WATCH THIS NOW.


There is no game that can come close to touching this. BEST. TEASER. EVER.

[Zeypher]

For a second there I thought that was a live-action teaser trailer.

[Saturos S.]

Yeah, I saw the note on the EA site yesterday. Looks pretty damn awesome. Apparently you'll trying to get the other alien civilisations to help you this time through and then reconquer the earth. But hey, even if the story is a bit like the other two (recruit and then attack)they were tonnes of fun.

[Caael]

I imagine that the other alien homeworlds are under attack as well, considering it's not just humanity that's pissed the Reapers off.

The reveal though in the teaser....is the greatest thing ever.

[Mallick]

No I'm pretty sure it's just humanity.

There's absolutely nothing to suggest either way judging from the trailer. Can go either way looking at in game lore as well; they could be beginning their extinction cycle with the humans to set an example and as a result of Shepard's intervention, or just be conducting it on all the races.

[TheEnglishman]

Looks pretty decent, and considering how much better 2 was than 1 I'd probably get this one.
One neat thing about the trailer, it looks like they include the Shard building that's currently being constructed in London. Maybe it's just meant to be another skyscraper though. If not, it's a nice touch.

Nothing in Mass Effect 2 suggested they had any intentions to go after race other than humanity at the time. Not only that, a lot of the pressers specifically state that the Reapers are going after Earth. Shepard must band the races together to save earth, to take back earth etc. This could be some elaborate scheme intended to shock & amaze when the Reapers go after the citadel or w/e but I think it's just a press release telling it like it is.

True, I hope it is just Earth being targeted because it'd make more sense gameplay wise.

And @TEM, I knew you'd pick up on that. I assume it's just some sort of super structure. Glad they've actually done their research though and not put everything in the wrong place like games usually do with London (Timeshift i'm looking at you)

Perty good teaser as far as teasers go. I'm hoping to play and beat ME1 and ME2 before winter break is over, see what I've been missing.

Mass Effect 2 is legit. Your break will be well spent.


As for ME3, I'm debating going down to PAX just to play the demo.

[crazyjavi87]

I thought it was a different game at first. I thought it was some kind of ME spin-off game involving the first contact with turians after discovering the mass effect gate. Something along the lines of 'Mass Effect:First Contact'

[Nosferatu]

November 8th, 2011.

[Caael]

That gives me 72 hours to beat it before Skyrim out. That's about...1.3 playthroughs?

[Zeypher]

Looks like I'll be getting Skyrim instead. ME3 will have to wait until Christmas.

[Caael]

Or do the logical thing and get the one that comes out first, first and wait for the later one?

ME3 is gonna be better anyway :3

[Someone Else]

Hmm... ME3 which will provide a good, solid 50-ish hours of enjoyment, or Skyrim with potentially 1000+ hours of highly customizable enjoyment...

;P

Mass Effect 3 will probably be $60 at launch on the PC, and since I'm still boycotting that price I'm going to wait for Christmas to get the discount price. Possibly later. I'm going to pick up Skyrim and Uncharted 3 instead.

Some of these games are going to HAVE to get delayed though. There's no way that Mass Effect, Skyrim, Uncharted, Call of Duty, Arkham City, and Battlefield are ALL coming out at around the same time.

[Zeypher]

Along with Zelda and The Last Guardian, too.

Exactly, so get the one you can complete first before the one that will take eons and eons to complete. LOGIC HURR DURR.

But yeah I'm looking to ME3 more than any other game this year for obvious reasons; the conclusion to my favourite gaming series of all time. The culmination of all my choices throughout the past 3 years in one giant bomb of a story. The Mass Effect universe alone is enough to draw me back but the fact that it's being shitted up makes me care deeply not only for Shepard but for everyone else I've connected with across the games. I'm almost sad it's coming to an end but I know Bioware will send it off absolutely incredibly. I have utmost faith that this will be the best game I've played to date.

COME AT ME, REAPERS

Bad luck guys, you'll be waiting a bit longer.

[Caael]

"A delayed game will eventually be good but a bad game is bad forever"

Think it was Miyamoto that said that. If I have to wait longer so be it.

[Someone Else]

I don't ever mind delays. I really don't look at them as delays so much as the developer made a bad estimation of when the game would be done. Well, unless the game is Duke Nukem Forever, seriously what the hell was 3D Realms doing the whole time?

This delay in particular is a sigh of relief for me. I was skeptical considering how ME2 was released just at the beginning of last year, ME3's release date seemed... too soon.

Plus, with Dragon Age 2's mixed reception, the pressure is on to make ME3 great.

It wasn't even a delay really, no official date was ever announced. But Bioware can take their time with it, I want it to be perfected to the utmost.

DA team =/= Mass Effect team. Its really annoying me hearing people be fearful of ME3 due to DA2's failure. Same company, completely different development teams.

[Someone Else]

trufax, but a common theory people have of DA2 being less-than-stellar is EA putting DA2 on a fairly short development cycle. I haven't played the game so I don't know if that theory holds any weight for what might just be bad design decisions (and no amount of time will necessarily fix just bad decisions) but if true, ME3 could suffer a similar fate due to EA's money grubbing ways.

But I'm totally with you, ME team >>> DA team

[Nosferatu]

DA TEAM IS A PIECE OF SHIT. DA2 WAS SHIT.
ME TEAM IS AWESOME. ME2 WAS AWESOME.

PATTERN DETECTED.

TRUFAX PRINTING...

TRUFAX PRINTED.

[Zeypher]

At least I won't have to pick between ME3 and Skyrimz.

[Merlinni]

Talk about completely astonishing graphics...Wow, just wow! =D
