G4TV: Mass Effect 2 Video Preview

G4TV writes: "Dr. Ray Muzyka & Dr. Greg Zeschuk of Bioware gave us a preview of Mass Effect 2 today, live onstage at E3 09 Live, where they talked about the game with Adam Sessler and Olivia Munn. The second game of a trilogy, the good doctors talked about this particular episode as being the dark second act, with more brutal weaponry, better dialogue, and more killing than ever before."

Who is the girl shepard was fighting with? It looks like there`s a new charge weapon in there ....I like the missile gun.

KaBaW5466d ago

I'd say it's a new girl, unless Ashley survived and changed wardrobe.

Rockox5466d ago

Woah, spoiler warning there, dude.

This level is dark. It looks like Coruscant.

KaBaW5466d ago (Edited 5466d ago )

No need for one, is there?
I didn't really give anything away.
Besides, they have spoken about it, themselves..
And, say "The characters from the first that die won't be in the second."

KaBaW5466d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
