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...

Yeah I know. I have to admit, I did not expect Unreal Engine 3 to be the engine to take the crown for graphics on consoles. It's so amazing, the textures, the lighting, the character models the effects ( explosions, fire etc. ) It's all soo polished and amazing. Quite simply Bioware are gods. After watching this I was taken aback. Surprised more than anything, that I was saying it about ME2. Still cant get over the fact that in the Part 1 video at 6:13 is ACTUAL gameplay, being controlled. I need this game.

All I'll say is the new console graphics king. If you dont want any spoilers or dont want to know anything just go to 6:13 on part 1 and stop about 30 secs later. That is actual gameplay.

I dont want to take any chances, so im just gonna wait and see what it looks like on my TV. ME1 had graphics ahead of its time (it had KZ2 graphics in 2007, i think it was released then).

All I can say is it's alot better visually than the first. NO POP IN either. You are in for a visual treat.

LOL. Look at it this way. It's only 30 mins. It will look even better on your HD TV. And you will be past this point in no time. It doesnt really spoil anything for you if you have followed Mass Effect 2 documentaries etc. What it does do is make your jaw hit floor. How is it possible Unreal Engine 3 is this capable even now. And also Bioware imo are much better with UE3 than Epic are. ME2 looks loads better visually than GeoW2.



--OkeyDokey-- on 22 January 2010

Aaaaand Mass Effect 2 is selnor's graphics king of the day!

I'm looking forward to this as much as anyone but it only looks marginally better than Mass Effect 1.
