Oh boy... Nothing like wasting valuable time on a useless trailer because people can't get over themselves

Lets make a gay Shepard trailer! He can come sashaying out of a reaper in green combat boots

What a waste of time

Waste of whose time? Marketing? Last time I checked, making trailers is their job. 

Marketing Team =/= Development Team 

Oh God. Can you imagine Silverman being head director of marketing and development?

You don't think a femShep trailer would help to draw in more girl gamers? Why don't Bioware just write girl gamers off as a nuisance entirely and let other, more opportunistic (competent) companies bait them into buying their products? /sarcasm

Please, read your comment, then read your username, and please tell me you don't see the hysterical irony in that name. (no insult to the comment, just something I thought was funny.)

NO, i don't. Just like a commercial with a male doesn't draw me in.

I don't have some deep, profound connection with my own gender in trailers

Marketing is, for all intents and purposes, just that--fan service. You're not really making any sense with this argument of yours. Sorry.

It would be funny as hell if femshep was on the front wearing a bikini

Marketing is to get new people into the series. WHY would they make trailers for people who are ALREADY fans?

I guess we'll see what's what tomorrow. I was among the first to predict the trailer at the VGA's. Honestly, if it doesn't showcase tomorrow, then marketing will have utterly lied to us.

Well, that wouldn't be the first time.

"NO, i don't. Just like a commercial with a male doesn't draw me in."

^ But it would if it was showcasing a male lead in a medium dominated by female leads.

"I don't have some deep, profound connection with my own gender in trailers."

^ VERY insightful. I suppose that would be relevant if you were a girl, and if you weren't of the gender that has been largely favored in nearly every videogame to date.

It's been favored because it's mostly men who play video games. How shallow does someone have to be that they're drawn in, not by the game, but by the gender of the face they stuck on the cover?

[Bombe]

I've personally never played as a male Shep. I've tried, lord knows I've tried (and intend on trying gain- masochist), but I just cant get past the voice acting. I always prefer a game where I can play as a woman, anyway, I tend to get more emotionally involved in it. If there had been a ME trailer with a FemShep earlier, I most DEFINITELY would have started playing earlier. Because I'm shallow.

[Mr. MannlyMan]

Women are more likely to identify with female leads, and more likely to take note of a game that puts a female in the role of a strong leading protagonist.

You're stating the obvious my friend, don't need to spell it out to the short minded bunch. 

Weather or not the whole point of the FemShep trailer is attract more female gamers (can't see that honestly, but maybe I'm wrong) I do like the fact that the female shepard and Jennifer Hale's voice acting will get a little bit of public recognition.

It's one of those very small elements that is more of a sweetener than a deal breaker. Both genders have played the game up until now any way, it's just nice to have official recognition that there are actually FemShep players out here.
