Looks much better than I expected.  My main concern with Mass Effect was that many of the environments seemed kinda sparse.  It's nice to see that they were able to get many characters on-screen at the same time. 

Everything seems to be real time, which is impressive, but perhaps they should have prerendered the non-interactive cut-scenes like HS?  I noticed some tearing which could be distracting during the cut-scenes.

god the music and visuals nailed the 1980s pulp scifi setting like a cs crack addict hitting an newb with an prenerf AWP. Wow.

I will buy a 360 for this game if they don't announce it for PC at E3 next year. I'd much rather play a Bioware game on high-end PC hardware than endure the framerates like the KotOR games had on the original Xbox.

I dunno why they wouldn't. They brought out Jade Empire eventually.

I was sold on Mass Effect based on the E307 trailer they showed. Just oozed Advent Rising, music and all. It's so mine. I watch the trailer now and then just to get my dick hard.

I'm with you on this but I don't know if I can wait that long if it really turns out to be the best RPG of this gen so far.  It seems to be running pretty smoothly on the 360.  I hope that tearing is kept to a minimal on the 360.  For a game like this, I would rather lose 10fps than have vsync off.

no way in hell I'm going to ruin this.  never got why anybody would want to watch the beginning of a videogame.  especially since this is supposed to have a very interesting intro.

[hyp]

mass effect has gone off my hype meter as of late.  after watching the vids, it's right back on top.  holy shit.

[Mupepe]

seems like the build shown here is incredibly better than ones shown before.  it looks soooo much smoother.

[Fragamemnon]

I watched the intro again just to listen to the music-it's got that Vangelis Blade Runner style to it. I love that soundtrack.
