Yea i know, this is a playstation forum, but this should just be the \'Console\' section IMO
anyway, they released a cinematic trailer that looks fucking awesome. It\'s been a while since a trailer got me this excited for a game

Yep, it\'s looking Great. This and Alan Wake are DAY ONE purchase for me.

i was bored and made a few wallpapers.
I wanted to get the part where the assassin shoots the two guys at the same time but I couldnt pause it right when both guns were flashing. But what was cool was I noticed he shoots his right gun before the left, and the right guy gets shot before the guy on the left. Just a cool detail they went out of their way to do instead of making it at exactly the same time (which is probably impossible)
anyway, these were done in paint in like 10 minutes so its not top-quality. I just wanted them for myself

I dunno why theyre shrunken from the originals. maybe to save space on photobuckets servers they do that by default

Damn you Viper!!....i thought this was news that ME2 was coming to ps3!!...:mad:....:D...nice wallpapers tho.
-
I just started playing ME last night on PC (gotta love the steam holiday sale.. $5)
so far it\'s very cool, very intimidating when trying to figure out everything you can do in a firefight, but I\'m catching on.
I will def pick up ME2
-
This would be the one and only game I would buy an Xbox for. But it\'s only one game vs. ps3\'s numerous exclusives... I\'ll save my money for those..

[size=+1]Geoff Keighley: Mass Effect 2 Will Come To PS3, EA Just Can’t Talk About It Yet[/size]
PS3 owners have been waiting for a word, any word that would favor the arrival of Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3, however nothing solid has surfaced, only rumors and speculation. Well now it would seem Geoff Keighley has some inside information concerning the game’s arrival on PS3, and how it’s only a matter of time till this happens.
“Now the fact that [Mass Effect 2] is only on Xbox 360, a lot of debate now about whether it makes sense for publishers to make those games exclusive to a platform,” Keighley said, “I think the game will eventually come out for PlayStation 3 but they just can’t talk about it yet.”
Do you think Keighley is right? The game comes out next week for PC and Xbox 360, rumors have it that ME2 has been leaked on torrent sites, if true it could mean tens of thousands in lost dollars for EA and Bioware.
We’ll keep you posted.

Just imagine both Gears3 and Mass Effect2 on PS3 :D
-
I would snatch both of those games up in a heartbeat...ME2 especially looks incredibly good...have you seen the latest commercial for ME2?...really good stuff...:D
-
They ran a 2 minute commercial last night during the playoff game. Damn that must have been expensive as shit.

yea, i had to change the channel so I didnt see anything, but the 2 seconds I did see looked awesome.
Im not sure how promoting the game this much is going to work out for them. There\'s nothing else coming out for a few weeks, so gamers for the most part know whether or not theyre getting ME2, and casual gamers are trolls who only buy things with the name \'wii xxxx\'.
wii dance outsold a lot of high quality games..thats how messed up the market is.
-
havent gotten crazy far..cept 5 hours in one day is a little too much,lol (not 5 hours straight). Even then I had to stop myself from playing.
But it seems like it doesnt stray too far from what ME1 was, but its still a great game and Im only at the beginning, so once the story gets going it should outdo ME1 by a good leap.
My lone problem with the game is the cover system still needs work. Getting into cover is miles better from the first one, but you have to do the Gears of War thing to jump over stuff, where you have to enter cover and then hop over the barrier. Just a little wonky
-
i love this damn game. Seriously, getting squad members on the first one was a 10 minute mission...now, theyre all big missions that would be like almost half of the main missions in ME1.
I just now started the story, so Im not sure how much bigger those will be from getting the team together but...
GOTY
thinking about it, theyre all about the length of getting liara in ME1..and if I remember correctly she was the only one that took that much time. The rest were gotten through a few conversations on the citadel. Been like 10ish hours just to start the main story
-
noone else is playing this?
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6248614.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;6
not sure how big of a part the crazy amount of promotion helped get to 2 million sales in a week, but they\'ve already eclipsed uncharted 2 sales. Not saying ME2 was that much better than UC2 (too different), but i just thought that was interesting. UC2\'s lack of sales is a little ridiculous, but ME2 selling well is good
-
Nope Viper, official figures are not available yet for Mass Effect2 for the 1st week, and Uncharted2 sold 2.78m up to now. and yes, as you said, the massive AD helped a lot.
Mass Effect 2 had an excellent opening day in the Americas. According to VGChartz preliminary estimates, around 500,000 copies of the game were sold on day one on Xbox 360 (PC sales were not tracked). Extrapolating for the week, total sales should surpass 700,000 in the Americas by Saturday. With a strong launch also expected in Europe (the UK especially), total sales by Saturday could be close to one million units worldwide on Xbox 360 - about it line with the launch of Fable II back in October 2008. The original Mass Effect sold 2.1 million copies on Xbox 360 in total and 400,000 in week one - Mass Effect 2 will comfortably outperform that. VGChartz.
In comparison, Uncharted2 sold 837,569 in its 1st week, which is not so far from the estimated 1 million for ME2. I think you took those total numbers from Mass Effect1.
edited : heard from people who\'s playing ME2 that the game still uses mostly narrow corridor shooting, while Uncharted2...well...we know. They are too different to be compared, as you said.

