IGN: Mass Effect 2: New Details Revealed

[sharkey360]

A story from earlier this morning from the website Polygamia reported Jay Watamaniuk, BioWare's community manager, had stated there's a good chance we'll see Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation 3 during a presentation in Poland.

"During the presentation, Watamaniuk mentioned three platforms that Mass Effect 2 is targeted at. They were Xbox 360, PC and "probably PS3". After a while, realizing what he said, he started to back out, saying that they do not comment on rumors and speculations,' the report said.

IGN contacted Electronic Arts for a comment and was directed to an updated forum post by Watamaniuk on BioWare's website. Watamaniuk clarified his comments saying it was all "a misunderstanding."

"There is a report circulating today based on an appearance I made in Poland yesterday. Seems there was a misunderstanding about ME2 coming to PS3." he wrote.

"Let me clarify today: ME2 is coming to PC and X360 only."

This is the second time this week speculation of a PS3 version may be on its way.

New listings on both Electronic Arts' Russian website and Australian retailer GAME had Mass Effect 2 coming to PlayStation 3. EA would eventually comment saying: "The postings on those website are false and are being corrected."

BioWare and Electronic Arts have been quick to cover up any talk of a PlayStation 3 port. Do you think this will stay exclusive to PC and Xbox 360?

Clearly, one of the most anticipated game for Xbox 360 owners is Mass Effect 2. Players have wanted to find out what’s happened to Commander Shepard since the series’ initial release—and, in fact, whether he’d survived to make it to the sequel. It may not have been apparent as news of the follow-up first came out, but we can take comfort in the fact that Shepard did indeed make it through so he can continue his adventures. EA and BioWare hosted a TeamXbox visit to see the second of what’s intended to be a trilogy of games.

Before we get into what we saw from a story standpoint, we want to make a mention of what BioWare said the ME2 team did on the technical side to improve the new game. Nick Clifford, a marketing assistant on the title, said the development studio wanted to make the game “more alive” than its predecessor. Some of that involved building upon the technology with which BioWare began the series, and the results are obvious when you view the new title in action. Clifford said that with ME2 the developers built better character models to help the game’s realism, but also made vast improvements to the texture-loading process. The latter work enables the player to stay better immersed in the game world, because the terrain is much cleaner and doesn’t “draw in” as obviously in the player view.

Liked the first one a lot. There was one minor annoying thing bout the first game though for me and that was the long elevator rides. There were too many of them. Now I know Bioware used those scenes as a way of loading one map to another... but if they can somehow shorten them for the sequel, I'd be happy.


If there's no way around it, they could at least allow Shepard to 'get it on' with a female character on the elevator instead of just standing there waiting.
