It's common knowledge by now that BioWare is developing another entry in the Mass Effect franchise. While the platforms 'Mass Effect 4' is going to be on hasn't been revealed, people are assuming (me included) that it's for next-gen consoles.
If you're like me, chances are you're curious as to what a next-gen Mass Effect game would look like. Fortunately for us, artist Baolong Zang has created what could easily be what a next-gen Mass Effect game would look like. Made using Epic's Unreal Engine 3 with DX11 features, it looks infinitely better than what we see in a Mass Effect game now and this is still a work in progress.
Here's the short video showcasing the highly-detailed character model.
Title pretty much sums it up. I recently reinstalled ME3, but found when I played that the graphical setting were horrendous. Texture quality, animations, etc were really bad. After checking the Config Utility it turned out that it was only detecting my integrated graphics and not my GT 540M graphic. Try going to the NVIDIA control panel, go to 'Manage 3D settings' and then the tab 'Program Settings'. Select ME3 from the drop-down menu (if it's not there add it) and change the graphics processor to your gt540m, not default.

Mar 14, 2012 To run Mass Effect 3 on high graphics settings your PC will require at least a 0MB GeForce 9800 GT / Radeon HD 4850 with a Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz or Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ CPU.
- Jul 31, 2012 Hi, I was just wondering, the graphics on my mass effect 3 copy look terrible. I have the game for PC and I have also played it on Xbox 360. My pc copy looks a lot worse graphics wise than the xbox. Also, I haven't found where to change the graphics quality (ie. Textures, effects etc.) the only thing under the graphics tab in the options menu is anti aliasing and resolution. Where can I change.

I particularly like how he rendered the hair and facial features. If you didn't tell me this was computer-generated, I would have even assumed this was a photo of a real person.
It's also worth noting that Zang created this using Unreal Engine 3. However, future Mass Effect games will be made using DICE's Frostbite 2 engine. Could it look as good as the video above? Seeing how gorgeous Battlefield 3 looks on Ultra settings on PC, I'd say it's a given.

Regardless of platform and game engine, I think we just witnessed what a next-gen Mass Effect game would and could look like. And to be honest, it's making the wait for next-gen all that much harder.
