The new "Nova" power for Vanguard Shepards looks pretty ace. Just see those Cerberus troops fly high like a twinkle in the sky.

[Mr. Gogeta34]

Very impressed with Nova... though it does look like it'll be tough to use like they used it (unless you can perform the move without a totally full bar)... especially on Insanity.

Cover ambush ftw though...

[Savber100]

It's a good video. However... get rid of that lengthy intro and blabber... just get to the good stuff!
Also judging by the comments on YT, I would highly recommend the next Bioware Pulse to be on the RPG elements. The fans are demanding it! x)

^We already seen that a lot.

[SojournerN7]

Nice to see some Vanguard stuff. Nova could get interesting with Charge. Now I can start getting excited for ME3.

More than a lot. At one point, there was nothing else but that. Even if we haven't seen the economy system or the armor customization, it's something.

Why do they act like they aren't part of Bioware in these videos?

Well, I want to see MOAR! 

Combat is great and all but more details on the RPG mechanics. For example, would it really kill everyone to see a single result of a minor choice you made in ME1? Can't we learn more about weapon (and especially armor) customization? How many different types of armor would there be available for Shepard and Co. etc? 

I mean I understand the current silence from Bioware to avoid spoilers but I won't mind if their marketing can just at least TRY to release a gameplay trailer that ISN'T about combat. 

So show us the improvement in making the dialogue less vague (a common complaint) through a minor side-mission etc etc. Show us how what Bioware team has cooked up in aiding my abilities to play as MY Shepard etc.

I understand Bioware's marketing here but I keep getting the nagging feeling that the "spoiler-free" reasons is just a smokscreen for a bigger problem. 

Bioware has shown that the audio and combat will be fantastic. It's time to start delving deeper into MOAR RPG elements because what we've seen has better not be it.

^Bioware is having 0 spoilers policy since it was biggest complaint in ME2 marketing.

So no, Bioware won't do it.



Also Mac Walters hinted to have character trailers, though don't expect that until next year.

[Someone With Mass]

Though, if there's one opportune moment to introduce something new or good about ME3, I think it's in the demo. It's very close to release, and it'll probably do what a demo is supposed to do (as opposed to the demos that comes out months after the release) which is to promote the game and encourage people to buy the game.

Aye and I said I understand that. 


But the lack of focus on the RPG mechanics and only 1-3 minute galances through 4 or so 20 min. demoes  and the occasional developer tweets are starting to wear thin. The "spoiler-free" mantra is starting to sound more like an excuse to hide the possible problem that there ISN'T anymore RPG elements to show besides the weapon mods and evolving power trees (which is a pity if that's true).

In the end, release a single trailer focused on RPG MECHANICS (not necessarily about dialogue and C&C) that talks more in-depth than the current dev tweets and I believe that a majority of us will be somewhat satisified until the next year release of the "character trailers" you've mentioned.

I understand Bioware is working on appealing beyond the current RPG crowd and I can accept that BUT please throw your other fans a bone here.

^But we already have stuff like that.

And making trailer about economic system and armor customization would be ridiculous.




Oh and I'd like to correct myself on part about character trailers.
Mac Walters didn't hint that, David Silverman did.

Once again, I acknowledge we do have stuff like that but at a bare minimum in comparison to the  main focus on combat. 

And no, a trailer on the RPG elements like the econ system and armor customization would DEFINITELY  be good. Look at the marketing of ME1, Kingdom of Amalur, The Witcher 2, and even COD's (the customization in MP) where they showed off the economics and customization of their games to positive (and popular) reception. It's not a bad move to show off RPG goodies in a self-proclaimed RPG.  (And we're talking about non-spoilery stuff like customization here.)

[Someone With Mass]

Just because they don't show these elements doesn't mean they don't exist.

As Mesina2 said, a trailer about status effects wouldn't be that exciting. I'll just take their word for it until I'm proven otherwise.

Besides, what would they earn on lying about things like how different outfits for the squadmates brings different bonuses?

 Though we have had elements, but it would be great if we could get full blown class videos before the release.. and hopefully sooner rather than later

Where did I say that "these elements" don't exist? Seriously, reread my post... I was talking about the lack of focus not questioning the existence of RPG elements. 

And to answer your last question, the same way they lied about how the city of Kirkwall will change based on your decisions in DA2... to name just a few broken promises and the dashing of hopes based on nothing but the developer's good name. 

[RideshLive]

I'm totally agree with Savber100.

Mass Effect 3 is looking fantastic and a nice step up from Mass Effect 2. I usually go to other forums and Mass Effect 3 isn't giving a good impression. A trailer about this better RPG elements would do a fantastic job to start convincing this people that the game isn't following the dumbed down trend.

(Sorry for my poor english)

There's already an episode with Preston Watamaniuk talking about RPG elements in ME3 that was tapped some time ago (I can't find the link to where he said this, but I'm 100% sure he did say so)...so wait for that one soon.

Though next week Silverman said they would go over the different gameplay modes (Story Mode, RPG mode, etc)

I hope that nova power has a short cool down, otherwise I can't see myself using it much except as an anti-cover-buster.

Would be so fun to use it in conjunction with charge, but a long cool down would make it more difficult then its worth.

yeah while other developers are more open with its fans like Epic was with gears 3 and that did not stop the hype for it . Its sad they play that stupid game but hey I am sure it will leak early all major games

It doesn't have a cooldown at all. It's based on the strength of your shields.

we need one

[Ulthair]

Character trailers for Garrus, Tali and Liara won't be real spoilers, as long as they don't state why they are there, doing whatever. Just stating that they stand by Shepard, because Shepard stood by them.

And all the nerds will **** their pants. Could also show us some boring stats so people stop whining.

And yet the entire plot outline gets leaked. Life is funny.
