Mass Effect 2 has “adult quality” – Syfy special [UPDATE]

By Patrick Garratt

Update: It’s a six-parter, with the full schedule and description for each episode listed through the PR on the EA site.

Original: A Syfy Mass Effect 2 special aired in the US last night, with BioWare claiming the impending RPG has an “adult quality”.

“It’s got an adult quality,” said a team member. “Not so much with the nature of the violence or the sexuality, but with this darker treatment of the sense of conflict.”

Watch the full thing below. There’s a ton of new footage in it, and plenty of team interviews.

The game releases next Tuesday in the US and next Friday in the UK for 360 and PC.

Warning: There’s a pretty major plot spoiler at about 1.30, so beware if you’re trying to stay clean.
