X05 Impressions - Part 1

 by Maarten Goldstein Oct 05, 2005 2:01pm CST tags: BioWare
As promised, here is the first installment of my look at several Xbox 360 games on display at Microsoft's X05 event. This part offers impressions of Dead Rising, Project Gotham Racing 3, The Outfit and Mass Effect (though the only thing shown was a teaser trailer, BioWare did talk a bit about their new RPG behind closed doors).
Announced at the start of the show, Mass Effect is BioWare's latest ambitious RPG project. Set in the 23rd century, humankind has finally discovered that there is a much larger galactic community out there then they could have ever imagined. Problem is, it turns out humans are inferior and are now struggling for their place in the universe. The setup for the game is the Core Conflict, humanity's struggle against highly advanced AI driven creatures. The player in the game is the commander of a spaceship, and in Mass Effect you will directly help shape humankind's destiny.
More X05 coverage will soon follow.
