This game is easily on par with Gears of War in screens. Animation wise, from the gamemplay videos that have been released, it will be on par with Gears in this area too. When you factor in the potential for more variation in the environments, textures and color schemes, (Gears was too grey?!?) it (the graphics) should surpass Gears. We'll just have to wait and see.

In the gameplay videos I have seen, don't think it surpasses Gears in animation personally. But then again the animation quality for Gears is amazing.

ANYTHING that is not better than gears graphicwise is not impressive IMO

once the graphic bar is set you find it hard to start playing a game that has normal looking graphics that is under the bar.

I played gears for a week and then started playing zelda TP and it looked like 4 years old...

but I still loved zelda as its zelda but has it been any other game than zelda I think I wouldnt have been able to finish it.

If you are insinuating Mass Effects visuals are just "normal looking graphics" I'll just go ahead and stop paying attention to you. :lol

Which game looks better, gears of war or mass effect. I think Microsoft has a good problem on their hands....

lip sync and other stuff in this game seems to be top notch but I honestly cant say that I like the graphics that much. it looks to steril, where is the dirt and other effects that makes the game look sort of real?

almost everyone in this thread like the graphics and writes that it looks amazing but when guy who DOES NOT like the graphics and points out what he doesnt like he is a troll?

Clean, to the point of being sterile, and the (previously?) robotic animation hasn't done much to make it feel any less artificial. Although these latest screens do seem a little bit, er, grittier, so that's a good thing. Are we supposed to get some new direct feed clips out of this deal?

I find Mass Effect to be far more appealing even though I do love the look of GoW. The shots released, so far, are the closest thing to all of the classic 70's/80's acryllic/airbrushed sci-fi art I love to death.

Given the size and scope of Mass Effect it blows away Gears of War. The Multiple characters multiple planets various enemies etc this game far exceeds gears of war

Holy SHIT! Check out the scale texturing. That's ****ing incredible! It is a very very good time to own an HDTV. :)

Wow, very impressive. I'm not big on WRPGs, but the more I hear about this game and the more I see of it the more I want it. Really looking forward to it.

The framerate is a pretty big dissapointment, here's hoping they get it up to snuff by the time it launches.

According to ign, the game is finished (!!!), and in the last stages of dev:

Described as a "next-gen BioWare game on steroids" by BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka, Mass Effect is all but finished save some polishing and optimization. Though Microsoft remains mum on an official ship date, it seems likely that Mass Effect will arrive before Blue Dragon's August release. The build shown off was not a demo, but the full game in its current progress. And it looks like it's not far from final code.

I have no interest in this game. But those graphics are ****ing amazing. Easily the best I've seen in a video game apart from Gears.

I only have one complaint. And that is the glowy effect around all the characters. It's really starting to annoy me actually in next gen games (yes even the Wii). It's like everything has to have 'full omg glowy background graphic filter' these days.

Regardless. This game looks incredible.

Bioware responds to some of Luke's issues (from Mass Effect forum)

We're actually pretty proud of the eyes in Mass Effect, so I think it was just a mistake or something. If there was anything wrong with them, it would have had to be specific to that build (minor problems do arise from time to time).

As far as the frame rate and such "minor quibbles", what the folks at GDC saw was a build of the game. It wasn't some special build made to show off progress or hype up a particular feature. It was what gets made daily around here. Sometimes the builds work great, sometimes they have a few small flaws, sometimes they explode like supernovas sending the team into hysterics trying to fix it. These things happen. Generally the game gets better and better with each passing build (barring Nova-type builds, but these get fixed darned fast).

The game is not optimized yet (as mentioned). It will still get multiple layers of polish and optimization before you fans get your hands on it. Personally, I'm really pleased that the only thing 1Up could find to complain about was stuff that I know will be fixed before we ship the game.

"Optimization" could mean a lot of things, esp. if what Luke said about the framerate is true. All the IGN piece says, really, is that it's coming before BioShock in August. That's really a three month window [May 1--July 31].

That's Blue Dragon, not BioShock. My mistake.

Gears was still pretty stuttery at X06 in October, ahead of the November release, and it turned out pretty well. If they are indeed focusing on optimization then I'm not too worried.
