00:08Hello everybody and welcome to GameSpot Presents Now Playing.
00:12I'm Sean McInnes and I'm currently joined by Adrian Cho, producer from BioWare.
00:17And Adrian is going to show us a bit of Mass Effect 2 today.
00:20Adrian, how are you doing my friend?
00:21Good, how are you?
00:22I'm doing very well.
00:23So let's talk about the demo that we're going to look at today.
00:26It's roughly 12 or so minutes from the game.
00:28It's not like the very beginning of the game as we traditionally do on Now Playing.
00:32It's sort of a select highlight of the game.
00:35We're actually going to go on a tour of the Normandy, right?
00:38That's right.
00:38We're going to show you some of the new areas in the Normandy too.
00:41It's actually a much bigger ship than the first one.
00:43I'm going to show you some of the cool areas you can go visit, some of the new features we
00:47have implemented.
00:48And from there, we're going to show you we go to a prison ship to acquire a new teammate.
00:54So it's a place called Purgatory.
00:56We'll fly down there and we'll start things off.
00:59All right, yeah, let's go ahead and start with our guided tour of the Normandy here.
01:03So where are we right now?
01:06So right now we're actually in Shepard's Quarters.
01:08We've actually given Shepard a nice personal space.
01:11You know, like after killing a bunch of enemies, you know, he needs a place to rest.
01:15Right.
01:15So this is actually a really unique area because we're able to kind of give the player a lot of
01:20information about the ship.
01:21There's a terminal to access a lot of information.
01:24Okay.
01:24Now this is actually kind of a cool thing.
01:26There's a, this is kind of a cabinet.
01:29And you can, you know, throughout the game acquire like model ships.
01:33And so it's kind of a neat place to kind of see all the different kind of things you can
01:38collect.
01:38Right now I think we have the newest Normandy in there.
01:42You can also see your achievements.
01:44There's his computer where he checks his Facebook.
01:46Yeah, that's right.
01:47Email, you know, mom, I'm doing okay.
01:49Survived that last battle.
01:52This is a fish tank.
01:54You know, later on in the game you can actually get fish.
01:56You have to feed them.
01:58And there's actually some other surprises I'm not going to talk about too much.
02:03Here's really cool.
02:04There's a new sound system that you can actually go through some of the tracks.
02:07Nice.
02:08So for people who are big fans of the, the, the orchestra, the soundtrack, they can actually play it in
02:13their room, kind of chill out, relax.
02:15This is the armor locker.
02:17We've actually improved the inventory system a lot.
02:19So in this place you can actually customize how Shepard looks both casual and in his, and in his armor,
02:28I guess.
02:28Oh, cool.
02:29Yeah, so you can switch between all the different armors.
02:31We'll show you that specifically a little bit later on.
02:34And the fish tank, probably my favorite part of this area.
02:37Oh, yeah.
02:37It's a, it's definitely a bachelor pad.
02:41Yeah, so, you know, this is where all the magic happens.
02:45You know, and maybe Shepard will bring, you know, a few friends over later on in the game.
02:49So I'm going to jump over to the different, the crew quarters and I'll show you a bit different part
02:54of the ship.
02:54So this is the crew deck.
02:55This is actually where you can find, you know, the ship's huge.
02:59So obviously you have a lot of people kind of doing all kinds of different jobs on the ship.
03:04And you can actually come in and meet with them and, you know, see what they're all about.
03:09Here's some crew members talking about their personal lives.
03:12You know, the really cool thing is in every part of the ship you actually get this really good view
03:16of all the different aspects of the ship.
03:17And this is the core.
03:18This is actually the heart, the heart of the Normandy.
03:22And we'll go down there pretty soon.
03:24But, you know, it's pretty cool that you get these little windows.
03:27And so you always get a good sense that this is a, you know, a very fully functional warship.
03:35You know, I'm going to pop into the girls' bathroom really quickly.
03:37Why not?
03:38You're there.
03:39Why not?
03:39There are no sexual harassment laws in the, what, the 23rd century?
03:43Yeah, if you notice, it actually detected that I was a male and I should be in there.
03:48And that's Edie.
03:49She's kind of like the brains of the Normandy.
03:51So she's kind of saying, Shepard, you know, what are you doing in the girls' bathroom?
04:00You know, this should look actually very familiar.
04:02The new Normandy is actually, you know, very much based off the first one.
04:06But it's a little bit bigger.
04:08You know, again, some areas will seem very familiar.
04:12In here is Miranda.
04:15She's got a private room as well.
04:17So you can go in there and talk to her.
04:20And then there's a little kitchen area.
04:22Dude's just kind of relaxing.
04:25Chiropods.
04:27But, yeah, all together, you know, the Normandy is, you know, massive.
04:31Here's the med lab.
04:33And some old familiar faces.
04:36And so between missions, you can go and talk to your squad mates.
04:39And that's how you sort of, like, expand on their characters a bit more than you would find in the
04:44story conversations.
04:45Yeah, during the missions, like, sometimes it's all really about action.
