Mass Effect 2 Interview

VG247 managed to corner Mass Effect 2 associate producer Jesse Houston during GamesCom for a quick conversation about the upcoming sci-fi RPG sequel.
VG247: You just mentioned that the game's shorter. Is that correct?

Jesse Houston: No, we're actually trying to make it around the same length as far as the play-time you would have experienced in the first one. That being said, some of our guys stripped through it really quickly, some of them took a lot longer. That being said, we find that you chew through content a little bit more quickly. The physical amount of content in the game is almost double this time round.

You mean in terms of visual assets?

Houston: Visual assets, dialogue, how conversations work: the game itself is absolutely huge.
So the content is doubled, but we chew through it quicker. Where does that leave us, then?