No Ps3=no Care
-
god damn this game is brutal on Insanity difficulty. I dont remember having this much of a problem in a game in a while
It takes like all my ammo just to clear out one area of guys and you lose shields/heath at a crazy pace
was not expecting that when ME1 was easy as cake on insanity
-
Sorry, correction, an enhanced version\'s coming to PS3, complete with DLC and several small but vital extras. It\'s as huge a deal for us as Gabe Newell taking to the stage at E3 to announce Portal 2 on Sony\'s machine.
Looking further into the future, it practically guarantees the presence of Mass Effect 3 - the conclusion to the trilogy - on our console, as well as continued support from BioWare, the world\'s leading RPG developers.
There are all kinds of reasons to be excited, but, as we hinted at earlier, the main one\'s the game itself

I can\'t wait for this game....there were only two games that i wanted to play on the 360...gears and mass effect.....we already have ME on lock...now if we can somehow get ms sticky hands offa gears, all is well...:D...i could care less about HALO, they can have that....i wouldn\'t mind havin\' alan wake either tho....still this is great news.

[size=+2]Mass Effect 2 - PS3 Preview [/size]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g9F0rgVzuw&feature=player_embedded
Looking Stunning.
[size=+1]The former Xbox and PC exclusive is even better on Sony\'s console.[/size]
If you were concerned that PlayStation 3 owners would get the short end of the stick when BioWare decided to port Mass Effect 2 to the console, rest easy. Packaged with all the downloadable content offerings including Lair of the Shadow Broker and Overlord, as well as new characters Zaeed and Kasumi, the PlayStation 3 will offer the most comprehensive version of the game to date.
The engine has been reworked to utilize the PlayStation 3\'s technology, so if you look closely you might notice the blacker blacks and crisper textures, but you\'ll probably just think it looks sharp and bright. Placing both versions side by side shows off how much better the PS3 version looks during cutscenes, but during normal gameplay it isn\'t leaps and bounds better than the Xbox 360.
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/114/1140265p1.html
We are getting the Ultimate Mass Effect 2 ;)
-
it does look better, not that the game looked bad in any way on 360. The only thing that bugged me graphically was there were these loading pauses during cutscenes in the 360 version that would kind of kill the mood with the skipping. I guess they go away if you put the game on your HDD but I have a launch 360 so I dont have the room to install it.
Curious if that\'s something they got rid of on the ps3 version
-
I was taking for granted ME2 for PS3 would be another clunky PC port so this new engine its running on sounds like very good news.

[size=+1]Mass Effect 2 on Playstation 3 Podcast and Gold Announcement[/size]
By BioWare - by Evil Chris Priestly
Hi Everyone
The Mass Effect team is very proud to announce that Mass Effect 2 for the Playstation 3 has GONE GOLD! What does this mean? Well, it means that BioWare has finished working on the game and it has been sent off to the manufacturer to be turned into copies of the game and shipped to stores for you to buy, It is called “going gold” as back in “the old days” the industry used special gold colored discs for their final versions.
To help celebrate ME2 coming to the PS3, I asked Jesse Houston, the producer for the PS3 version, to do a podcast with me discussing why the Playstation 3 version of Mass Effect 2 is so cool. We’ve had a lot of Playstation users asking to get their hands on Mass Effect for a long time now and Jesse and the team are very pleased with how the PS3 version has come out. Jesse explains the work that went into the PS3 edition, how the controls are designed specifically for the PS3 (but there are options) and more. He even mentions a bit about ME3 and the PS3.
Check out the new Mass Effect 2 PS3 podcast and look for the Playstation 3 version of Mass Effect 2 in stores in North America January 18 and in Europe January 21.
http://blog.bioware.com/2010/12/15/mass-effect-2-on-playstation-3-podcast-and-gold-announcement/
Bioware\'s latest podcast was all about Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 and what great changes are being brought to the game a year after its initial release on PC and Xbox 360. The first and biggest piece of news Bioware dropped was the use of the Mass Effect 3 engine, which will show much improved graphics from the earlier versions.
"We actually created the engine for Mass Effect 3 and used that to make Mass Effect 2 PS3." said producer Jesse Houston. "So we took the content and the story and all the other assets that made up Mass Effect 2, and we put it in the Mass Effect 3 engine. That\'s what we\'re actually delivering."
They went on to describe how much of the downloadable content from Mass Effect 2 will be included on-disc as well as the size of Blu-ray taking away the need to swap discs. The new version will also include an interactive comic that tells the backstory leading up to the game to assist players in making the key decisions that were made in the first Mass Effect.
The list of improvements went on and on, going into patches and tweaks based on critical and user reviews as well as suggestions from the Bioware forums. They really feel this is "the best version of Mass Effect 2" coming out on PS3.
VGChartz
Are you happy PS3 fans ? :D
-
damnit, I hate having spent so many hours playing Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox, having a save game with everything I could use, I saved every character that could be saved and... then it\'s out on the PS3.
I wish I could transfer the save games between consoles when Mass Effect 3 comes out.

