Mass Effect 3 beta accidentally leaked, new features revealed
Last night, something magical happened on Xbox Live, if only for a moment; like a shooting star through the atmosphere. A Mass Effect 3 beta was leaked onto Xbox Live last night, and was accidentally made available to people who had signed up for the XBLA dashboard beta.
For a very brief moment of time, a 1.8 GB download was made available for ME3 that included a demo of both the single-player mode and new “Galaxy At War” multiplayer mode for the game. A gameplay video was subsequently upload to YouTube and screenshots were released on the NeoGAF forums of the experience.
After the demo was taken down, BioWare’s Jesse Houston released a statement chalking it up to human error, and said that the game was still in it’s really early code and wasn’t reminiscent of the final product at all. He also confirmed that the game includes three new play styles: “action mode,” “story mode,” and “RPG mode.” More details on these new ways to play Mass Effect will be released in the future.

DMC: Devil May Cry is officially a reboot of the series
It’s official: The new Devil May Cry game is a reboot of the franchise, not a prequel, reports Degenki Playstation. When DMC: Devil May Cry was announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360 at TGS last year, it was apparent that this wasn’t the Dante we all know and love. He even had a new emo-tastic look, complete with white hair and disheveled demeanor.
Degenki Playstation goes on to say that this iteration of the Devil May Cry series takes place in parallel universe (with a completely different Dante) to the one from the original Devil May Cry series, which very well could mean that we could still get a Devil May Cry 5 sometime in the future.
The magazine says that this shift in universe was actually Ninja Theory’s idea.
Also in the wake of this DMC news, a series of new screenshots for the upcoming game were released yesterday, shedding even more light on the upcoming game. Hit the jump to view all ten screenshots.
