Mass Effect 2 Surprise Revealed

Incgamers writes:

That's right - the teased "coming surprise" has turned out to be a website redesign, going by the status on the official Mass Effect 2 Facebook page.

[TrevorPhillips]

Nice looking forward to see the website.

[NewZealander]

its funny considering everyone thought it was going to be an announcement for a ps3 version.

[Madusha]

"BioWare has revealed that the Mass Effect 2 surprise is a website redesign."

What?? That's it... we waited on the edge of our seats for a website redesign...? :S

I was expecting some new feature or something like that. Let's hope it at least looks good.

[Saaking]

wtf!? HUGE disappointment. I expected MUCH more.

[kaveti6616]

A f*#@ing facebook? F*#@ing bulls*@#!!!

[ThanatosDMC]

I hope they fix the cover system and the AI rushing. First one's story and everything else was great.

[hobokiller]

Lol, Bioware just messing with the fans. Still gonna buy this game though.

[sabestar]

Oh my God, I actually guessed what the surprise was( http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-... I got it by luck and was basically joking about it. Very disappointed.

[Shotgun_Roamer]

You can hardly contain your excitment

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

lolz, people talking to me about a failure rate...... ps3 gamer's predictions have a 80% failure rate.

ps3 gamer-"FF13 isn't coming to 360"

ps3 gamer- "tekken 6 isn't coming to 360"

ps3 gamer- "alan wake will never wake up"

ps3 gamer- "360 will be dead by 2009"

ps3 gamer- "konami isn't making any mgs game for 360"

ps3 gamer- "sony will never make a service that charges you"

ps3 gamer- "gears of war will come to ps3"

ps3 gamer- "left four dead will come to ps3"

ps3 gamer- "left four dead2 will come to ps3"

ps3 gamer- "killzone 2 will kill halo3"

ps3 gamer- "R2 will take out Gears2"

ps3 gamer- "2007, mass effect will come to ps3, 2008 mass effect will come to ps3, 2009 mass effect will come to ps3"

ps3 gamer- " mass effect2 will come to ps3"

lolz.

[Saaking]

Other than a few jokes and sarcastic comments NOBODY said it was gonna be a PS3 announcement. You guys are just making fools of yourselves.

[Guido]

"Don't for get to drink your ovaltine? Son of a b*tch!"

[pixelsword]

Or at least reveal the organic origin of the robotic scourge infecting the galaxy.

Ratz.

lol!

[Lifendz]

A huge annoucnement would be "Mass Effect 2 planned to have 10 DLC packs with over 200 hours of new gameplay" or, obviously, "Mass Effect 2 is going multi-platform."

Ah well. Can't fault them for trying to get pub.

@all the 360 fanboys laughing at the people that thought it was coming to PS3. Now you know how PS3 owners felt when 360 people were swearing that MGS4 was going to be annoucned for 360. Seemed like every E3 event for 3 years straight had predictions of MGS4 on 360. Difference here is that the gaming media isn't giving fuel to any rumors of Mass Effect on PS3. Maybe because they're still embarrassed over swearing MGS4 would be on 360 by now.

[Maticus]

They just want another smash hit site like the Dragon Age one... good on 'em.

[lightningsax]

Seriously! Saaking has it right - we weren't thinking it was a PS3 announcement. It would be nice if it came to PS3, but that's not the only way to play this game. Many of us have PC's, and we'll be enjoying a game that 360 fans seem to perceive as Xbox360-exclusive right alongside them. Possibly on a Sony Vaio. Why not? They're pretty good machines.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Wow!

Great news and definitely worthy of teasing fans over.

And here I was thinking it was DLC or something but a website redesign. very cool..

okay, I can't fake it any longer.. lame thing to tease fans about.

[mastiffchild]

DAmn right Crabs. What a load of balls that was!I was hopng for a reveal of some cool new feature for the new game and teasing something this banal is just crappy. They need to make it up to me after selling me the worst DLC ever(outside of RE5 Bs content-I mean did anyone seriously think those controls were made for any kind of MP? For Resi SP I like them, no problems, but for chasing and sooting avtual people? No, just no)and this kind of silliness does NOT help.

Also, I can't recall anyone seriously suggesting they thought it would be a PS3 ME announcement-why would they have thought that? I seriously thought it would be something amazing you would be doing in the next game but a website redo? Lame.

[TrevorPhillips]

I too was expecting DLC or something but didn't know it would be a website.

[RockmanII7]

[RockmanII7]

Seriously, No one clicked on the link? This is a duplicate.

[Omega Zues]

>.>

wow...talk about a big....never mind.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

[shutupandplay]

Aww, don`t cry ps3 fanboys. You still get that one game with the male shower scene. I can`t remember what it`s called. Oh well, it`s not like anybody outside N4G even gives a sh*t about it.

