Lol, now you're making me crave that in the game.  A shame it won't work out. I'm guessing this is due to the size of the environments, or the density of static meshes? I've seen environments in UT3, if I'm not mistaken, with fracture capabilities. Performance didn't look too bad, but I'm guessing they must have ran it on a high end pc?

I guess for the time being I'll have to just dream of using biotics in a destructible environment.

I love the Demos. Will there be a chance to see some Vanguard action in the Sur'Kesh demo, or any possibly new footage?

[Brand New]

Either way they would be after you. They are either indocted or they are pissed you blew the base up.
No one ever crosses TIM as Paul Grayson would say.

Fixed. I agree, you have an eye for quality good sir.

Did you have a chance to use the biotic abilities on shielded enemies? If so, how did they react?

Also, how about the squad member AI? How well does it work out?

Will there be Vanguard Game Play soon?

[E-Type XR]

Just quickly - once you pick one of the divulging power evolutions, can you change them on the fly like Bastion or are they set until we get respec'd?

Hey Soah, what does the Sentinel's Amplitude do?

@Brenon

Are you guys working to make more of the Environment affected by guns/abilities?

We did some tests earlier on with destruction pieces, but couldn't really get the performance within spec... so not really (sadly).

I will say though, that it was pretty cool to be able to throw a guy into a pillar and see him leave a crack in the wall... and see the pieces collapse and fall on top of his body. Or to be able to use a singularity under a scaffolding that guys were running across and see it get torn apart along with the enemies... lots of fun... but too costly. 

Shame you cant separate development for PC from development for consoles, I'm sure PC could handle it. Imagine what could today's games accomplish if they hadn't been developed for obsolete hardware.

Might just be me, but i find static, bulletproof environments boring, just like spending whole game shooting enemies in the head; maybe thats why I dont play shooters anymore.

[Jiso]

anyone know if shockwave looks the same as it did in ME2 or did they change it in some way

[E-Type XR]

When he said they didn't do it, he also said it was too expensive, not just because consoles can't handle it.

[Adhin]

Yeah, destructible stuff is done on consoles and much, much older computers. Lotta great examples of it. but that's the kind of thing you have to go at from the get-go. Engine has to be designed with that in mind, every level has to be designed with that in mind.

If you think its just a console thing I recommend you play some Red Faction or any of the Bad Company games. If they did it in ME3, it would end up being little stuff like pillars or parts of basic walls instead of full destruction. Doing that 'right' in the kind of spaces you get with Mass Effect would just be absurd from a development perspective.

Last Red Faction game really shows that, they had to heavily split up what could be blown up and what couldn't just for gameplay reasons. Then let you rebuild what 'could' be destroyed. Bad Company (and any DICE thing really) has that whole 'skeletal wall' thing when you blow up stuff. Same thing, certain things blow up, others don't. Gets a bit awkward after awhile if you ask me.

As awesome as it sounds... having stuff 'not' crumble is less weird for me then only 'some stuff' like pillars.

He didn't mean "costly" as in "money".  He meant "costly" as in "it ate too many computing resources".  I.e., with all the other numbers they were crunching and stuff they were putting onscreen and the way the engine is....the consoles couldn't handle it.

I second the question about Amplification. I want to know everything you can tell me about it, and how it differs from the Adept's new power (Overpower?) when it comes to actual gameplay. It seems to me like it lets you put Tech and Biotics on separate cooldown (and drastically reduces their cooldowns) so that you can fling a Warp and then a Cryo Blast without having to wait and by the time that's out your Biotics cooldown will be over so you can hurl a Throw at the frozen enemy almost immediately after and so on.

In other words it seems kind of the same as Overpower when it comes to gameplay except that you have to alternate between Tech and Biotic powers to take true advantage of the cooldown reduction. And even though the two new powers seem awfully similar I am NOT complaining because they both seem like they'll do wonders for their respective classes' fun factors.

Can you shed any more light on Amplification for us, please? And thanks again as others have said for answering all these questions for us. I'm so jelly you got to play the demo!

Didn't have the chance to do the former and I already answered the latter.

Wasn't playable, read the other pages since this question has been asked already multiple times.

Amplification? I saw no such thing. It must be a power from the vangaurd, infiltrator, or engineer class which has been said multiple times to not be in the demo.

Answered in a previous question. Is page 9 the page that makes people not want to look to see if their questions were answered already?

I'm not sure what that is, I don't remember seeing that ability. I don't think it was a class ability because that was the tech armor.
