Got my new Game Informer, read the ME3 article. Game starts with
Shepard on Earth, effectively on trial in regard to the events of
Arrival, and in the middle of the trial, the Reapers invade. Prologue
involves Shepard's escape to the Normandy, and off to start finding
those allies, fighting Reaper troops (husks of all the different
species) the whole way.
Confirmed squadmates: Liara,
Ashley/Kaiden, Garrus (if he's alive) and... James Sanders... That must
be the guy from the trailer, I don't remember.
Speaking of
which, there's a screenshot of Ashley with her hair down, and she
actually looks hot. Don't have a scanner, so wait till someone with one
turns up.
Confirmed to appear, but not guaranteed as squaddies: Wrex, Mordin, Legion, and Anderson. Obviously, if they live.
The game will by default feature a "previously on Mass Effect" comic to make decisions with if starting from scratch.
The Illusive Man also plays a prominent role, and Cerberus is out to kill Shepard. Reason why is unknown at this point.
The
RPG elements are being beefed up, not going back to ME1, but giving
more freedom with the character skills. Skill trees will be larger, and
powers will evolve several times instead of just once, offering even
more freedom. Weapons are ME2 style, with a set list, but mods make a
return, not in the ME1 style, but allowing you to swap out different
parts such as barrels, scopes, and so on, which effect both the
weapon's combat performance and its appearance.
All classes can
wield all weapons unhindered now, but will have limited slots to carry
them. Only the Soldier can carry all weapons at once. Probably means
Adept, Engineer, and Sentinal will be limited to two, and Vanguard and
Infiltrator will have three.
Also mentioned: The game will have
numerous endings, some good, some bad, and who you have in your squad
and which allies you recruit can have a drastic effect on which are
available.
That's basically the gist of it, except for the sidebars filled with stuff everyone already knows.
...
Only other thing I realized I left out is that they watched a video
of a segment involve a krogan vehicle train with Shepard riding along,
and as it goes a Reaper comes down from the sky to attack. Shepard's
vehicle is destoryed, and fighting the thing is impossible on foot.
Then a Thresher Maw comes out of the ground and attacks the Reaper. The
Thresher gets the upper hand by coiling itself around the Reaper, then
drags it underground. It gets quiet, and seems to be over, then laser
fire begins erupting from the ground, and Shepard decides this is a
good place not to be. It then trails off into a description of how
everything is so much bigger than the previous games.
He also posted a picture of the new Ashley. And she definitely does look a LOT better now!:happy:
Retour en haut
