Mass Effect 2 inspired by Modern Warfare 2
Mass Effect 2 will be releasing on January 26 by BioWare and Electronic Arts in North America and after just 3 days of its release there, it will be hitting the Europe market on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft and on the PC.
The developer and its team points out quickly that the next game in the trilogy will be fixing up all the error that was wrong with the previous release such as the planetary exploration phase and also the inventory.
Now it seems, after watching the creation of such element of the new Mass Effect, that the team has drawn couple of inspirations from Modern Warfare 2, though publisher Activision and Infinity Ward is a rival to them.
Producer of BioWare Adrien Cho told to the media, “Look at Modern Warfare 2 – it looks great on the shooting side. Why not incorporate some of the mechanics of that with the RPG elements of our games?”
Adrien Cho have the believe that the lines that separates at present the videogame genres will be more blurred. He added further, “I see the hybridisation going further. Not just RPG games using features from other genres but the other way round too. So many games now have RPG features such as personalisation, customisation and XP.”
Electronic Arts (EA) been throwing punches at Modern Warfare 2 for sometime claiming that the new Battlefield: Bad Company from the DICE studio would have dedicated servers for the PC gamers. It will be valuing the importance of PC gameplay and also customization of it.
Jens Uwe, headmaster of the European division of EA, said in an interview on Friday, “In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty… The shooter space is one we don’t want to give up. It’s an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context.”
One who has played first Bad Company as well as the Modern Warfare titles may be knowing well that the games are very different in style and also in gunplay. We may also have found out that DICE is on the way of making some changes in it such as making the enemies more easier to kill to fall in line.
