Talkin' about Mass Effect

Of the games at E3 2006 that raised eyebrows, BioWare's Mass Effect stood out just as prominently as Gears of War. This ambitious sci-fi action RPG is without question the closest the industry has come to actually producing a game that looks just as cinematic as a film.

No doubt this will be a killer app but I wish it was due out in 06.. I have had my console from Launch and I am bored with the games already. I want Lost Planet, GOW, Saints Row, SOMETHING DAMNIT! I was just looking at the ALLEN WAKE screens and all I can say is OMG.. The Allen Wake game is going to kick a@@!!! The screens are some of the most realistic looking scrrens to date for sure.. check em out!! http://www.totally360.com/gameinfo.php?gameid=67&details=news&newsid=545

6 - Turn base

Why do we have to have RPG's that are turn based any more? It seems so dated.

I just hate waiting for the inevitable victory, unless its a Boss.

Jade empire was such a breath of fresh air for RPG’s; they should evolve this fighting system rather than the KOTOR.

This game still looks cool.

its not turn based, but real time fight.

8 - What about KOTOR
Unregistered - Vincent 05.24.2006 14:01
This game looks simply Awesome. I love all of Biowares releases. I am a little upset though what percentage of Bioware is working on this game. No KOTOR 3 announcement at E3 ? This godsend of a game will definetly hold me over but when will I see Knights of the Old Republic 3? Any guess

It states in the article:

As for combat, it's pretty much the same as in KOTOR, a mix of real time and turn based battling, except in this case, you'll be using more high tech weapons such as blasters.

Sounds like you take turns to hit each other. Which to me is turn based whether it has some real time bits or not.

But if you disagree then please inform me what turn base means.


10 - Jade Empire

Don't worry. Its an almost 100% chance that there will be a next-gen Jade Empire. I think its safe to ask WHEN its coming out, not IF (I THINK !!).

11 - Real Time
Unregistered - Vincent 05.24.2006 15:24
KOTOR was sorta real time. Turn based would be like Final Fantasy where every party member attacks while the defending party sits there bouncing up and down. That definetley is not the combat in KOTOR or Jade Empire.

12 - #6 - Turn base
Unregistered - Prospero666 05.24.2006 16:08
Why? Because it's more fun. I prefer stratagy like KOTOR (best game ever) to button smashing crap like Ninja Gaiden (worst game ever).

13 - #10 - Jade Empire
Unregistered - Prospero666 05.24.2006 16:11
Jade Empire tanked. It was in a bargan bin within a month.

There will be no sequel.

Jade was the biggest disappointment of the year. KOTOR was the greatest game made to date. They screwed up Jade bad. They replaced game play with graphics. It was repetitive and boring... looked nice though.


14 - NINJA GAIDEN one the best games on xbox
Unregistered - KOTOR BLOWS 05.24.2006 16:16
Ninja Gaiden (best game on xbox 1, not including Halo CE)
KOTOR (worst game ever on xbox 1, my personal opinion i hate strategy games they belong on PC)

Well, my understanding is that you have real time fighting (over the shoulder view, like splinter cell) and that there is squad based strategy map in which you give command to others (like ghost recon), where time is "frozen" until command is issued, but there is no turn based system.

16 - IF....
Unregistered - Vincent 05.24.2006 17:01
If Mass Effect plays like KOTOR , it will be good. I liked the combat in KOTOR as far as RPG combat goes.
