I have really enjoyed the Mass Effect series. I even liked the comic. However I’m a little wary of this multiplayer co-op feature. Mass Effect 1 & 2 provided me with the most immersive computer RPG experience outside of MMO*s. Unless Bioware can at least maintain that level they’re going to be slammed. I guess I’m skeptical because Mass Effect really doesn’t need multiplayer. It’s an RPG. It sounds and looks like the co-op is just going to be about blowing shit up rather than role-playing. If I wanted to just blow shit up I’d buy a FPS, which will undoubtedly do it better.
I’m also wary because Bioware is part of EA and since EA and Valve have had their little falling out it seems that the ME3 digital download will only be available through Origin. There are just too many bad customer experience stories about Origin.
While I’d love to be raving about ME3 there is just so much uncertainty surrounding this game. I hope my fears are soon put to rest because I’m really looking forward to a satisfying end to Commander Shepard’s story.
This looks exciting. Great music and the look feels very reminiscent of the original game. I hope the gameplay and story are up to the same standard. I’m very interested in this one.
Would you play Super Mario Bros using augmented reality if you could? This video is set in a park, but should you be allowed to play on the street or pathway? Or should it be an indoors only activity? What do you think should happen when you die?
This is very impressive. I watched this on my laptop and in the teleconferencing scene I was able to identify each of the speakers as easily as the test subject. Just think of the possibilities for virtual worlds or gaming. Most first-person shooter (FPS) gamers play with headphones because they need to know if someone is sneaking up on them from behind. There’s actually a whole range of surround-sound headphones aimed specifically at FPS gamers. This technology could revolutionise the entire industry.