04:48You're busy killing people.
04:49So this kind of offers you an opportunity to get to know, you know, your team a bit more.
04:55Okay.
04:58Another bath out there, yeah.
05:00So now I'm going to pop back down to show you the core.
05:04So this is the engineering deck.
05:07You know, this is where, you know, this is how the ship runs, basically.
05:12Mm-hmm.
05:14And I'm going to show you the core of the Normandy.
05:21Oh, wow.
05:22So this is what powers it, drives it, gets you through all the different places, all the different locations you're
05:28going to fly to in Mass Effect 2.
05:30Is it safe for Shepard to be breathing in that blue smoke right now?
05:34You know, Shepard's a pretty tough cookie.
05:37He's a resilient guy.
05:38Yeah.
05:39But, you know, this is a really awesome environment.
05:41You can just, it's really powerful, but you can just kind of hear the engine kind of humming.
05:46And, you know, I guess the whole point is you really want to go visit all different parts of the
05:51ship.
05:51You're going to meet tons of different characters, you know, and you can kind of talk to your crewmates a
05:57bit more.
05:57But I'm going to go back up to the flight deck now, and I want to talk to the pilot,
06:03a familiar face.
06:06So here we are at the CIC, the Combat Information Center.
06:10This is, you know, where you make all the important decisions as Commander Shepard, you know, where you're going to
06:13fly off to.
06:16You know, here's the galaxy map.
06:17There's also the private terminal again, in case you have to check Facebook out really quickly.
06:24You have a new helper here.
06:27I'm going to go talk to Joker really quickly.
06:31Okay.
06:32You can kind of see, this is really cool too.
06:36If you're not at the galaxy map, it actually pops up an image of the ship.
06:39It gives you kind of real-time status of how the Normandy is doing, any upgrades you're going to be
06:43making on it.
06:45So we want to feed all that information in a very logical way to the player, and also very visually
06:50interesting.
06:52So Joker again is at the helm of the ship.
06:54I wouldn't have anyone else fly it.
06:58Commander.
07:00I assume everything is going well up here?
07:02Good for now.
07:03Fractured my thumb on the mute, but I think I made my point.
07:06That's it for now.
07:07See you, Commander.
07:10So he's doing well.
07:11He's making sure we fly to all the right destinations.
07:14Bones are just as brittle as ever.
07:16Well, spoilers.
07:17Spoilers.
07:20Joker's, you know, he's undergone some interesting character transformations in the sequel as well.
07:26So it's not always about Commander Shepard.
07:28There's going to be some recurring faces, and their storylines evolve as well in the sequel.
07:33Now, this is kind of like the armory section of the Normandy, and this is where you can kind of
07:36prep up before your mission.
07:39We've actually really fixed and improved upon the inventory system.
07:42We've shown you a bit of the armory locker up in his room, and this is the weapons locker.
07:47And this is where you can actually go through and take a look at all the weapons that you've acquired.
07:51Again, here's some new heavy weapons that we've introduced to the game.
07:54So it makes it a whole lot more easy, intuitive for people to kind of go through all the stuff
07:59that they collect
08:00and definitely all the weapons that they can acquire throughout the game.
08:05Here's another view of the armory.
08:12This is the briefing room.
08:13This kind of is the communications hub for Shepard, and this is how he actually interacts with the elusive man.
08:19And we've also introduced kind of a new navigational assistance, and her name is Edie.
08:26And she's voiced by Tricia Helfer, and she's going to kind of tell the player exactly what room Shepard's in,
08:33what's its function, what you're supposed to do there.
08:35This is the FTL communications room.
08:40In addition to interfacing with the FTL comm network, Normandy is fitted with a quantum entanglement communicator
08:46linked to the elusive man's office.
08:47This allows lag-free communication even when you operate off the comm grid.
08:53So that's really good, you know, for the players who want to find out more about, you know, how the
08:57technology works,
08:58they can investigate.
08:59Now I'm on a mission, so I'm going to go pick up a squadmate of ours.
09:03Okay.
09:03Potential squadmate.
09:04We're going to be going to a prison ship called Purgatory.
09:09And there's a subject that we're going to look to acquire.
09:13Her name's Subject Zero.
09:15And I'm going to go back to the galaxy map and plot a course, and we're going to fly to
09:21the purgatory.
09:22All right, let's head right there.
09:24No pit stops in the ladies' restroom.
09:27It's all business now.
09:28I believe it's from Admiral Anderson's.
09:34So this is a, you know, kind of old, familiar galaxy map.
09:38We're going to fly in, enter orbit.
09:42To give me a little bit of detail about the location we're going to fly into,
09:45if we think this is the place we want to go, then we're going to dock.
09:57So these new loading movies give the player a lot more information
09:59about the game.
10:00In this case, we're actually showing off some information about the Normandy.
10:05It's a lot more interactive.
10:08You know, and as much as I like the elevators,
10:11I guess some people got a little bit too tired of the banter.
10:14So I'm going to select my squad who's going to join me on the mission.
