Well, I did some small title editing there so… it’s really ‘controversial moments’ not controversy, just so that people don’t get it mixed up. Anyway, it seems that Mass Effect 2 is going to retain the ‘dirty boy’ attitude from within the first game.

When being interview by VG247 at GDC, it was revealed that one of BioWare’s co-founders, Ray Muzyka, that they’re promising more “emotionally engaging moments” in Mass Effect 2, which means alot more ‘alien sex’.

“We don’t shy away from emotionally engaging moments. We try to make them contextually appropriate. They’re not gratuitous for the sake of gratuity. We put them in to actually drive an emotional response, but the journey you’ve gone through to get to that point in the game, it has to feel like that is a real point, a real outcome that makes sense to the player to get that point. They’re not there for shock value,” he told VG247.

“If there’s surprise and delight in the emotionally engaging moment then that’s great too, but they have to feel contextually appropriate. We just make games with great stories and characters and, just like in real life, some of the interactions are emotionally charged between some of the characters. There could be all types of different emotions. And even the experience itself, we strive for emotion… We’re not shying away from it.”

In reports yesterday, that were from GDC, it was read that Massive Action Game, aka MAG, was an “iteration of SOCOM”. So GamersDigest when to investogate the statements made at the event.

When speaking to Cindy Bowens, the community manager at SCEA, she clarified the comments made.

“I just wanted to give you a heads up in response to the quote about MAG being an ‘iteration of SOCOM,” she told GD. “I wanted to clarify that this is a misstatement. MAG is a brand new IP and is unrelated to SOCOM… It is not a sequel nor built upon SOCOM. It will be a brand new experience.”
