What you’re looking at here is a scene from Christian Bale-introducing coming of age movie Empire Of The Sun – a scene so iconic that you don’t even have to watch the movie. So iconic that it then became the intro to Hollywood WWII pastiche Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway. So damn iconic that I’m pretty sure it ended up in a Michael Bay movie or two (as much as any Michael Bay movie can be remembered). In fact, it’s now such a cliché that it qualifies for inclusion in a Mass Effect game. On a roll, ME3 then quickly shoves the kid in an air duct for a scene nabbed from The Chronicles Of Riddick: Assault On Dark Athena. Now, I love it when Mass Effect is inspired by other people’s sci-fi, but not when it’s designed by other people’s sci-fi videogames. I’m hoping this third one strikes the same agreeable balance as the second. Tools and tricks: Gibbed’s ME3 Coalesced tool, 2160p rendering, antialiasing (in-game FXAA + injected SMAA), free camera, custom FOV, timestop.