10:18I've got Miranda and Jacob.
10:19They're two Cerberus operatives.
10:22Shepard's working with this organization called Cerberus for the second game.
10:32So we're going to meet the warden.
10:33We just landed on his, uh, his little piece of hell.
10:38And he's not a...
10:40He's an interesting character.
10:42Yeah.
10:42So we're going to meet up with him and, uh,
10:45see what the ship's all about.
10:47All right.
10:47Let's do it.
10:47Welcome to the purgatory, Shepard.
10:50Your package is being prepped and you can claim it shortly.
10:52As this is a high security vessel,
10:54you need to relinquish your weapons before we proceed.
10:58Screw you.
10:59I like that option.
11:01I go wherever I want to, Galaxy.
11:03I'll relinquish one bullet.
11:05Where do you want?
11:06Everyone stand down.
11:08Commander, I'm Warden Kirill, and this is my ship.
11:11Your weapons will be returned on the way out.
11:13You must realize this is just a standard procedure.
11:18You know what?
11:19I'm a pretty badass kind of guy.
11:20I don't, uh, have to listen to anyone, so...
11:22I'm not surrendering my gun.
11:24Period.
11:28Ooh, staring contest.
11:30Our facility is more than secure enough to handle three armed guests.
11:34Let's go.
11:42Cell block two.
11:44As you can see, we keep tight control over the population.
11:50So we keep all the prisoners in the cells.
11:53And, uh, if, uh, anyone falls out of favor with the Warden,
11:57they just eject them out into space.
11:59Nice.
11:59That's, you know, that's one way to do it.
12:03The ship is made up of 30 cell blocks identical to this one.
12:07We house thousands of criminals.
12:11We can put the whole place in lockdown on a moment's notice.
12:17Nothing goes wrong here.
12:21Well, as much as I like to talk,
12:23I've got to find, uh, my cargo, so...
12:25Let's get on with this.
12:26Have you had any escape attempts?
12:29We're in space.
12:31They have nowhere to go, and they know it.
12:33But still, we exercise extreme caution.
12:36These are dangerous individuals.
12:43We have many ways to control the population.
12:48I'm going to confirm that the funds from Cerberus cleared.
12:51Our processing is straight down this hallway.
12:55Just keep going past the interrogation rooms
12:57and the supermax wing.
13:03I'll catch up with you later.
13:05Shepard.
13:06Oh, we like that Warden.
13:07He doesn't look like a very friendly guy.
13:10Yeah.
13:10So the reason why we're going to this prison
13:12is we're going to acquire a squadmate called Subject Zero.
13:15Okay.
13:15And this is a pretty hardened prison,
13:18you know, with basically the worst criminals in the galaxy.
13:22So it's a pretty tough environment.
13:31This guy wants to talk to you.
13:35Oh.
13:37It's not a very pleasant place to stay.
13:39No.
13:41So something kind of goes wrong in the prison,
13:43and now you're going to have to fight your way out.
13:46So I'm going to show you some of the new combat systems in Subject 2.
13:49I can do the quick map.
13:52And then if I aim at the enemy,
13:54I can actually fire off the power.
14:03So I can launch this right away.
14:10I'm just going to punch this guy.
14:11Good call.
14:13Oh, give it a hand cover.
14:15Taking a lot of damage.
14:16So what I'm going to do is,
14:16under soldier class,
14:17we've got a brand new power for him.
14:20It's called Adrenaline Rush.
14:21I'm going to launch that.
14:22It's going to give me a slight advantage
14:23under the current battle conditions.
14:30And then I'm also going to switch.
14:33Let's try a different ammo type.
14:35Rip Sue shields and spread synthetic targets.
14:37That's a disruptor ammo.
14:38Sounds like a good one.
14:40Let's see what it does to these guys.
14:41You'll notice that time's almost kind of slowed down a bit.
14:45Yeah.
14:45So it makes it a little bit easier to shoot these guys.
14:54So it actually matters a lot more
14:55where you shoot the enemies on their body this time, right?
14:58Definitely, yeah.
14:59We've got part-based damage,
15:00so you can actually inflict a lot more damage
15:01depending on where you hit them.
15:05Obviously, headshots are going to cause a lot more damage.
15:08So that's a quick glimpse of the brand new Normandy
15:11as well as the prison level.
15:13Okay.
15:13I hope you enjoyed the sneak preview
15:15that we've shown you today.
15:16Yeah, absolutely.
15:17Adrian, thank you very much.
15:19Before I let you go,
15:20one very last question for you.
15:22When is Mass Effect 2 out in stores
15:23and which platforms is it on?
15:25Mass Effect 2 is coming out on the Xbox 360
15:27and the PC January 26, 2010.
15:30All right. Thank you much.
15:31Thank you.
15:31All right. Thank you guys for watching Now Playing.
15:34See you later.
15:46Thank you next time for the Crafts.
15:49Bye-bye.
15:49Bye-bye.
15:50Bye-bye.
15:51Grazie per la visione!