[Saaking]

hahahahaha, yet you're the one with male frontol nudity and a game called "Gay Tony"

You bots make me laugh too much. LMFAO.

[chrisulloa]

That's from The Lost and Damned, also if you're not mature enough to watch movies/games with nudity you're probably 12 years old.

[PlayStation X]

silly boy
its a expansion!

360 dont have games lol xD

[AngryTypingGuy]

I was just at Lensoftruth.com where they compare 360 and PS3 games. The current score is 360: 27 vs. PS3: 8. Not only does the 360 have more games, but it usually gets the best version as well.

The PS3 does have the best looking exclusives in terms of graphics though. Not necessarily fun factor, but definitely graphics right now with its exclusives.

[The real killer]

I don't like Mass effsct anyway, i do have a PC just the rest of the PS3 gamers.

Hehe, of course the 360 version look a little bit nicer.
Multiplatforms use only 25% or 35% the power of the PS3 architecture meanwhile the 360 use the fully 85% or 95% because those multi engine is always advantage in the 360 architecture, enyone know that.

[AngryTypingGuy]

Really? Are you a programmer? Didn't think so. Any way you slice it, multiplatform games, which make up the overwhelming majority, perform better on the 360. I'm really hoping the X-Engine delivers so it further enhance the graphics of 360 exclusives.

[kahlop]

I think a lot of people won't be surprised by this "surprise".

[Nihilism]

Lame, I thought they were going to announce something crazy, like that me3 is already being worked on and will be released 1 years to the day after me2...well a man can dream anyway

[swiftshot93]

wow. very lame.

[SpartanZero]

Hopefully we can stop mentioning Mass Effect 2 coming to playstation everytime Mass Effect 2 news surface. Bioware don't release it to the PS3 they don't deserve games like this on their console. Mass Effect is a 360 game at heart.

[Redempteur]

Why does everyone want to facebook or to tweet ?

can't we just post news , read news , discu news
or ( in this case ) have a simple site with information about your game without the "social " part ?

is it so hard or will every news game be obliged to socialise ?

i don't like this facebook and tweet are turned OFF on my consoles ...

i miss the old days .. like my old buddy otacon said :
"internet has changed ..it's a endless sea of facebook copies .EVERYWHERE !!"

[JANF]

wow, you are the meaning of anti-social, je je.

[Redempteur]

not at all i have friends ( REAL LIFE friends with whom i play rock band , street 4 , uncharted , lbp ) ...for example .. i chat with them on messenger for example ..

but facebook or tweet is going too far

i prefer people taking to me than smply posting a message on some blog or facebook page..that's how we should interract with people ..by TALKING to them ... not by posting a message on some social website ...

[JANF]

Facebook has a feature similar to Messenger and on top of that you can share videos and pics, etc... use it as a tool to get in touch with friends. That's what gaming is about, having a great time with family and friends, if you ask me gaming is a way to connect with people just like facebook and tweeter, although I have to admit i don't like tweeter to much.

[ndibu]

Seriously weak BioWare

[MajesticBeast]

wow whats next they gonna announce what they ate today that would be more exciting then this.

[XDF]

Good news...

PS3 Fans, don't worry, I heard eyepet is still coming in the Spring.

[Kugar77]

and God of War 3 before that, cant wait

[heroman711]

i hope they are just screwing with us and later say haha nah its really a multiplayer mode and online co op

[dgroundwater]

That's not funny. Co-op maybe, but Mass Effect can do better than team deathmatch >:(

[Ninji]

As soon as ME3 is announced. Obviously they are waiting so they can get past the timed exclusive beta test that the bots will be doing then they will put ME1 & ME2 on a single blu-ray disc with extras.

[n to the b]

lol "WAIT for mass effect 3..."

what else from a sony droid fanboy?

[Tr10wn]

Ninji every time i read one of your post i see only... no sense.

[the_union_of_PS360]

oh well since i'm a true gamer i own both consoles

ps3= creative, outstanding games the real future of gaming

360= what online social net working for gamers are supposed be like, an outstanding community, a good selection of games for the hardcore audience

[Nac]

I agree with some of that.

[00]

I just knew it wasn't going to be something worthwhile.

[Nihilism]

Whatever do you mean, this greatly affects all me fans :S

In other related news, me2 development team had a delicious fruit platter for lunch...

[psycho360]

A shock rather and a disappointing one if i may add.

[HappyTrigger]

Lol... I bet if the announcement was a PS3 version this article would have 500+ comments, maybe over 1000 degrees, and it would probably stay on the front page in Hot stories for weeks, maybe even months.. Meh, oh well..

