UPDATE: The link doesn't work anymore, looks like Gamespot took it down,

good thing I copied the article to the notepad

 

Tatt fra Gametrailers-forumet. Hva mener dere? Det virker sannsynlig gjør det ikke?

[Everyone]

Vet ikke, men dette høres kult ut.

[Kharan]

Venter heller på offisiell kunngjørelse, jeg. Man skal ikke tro på alt som skrives på forumene.

[JohnJuzi]

hørest veldig spennendes ut og jeg håper mye av dette er sant.

 

Man kan sette spørsmåltegn ved at det "røpes" diverse plotter i historien.

[Lakus]

Mass Effect

[sp0ck]

Whaaaat??? Awesoooooome!!!

 

Ok, måtte bare få det ut. Høres utrolig bra ut, er enig at det er rart at røpes en del av plottet, men hvis halvparten av dette stemmer så blir dette knall.

[Maury]

Håper mitt største ønske om Mass Effect 2 oppfylles, nemlig at Wrex forsatt lever. En av de tøffeste nye side-karakterne i denne spillgenerasjonen.

[ChickenMan]

PS3-versjon, da? :-/

[husgutt]

[Maury]

Det er ikke planer om noe PS3-utgave av 2`ern. Bare en PC utgave etter 360-utgaven, så ville ikke hatt store forhåpninger om en PS3-utgave før i 2010-2011 hvertfall. Tror ærlig talt det ikke kommer heller.

Yeah, noen har lært.

[husgutt]

Nå er ikke dette offisielt da..

[Lakus]

Ingenting i denne tråden er offisielt, det står det i førstepost.

Betyr det at vi ikke kan diskutere og skravle om det?

[Locrin]

Hadde passet meg finfint å dra med characteren jeg hadde i enern med videre. Ellers må jeg lage en ny som ser helt lik ut... Ellers blir det bare feil etter min mening.

-Mass Effect 2 is a 6-month timed exclusive game for the Xbox 360.

 

 

Og etter disse månedene kommer den på PC, så vidt jeg skjønte ut i fra førsteposten.

 

 

edit: Det hadde iallefall vært utrolig morsomt å få høre noe offisielt fra den kanten snart, plukket opp orginal-spillet selv i går etter å ha spilt rundt BiA:HH en og en halv gang, like morro som alltid.

Jeg er spent på å se hvordan konflikten med Batarians kommer til å utvikle seg. Det bygger jo opp til noe i Bring Down The Sky.

[Lakus]

Samme her, håper ikke addonen til Mass Effect bare var "another mission".

[Eppelsin]

Det høres bra ut, men jeg håper de klarer å lage et mer levende univers. ME1 føltes rett og slett dødt og statisk ut, mye repeterende steder, de samme NPC'ene på de samme stedene hele tiden.... (neesten)

 

AI'en var heller ikke så bra, er jo på linje med det for 10-15 år siden. Har jo 10 år gamle spill med bedre AI, men i rettferdighetens navn(?), så er AI ikke det enkleste å få til. Inventory systemet var også tungvint.

 

Selv om mye også var bra. Likte kamp-systemet, og grafikken da selvsagt. Ansikts-animasjoner og lipsync var jo i toppklasse! Historien var også meget meget bra, og trekker langt opp imho.

 

Dialogsystemet likte jeg også, selv om de forskjellige valgene ikke alltid gjorde at reaultatene ble ulike. Men jeg synes faktisk lineære spill kan være greit også (men at man har "frihet" til å dra hvor man vil å gjøre ting i sin egen rekkefølge).

 

Ikke meningen å kritisere ME1 for mye... men kunne ikke unngå å si noe om den.

 

Åja, Wrex var jo kul da! Han må ha en bror i ME2? :-)

[Book]

Tipper store deler er tull. Du kan kontrollere opp til 5 lag medlemmer? Nah, tror jeg ikke noe på. 5 spillere i coop? Tvilsomt. Level cap 120? Pffft. 2 Hagler på en gang? Passer ikke inn i Mass Effects "taktiske" spillverden.

 

Jeg hadde elsket det om alt det du skrev var sant, men desverre så må vi nok være realistiske her.

[Slimda]

Jeg har mine tvil om akkurat det her, altså. Mye er skrevet i en "i wish"-stil.

 

Men, den som venter på noe godt, venter ikke forgjeves.
