Mass Effect screenshots

I wonder if the universe the game is in will be bigger than Eve Online's universe, because that is pretty ****ing big
 
I am the only the one that consider the art style kind of unoriginal?

Yeah you have basically the entire galaxy, within said galaxy are a bunch of solar systems, within those solar systems are a bunch of planets. Most of all of which will be accesible.

This game is going to consume my life D:

Pretty neat ad. Characters looking into the sky with a bunch of bright lights, lines and numbers. I say they must ALL die!
 
After seeing a lot of Crisis screen shots the other day the graphics don't wow me at all but the idea sounds great :D I will buy this for sure
 
But Crysis just looks good from a technical standpoint. The art is kinda boring, although very realistic.
 
imo this looks much better hen crysis, and that game is amazing. But the thing is, in the first screenshot, it doesn't look like your watching a screeny from a games, it looks like it's a real fracking alien woman, looking at you.

All the normal parralex bumpidy shader 4.0 thingies can't compete with that.
Hell many PRman, Vray, and MR renders I have seen of humanoids, can't convey a real presence like in that screeny.

It's like there is nothing wrong, most of the time, there is always something the way it should not be, maybe the eyes are a little bit off or a particular muscle, which no matter how good the renderer always frack up the immersion a bit, but with that screeny, everything is just the way it should be.
 
Fark, my brain just imploded.
 
IMO i think this game will own Crysis on terms of scale and things you can do, maybe i have lost passion for games, but i really aint that hyped about Crysis, its just seems to me the developers just recognise that they have all this technology, cram it all into one game just so it can say, 'hey look at me, im an FPS with the best graphics seen to date, obviously you must buy me'. Sorry, it aint fooling me.

This opinion btw, OPINION.
 
That's fantastic. Halo 3 and Crysis pop up in this thread for absolutely NO REASON.
 
Goddamnit I cannot wait for this game. That new shot is just... holy shit.

ya they're just a bunch of Age of Conan fanboys ..it's almost as if they're Age of Conan jealous that Mass Age of Conan Effect is such a good looking Age of Conan game
 
lol, looks great I was pretty Bioshocked by how good Mass effect looks, the Bioshock hit me right between the eyes, Bioshock.
 
Personally MARIO I think Mass MARIO Effect looks amazingly good. It's certainly MARIO up there with my most MARIO wanted games.

Seriously though, it will be great MARIO!
 
If I had one gripe with the media for this game it would be the generic sci-fi look, think fifth element / star trek. Otherwise looking brilliant as usual.
 
You're all being PSYCHONAUTS! really PSYCHONAUTS!. I think that you should PSYCHONAUTS! back to talking about Mass PSYCHONAUTS! Effect.

(PSYCHONAUTS!)

I wouldn't say a real alien woman, but i do find the graphics alot more convincing than Crysis, in terms of people anyway.
 
The characters look as good as model wise but the skin detail and skin shaders are far more realistic in crysis at a glance. Also havn't seen any characers in dialog or moving yet, which is what makes or breaks a games realisim.
 
I totally disagree. I just glanced at the very first image posted in this thread, and that blows anyway anything i've seen from crysis in the model department.

Both of those are from the alpha or beta builds of Halo3. Bungie has stated numerous times that the graphics are going to be a serious kick up from Halo2. . . and you do realize the top one is an ingame shot right?

You do realize we have been using normal mapping/bump mapping since, like, Doom 3? I don't know how you can be so impressed with a game that is finally jumping on the 03 technology bandwagon.

Oh, the human characters or the alien ones? I'm not seeing it o_O

I'm considering both, cause if you can make aliens look as good as the humans, they're winners in my book.
 
Well that makes sense, I was only talking about the humans. Side by side the skin quality is noticeably higher from crytek's artists, along with the inclusion of sss shading on their skin which I can't see in mass effects screenshots, their skin looks very matted, that was my only point.
 
It looks nowhere near as good as Crysis.

She seems quite basic compared to the guy above. And they all seem to be staring woodenly into vacant space like Orlando Bloom. I've seen better models than her on Polycount ffs.
 
Bearing in mind your comparing a human with a alien here. :p They are expected to look different.

I guess the big black guy is staring into the vacant jungle with deep meaning. Or something.
 
Still. It's Crytek.

Please don't compare them to Bioware. It's not fair.
 
Mass Effect is apparantly meant to contain the most sofisticated chatting program seen on a game to date, beat THAT Crysis.

Black dude gives me uncanny valley. Mass Effect gives me 'Actor dressed up in heavy make-up off the set of Star Wars' effect.

I think Mass Effect wins.

Agreed. You can tell that the second he opens his mouth to talk he'll look like a model with a skin stretched over it.
 
You're just being fanboys if you think that chick is a better model than the guy above. Fair enough they both may look wooden, but the crytek model looks 10x technically better than her in almost every single way, and also beats the guys faces in the other ME images. If the guy was looking at the camera it'd look even better.

It's not fanboyism, as I'm not sure I'll even buy Crysis, it's just fact.

The chick looks like she's from KOTOR and not a next-gen game.
