Mass Effect 2 Announced For Early 2010
Bioware has confirmed rumors that development for the sequel to Mass Effect is well under way, and they're planning on a release in early 2010. They mentioned PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game, but no information was given about a possible PS3 version. CVG has a write-up of what we know about Mass Effect 2 so far. Quoting: "In the shooting department the developer's official announcement promises 'intensified combat' and 'expanded weapon options.' We're hoping some of the work goes on improving the game's shooting mechanics, which were solid enough but could certainly do with some polishing to meet 2010 standards — especially in the cover system department. As for 'expanded weapon options,' we can only assume this refers to the in-depth gun tweaking and customisation options available in Mass Effect 1."
Thank you all those who posted but I'm aware it was planned to be a trilogy. I was just trying to point out that so few things that are good in media these days can ever simply stand on their own as being "Excellent". There must always be a sequel, prequel quadrilogy etc to milk it until it's not worth even recommending to friends. That or your recommendation goes like this "Ya the first one was excellent but don't bother with the others."
You should have said "Mass Effect and Microsoft suck", then you would have been +5.
