watch it and ruin the game for them? Unless your not buying/renting it.

I shall be using this thread as a walk through!

If this is 360 and all of that is real time, then this is one of the best realistic graphics I've ever seen on a console.

But this got to be a pc. That explosion that starts on ~7:49 is absurdly good looking!

In part 2 you will notice the Xbox 360 dashboard comes up and he is using a 360 memory card to. It's entirely the 360 doing it. Who said 360 couldnt outdo PS3.

I never doubt that -  but never thougth Mass Effect 2 was the game that would achieve that!

I'm watching part 3 now, it's mind-blowing! Jeez, I usually don't like wrpgs, but this one is tempting...
