But that human guy in the intro... He should blink his eyes *during* the eye movement! Not befooooore!
I know it's not much but it breaks it for me. But! The orange alien is indeed very cool and stylish, just like the chick's suit. Simple designs wooo!
the lead char probably looks generic to you because he will be completely customizable or so I've read (create a char)

The d-pad usage for the talking sequences is uber-cool! I'd bought KotoR only to get bored by reading crap-loads of text.
I just hope that the 'fully customizable character' doesn't have to be human [id rather be that alien guy lol]
funilly, that's all that i can think of... other than that WOAooooooooowwwwW!
peace!

for good purpose though!
if u head over to masseffect.com, u'll find that they've put up a Podcast which answers some [many] of the community's questions.... i downloaded all 3 parts, and am now hyped more than ever!
i can't wait to see the achievement lists so that i can plan and 'hit the ground running' so to speak [yes i have no life
Good stuff, I'm super stoked
I dont like how what you choose to say isnt what he actually says in Mass Effect. I enjoyed picking smart-ass comments in KOTOR and now you dont know what your gonna get. I also hope the interaction with alein life forms is as deep and varying as in kotor, I loved traveling to cantinas on distant planets and chatting with the locals. But there is like a hundred things this will have over KOTOR in the end so I'm definatley gonna have to give it a go.
really want this game.
That and the gameplay animations are pretty lifeless.
Game looks great and all, but damn, the story and visuals seem so banal. Bioshock must have spoiled me.

Keep in mind this is pretty old footage. If you watch some of the latest stuff from the 1up show, the entire interface has received a revamp, and the squad controls much more intuitively.
As for the style, : D Man, I fucking love Bioshock, but Mass Effect's retro style I can dig. Oddly enough though, what I'm looking forward to the most is hearing the final musical score. More style than a cactus wearing a top hat!
Though from this video, you do have a good point about the animation. The E3 trailer looked better, so let's hope it just continues to improve.
and about the 'style' and 'score' etc. i'm looking forward to how epic this game feels. Everytime i watch the trailers with that music and the camera shots and the intesity... i just feel like im gonna be sucked into this parallel universe where these things are actually happening, and the weight of the world is on my shoulders....
awesome job... i can't wait till release. when's winter vacation in this country? i hope its Nov. - Jan.
Character creation article + vid.
What I love is how they managed to get the armour looking so damn good, the design is really basic yet the layers of different material make it such eye candy :P
Also, Gamespot uploaded some short direct feed versions of the PAX demo: http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/masseffect/media.html?tag=tabs;videos
With actual audible audio, I'm super stoked to hear the voice actor for KOTOR's Carth Onasi is voicing Kaiden. Or atleast it sounds that way.
November couldn't come quick enough.
well thanks for sharing the vids!
one thing i'm worried about [after seeing the PAX vid] is the framerate. maybe its my browser, but did i see some frames being skipped? ahh well. it'll still be awesomesauce. i can't wait to play it.
oh, and i love those special fx. especially that medi-gel thing. looks funky.
and oh noes! i was hoping sooner. That's soooo many days from now! ahh well. i'm just glad its still november! i hope assassin's creed comes early november so i can play both and not think about the other
this tuesday is the day when we'll be thrust into wat looks like the most epic game ever. if u see the launch trailer [in the gallery at masseffect.com] u'll start drooling.
i know i did.
my parents are 'convincing' me not to buy it until some time when its cheaper. i said 'okay' cuz i suspect they'll be giving it to my for my b-day... implying i gotta wait till dec 04!!!
ill haveta play AC till then... not that i mind haha.
and then ill haveta start alternating between AC and ME.... eek.
cant wait till its out!
hopefully bioware wont screw canada over [like ubisoft and Assassin's Creed did, and like EA screwed the world on 'skate''s release date]
I guess that makes up for their lack of Limited Edition
I've gotta wait till the 23rd
Or Santa will drop it off.
ouch... r we still on me about that?
and i just reported wat i read.
btw: it a post on the mass effect forums. it IS the supertiny problem

animatr yesh I did, I was a senior poly pusher working on the human and alien heads, iconic hero and villain, the spaceship and some of the clothing and Armour.
Worked with an awesome team and had lots of fun on the project
I don't know if I can post anything.. I'll have to speak with people back at Bioware about it
Also, e-props to all the people here who worked on the game. Some of the characters and environments are by far the best I have ever seen in any game to date. Sometimes the engine has issues, such as a 128x128 texture will remain in the scene during a cutscene for a good 5-7 seconds before switching to the high res with normals, but it is easy to overlook.
Dude with boobs? I think I'll skip this game.

Yeah, what's the go with that shit?
Congrats to all the Polycounters that helped ship this title. Its a game I plan on picking up eventually. Too many games to get through and not enough hours in the day.
