Speaking with gaming website Joystiq at this years E3, BioWare's co-founders Greg Zeschuk and Ray Muzyka has confirmed that the second DLC for Mass Effect will be detailed and announced real soon.

According to Ray Muzyka, he was even playing the DLC in Bioware's office before going to E3 2009. Last month, OXM has confirmed that Mass Effect 1 DLC is in the works and it will be the last thing between Mass Effect 1 and 2 in terms of content. The first DLC of the game announced last February 2008, titled “Bring Down The Sky”, featured a new uncharted world that introduces a notorious humanoid species with four eyes called batarians.

I'll post more when it's announced. Can't fucking wait!

WTF? DLC 2 years after the game is released. Would be kinda cool if I hadn't traded in my game a year ago. I might consider getting the game again and playing through just to refresh my memory if i didn't have to drive around those planets on that stupid space hummer.

lulz. it'd be worth it to have additional saves to see how it alters ME2.

Level doesn't matter with transfering saves to ME2, so you can skip all those side quests that involve boring ass moon driving shooting at giant worms from hell, and just cruise through all the fun story missions.

They've always talked about this coming, just never any details. I bet you could pick this game up on the cheap.

I imagine this will have a bit of tie in with ME2.

I'll get the DLC when it comes out. I really hope it somehow it bridges together ME and ME2.

The second piece of DLC for Mass Effect has been revealed, thanks to the official Swiss Xbox website. It's called Pinnacle Station, a "remote, top-secret space station".

BioWare reveal that Mass Effect 2 will be launching simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PC when it goes retail next year. They "learned a lot" from PC's Mass Effect, "put it back into 360".

According to the translation from the Swiss Xbox site, 'Pinnacle Station' adds "2-3 hours" more gameplay, and it costs 400 Microsoft Points. The "remote, top-secret space station" offers 13 battle scenarios for Commander Shephard to go through.

It lists the file as 237MB in size and that it debuted on June 16th, which is of course baloney. An Achievements leak has already confirmed the DLC is in the style of a fight club, which BioWare themselves hinted.

Meanwhile thanks to Mass Effect for PC, which is due a patch soon, Mass Effect 2 can launch on both platforms at the same time. "We learned a lot from building the PC version before, and having built it six months later there was a big difference. So we actually took what we learned from PC and put it back into 360," Jesse Houston told VG247.

"Fundamentally, we want you to have the same gameplay experience, but just with the difference in controls. This time round, doing it at the same time for a sim-ship, we can control the differences much more smoothly because it’s the same team building it now."

Huge changes are coming in the sequel, with improved and more fluid combat and much greater inventory management with revamped customisation of weapons and gear. Not to mention enemies that can have their limbs crippled, unique uncharted worlds to be explored, a whole new vehicle for traversing...

...heavy weapons, the interrupt dialogue system, fuel for the SSV Normandy, revamped class system, greater squad control and smart flanking AI, plus loads more!

for realz? and you like RPG games too.

Although it's just one group of people's opinion, IGN has ME pegged as the #1 360 title, period!..........and I agree


Considering how cheap you could find it right now.......would be crazy not to give it a go. ME2 should easily compete for GOTY in 2010.......wouldn't want to miss that either!

Holy balls that came out of no where, they just revealed that shit a few days ago.

Yea Mass Effect 1 is truly amazing. The gameplay is real nice, it has rpg elements to the game but theres a lot of shooting involved, the dialogue system is awesome, your choices are nicely filled with consequences and the soundtrack is one of the best.

[Leftwich]

Don't they only sell $20 and $50 packs?

yeah I loaded my last save which is in fuckin Noveria. I'm like 2-3 hours from getting back to the Normandy.

guess i'll check this out on the weekend when I have time. lol

Don't they only sell $20 and $50 packs?

seems so strange to me to connect 'buying microsoft points' with 'going to a store'.

I have to redownload Bring Down the Sky to access my old characters, but even then I think the only saves I have for my level 60 on my new hard drive are on the last mission when it's too late :banghead:

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

IGN gave it a 5.0

[Prodigal Son]

looks bad. Glad I decided to hold off on downloading it when I saw it pop up.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

I tried playing it with my level 22 engineer and that shit is fucking impossible even on casual. I'm going to have to start a new game with my 60 I guess.
