Just checked out the preview pages, and already I've got a whole bunch of concerns about continuity - and this is from someone who has had absolutely no worries about any Mass Effect product at all.
Firstly, the weapons. All those humans are using the Carnifex model gun. I know ME1 used the same model to represent a bunch of other guns, but this is a few weeks after first contact... and they're using the same weapon designs they use after thirty years of learning from the other cultures? This is a minor one, I can put up with it as being a visual link to the universe so we recognise what it is, but it still bugs me a little.
Then there's the Mako, which is a whole lot worse. We KNOW that the Mako was new around the time of ME1. That they've put it in the comic despite there already being designs for older tanks (the Grizzly) suggests a lot of laziness to me.
Then worst of all is the humans talking with the turian, and knowing the name of his species(!) This is a few weeks after FC. How the hell have they managed to work out the entire turian language AND make translators so widespread that they're in the hands of civilians in such a short space of time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about getting some insight into TIM, the artwork looks passable, and with this digital format announced, I may well go as far as to buy it (I haven't bought a comic in a decade - the last ones I read were the first few KotOR ones, and they were borrowed). But given that Mass Effect's consistency and realism is one of the main attractions to the series for me, the lack of continuity already shown in a mere four preview pages has me a little worried about how much care has gone in to the writing of this.
Sorry for the wall of text, but hopefully someone can assuage my doubts.
This is me drawing attention to these words of wisdom. (Read: this)
And just to expand on your point about how turians can somehow speak to humans this early after first contact, remember that there is no singular turian language. There is a panoply of turian languages, plural. So humanity would have had to translate
all of them in the month or so Shanxi was occupied.
This make me even more concerned about ME3. With Mac Walters confirmed as the lead writer in this blog, I don't hold out much hope that ME3 will have much consistency and continuity. Alas, my favourity sci-fi franchise appears to have fallen even further.
Retour en haut
car avec un univers aussi riche il y auré de quoi faire a mon avis. je suis désolé de ne pas pouvoir post en anglais je suivrais avec intére vos jeux
