Happy second day of the work week, and to celebrate let’s have a look at the first two official Mass Effect 3 screenshots.
Which, I realize, look a lot like random screens from Mass Effect 2. You expected Mass Effect 3 to visually what–“level up”? Wasn’t the second game pretty enough?
In the shot up top, we have Commander Shepard blasting a better armored super-soldier while taking no doubt deadly in real-life (but only glancing in this sort of game) damage from a flanking second. I’m seeing other better-informed Mass Effect wonks suggesting that to say more about these two would spoil the tale. Rest assured, I’m no Mass Effect wonk, so all I see is one guy without a helmet about to have his vulnerable noggin split open by two guys with superior combined firepower.
And here we have a glamour shot of three Warhammer 40k Space Mar–I mean “stormtroopers” with red eye slits obviously slanted to make them look sinister while bearing who-knows-what practical purpose (also, some lovely solar flaring). Who said form need serve function, right?
Looks for Mass Effect 3 sometime this holiday for PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
