Seriously. What is this game dated for?

Holy sweet Jesus.

Yes you do.

Around Spring.

Blue Dragon too if you like that. I'm replaying KOTOR right now.

Still fucking good.

Himu · « **Reply #2 on:** February 05, 2007, 06:11:54 PM »

Blue Dragon most definitely.

Himu · « **Reply #3 on:** February 05, 2007, 06:16:29 PM »

Have there been any recent interviews for this game or something?

*searches*

I need to play the copys of jade empire and kotor 2 that are sitting on my shelf before this comes out.

Himu · « **Reply #5 on:** February 05, 2007, 06:17:45 PM »

I haven't played KOTOR 2. I think Jade is pretty good. The first half that is. Once you get to a certain chapter it all goes by so fast and feels rushed. Still, for what it is, I think I enjoyed it more than KOTOR. KOTOR's battle system just didn't jive with me.

What the fuck is Mass Effect?

Looks pretty homoerotic from the screenshots. Whats the premise?

It's like Kotor with three people in your party, similar combat, engineer/weapons/medic specialist classes, customization, and it kind of plays like a shooter.

Story, graphics, and dialogue plus really fun combat system are the main reasons for getting it.

wow. I just hope it lives up to everything.

check out the freeware game called Facade to see a similar style for the dialog branching.

That interview really really makes this game sound even more fucking amazing. The potential here is high. Hopefully they pull it off, and don't half pull it off like they did with Jade.

Quote

IGN: You just spoke a bit about inter-party interactions. One of the things we've always been looking for in a game like this is seeing the party really develop. In Knights of the Old Republic, you could be the most terrible person in the entire world and yet the good people in your squad would just follow you blindly. But we saw in one of the Mass Effect videos released an actual argument between a couple people in the party. Are decisions you make going to splinter your party and maybe build on themselves?

Casey Hudson: Yeah, it definitely will. And that is one of the fun things about giving you a squad where each of the characters has very different motivations. Therefore, you can imagine when we give you really opposite characters, having both of those characters in your squad or seeing how they respond to the things you're doing. We can throw those things in there and allow things to develop and react, but as a player it becomes clear why having certain characters in your squad or taking certain kinds of actions in the world start to really matter.

That is one of the things we were able to see in the X06 demo. As you're doing things, you may have people in your squad that disagree with you. But there may be someone else in your squad that disagrees with them. That's another thing that we do take to extremes where at some point it actually becomes potentially a fight to the death on issues that matter enough. That's one of the cool things about having a storyline that is really emotionally charged and on a big scale. If you're ready to go to extremes to smash down any barrier that 's in your way, the way you go about that could go against the way some of your squad members would like to see. It's something that draws out the importance of your choices in the game.

Quote

IGN: So you just spoke about how you want players to feel that they're somebody special. We know that you take the role of Commander Shepard as the main character and I've read that you can create your own character and build him from the ground up. How do you manage to make this game where the two ideas co-exist, where you can create your own character and build your own persona and still fit him into this world and story where he is special?

Casey Hudson: Well it's an interesting balance and I think it's a different balance than anyone has ever done before in a role-playing game. I think typically role-playing games in the past have been more about creating a completely empty vessel that you then fill up with whatever choices that you make. And that can be really cool but it also kind of leaves out a little bit of the texture of what it's like to be someone specific or to have a specific spirit to an adventure.

So if you think about some of the really great, memorable science fiction stories or even characters, like Captain Kirk or Jack Bauer. Any story about that kind of a character has a very specific flavor to it and that's one thing we didn't want to miss out on with Mass Effect. Mass Effect is so much more cinematic and real than anything we've ever done before that we really needed that extra bit, those extra sensory aspects to a story that you can't get if you just start out with a completely blank character.

So we created the persona of Commander Shepard. And Commander Shepard is an N7 elite which is a member of the human military that really is among the very best of the best and he's already proven himself. And you can also, of course, create a female Commander Shepard. But because we give you a certain kind of experience, which is that nothing is going to hold you back, you will do whatever it takes to solve your mission, to get through that door, to accomplish your objective. And you will go to extremes to do that.

That's really the essence of the experience of being Commander Shepard. But then everything else is up to you. You can create a female Commander Shepard, you can decide everything about the way you look, and you can even decide how you got to be that kind of a character by choosing different kinds of your back story. So you're really choosing all of these different things that customize your character. But because we at least have that aspect of a persona to this character, we can give you a really intense experience that is of a kind of flavor that you've never had before.

it has very high chances of being delayed to 2008, to be realistic

uh, Himuro wants a 360 before Mass Effect comes out... judging BioWare's track record, he possibly won't be in _that_ much of a hurry

*phew*

What in donkey fucking hell are you talking about?

This thread is about cake.

T234 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 05, 2007, 07:39:38 PM »

Himu, that's the date I keep hearing through the grapevine.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #22 on:** February 05, 2007, 07:41:24 PM »

07 might be bad because of Halo3 but they have been working on this game for at least 2 years and it's running VERY smoothly so I can imagine it'll be out and a bunch of people are getting 360's at that time and want something else to play on it, a KOTOR sequel is perfect.

I don't see why it wouldn't come out in '07
