Mass Effect 2 E3 Preview

Just in case you haven’t heard enough about Mass Effect 2’s E3 appearance, there’s another preview to check out on WhatIfGaming.

Mass Effect 2 also gets combat options amazingly right as well. Commander Shepard will now be able to issue move and attack orders to each squadmate individually. The pause-and-play action still remains, but BioWare stressed real-time action would be made more viable than ever before. Shepard continued to fight his way across the space station. BioWare showed off multiple physics-based attacks that sent Shepard’s exigent enemies to their deaths. Mass Effect 2 also comes with nine new classes of weapons, which include heavy weapons, such as a missile launcher and light weapons.

Mass Effect 2’s visuals are simply more regnant of a darker and grittier tone than before, as well as a lot smoother. The new character models speak smoothly. As Shepard moved closer to his target recruit, the environment’s details poured forward with red and blue and all the pretty colors giving incredible contrast and aspect. Shephard encounters an Asari that is shocked to see Shepard. She turns to Shepard in shock, pronouncing (Shepard?! But.you’re dead.) A conversation ensues, and it is extremely noticeable how lifelike the characters are in the mannerisms in which they present their dialogue and emotions.
