Even the Illusive Man thinks Commander Shepard is building a dazzling team for his littlesuicide mission in Mass Effect 2. But all the same, Illusive believes Shepard is doomed if he can’t score trust from his new squad of intergalactic badasses.
If you were thinking, “Hey, I’d like to watch 90 seconds of footage from the next Mass Effect” this afternoon, then consider us mind readers. Above is a full, beautiful 90 seconds of ME2, featuring bits of radical dialogue from Martin Sheen’s pipes and some decent origins-related action (big worm, ftw).
Needs more footage, eh? Good news: look forward to a “full-length” trailer on December 22nd over Xbox LIVE. And, hell, look forward to the game late next month when it hits the Xbox 360 and PC. One month, guys!
There are significant reasons why ME2 is making me sweat in anticipation.
This? This is one of them. December 22nd... that'll be sure to brighten my day.
Anyways I beat ME1 for the fourth time today, DLC and all, assuring a perfect save for ME2. I'm so fucking pumped. I want everything regarding this game. I got DA:O today for the ME2 armor, I may preorder from Hamestop for the preorder armor bonus, I'm getting the Collector's Edition, Jesus fucking Christ I need this game NOW!
This is my most anticipated '10 title and not only is it coming at the beginning of the year but on my birthday? I'm speechless with excitement.

Damn dude! I only played with my one character, Rayne. I was tempted to create a new character but I can't bring myself to break the plot. I even went with (almost) all the same decisions from my first playthrough.
Traditionally, current-gen CGI visuals equals something closely to late next-gen visuals. If this is any indication on how the next-gen console visuals are going to be like, then consider me excited!
Man, I'm still working through Dragon Age. Plus I need to play through ME 1 again to make my final save for transfer. Bioware, why do you go almost three years without putting out a game and then put out two in three months?!?

Have a great birthday on the 26th! Hope it's your best. When I start up Mass Effect 2 I'll stop for just a moment and think "oh yeah Happy Birthday!"
I'm kicking myself, wishing I had bought a nice gaming desktop instead of a good gaming laptop last year. Can't wait to get this for the PC and see how far my laptop can go to play with all the bells and whistles enabled.
"Cautious optimism" was replaced with "almost wet myself" just now. I'm immune to hype, but I'm still going to hope that this game really does improve upon certain annoyances of it's predecessor. I dreaded the big empty worlds, and the big and mostly empty Citadel, and how every place I traveled felt scant and underpopulated.
Nice. But I won't jump on the hype train just yet, the first one was a bit dissapointing. I had a incredible good time with Kotor 1 and 2, the atmosphere was just incredible. I can't say I was that immersed in Mass Effect, though.

I haven't been this excited by a video game trailer in a long time.
:/
I've beaten Mass Effect 11 times with 6 characters
:D

So is this the first time travelling game and from now on we all remember it as if just played?

That is amazing...
I need to beat the original again before 2 comes out so I can import the save... lost my original saves long ago in a reformat.
Too much pressure!!!
Okay, that's plenty of time to build a new computer and finish ME1.
Brb, Neweggin'
Game looks decidedly spectacular so far though.
I wish i didnt see this though, they are showing too much story-related stuff!
I do hope they fix the Mako controls, though. ._.