Hellz to the yeah!!!...this game is like the GOTY edition...except it doesn\'t have the original game, but it\'s going to be loaded with the DLC\'s as well...:D....i\'m definitely gettin\' this day 1....and it doesn\'t hurt that ME3 will be on both platforms....then we have Uncharted 3 and the Last Guardian to look forward to...:fro:
-
is the game going to be 60 bucks? it ended up going to 40 bucks on 360 incredibly quickly for a GOTY quality game..probably because the masses are too busy buying michael jackson games...
anyway, I really want to play the DLC of this game but i heard its only a couple of hours for 5-8 bucks so i\'ve never bitten the bullet. I\'d assume the Liara DLC would be the most important one for the transfer for ME3 so i might get that before it comes out

I think it\'s even more than a ME:2 Goty Edition :)
So, after Mass Effect 2, we are looking for LBP2, KZ3, Infamous2, Uncharted3, Resistance3, The last Guardian, FFXIII Versus, Mass Effect 3, etc etc :D not bad :thumb:
edited : I think it will be full price, and I wouldn\'t pay less the full price for a Game like this, me didn\'t play, can\'t wait :)

DO NOT PLAY THE DEMO
It shows the beginning of the game and it\'s amazing the first time you see it. Just seeing it the 2nd time when you actually play through the game cheapens it
It kicks ass..just buy it

Yep, I never try Demos of Games I know to be Goty or excellent games; I\'ll buy it together with LBP2.
-
Yeah...same here...i never play demos of games i know for sure that i\'m going to get, and that\'s definitely Mass Efffect2 and Dead Space2.....:fro:
-
oohhhh, I forgot about Dead Space2 !!!! I didn\'t play the first, and I won\'t miss the second.

For 360 owners:
http://epicbattleaxe.com/mass-effect-2-dlc-is-the-deal-of-the-day/
"Lair of the Shadow Broker (800 MS Points), Overlord (560 MS Points), and Kasumi (560 MS Points) will be available today for only 200 points each (today)!"
sweeeet. I knew there was a reason i held off on buying these. Gunna be getting all three today though.
Saves some cash too since i\'ve been bored with my current games and all i could think of getting is GT5.
-
I just now started the story, so Im not sure how much bigger those will be from getting the team together but...
GOTY
Called it back in January :D
At least it was gametrailers GOTY. Havent checked IGN or any others if they have them up yet

Who bought ME:2 apart from Viper ?
-
I\'am absolutley lovin\' this game!!...i have already clocked in over 50 hours of this game....it reminds me a bit of the fallout series in the way the missions are layed out, but the visuals, the storyline, the characters, the writing and the overall scope and production values are a gazillion times better than that series.
And i\'m trying to sleep with all of the female characters in this game..:D...and i love how a couple of the female characters will say something if they notice you\'re tryin\' to bang everybody on the ship...:D
The characters are very interesting too and each one is dramatically different from the other and the dialogue branches feel amazingly natural...i mean alot of the responses are statements that sound real and not forced.
And all of the missions are amazingly interesting and characters will express themselves with incredible detail and colorful emotions and commentary......i\'ve not come upon one mission where i was dragged down a bit...i loved every moment of it....micro managing your team isn\'t a chore either...it\'s actually quite interesting....i\'m looking forward to ME3.....you\'re definitely gettin\' your money\'s worth with this title...
-
glad you finally got to experience the awesomeness
Did they put all of the DLC on the PS3 version? All those missions are really good too, but theyre only a few hours long each so I wouldnt recommend paying full price
Luckily the next DLC that comes out on Tuesday isnt that expensive, so ill be getting that no matter what when it comes out. Should be good since it bridges the gap between ME2 and ME3
-
I bought this a few weeks ago but havent got round to taking the wrapper off yet! lol

Yeah..they put all 3 downloadable missions on it....and question...is it possible to sex all the female characters?....Everytime i try it\'s like they\'re all aware that i\'m trying to bed them.....i really want to bang Miranda, but Jack, and the other female characters are aware. I\'m about 75 hrs in right now and i just picked up my last character, so i\'m assuming i\'m coiming towards the end...i still don\'t want this game to end...:D

Pretty sure its just one romance per playthrough. Kind of impressive you got 75 hours in one playthrough and you\'re still not done. I think my main playthrough was 50 hours and that was with all the DLC\'s and really squeezing as much as possible out of the game...then another playthrough took 25-30 hours to get the rest of the achievements

Yeah, i basically did all of the side missions before i picked up my last character(Legion) and i tried draining the majority of planets i could find for minerals and to try to max out my team\'s abilties. I also checked every nook and cranny of every planet i went to and i thought for a few minutes when it came time for me to pick a dialogue branch for my character (which probably explains my high playing hours).....I\'m sure when i play it again, it\'ll be nowhere near the 70hr playing time.
When i went to the world map, there was nothing else left to do except to go into the omega4 relay....i know i\'m towards the end since i went thru the relay already, (i think it\'s called the suicide mission)....i\'m not quite done yet, but i\'m lovin\' the climatic buildup so far.
