Since there are some Devs reading this thread:
Could you post the concept art you have shown us in HQ? Please.
Jos? Barrett? Jo? Pleeeeeeease
You can find good-quality versions on the Mass Effect Facebook page. Hope that helps. 
The homeworld for a new race and the last picture were the highlights for me.
First, because the very moment I saw it I thought of 1) an avian race 2) moderate Na'vi -type race, that uses technology but does so in harmony and symbiotic relationship with the environment - something we only heard of in relation to the quarians.
Second, because it 1) looked like a new version of a mass relay 2) had a similar architecture to the pyramid image 3) Mac talked about focusing more on a personal side of the story and connecting it to the bigger questions - this is quite interesting for me
I really like the shiny thing they showed last, looks like a acient alien ship or something.
And I can totally see some spaceflight in ME4, with Star Citizen's hypetrain going faster and faster Bioware might take that as an inspiration for ME4.
Happy N7 Day, everyone. In case you missed it, here's a recap of everything that's happened so far:

The tomb and the not-Revan are highlights for me. There's incredible promise in these sketches.
There certainly is. BioWare's always had excellent concept artists.
Then again, (and this seems to go for a lot of games) many of the more spectacular concepts prove very difficult to actually implement in the end. But maybe their shiny new engine will help there.

These look very similar to some old Dragon Age Inquisition pieces (I suspect it's actually the same artist!), and in that game's case the environmental concept art is looking pretty darn close to the finished game. Even down to features like bridges being in the same place, etc.
Might be the new engine, or perhaps the artists are drawing more feasible landscapes instead of something totally theoretical/conceptual?
Either way, the ME concept art is pretty fantastic.

Remember, DICE is making Battlefront on the same engine. I'm sure there is some kind of space flight in the BF games.
The lead writer Chris Schlerf is formerly the lead writer of Halo 4 btw. Not a good sign. I hope im proven wrong, but my gut tells me otherwise.
Halo 4 is the game that finally started steering the series back towards its good sci-fi roots. It had a better story than all the other games, except Halo 1. I'm sort of optimistic.
Because it's N7 day! (yeah I'm late to the party 
), I made this short video:
It's not perfect but it's something

I also made these wallpapers for Xbox one owners (can be used with the new X1 update):

Happy N7 Day!
We recently had the opportunity to help two of our fans get engaged: http://blog.bioware.com/?p=7777
Thanks for the screengrabs and other links. I've updated the OP with some of them and a link to the replay of the Stream today.
If you would prefer not to be quoted in OP please feel free to send me a message. Thanks!

Also, in all fairness, Halo 4 didn't have a bad story per say, but I think it was a bad Halo story.
Mac Walters: Don't you think we should give them some idea about the timeline or the name at least?
Mike Gamble: Yeah, this might be a good idea. Maybe they'll finally stop calling it Mass Effect 4.
(during the stream) On the N7 day we want to talk a little about...
Harbinger: Assuming Direct Control
Mike Gamble: ...some of the concepts that we've been preparing for the next Mass Effect...
Harbinger: This Hurts You

I can already imagine the in-game banter:
- Man, it's going to take a good while to skirt around those mountains.
- Skirt around? Son, this is the Mako.
Retour en haut
