Mass Effect - E3 2006 Beta Gameplay Trailer [High Quality]

[@MaheshMoodley]

Mass Effect was ahead of its time, truly revolutionary

[@MACHINArebirth]

I don't think it was ahead of its time , I think it came out at the correct time but the gaming industry went backwards when it came to RPGs like this

[@jaredc304]

Mass Effect built on the foundation that KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) laid down. It was great, but without KOTOR several years prior, I’m not sure if Mass Effect gets made.

[@ProtheanJavik]

Yes, as a primitive species you made a work of art and I appreciate that.

[@smashboybrawl]

it's a little weird to see prototype male Shepard's face, still one of the best trilogy of all time in gaming

[@SeriousDragonify]

"My face is tired". Andromeda wasnt first. ME1 was first which didnt even have that awful dialogue.

[@AceParty]

I still have this video from the Xbox 360 marketplace on my Xbox 360. I remember the day I watched it for the first time in 2006, I was so hyped!

[@YoungMrBlue]

I have the blood dragon armor trailer

[@Agent789_0]

I wish they kept the ability to directly control your squamates.

[@FallenRamone]

I miss the old Bioware

[@Unadvised8849]

We all do, friend.

[@nicho2328]

Mass Effect 1 is the goat. I wish I could play it for the first time again.

[@Inic]

I never saw the demo back then but I remember seeing images on a copy of GameInformer and being amazed at how real it looked. Especially, Wrex. It was mind blowing.

[@christvsBrazilivs]

The beginning of one of the best sci-fi franchise, and one of the best sagas of all time.

[@DukeDudeson]

Guess this was before they hired handsome AF Mark Vanderloo.

[@wingingitwithbleep8934]

the blueprint for almost every rpg released after it.

[@SolidJungle]

This is so cool, hope they bring back some of the grittiness and mood to the next games.

[@sash9249]

The soundtrack for this was peak

[@chilbiyito]

Shepard is mogging everyone

[@jakelol5119]

So glad they didn't stick to that face for shepherd. The face used in all 3 games is the best one.

[@Lokislav]

the thing is though, many people try to create custom faces which are doomed to look even worse than this one lmao

[@ayoo_keenan8246]

I like how showed renegade shep and showed how ruthless we can be in the game compared to fucking veilguard with the pat on the back its going to be okay ass dialogue

[@M.A.R.S.]

Fun fact: that low noise during the title appearance is a bear-proof garbage bin lid being opened by the sound guys.

[@youngdud21]

After playing the Legendary Edition seeing this is so fucking weird especially early Male Shepards face thank god they changed it......Its also weird to see how Ilos was one of the first words they seemed to design yet its at the very end of the game, and that shot at 3:44 is the platform the Beacon is on Eden Prime

[@IndorilTheGreat]

Interesting that they took away the "dual voice" from Salarians and included it with Turians. I wonder if the turians also had that vibration, or if it was swapped?

[@YoungMrBlue]

I feel bad for Ashley’s original voice actor who got ditched entirely

[@Unadvised8849]

This one honestly sounds better.

[@repvoid7680]

Even with the horrendous framerate on the 360. I must have replayed Mass Effect over a dozen times!

[@damatar]

I was pumped back in 06!

[@TheBlindRaven]

I really loved the layout of the galaxy map. Why didn't they go that route? No matter. The games are the best ever to exist. EVER.

[@tyson-peak15]

Ashley kinda sounds like Kasumi

[@King_Kev78]

Can we plz get beta footage of Mass Effect 1-3

[@YoungMrBlue]

We got beta footage of 2 as well as beta footage of 1 later in development with a new ui

[@matthewhainer189]

Compare to Starfield

[@SP95]

Now I understand why the retail game looks so ugly ! Apparently they had to break their game for optimization purposes because this demo is far too pretty for the targetted console

[@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643]

The retail looks ugly? Are you high? It looks great for its time and scale. Jeez your standards must be insane.

[@purefoldnz3070]

the beta is still more advanced than Veilguard

[@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643]

That's a lie and you know it, trying to cope is kinda childish.

[@purefoldnz3070]

@@BuryTheLight-tds so as captain obvious you want me to cope for having an opinion? okaaaaay.

[@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643]

@@purefoldnz3070 you having an opinion doesn't negate criticism and pointing out how silly it is..face it, veilguard is just the new trend of hating on and you just want to follow suit. Grow up my guy, it is objectively clear it is not as advanced as veilguard..stop the cap

[@prezidenttrump5171]

Was just thinking of this the other month, but the quality was so bad everywhere else I had to bail. Thank you so much for uploading this in such high quality, you have no idea what a special time in my life this was. The dawn of such an incredible Trilogy. I remember hating the downgrade at the time, but I got over it quickly because of the incredible writing. INCREDIBLE, INCREDIBLE WRITING. Wish we could have something half as good these days. They'd stop half the conversations to talk about sex etc now.

[@Yeeyeeazzhaircut]

Too bad mass effect Andromeda still looked like the prototype of mass effect in E3 2006

[@gamesadergaming1321]

I'm looking forward to the next ME, let's hope the team from DA don't screw it up like they did failguard and if they do succeed in destroying another beloved franchise, we still have amazing games like Exodus to look forward to, and the untitled sci-fi game from Casey Hudson & his team at Humanoid Studios.

[@swampfireian41]

can you losers crawl back to your gooncaves in 4chan

[@42crazyguy]

Incredibly talented visionaries working at bioware during this time. Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Dragon Age. All within 4 years of each other. All new IP.
