BioWare Releases Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Mass Effect 2 is almost here. Watch this trailer for a last peep before it can be all yours.

Mass Effect 2 launches tomorrow for both the Xbox 360 and Windows PC. Remember that those with the original Mass Effect's game saves can transfer them to this sequel; so if you haven't finished the first game, you have the rest of the day (and night) to get it done.

To celebrate the launch of BioWare's latest RPG epic, the developer has released this trailer to tease what we can expect in the second chapter of the trilogy.

See here for a list of the PC system requirements to run Mass Effect 2.

For those of you getting this on the very first day, don't forget to grab your free DLC!

The game looks awesome,"I Will Show You True Power!"

BTW I'm really starting to like HTML5,most of the video's I open play in HTML5 now.

My favorite game of the last decade is getting a sequel with every last aspect of the game improved.... *looks up to the sky in awe* They said you didn't exist, but I kept faith. Times were sometimes hard, but I believed in you! And now, when I've almost lost the last strand of hope, you do something amazing like this! Thank you!, THANK YOU, SANTA!

I'll beat it in 2 days. Haha, looks pretty good. I almost would rather watch it like a movie than play it.

Man the day when actual gameplay looks like that! I'll be busy playing BF Bad Company 2 PC Beta for the next 30 days to care much about this maybe at a later date.

Coincidentally, I am receiving my federal income tax return this week. I might purchase this when it is released.

i'm buying this game tomorrow, even though (it's been leaked online for a week now), trust me, if u still don't like the trailer it doesn't matter u won't be able to stop playing the game.

9.9/10 {very small bugs regarding sound and getting stuck in the environment} i'm sure the patch for those small bugs will be released tomorrow with the game. (WINK WINK)

Would be an unusual trilogy without at least a sequel :)

My download should be done by the time I'm off work tomorrow...

I'm hoping for three things:
- Better plot.
- More blue alien sex (interactive orgy maybe? Sheppard grabs the front and Wrex takes the backdoor while my second colourful hot alien helps out).
- We don't hear Fox bitching about 'fully interactive full nudity sex scenes in a kids game', when it isn't for kids, only showed a little side boob (nothing compared to those PETA adds) and isn't interactive at all.

A man can hope, can't he?

I think you might have hit the nail on the head. This has happened numerous times throughout gaming history. Especially on the Atari.

The dialogue in this trailer seems so stilted. The game might be great but as a cinematic work (which many games are lately), I think they could have paid more attention to script writing.

Have to find out about the DRM. If it has install limits and online activation required like the first one they can keep it.

From the Bioware forums:
"Digital Rights Management (DRM) - The boxed/retail PC version of Mass Effect 2 will use only a basic disk check and it will not require online authentication. This is the same method as Dragon Age: Origins. Digital versions will use the retailers protection system."

I watched this on Ign a few days ago... but man this trailer got me so pumped for the game that pretty much pre-ordered the game 4 minutes later on steam. Bio ware knows what's it doing i actually got the first mass effect on steam back in october because it got a good score and was pretty cheap only $20 what a deal that was. And based on the ign review this game is pretty much better in everyone way. I'm so excited for it to be done downloading
