New Mass Effect Combat trailer

New Mass Effect Combat trailer, *Now with HD version*

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/11/16/mass-effect-combat-video-uses-the-force/

The trailer shows us a nice long segment of gameplay, including vehicle and standard combat. We really dig the Moon Rover-style car with its various rocket boosters -- the giant gun doesn't hurt either. While the game is an RPG, the combat looks to be completely real time, even including an aiming reticle (and sniping). Another interesting bit that reminded us of Knights of the Old Republic, the main character sure looks like he's using the force to make objects (and enemies) float. All in all, the game is looking very sharp, and with KOTOR and Jade Empire under Bioware's collective belt, it's hard for us to imagine Mass Effect will disappoint.

damn I wont be able to watch till I get home ;(

[Glirk Dient]

Wow that game looks absolutely amazing. I will definately be getting it.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Woah, very cool. It does look like combat is completely real-time and shooter-based. I like the rover too

 

[CptStern]

I hate you people ....can I borrow your xbox when the game ships?

 

[Warbie]

That was pretty neat

I like the way you can lock onto the bad guys.

 

[Deadline]

yay for auto aim... I would love to play console-ers! YAY for windows vista and live anywhere

 

[VictimOfScience]

So its pretty safe to say that when this game releases, I will have a 360 E), esp. if it comes after Bioshock and/or Alan Wake!!!

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Loved KOTOR and Jade Empire, definately getting this. One of the main reasons I got a 360 too >_>

 

[CptStern]

finally got to see, holy shit does it look good

 

[dream431ca]

Yay for Bioware...I live by them to..not too far...maybe a 25 minute drive. I've been inside their studio around 3 or 4 years ago...it was neat back then.

 

[Asuka]

That looks amazing. Will this game have co-op? and mp?

 

[Agent.M]

Can we say "yet another 360 killer app!"

 

[DeusExMachina]

That looks amazing. Will this game have co-op? and mp?

Probably not.

 

[Agent.M]

That looks amazing. Will this game have co-op? and mp?

As much as I would like it to be, this game seems like its a little to wide open and free roaming to do co-op properly.

 

[TCfromBN]

The Combat just doesn't look right to me. I don't know why..

 

[smwScott]

Game looks absolutely incredible, can't wait for the PC version (which unfortunately will probably take a very long time, look at Jade Empire).

 

[ailevation]

Graphics looks good, but, the actual gameplay does not appeal to me at all.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

...You haven't played it yet though..er nevermind. Have you ever played KOTOR or Jade Empire? Same concept, and those were great games.

 

[ailevation]

Have you played it to confirm that the gameplay will be great? What? It cannot not appeal to me, because the gameplay looks like crap to me?

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

No, I played Kotor and Jade Empire, which the gameplay in Mass Effect is heavily based on.....so yes, the gameplay is going to be great :|

 

[ailevation]

But, I hated KOTOR and Jade Empire... I don't think their gameplay is great. So, what now? I am wrong?

 

[DeusExMachina]

...Dude calm down. This is Mass Effect, not Bioshock.

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

OOPS lawlers. Wrong thread. AHEM. Its heavily based off KOTOR and Jade empire which are great games. :| There post fixed.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Oh. ****. Yeah.

Excuse me while I make a broad assumption/prediction - GREATEST ****ING GAME EVER. :O:O:O

Also, HD version here, looks goddamn amazing - http://www.gametrailers.com/ (third one along on the news thingee at the mo)

Shit, they had to go ruin my Gears of War buzz...

 

[Adrik_Senturu]

Yeah, I love the way characters react to everything in game >_> Makes it alot more immersive.

 

[smwScott]

But, I hated Deus Ex and System shock... I don't think their gameplay is great. So, what now? I am wrong?

Well not that it's relevant to this discussion ... but yeah you're wrong .

 

[destrukt]

I really wasn't looking forward to the real time combat but now it looks pretty awesome.

 

[Cerpin]

Yeah, I agree. I loved the combat system in KOTOR, but this looks sweet. It's cool that you can fight on low-gravity planets and such as well.

 

[63]

Bioware = awesome.

 

[Warbie]

I really wasn't looking forward to the real time combat but now it looks pretty awesome.

Agreed. Realtime tactical combat with all the weapon/item buying/crafting and stat fiddling behind the scenes is something we've never had before, at least at a decent level, and I want it now!

 

[Bad^Hat]

And notice it even had it's own cover mechanic? Looked something like Rainbow 6's.

I really wanna know exactly what he did to defeat that boss creature at the end. That gravity/blackhole/whatever spell he keeps casting looks wicked, but it's unclear to me what it's purpose is...
