E3: Mass Effect in November News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

BioWare RPG finally firms up.

First-party 360 sci-fi opus Mass Effect will be released in November, Microsoft confirmed at its E3 press conference early today.

The game received plenty of attention at the event, held at Santa Monica High School, with new footage showing spectacular facial animations, large-scale space fights and Aliens-style vehicles, all lovingly thrown together by the chaps responsible for Knights of the Old Republic.

No specific date was given, but the game is now certain to hit before Christmas: Microsoft frontman Peter Moore promised that all games shown in Santa Monica tonight will be available in 2007.

Keep an eye on our Mass Effect gamepage for the latest screenshots and movies from E3.

Alternatively head over to the Mass Effect website to indulge yourself in piles of science fiction fact.

That new trailer was goddamn gorgeous. The 360 certainly impresses me once more on the software front. This year is going to be incredibly hard on my wallet.

Really delighted we're going to get to play Mass Effect this year. Though with Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Halo and others it'll more be a problem of finding the time to play it!

This is at the top of my list for Christmas. I'd have assassin's creed there, but I seriously suck at stealth.

Yeah, that's the only problem with this. I loved the spacy disco sounds from previous trailers.

Nooooooo, so far away. Been looking forward to thins game for so long.

I was thinking it may have been pushed back so far to fit in with MS release schedule, August: Bioshock, September: Halo 3, October: GTA, November: Mass Effect.

Roll on August and Bioshock!

It's not a first party title though is it. It may be exclusive to MS but they didn't develop it.

Quick question, is the battle system the same as KOTOR in that you have no real control over it, or is it more 3rd person shooter with RPG story elements (a bit like Deus Ex)?

Damn it. I might have to cave and get a 360 despite the fact the 'issues' haven't been fixed (properly) yet. Curse you BioWare.

You now get a 3yr warranty anyway + the new 65nanometre chipset codenamed falcon will be here shortly, it runs cooler and quieter...so they say. I'd say look into that and get one of the new 360's

Great 2nd half of the year for games! Need more time and money
