Just be forewarned that there's discussion of the series' plot and one potential ending for Mass Effect 2, in the event you don't actually want those things spoiled for you. Of course, you could always turn the sound off and just enjoy the amazing-looking visuals.

This looks quite impressive.

Can't view the video on my iPoop but is it as choppy as me1? I just got it, I enjoy it, but it's as smooth as some early ps1 games
The Baron @ Jul 11th 2009 10:51AM
From what most people have said, framerate issues on the 360 version of ME1 are completely gone in the sequel.

The guy's mustache at 1:23 is awesome. Oh, and the game looks good too.
avan @ Jul 10th 2009 10:27PM
This is what a real RPG should be
Pimliconite @ Jul 11th 2009 7:38PM
An FPS with extra long cut scenes.
Ashitaka @ Jul 11th 2009 9:16PM
A Star Wars game without lighsabers.

Marlan @ Jul 10th 2009 10:34PM
Well, I'm Hard.
zkey14 @ Jul 10th 2009 10:38PM
I wish I'd turned off the sound.
The Rabbid @ Jul 10th 2009 10:54PM
Why are they talking about the ending as though it's not a big deal?
"Oh yeah, and you might die at the end."
Thanks alot, assholes.
Succulent @ Jul 10th 2009 11:00PM
Why are you commenting about the ending as though no one who played it without the sound won't read them?
"Oh yeah, I'm a hypocrite"
Thanks a lot, asshole.
maveric101 @ Jul 11th 2009 3:23AM
even if knowing there's a possibility of you dieing at the end etc. is a spoiler, it was spoiled quite a while ago. it has been posted in several magazines and websites. besides, it doesn't tell you anything about the story. i haven't watched this video, but i think all that's really known so far is that if you're not careful with your saves and you die toward the end, you won't be able to carry that profile over to Mass Effect 3. i don't think what i just said spoils anything.
The Baron @ Jul 12th 2009 8:43AM
Perhaps thats a gameplay/story mechanic in itself - going into the game knowing you could very well die (and not just something you carry on from the last checkpoint) might be a hook in itself.
Aero @ Jul 10th 2009 10:54PM
Sounds like I'm going to need to save lots of separate files in this game so I can avoid the ending they mention.
On that note, if you get the ending they mention in this video, how will the eventual Mass Effect 3 work for you?
evalouielou @ Jul 10th 2009 11:27PM
I think I read somewhere if you get said ending, that you would play as a "different" Shepard for Mass Effect 3. I think.
ArchiGamer [thephilosophyofgames.wordpress.com] @ Jul 10th 2009 11:35PM
ZOMBIESS!!!
SpydaKat 17 @ Jul 11th 2009 1:14AM
I know what you mean. I can't take the emotional strain of losing my Shepard.
Unit076 @ Jul 11th 2009 8:28AM
@Archi: Actually, you play as Shepard's zombie clones!!!
... @ Jul 10th 2009 10:57PM
Any brave soul care to point out exactly where the spoilers are in the video?
DiGiTAL SiN254 @ Jul 10th 2009 11:04PM
last 10 seconds to be safe
DiGiTAL SiN254 @ Jul 10th 2009 11:05PM
don't go past 3:45 to be exact
Moptimus Slime (The Return of Princess Griffin) @ Jul 10th 2009 11:10PM
the spoilers are somewhere inbetween soylent green is people and Kevin Spacey is Keyser Soze
If you hit Mr. Orange is a cop, you've gone to far
Averna @ Jul 10th 2009 11:41PM
Way to ruin The Usual Suspects and Dogs! I was going to watch them tonight, damnit! :P

For extra safety, you might want to stop after "rosebud was his sled as a boy."
Blank-Mage @ Jul 11th 2009 5:08AM
Oh, and no one mention Darth Vader is Luke's father.
Tyler @ Jul 11th 2009 1:51PM

yolarrydabomb @ Jul 10th 2009 11:20PM
Oh wow. You guys just had to fucking spoil it at the end. Thanks alot! Now theirs no reason to pick up this game.
Like The Rabbid say. Thanks alot assholes!!!
Gameplay looks funner
melloncollie @ Jul 10th 2009 11:28PM
Yeah, because gameplay and the full story leading up to the ending are no reason. I fucking hate people like you. So he told you one of the possible endings. Big deal.
Averna @ Jul 10th 2009 11:42PM
Look at the very first trailer... I think its pretty common knowledge at this point
yolarrydabomb @ Jul 11th 2009 11:58AM
yeah but still they could kept their fucking mouth shut about the gameplay.
Now I wont be picking up this game anytime soon becasue I know whats going to happen at the end because bioware got big fucking mouths!
yolarrydabomb @ Jul 11th 2009 12:06PM
Keep their mouth shut about Shepard.****
cafecito @ Jul 11th 2009 1:44PM
Well don't fucking get the game, then. See if anyone cares.
The Dark Wayne @ Jul 12th 2009 12:51AM
or you could play it a certain way and get a DIFFERENT ending. I suppose we should suspect such d baggery from quagmire