[Consoldtobots]

funny that way isn't it, no matter how many haters there are, it seems games only become relevant when they are talked about in relation to PS3. Other than that the only that get hyped over 360 exclusives are hardcore fanboys.

[Nihilism]

Or it could be that this site is full of retarded ps3 fans who post in articles about a game that is not even on their system.

[Consoldtobots]

I have the first one on PC (best version) and even then it bored the crap outta me. YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME GET HYPED ABOUT THIS OVERRATED GAME and for one couldn't care one bit less if it never came to playstation.

[maniacmayhem]

PS3 fans are quick to say "OVER HYPE".

The new buzz word from the Sony camp.

[Alan Wake]

sony fans craying for this game bcuz thay didnt have games in 2010

but keep dreaming

[shutupandplay]

Tell me about it. They had a good 09, now in `10 they get GT and GOW 3. Woah.

[Tr10wn]

Fable 3, Mass effect 2, Alan Wake, Halo Reach and the soon to be announce PGR5 and maybe GoW3

oh and Natal is coming too so that means new games

[Mikerra17]

Eye Pet, Heavy Rain, MAG, GOW3, The Last Guardian, Modnation racers, Quantum Theory, White Knight chronicles, Agent, GT5

yeah us Ps3 fans should probably start crying now

[BannedForNineYears]

An article that was on N4G yesterday.
http://www.justpushstart.co...
Uhh, we already knew there would be a site redesign.
There was supposed to be another surprise.
-_-
Still waiting for it.

[Alan Wake]

u mean GTpoor?? we have best racing game ever (Forza3)

GOW3?? u mean Dog of war 2.5

[Mikerra17]

whats the 2.5 mean, I get the dog of war part but the 2.5 does not make sence,

Also you said GTpoor, which doesnt fit GTfive well at all unless you meant GTfour, but I would think a gamer as smart as yourself would know the difference between 4 and 5 right?

[wingman32x]

I knew it was going to be a minor thing. I'll still prob. check it out just for the hell of it.

[xg-ei8ht]

ThanatosDMC -

Sorry dude, that hasn't been fixed, the a.i rush more then ever.

[BYE]

The actual surprise is how underwhelming the surprise is.

[ViciousBoston]

I'm sorry i'm all for more RPGs on PS3 but I don't think Mass Effect is that great of a game. I personally feel it feels too sci-fi. It follows so much of previous sci-fi tv shows and movies...I just don't feel anything new about it that gets me excited.

[bjornbear]

talk about anti-climax

[DeadlyAnGeL91792]

permission to rape Bioware?

[Nihilism]

They just released the pc specs, and also that me2 will not have drm, I don't suppose that was the announcement???

[Sez]

I'm starting to feel sorry for ps3 fanboys. they keep hoping that they will get ME2 for the ps3. just stop plz. it's getting embarrassing

[Mikerra17]

its a good game, I have it for the PC and its great fun, I would just rather have it on the PS3, if you had the chance would you not want to play KZ2, Uncharted 2 or GOW3 on the 360?

[devilhunterx]

xboys are used to disappointments that why the news of a site re-design is a big news of joy for them. Pretty sad

[Roper316]

hopefully Shepard will have a personality this game. He always looked the same with his serious mug on. They need to make him have different sides and to show some emotion and not just the same monotone stone face character like the 1st game.

[n to the b]

didn't think Shep was too serious-faced all the time; but did always end up using the hawk-nosed bleached-blonde face preset because IMO it's the only one that fits the nasal voice of the actor. the female voice actress was also ok but even harder to fit to a matching mug. please give me more customization options, BioWare!

[OpiZA]

What a disappointing reveal. Keep it to yourselves or just announce it when its done... sheesh

[Sukebe_Gamer]

Weak!!

[Cyb3r]

Whats so great about a website redesign?

[divideby0]

LOL....hence I never care about these "stay tunned for an important announcement".... useless like this one was

[XsteveJ]

In the words of the Great Eric Cartman:

"Weak..."

[Digitaldude]

Or.
"Thats hella gay"

[ichimaru]

FACE PALM (-.-;)

何だよ！！

[ian72]

That was a poor suprise really.

[Digitaldude]

ROFL, 1000 degrees for a website redesign.
Holy sh!te, they must be doing something right

[SuperStrokey1123]

Thats it? LoL the things companies consider "surprises" now days lol.

[TheDesperadoKING]

It will come to PS3, but no one expected this surprise to be the announcement.

[SuperStrokey1123]

How have we always been right? We still have nothing concrete saying its even coming to the ps3 at all.

[00]

heh heh :]
