Oh, that's great Vilk, but THIS is the real deal.

[vilkacis]

You are objectively wrong.

[WeeRLegion]

Blasphemer! Your impudent criticism offends the Mighty Wings!

[Silvi]

I want to see a bit of real game graphic, CGI tells nothing about a game (look at Dragon Age origins. oh yes that CGI dragon fight that had nothing to do with their real, crappy, graphic...)
though even if they kept graphic from ME 2 it'd be good. Had the FEEL of space.

[WeeRLegion]

IIRC they commented at some point that they'd pretty much gotten the graphics to the desired level with ME2, so I'd expect pretty much the same. o-o

Blasphemer! Your impudent criticism offends the Mighty Wings!

It can be as offended as it likes, but it has nothing on a song that is literally named Don't fear the Reaper. Don't feel bad, though; it's like losing an arm wrestling competition with Zeus.

real game graphic

Yeah, that would be nice. Hell, any info we didn't already know/haven't already strongly suspected would be nice. It wouldn't surprise me if they keep us waiting a couple of months more before they release anything, though.

[theacefes]

I imagine we will see more about it in the coming months especially when DA2 comes out.

[Kaeloree]

Yeah, I'd imagine they won't want too much focus on ME3 until about midyear, possibly June or July. They'll want to give DA2 as much emphasis as they can.

I'm excited.

[vilkacis]

I went and tossed "my" trailers up on youtube, where they will remain until I'm banned for copyright infringement or something.

Manson goes with every Bioware trailer ever!

Ah, yes, "Blue Öyster Cult". The immortal rock band allegedly waiting in dark space.

Call me a heretic groupie likes out there, but this is the real trailer/s. XD

Heck for the other thing I can only say "here we go again." I wonder how the Earth is feeling being treated like some alien invasion 'free parking' ticket.

[Choo Choo]

Blue Öyster Cult! Why, vilkacis, now I wholeheartedly approve!

That's because you have good taste.

I am now ~*~BANNED IN GERMANY~*~



...you know what else is banned in Germany? Swastikas.

I think they're telling me I'm basically Hitler.

[Cal Jones]

Nice trailer, in any case. I'm excited.

[Silvi]

I wish Mass Effect 3 had its première in March, and DAO2 was I dunno... never released or something. *reaches for ME3* so far away ;3;

Continue Commander Shepard?s Epic Journey When BioWare?s Universally Acclaimed Action RPG Franchise Returns Holiday 2011

It?s humanity?s last stand and only Shepard can save us. On Saturday, leading video game developer BioWare, a division of EA, unveiled Mass Effect 3, one of the most highly anticipated games of 2011. After weeks of rumor across dozens of gaming websites and blogs, the speculation finally came to an end as the world witnessed, "Earth", the game?s spectacular premier trailer, broadcast exclusively on the Spike Video Game Awards (VGAs). Mass Effect 3 is the pinnacle of Commander Shepard?s emotionally charged journey. Mass Effect 3 is set to launch globally in holiday 2011 on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and the PC -- this marks the first time the Mass Effect franchise will launch on all three major platforms simultaneously. Also at the Spike VGAs, the game?s predecessor, Mass Effect 2 was awarded with the "Best RPG" and "Best Xbox 360 Game" of the year awards and BioWare was named "Studio of the Year".

"At BioWare, we are always driving ourselves to improve and I firmly believe our best work is still ahead of us," said Dr. Ray Muzyka, Group General Manager and Co-Founder of BioWare. "We could not be prouder of the team?s accomplishments with Mass Effect 2, and are excited and humbled by all of the recognition the game has received so far. We can?t wait to show you what the team is doing to make Mass Effect 3 an even bigger success."

The Mass Effect franchise is set in an epic science fiction universe, filled with dangerous alien life and mysterious, uncharted planets. Featuring intense action, a rich, futuristic storyline, space exploration and emotionally engaging character interaction, the franchise delivers an unparalleled cinematic experience. Mass Effect 2 is the highest rated videogame of 2010 on Xbox 360, the PC and one of the highest rated pieces of entertainment overall according to Metacritic.com. The three awards picked up at the Spike VGAs are the latest in an ongoing series of global recognition that includes "Ultimate Game of the Year" honors from The Golden Joysticks and over 35 other awards and over 70 other perfect review scores.

Mass Effect 2 is available now for the Xbox 360 and PC. The Mass Effect franchise will make its first appearance on the PlayStation 3 console when Mass Effect 2 ships to retailers on January 18, 2011 in North America and January 21, 2011 in Europe.

I wish Mass Effect 3 had its première in March, and DAO2 was I dunno... never released or something. *reaches for ME3* so far away ;3;

Nooo, DA2 has to be released so I can make fun of it.

Besides, ME3 still has potential to be good! We don't want them rushing, and thus ruining, it.


^^^Edit ^^^

"ME3's universe is going to be darker, but funnier at the same time."

...I know that isn't new, but after the recent bullshit about how DA2 will be "completely different but exactly the same!!1", I can't help but get a bad feeling about this statement.

If you read the source article, it explains the meaning of that sentence a bit further. I don't think it ends up meaning bad things for ME3.

[vilkacis]

I did read it. I still think "bad feelings" are justified when this is coming from the same company that's currently making an "action RPG" (by their own words) sequel to a traditional menu-driven game and telling us "it's completely the same except different".

I'm still fairly optimistic about ME3, but even so, it's also quite possible for them to fuck it up.

[Archmage Silver]

Personally I'd like to think about it as something they can pull off by improving on ME2. And as it's already an ARPG, there's no big leap in any direction gameplay-wise.
