Totally Fresh Mass Effect 1 And 2 Info Leaked From OXM
Mass Effect fans can rejoice, as a user on Neogaf claims to have gotten hold of some leaked information on Mass Effect and its sequel from the June issue of OXM. It’s totally possible that all of this is mere rumor, but the information here seems believable.
It seems that some new DLC for the original Mass Effect has been confirmed, and that it will be the last DLC for the game. “We are definitely working on a substantial new DLC,” Bioware is quoted to have said to OXM. “Thatll be the last thing between Mass Effect 1 and 2 in terms of content.”
Most of the information provided in the NeoGaf post is about Mass Effect 2, however. Here are a few details taken straight from the original post.
- You WILL play as Shepard, but for how long we don’t know
- There is a new species called the Drell and Thane is a new character who is an assassin and may join your party
- Planets – There will be a Krogan planet, and Illium, an Asari planet, that is like Coruscant from SW. Also there is “Omega” with is like an anti-Citadel in that it’s huge and it’s the bottom of the barrel whereas the Citadel is the height of civilization. Also a Cerebus mothership will act as a location of significance.
- Story – The ultimate story is still civilization fending off the Reapers, but this chapter will deal with this Cerebus corporation and it’s enigmatic leader. There are human civilizations disapearing and it’s up to Shepard to investigate, it’s termed as a “suicide mission” which may lead to the details of the teaser.
- New vehicle that controls better than the Mako…a “new” control scheme….motion control maybe?
- Totally revamped inventory system!
- Elevator system revamped where you will get the sense of scope of where you’re at and where you’re travelling.
- NO MORE TEXTURE POP IN!
- Secondary races like Volus and Elcor are much more mobile, giving more depth and makes things more interesting.
- Choices are more meaningful and there is a real risk that major support characters (i.e. anyone not Shepard) can and will die.
- Also on the story, they’re super-hyping the ending, saying that it’s much more grand meaningful in ME2. ME1 had one of the most impacting endings ever, how the hell are they gonna pull this off?
- More weapons, more species, more/new team members.
- returning team members, locations, weapons.
We’ll probably know a lot more about this stuff after E3, but this seems like a pretty legit leak for now. Hopefully that DLC will come out soon, though.
