Mass Effect 2 – New Footage and Interviews
Game Trailers have new footage, interviews with Ray, Greg (Bioware founders) and Casey Hudson (Project Director and Executive Producer) and more teaser information on the new Mass Effect 2 due out late January 2010.
All your Squad Mates from Mass Effect 1 will be in Mass Effect 2
In the Game Trailers video, Casey Hudson confirms that all your previous Squad Mates from Mass Effect 1 will have a spot in Mass Effect 2! There was some renewed discussions around the net surrounding the fate of previous squad mates after IGN Video released the Omega Fight Video featuring what looked like Garrus Vakarian and what appears to be a New Squad Mate that can join your team, Morden.
Ray and Greg – No Comment on Mass Effect 2 for PS3
In a previous post here, Mass Effect 2 Mysteries and Clues I posted a link to an IGN Video that debunked the PS3 rumours for Mass Effect 2, however either Bioware have reconsidered their stance as part of EA or they are capitalising on rumour mill to spread the word of Mass Effect 2 even further on the net, they refused to comment on a possible PS3 port of Mass Effect 2.
Mysterious Halloween Wallpaper Explained
Posted here on Dungeon Planet at the launch of Dragon Age: Origins, there was a preview wallpaper of the Halloween Special Shepard Wallpaper.
Turns out the effects of Paragon and Renegade in Mass Effect 2 are not limited to just the Mass Effect story now, if you choose the Paragon path, your character will look healthier the more Paragon Points Shepard earns, likewise, the more Renegade Points you earn show up as scars and implants as you travel down a darker path. Whether this will mean actual combat bonuses hasn’t been said but it is definitely interesting
New Squad Mate Revealed – Morden
The Game Trailers video also reveals a new Squad Mate, Morden, a Salarian Scientist with a very much, “The end justify the means” approach to the universe. You also can spot him in the above Omega Fight Video
Vanguard Class Highlighted
The video also asks Casey Hudson about the new Mass Effect 2 Vanguard Class, seems the focus for the class is high risk high reward and comes with Two New and Unique Biotic Powers, Charge and Slow Time. The Charge Power enables you to jump right up close to an enemy, even allowing you to phase through solid objects while doing so, and can be use3d in conjunction with the Slow Time Power to enable you to move about the battlefield at breakneck speed, using a shotgun for even more up close devastating killing power.
The Elusive Man in Mass Effect 2
Also featured was the Elusive Man, head of Cerberus , he smokes, drinks and is a womaniser but incredibly charismatic and determined to protect mankind at all costs, though, judging from the first Mass Effect, he seems willing to abandon our own Humanity in order to protect it, should be interesting
