Anyone who calls TV - Teli should be destroyed by reapers

 Wow. Simply, wow. SW:TOR, DA2 and ME3... and I thought this year was fantastic. 

I have a feeling that there's gonna be an Uber Collector's Edition under my Christmas tree next year.

Yes, that would be even better

Also, I for one am glad it is coming at the end of next year. Hell, I hope it doesn't come out until 2012. Actually I can almost guarantee it won't drop until 2012. ME2 just came out less than a year ago. I think the game deserves at least 2 years of exclusive development time. Especially since they now have one more system to develop for. I would rather it took as long as needed to be the best final chapter, than to have it come out fast, be full of bugs and have a mediocre finish to the story.

20 November 2007 = Mass Effect 1
26 January 2010 = Mass Effect 2 (roughly 26 months between the release of ME1 & 2)
December 2011 = Mass Effect 3 (roughly 23 months between the release of ME2 & 3)

Seriously, why should we be worried? That's plenty of time to develop the game.

I have to disagree to some extent. Sure for certain companies and certain games it is. But those are usually companies who already have a solid foundation to build on as well as fewer systems to develop for. Like the saying goes "Acouple of extra months could be the difference between a great game and an all time classic". Every company should be striving for the latter. Let's just be real. ME2 is one of my favorite games ever and Bioware is one of my favorite studios of all time, but ME2 did have quite a few glitches/problems in the game that could have probably been ironed out if they had a little more time.  So yeah, 23 months is a good time but a little more(maybe 3 extra months) would be well worth it. I mean, how many games have missed their mark this year alone. I don't want to see that happen with ME3.

Also you have to look at it this way too. Unless a lot of other games push themselves out of next holiday season(which I am guessing will also happen) ME3 is going to have to fight for an already hostile share of the market. With Gears of War3, Resistance 3, Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Elder Scrolls 5, Tomb Raider reboot, Metal Gear Rising, and quite a few others dropping next fall/holiday season, the competition is going to be crazy stiff. The only smart and logical thing to do would be to push ME3 back into 1st quarter 2012. That gives them more time to work as well as a slightly quieter time for game releases which in turn gives them a bigger piece of the pie. That is why you see many games pushed into this timeframe these days. It happened to ME2 as well.

bw posted the vid on the home page now the strange thing is, the name is earth,
here is my thought:

after a few weeks or months they start releasing vids from other major planets in the universe and show the destruction there 

you got it first from me

You know by Holiday 2011 Bioware mean Summer Holidays, so expect it in July 2011.

[PnXMarcin1PL]

Mass Effect is an american game so expect it to be released at December 2011...

Although there are 2 meanings of "Holiday" - Summer Holiday and Winder aka X-Mas holiday. I guess we all have to wait until BioWare oficially states the premiere of the game.

Really hoping it will be set in London! That'll be amazing!

Also hoping that this means that London is the Capital City for the Alliance

Makes sense to me since it is the historical location of UNIT. Plus by then Godzilla has wiped Japan off the map.

[szkasypcze]

when you go through the pre-order link, it says that the release date is 31 December 2011.

[Dazaster Dellus]

WTF! Why do people keep saying Summer Holiday? There is no such thing in the game industry. If they meant Summer they would just say Summer 2011. Also it is a known fac that most people are out and about during the Summer, so why would Bioware release their biggest game in the worst months for gaming, tv and every other source of home entertainment? Use your brains people. That is why almost no company releases major games in the Summer. Unless it meets certain criteria.

[ChopSuaay]

I just wish Bioware won't mess up the game... What the heck I am talking about, it's gonna be an amazing game bioware never failed me.

[Zaknaberrnon]

Awesome trailer. Mass Effect 3. Yeah.


So..... where's the story bridging dlc?

