Mass Effect 3

I assume the guy narratoring the trailer is the guy you play if Shepard was killed at the end of ME2.

Nope, if Shepard dies at the end of ME2, you won't be able to transfer that save over.

Yeah, my friend was describing the cutscene that plays afterwards.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite insult on the Citadel

co-op seems like a great idea until the conversations start (i know ive had some pretty long dialog scenes in me1 + me2) where your friend is just going to get sick of it and quit which is why im saying they will have to change that whole system for it (for me that is an integral part of mass effect).
i have played on insanity and if two or more people where using some thing like charge or cloak it would be way too unfair and easy (they could up the difficulty but who wants to shoot something a 100 times to kill it).
The mp team they hired is currently working on The Old Republic so they cant help unless the game comes out in like three years so it would have to be the main bioware team working on it which will harm the sp

No, again you seem to be insisting coop has to be fully integrated or not at all. It's going down a completely different path when you talk about coop for the dialogue scenes , having friends choose conversation options for your teammates etc. Thats not going to happen in this game.

I'm simply talking about your friend having control of GARRUS or whatever, during the combat parts of the game , noting bringing THEIR shepard into your game, with full abilities. If you remember, your team mates only have 2 guns and limited abilities compared to shep.

Is the old republic a unreal engine game? Odd of them to only hire people for multiplayer coding for an MMO a few months ago.

There's a massive demand for earth to be in the game from the ME community so I guess thats part of the reason. What screen shot are you talking about though?


Its the one with the Modern Warfare reject with a Sniper Rifle that just looked like BioWare trying to appeal to the wrong crowd.Earth should of been left aswell unless they plan on destroying it.Can't believe the ME Community wants that its as annoying as UK sites wanting every sequel to be set in London.Gta London,Assassins Creed 3 in London, Uncharted 3 set in London whats next Pokèmon London.

Yeah I saw that screen shot, didnt think it was really going to be ME3 thought it was gonna be a different game. But now seeing the trailer, your right.

I dunno the reapers are meant to be this galaxy ending force of awfulness, if its such a big deal for them to take one single planet (earth) what about the rest of the galaxy.

I'm a little less hyped and more worried for ME3 now after seeing that trailer.


But I'm sure it'll be good, Hales performace ups the games enjoyment.

The bad ending was pretty bad alright, but you have to be either awful at the game, or intentionally trying to get the bad ending to see it. The canon ending will be the 'save everyone' ending.

:eek: Did you just say the "C" word?!

Nothing is canon in Mass Effect. If you die in Mass Effect 2, then you won't be playing as Shepard in Mass Effect 3, and there'll be a whole host of other differences than if you had survived that final mission

Remember that Shepard did die at the beginning of ME2. If he died at the end of ME2, I can see them having a similar story in ME3 - Project Lazarus coming back and re-animating him. I assume the technology is still there from before, unless I missed something?

I suspect the body may have been lost beyond recovery, so to speak, in the death ending to ME2 posted above, and the fact that the station where the Lazarus stuff was done before was captured at the start of ME2 would both make it a bit of a stretch, and also a cop out to just do this.

Also, interviews in the past with development team members have all but assured that death in ME2 will be final where ME3 is concerned, and you'll have to start with a new Shepard.

Lads there is some basic cannon in the game, and as cython said if you some how got your shep killed in ME2 it means you can't carry over your save to ME3 and you just start ME3 the way you do if you start ME2 without ever playing ME 1.

Get me?









Oh I know all this, I'm talking about how it appears to be such a big effort for them, I pictured them wiping out planets in a day kinda thing if they're doing it across the entire galaxy , not just concentrating on earth, floating over landmark cities for an entire game. I know they have interest in humanity , ( Me2 spoilers: ) they wanna use humanity the way they used the protheans , to be their new slave race.


Its just a teaser trailer though. I suppose what disappoints me about it is how it looks like a trailer for a totally different game, not mass effect.

Plus they put the wrong Shepard in there. Needs femshep. The proper shep.

bit strange alright seeing as one reaper nearly took out the citadel by itself whereas there is like 3-4 reapers in London alone ?? shouldnt even be a fight tbh

I would say there is a strong possibility multiplayer could be treated exactly like Uncharted 2. Single player game as the single player game should be. Multiplayer is a seperate game mode.

I think it could work, ME death matches with mates could be fun, if they could get a few of the biotic attacks in there along with guns.

Wouldn't be something I would be that interested in, but wouldn't bother me if it was in there.

I knew there was a game I haven't finished yet, ME2. I'll get around to that during Christmas. I wish I never the thread, silly spoilers :mad:

The game looks great nevertheless.

On to the MP
Mass Effect 2 was one of the best games I've played, and a lot of this was down to getting you to empathise with the other people in the game, I lost all of the Normandy crew except for Dr. Chakwas, but I sent her to her death instead of jeopardising the mission for a single survivor, after that I managed to get my whole squad through the ending unharmed and boy was I a happy camper, my heart was in my mouth all the way through that sequence.

Please use the spoiler text thing, I've been following this thread, curious as to what people think of adding multiplayer. I'm still playing through ME2. Yes, it doesn't surprise me that I need to go through the Omega relay and that it's a suicide mission. The achievement for surviving it gave that away.

But spoiler: Come on!

It's not quite up there with Homer ruining the Empire Strikes Back for everyone in the queue for the movie, but it's a spoiler nonetheless.

Personally I wouldn't mind seeing MP added once it doesn't detract from the single player game.

The anti MP people sound like conspiracy theory nut jobs "impossible to add mp without it affecting the sp" "With cost trillions of dollar" bla bla bla

I guess half-life 2 is such a failure of a single player game, they added deathmatch to that after all.


ME is a singleplayer game, adding mutliplayer wont change that. Just something fun to do once you've beaten the game.


As for people complaining about spoilers of ME2 in a thread about ME3. You should really beat me2 1st before reading a thread on the 3rd game.

I mean I was pretty late to getting around to beating it myself, only beat it 2 months ago. But for the entire 6+months the game was out where I wasnt playing it, I avoided every youtube video and internet thread about the game. Its very easy to do.

I certianly wont be using any spoiler tags if I must talk about anything ME2 during this thread, or ME1 for that matter.

I'll say this though Jayd0g, that wasnt as big a spoiler as you seem to think it was , the way thebhoy phrased that makes it sounds like more of a spoiler then it is. Has little to do with the success of the mission for example, I'll spare you the details, you'll understand when you get to that part. But trust me your assuming more then whats actually there.
