Mass Effect E3 Demo Video


Bioware has released to the public the video that they demonstrated at this year's E3 for their upcoming Xbox 360 RPG, Mass Effect. All I have to say is wow, the game looks as beautiful as it does vast. For character animation, this tops what Valve's Source Engine is capable of, and it's all truly impressive.

I also like what they've done with conversations. In their previous RPGs, you had a list of choices you could select in response to NPC dialogue, however it it looks as though you have some abreviated responses mapped to the D-Pad, and once selected, your character will actually speak more detailed versions of them. This should speed up conversation progression, as well as make dialogue more engaging and not so one sided.
