Mass Effect 2 Announced For Early 2010

Posted by Soulskill on from the allegedly-no-holds-barred dept.

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."

    Because nothing that was "decent" can exist with out a sequel.

      I'm aware of the fact it was planned to be a trilogy. This doesn't really mean anything to me. It's just 2 extra chances they get to mess up.

      Face it, Mass Effect sucked.
      I would rather enjoy a nice game of CoD.
