Mass Effects Chris explains what went wrong with ME screen shots (link)

I knew this game wasnt downgraded I can wait for it =]

"The whole truth of the matter is that the person at BioWare who took those screenshots made a mistake. People in our industry don't admit this much, but we do make mistakes. The person took those screens at the last minute as they were needed for the article. He did take them in game from areas of the game that worked and then he sent them off to Gamespy. He didn't clear them with Casey and the ME team though. Once they showed up, there was "a few people" upset about them going out when they obviously looked so poor. It was our mistake for releasing 3 screenshots that don't accurately reflect the quality that is going into Mass Effect."

Anyone whose seen gameplay videos knows that it looks better than those screens.thirstychainsaw

So why not correct the problem and release some new screens?TekkenMaster606

lol i know.. there are a million videos that show how good ME is and all of a sudden after three screen shots fanboys yell "teh downgrade"....killtactics

The cows eat this one up and it end up to be a mistake.

haters = owned!

I knew something wasn't right about those three screens.

This new screenshot proves that the optimized portions of ME look just as good as previous trailers.

So in other words he took direct screen shots of the real game instead putting up some doctored up press release safe ones. People need to realize screen shots from in game look worse than it will in game, and publicity screenshots are unrealistically crisp and clear because they're rendered on a PC.Lazy_Boy88

are you EVER going to accept the fact that what your sayign is completly wrong? they released horrible screenshots by accident. that is not what the game actually looks like. every other screen shot and gmaeplay video is what the game looks like. stop going into uber fanboyism.

they took the pictures from a part of the game that wasnt even done by accident.

Exactly the gameplay vids alone I have seen look great 

It was fixed? Hey, do me a favor and read his quote again. There was absolutely nothing wrong with those screenshots, other than they weren't 'pre-screened' by the head honchos. If anything, those were probably some of the most accurate screenshots you will ever see of Mass Effect up until it's release.KeyWii

 This is partially true. The screenshots weren't approved by Casey, but they weren't indicative of what the final game will look like. Then again, why do I even bother starting an argument with you...

the first screenshot ever released by the game looks better than those.

Excuses, excuses... :roll: When will Lemmings accept that no console is immune to the evil that is visual downgrades, including their own?Timstuff

because it was never downgraded? because it was just a stupid accident that the devs admitted?

Timstuff is one of the worst fanboys in systems wars what do you expect? 

Lemmings' reactions to this reminds me of the time John Kerry gave his excuse for why he called US soldiers stupid, and his supporters all instantly assumed he wasn't lying.Timstuff

He called the soldiers dumb? like "Hey you guys are dumb...alright i'm off."

I guess you're a bush fan then huh?

What a pathetic anaology. Also tell me why anyone is supposed to believe your "word" over the "proof" of the devs. Your word means nothing as you can't back it up with anything but your own fanboyism.

that would have to be because no 360 games to date have been downgraded while many of the PS3s have been. now, be a fanboy, ask which ones, so i dont answer you and you start a picture war. dont even start.

So he called them dumb or stupid even though he didn't? Nice spin. The he was making had nothing to do with that. If you seen how many recruiters went to poor neighbohoods what would you explanation be then huh?

What a joke to say he is calling them that, you need help m friend butI shouldn't be surprised coming from a person who thinks Kerry would be worse then Bush. I mean you're right Kerry probably woulnd't have led us into war blindly and led over 30,000 troops to be C.O.W's or over 3000 dead. Or make the world despise american after the world gave their hand to them right after 9/11...yeah Kerry isn't that good. LOL
