I have mixed feelings about the trailer.



It makes sense storyline-wise. We knew there was going to be a massive Reaper invasion across the universe. We know this is part of a cycle that the Reapers have perpetuated for God knows how long. We also know that it's highly likely that the Reaper incursion would make it's way to Earth as I'm sure all other planets with sentient life on it. So no surprises there.



What has me alarmed is the focus on Earth and this first person narrative in the trailer. It leads me to believe a number of unsettling possibilities. For example it could be construed that BioWare is doing what Bungie did with the Halo franchise. That we may just see ME3 with a predominant Earth/human perspective storyline. Or, perhaps it's a set up for a future spin-off FPS that is set on Earth where you and other humans fight the Reapers. That is something I don't care for. Why weave a story with all these interesting races and worlds only to dump it all for something that mimics Halo: ODST, Halo: Reach, Quake 4, Resistance, etc?



A major reason I've enjoyed the Mass Effect story so far is the fact that it includes a number of other races besides humans, other races and other worlds. I've groomed my Shepard character to be concerned not just for humanity's survival but the survival of all sentient life. I've built relationships with non-humans, and it's been more than clear to me in ME1 & ME2 that without co-operation between the different races, without an Asari Biotic or a Krogan warrior saving Shepard's butt on multiple occasions, that Shepard and humanity wouldn't survive very long in the universe.



I dunno. It's like there are different factions in BioWare and/or with EA where some see the Mass Effect universe as being a much bigger place that humans are only a mere part of like the Turians, Salarians, Asari, etc. and this other faction that wants to run with the formula of everything being about humanity vs the alien invaders.



At any rate. I was hoping to see a trailer on ME3 with many battlefronts from the Quarian Flotilla to Omega to Illium, to the Citadel, etc. where everyone is fighting off the Reapers. Instead I got the feeling it's all about humanity's plight. The universe just got smaller.

When Shep turned around and walked off all I could think was "I should go"

Comm: "Normandy, do you read? We're under attack!"
EDI: "Incoming transmission from Earth."
Comm: "Are you there? Requesting immediate aid! Please!"
Shepard: *closes the channel and walks off*
EDI: "Request denied. Setting new course for Risa."
Shepard: "Many decisions lie ahead. None of them easy."

Short life-spans and high metabolism are wired into DNA. That just won't matter when the species becomes an immortal, giant squid machine.



And Reapers could indoctrinate Krogans into reproducing or just give them a genophage cure and let them do it themselves for a while.

Mass Effect 3 and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in one night? Nice.


If the Reapers only killed 9 million world wide so far I get the notion the Reapers may very well be indoctrinating the entire planet slowly and killing any resistors. Shepard's going to need a lot of MacGuffins and Applied Phlebotium in order to drive these guys off.

"killed" is from the sniper's perspective. this most likely includes those indoctrinated. the reapers are slow and meticulous...

No time to save earth, Shepard's got more aliens to romance.

I think we should all take a moment and thank BioWare for not pulling another mysterious-geth-oh-no-KIA-oh-no-my-N7-armorz!? trailer.

I just nerdgasm'd and I didn't even have the volume turned on!! Oh man I can't wait!!

[Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien]

I think the soldier is just referring to the UK possibly? Hence the low number (well as far as Earth is concerned)

[MisterDyslexo]

I want to see how the Shepard backgrounds can react to this.



There's Earthborn Shep, which returns home to see it in flames. Whereas colonist Shepard could feel deja vu, since they saw his/her home razed to the ground when they were 16.

collectors failed to get Shepard, failed to make human reaper. so harbinger was just stopped control, gave them up. I guess that harbinger would try to direct control to certain human (of course, there is always reward to do) just like collectors in mass effect 3. that's why sniper in Ben just killed another human. they turned enemies against the same species. I am very excited. we are all nerd. I wonder how Legion will react this situation.

Are we sure that was a human he shot, I didn't think it moved like a human, more sort of beastial.

Shepard's Real Reaction:

[Busomjack]

I've only seen him for one minute and already I'm liking the British guy in the Mass Effect 3 trailer. He seems like a real tough bad*** who can remain cool under fire. I hope we can recruit him in the game.

[Knoll Argonar]

He's just talking about London.



9 milion in a Week for a City it's quite amazing. Well done Reapers.

I thought that person he shot was a husk, but that would make since too.

After watching this video about 10 times, I think that actually is Jason Statham. The face of the actor is too similar too (only difference is he has hair in the trailer).

I thought the same for him, but the voice seems to deep/raspy to be him.

I'm curious because I don't remember.... When the Mass Effect 2 teaser trailer was unveiled (the one with Legion wearing the N7 armor and Shepard being "dead") did the community freak out this bad? "OMG's Shepard iz da dead!?!? I can't play as Shepardz????" Obviously he wasn't dead. I mean, it is supposed to hype us up. I'm personally stoked about it.

Any ME3 LI is going to be shallow in comparison to the older romances. I know ME3 will probably have them for newcomers, but, honestly, I wish they wouldn't. I'd prefer for them to flesh out the old rather than have to struggle with the new.
