Bioware went for a CGI teaser regarding DAI, so there's that , I'm not expecting any playable build tbh.

I'm not expecting a playable build but am hoping for a few minutes of a gameplay demo or at least a gameplay trailer. A cgi trailer only is indeed very possible though

 

[Thundercrack85]

Maybe it will be like Battlefront. A cinematic in-engine trailer.

 

[TX85]

Yeah true,which wouldn't be too bad

Also, a trailer focused on the story would be my ideal preference, when the game is set, galactic state and what's the game's main threat.

If the leak is legit, exodus could probably be the game's theme. Dude, the HYPE for this is colossal. I need my ME fix *sighs*

Here's hoping for the trilogy's remaster announcement as well.

that was definitely prerendered. not in engine.

It was made with the game's engine, but for the trailer, not how the gameplay actually is. Staged with motion cap, in the game's engine.

but for all intents and purposes, the actual game will not look nearly as good as that.

Graphics wise, there's a chance, but I still think it will. Only now the true next gen games are coming, and they're impressive so far, just look at Arkham Knight's latest trailer on the PS4, no downgrade so far and it's a month until the game's release.

Doesn't really mean anything, but the reveal trailer of Battlefront was running on the PS4 as well, so there's that.

 

[TX85]

The graphics in that Battlefront trailer was great but not amazing to the point where it's kinda unlikely. I think the game will look exactly or almost exactly as that.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

I will be truly amazed if the game ends up looking like that. the graphics rival crysis.

 

[TX85]

Which makes it possible if it rivals another game already,The console's possibilities aren't any slouch as seen with games like Witcher 3 and Barkham Arkham Knight.,Which I see those games the true new gen games

 

[Andrew Lucas]

Which Crysis? Don't start with the first one, because it's already outdated lol.

It's been confirmed it's in game footage. The press that saw the PS4 gameplay, say the graphics are close. The trailer just seems to be rather polished. So it's not a total bait and switch like say, Watch Dogs.

Anyways, I haven't seen any info about this, but has a composer been confirmed for the next ME? While I loved Clint's work for ME3, I don't think Bioware will bring him back for this exploration centric game, seems more like Sam Hulick and Jack Wall's thing, hearing New Worlds and Vigil gets me pumped for the next one. Either way, both options are great IMO.

no, they haven't confirmed a new composer. it could be jack wall, it could be sam hulick, or it could be someone brand new.

While playing through ME2 I realize I don't really like most of the new squad. They're either just unlikable, bland or annoying. The only ones I like are my Tali and Garrus from ME1, Kasumi (DLC) and Mordin.

Making fun of the bits of the game is great though. Like bringing Legion the Geth and Jack (with almost no clothes on) on the Quarian Flotilla.

This is ME3, but I couldn't stand James Vega. I'm not sure how well the character was received overall but to me he seemed like such an unnecessary (and odd) addition to the series. Not only was Vega a walking pile of cliche, it was strange to me that they'd bother adding in a somewhat significant character so late in the story. When there was already a wealth of much-loved characters from the first two games, I'd much rather the time and money put into Vega had been spent on giving us more time with them.

 

[KevanG]

James Vega just seemed like a self-insert from a fan fic. I'd have much rathered one of the old squaddies from the previous games than put up with him.

 

[Havok83]

Vega rocked. He was probably my favorite new character from 3. Sucked that my female Shep couldnt romance him

 

[gohei_]

I thought Freddie Prinze did a great job on Vega.

I think you could if you had the Citadel DLC. They both agreed to it being a one night stand though.

 

[Soapy]

I didn't think Vega was a great character, but I didn't mind him.

 

[Avenger]

I was really not looking forward to Vega when he was first announced but he turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I thought he was great.

 

[Andrew Lucas]

ME2's cast was by far the most memorable one, the third one was such a letdown, and Bioware lying about all of them being reunited didn't help either. If they hadn't cornered themselves with the Suicide Mission, things might have been different. The Citadel DLC kinda fixed that, but I won't ever forget them for not making my LI available for Chronos Station and the Earth finale, nevar

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

i liked vega too. i liked bringing him onto cerberus missions to show those *******s the human muscle i had on my team that would be givin' 'em a stompin'
