10 Things MASS EFFECT Fans MUST Know From Tie-ins

10 Things MASS EFFECT Fans MUST Know From Tie-ins | Newsarama.com

11. Also according to Mass Effect: Invasion, Aria T'Loak is
no longer the leader of Omega. Infact Cerberus has taken over Omega & is now leading it since Aria had to leave for the sake of Omega else Cerberus had destroyed it. This new rule of Cerberus over Omega will be displayed in ME3.

Damn that article is kinda back to basics. History of illusive man and others are facinating.

Look at this:

The preload size is 9.8GB (of course if the soundtrack & other things are excluded) ? ME2 alone was 14GB excluding the dlcs. I guessed either the game is shorter or the textures are low res. It would be great if Bioware releases a texture pack for ME3 because ME2 had low textures which could be seen during the closeup scenes.

Lastly I hope the preload starts on March 2 according to Amazon's advertisement.

Small size don't exactly means that texture would be low. Oblivion was around 4.5gb and skyrim is 5.12 gb but look at the difference between them. So they may have compacted the game nicely so reduced size.

You're talking about Oblivion. Why are you comparing it with a totally different game made by a totally different studio ? Play ME2 again & look at the scenes where a close look is given on Shepard's armor, weapons, Tali's face, Garrus's face, etc. Clearly the textures look blurry or pixelated. When the game was released, character textures ranged from a resolution of 512x512 to 1024x1024 which is low. Thats why its best if they release some sort of texture pack separately. This is the final game dude. I dont mind even if they release a 28GB game this time. I dont want that this game is compromised on quality & length. This is entirely my choice & doesn't means that everybody wants this.

tryin to judge a game by its size???
not good.

mw3 and bf3 both were 13+gb in size and featured damn short single player campaign..

bf3 visuals were gr8 but mw3 wasnt a visual upgrade to mw2 even...forget black ops.

crysis 2 was 7.5 gb approx yet has ultimate eye candies and single player gameplay of about 10hrs or so.
..And all these game sizes are of original setup before installation.
moreover my me2 installation was of 4.4gb or so without dlcs and occupied close to 12 gb after setup...it wasnt packed or reloade..original setup from disc..standard edition.

u may not be much affected by a game release of 28gb bcuz you love it so much but still for gamers who prefer buying digital copies ...downloading such huge game could easily turn into nighmare.

Yes ME2 has some low res textures.But it is alright.how many times does a player needs to zoom to a certain thing.Moreover size vs gameplay & texture etc is a very bad comparison.
14+ gb of me2 was an example of improper compression or rather some step to reduce piracy.
Anyways considering this game also features multiplayer the size is acceptable.

@ varunb
Do you have any confirmation that they are using the same textures again ??
Maybe they compressed the game well.
