Mass Effect 3: What’s New, Kinect Support


the Reapers are back with so a shepherd
hi I’m Dan with watchmojo.com and today
we got a chance to speak to Dorian Kiki
in of bioware Montreal about mass effect
3 my name is Dorian chicken I’m a bower
module development director basically
development director is someone who is
in charge of mostly organization
shuttling the sort of elements and our
team here is working Mass Effect freak
so for someone who is unfamiliar with
mass effect could you give us a little
introduction to the game the key element
about mass effect 3 is mass effect
freeze the end of the tri ology it’s an
all-out galactic war it’s the final
invasion of a reaper which are a sort of
race of machine bar here to wipe out all
life in the galaxy and basically you are
commander shepard which is a leading
kind of a resistance against the reaper
so it’s it’s it’s very interesting
because of a grand epic finale of the
trilogy it’s also I think the best
moment people don’t know Mass Effect to
join the game just because the premise
is very simple you’re starting on earth
earth is attacked by the Reaper what do
you do so aside from multiplayer what
fundamental changes have you made to
Mass Effect for instance for someone
who’s played the others how would they
know that they’re playing mass effect 3
and not one of the other two that’s a
very good question I think we’ve been
improving a lot on the RPG action from
what I was mentioning both on the action
and the RPG sign okay so on the action
side now what Shepherd can do which he
couldn’t in the previous version is he
can slide on the left right so do some
slight rolling we improved also lot
melee combat so you have like know if
you’ve seen some of videos you have the
Omni blade where you can one-shot melee
kill someone so the combat is definitely
a lot more visceral you have a film that
have a lot more mobility you can go up
close you can roll you can even move on
staff and do some self kills on the RPG
side we really increase a lot
customization in the way you can play
your character so you can customize
weapon which means that you can really
personalize a weapon to fit with your
play style you can customize your
abilities so the power can evolve in
different branches so you can decide
like I don’t know a power like
adrenaline rush which is the one where
you slow down time you can decide that
you’re have more shell during that time
or damage protection to be
orienting the power more into defense or
in the opposite orienting into offense
and you know have a lot more damage
firepower very cool would you say that
it’s been more streamlined or more
complex ified I would say it’s more
accessible than ever and has more death
than ever ok so when wins it’s been
announced that connect support is going
to be had could you please tell us a
little bit about that what part it will
play in the game the way Connect is
integrated is we’re mostly using the
function of voice command so basically
the Kinect ability as a hard waste able
to interpret your voice and the way we
have been using you these two things in
conversation whenever you have a
paraphrase is you can speak out live a
paraphrase and then it’s just going to
tell a sentence of course God we’re here
to take you home and the other part of
it is you can send actually different
comments while you’re playing directly
in combat so they sing for example the
era shock wave or garrus this type of
family simple like that and so it alls
you to basically play your character
while still commanding these troops
finally you can even switch also your
own weapon so you can set for example
switched shotgun or something like that
and it’s switching to shotgun so it’s
basically simulating things that would
have been simulated by doing the post
command without if there was no voice
now seeing at the end of mass effect 2
that any if all of the characters could
have been killed at the end could you
maybe tell us a little bit about what we
can expect to see in Mass Effect 3
apropos to our old squad so yeah I
really cannot go in specific because
these are really post type of content
but what I can say is it definitely has
an impact an impact on multiple level
right you have conversation that can
happen some other that cannot happen you
have entire character that may be
present not present at all or replies by
never character so there’s a lot of
those things that do have a very strong
impact on the free little bit you know
in the same fashion as the impact that
war between Mass Effect one to mass
effect two I would say they’re even
stronger in mass factory thanks a lot
it’s been granted you remote you very
much