Haha, I'm not hostile. I'm not saying I'm gonna kill anyone and I rarely even insult people. If someone takes offense to me criticising something they said or punching a hole in an idea, then doesn't that actually show the criticism had a point? :-P Anyway, it's a common theme to tell people online you're going to send them anthrax or gun them down or murder their family, but that's really not a very cool thing to do. Because if there's even 1/1,000 people who mean it, that's way too many people. Put yourself in the shoes of Bioware staff. If every day YOU went to work, 50 people threatened to kill you (the people who you worked hard for years to please), you'd get a new job. And it wasn't really funny as a joke, either.

EMPs are effective against circuitry, sure, but we're talking exposed or lightly-armored circuitry. Circuitry inside a space ship is basically magnetically sealed. It would have to be, given the hostile environments of space. Just think of Haelstrom, for instance. The Normandy was in space around that hostile planet and had ZERO atmospheric protection from the radiation of the star, but it was just fine even though it's a dinky frigate that's meant for stealth, not for durability. I guess it could have stayed in the shadow of the planet, but it is unlikely its approach could have been out of the sun 100% of the time. Heck, the Citadel is located inside one of the most turbulent (ionized) nebulae in the galaxy, but it's still the center of civilizationi and commerce in the galaxy. No EMP is gonna get through a completely sealed, ~10m bulkhead. And if it IS of a frequency that passes through such an array of materials, it'll pass straight through the circuitry without doing any damage, too.

As for why EMPs are temporary in most video games, that's to represent switching over to backup circuits and such. Clearly, you can only have so many backups in real life, though. However, Reapers aren't entirely circuitry. They're a large part biological, and the biological components should be able to support and repair the circuitry even if they are damaged.

I understand the point of criticism; I believe I overreacted. I kind of had a bad day (ironically enough, because I shot terribly in my competition...). That isn't my usual attitude...in fact I kind of enjoy criticism and responding to it. Petty arguing and insults kill that. As for my "joke," I do believe that I addressed that: there will be no more attempted humor from me, because I'm clearly bad at it. I've just had bad forum experiences before that have put me a bit on edge, hence the "hostility" comment...the flame wars are not fun...I'll apologize again. I really dont want to leave a negative mark on these forums, and considering I made that post at about midnight my time, i wasnt thinking straight. The best way to avoid that is to avoid posting that late again. (Which I will, I woke up way too tired the next morning to justify staying up that late again).

Back to the EMP: the fact that the armor is there is precisely why I suggested a nuke originally: there needs to be something else behind that EMP to make it a viable weapon, ie heat to melt away the ~10m bulkheads. Granted, I conceded that nukes aren't a good idea. But if you could get inside a reaper and set off an EMP.....hmmm....and the biological repair would take time--possibly enough time to blast the reaper to bits with mass accelerators. Remember, shields would likely be down because they are electronically powered. The biggest problem with the reapers is the shields. After Sovreign's went down, the Alliance had no problem destroying it.

Here's an interview with Casey Hudson about Mass Effect 2 and 3.

http://www.shacknews...article.x/61666



In it, he says that ME3 will be easier and take less time to develop because they don't have to worry about decisions affecting the next game. It also seems like he's implying that his team started working on ME3 immediately after they completed ME2.



Everybody chill. ME3 will be awesome.

[Sargeant Sarcasm]

Everybody chill. ME3 will be awesome.

We already knew that.

[tj987654321]

Do you agree with this opinion?

"Even though ME 3 is the last
of the trilogy, I highly doubt that it will be the end of the ME
franchise. If anything, it is just the beginning. While Shepard's story
will have ceased, I feel that there will be spin-off games
that will chronicle the events of other major characters, and possibly
will reach into multiplayer."

Who knows, we may even get COD: ME! [smilie]../../../../images/forum/emoticons/w00t.png[/smilie]

Richard Armitage? Heh! Didn't recognize his voice.

I've never seen Spooks and never heard Armitage's voice before... but the voice sounds like Sean Bean to me.


....could be wrong, though

Don't forget, they could have had a small group of people working on the basics of ME3 Even as the main crew was pollishing off ME2.
