*UPDATE* Mass Effect X06 demo trailer on Xbox Live now
Take an age-old plot line of “post-apocalyptic survival” and time warp it into the 23rd century, and you get something of the Third Reich in whole new level. While Planet Sera has that sort of thing going on, FPS-style, Mass Effect is serving it up through the RPG genre. It’s going to be a holocaust of organic lifeforms as an alien race of machines are about to come back after 50,000 years in order to harvest some living organisms.
Yes. It’s an RPG. That’s how BioWare puts it. But maybe some of you would rather have it as action-RPG, what with all the aliens to blow up, machines to handle, and hi-tech weapons to carry. Regardless, you can check it out for yourself soon enough.
By today, December 8, the developers are going to upload their X06 demo trailer on their website and right on Xbox Live! They’re not sure what time it’s going to be there, but they assume around mid-morning (in Alberta, Canada). Maybe by the time you’re reading this, it’s already available for download, so better keep tabs on your Xbox and behold the glory of an alien invasion.
*UPDATE!* The video’s out! If you haven’t been able to catch it in Xbox Live yet, or if you’re trying to save some valuable memory space, then why not just click below to check the full vid itself. It’s Mass Effect in all it’s 5:22 minutes glory, including a commentary from Project Director Casey Hudson himself!
