Mass Effect 2 PS3 Demo Used Old Build
Like most people, when I booted up the PlayStation 3 demo of Mass Effect 2 I was left wanting for more graphically, especially with all the hype surrounding the supposed ultimate version of the game. The Xbox 360 version looked superior in spots, but this is not by design. According to Bioware’s own Chris Priestly, the demo used a two month old build of the engine;
The demo was, for certification and testing reasons, about a 2 month older build than the final “what you will play when you get it home” version. I think you’ll see that the game is noticeably better at launch. =)
This does my heart good, as I myself bought into the hype building around the Playstation 3 version of the game. Whether this is just smoke-screen or not remains to be seen, however the wait won’t be long until the final product is shipped, as Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 releases in North America on January 18th.
