The demo of Mass Effect 2 on PS3 was a "build old"

Ah, here is the exit of the demo of Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation 3, BioWare announced to be based on the new graphics engine that will be the basis for the third chapter, opinions were divided. Regardless of unquestionable intrinsic value of the game itself, the dissection technique performed by some, such as Digital Foundry, showed light and shade (in all senses) of what should be the advanced graphics engine in the hands of BioWare, demonstrating that although some aspects are much better, others do not necessarily represent the changes from the version based on the old engine.

Chris Priestly, BioWare has recently explained, however, that this demo is actually based on a rather old build of the game. However, this is the new graphics engine, but because of the timing is based on a demo build of the game prior to the final, in which the product will be released in stores.

Therefore, the graphics of the demo is not fully indicative of the quality of the final Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation 3 and the third installment based on the new engine. Source: U.S. PlayStation blog
