Im curious about that guy. He has a distinct facial tattoo, I'm inclined to think he is at least slightly significant (or the tattoo is, maybe it's a mark for a faction.)
Also I am currently flipping out.
I can almost guarantee you, facial customization. Tattoos on faces.
of.course they do. They're bloody jetpacks.
I can. Titanfall anyone? Of course, that may be my resistance to using them talking. Damn kids, get off'a my yard.
So when people pointed out to you that this was demonstrably false, you fell back on the "yeah well those are like, super duper powerful biotics duh" argument? Right.
Nice try. Using personal mass effect fields to fly around has never been a thing, but jet packs have been a thing since the first encounter with Cerberus troops in ME3.
I cannot think of any game that has done jetpacks wrong, TBH.
Jetpacks sucks in San Andreas.
I stand by that its a stupid mechanic. Mass Effect doesn't need them. They barely worked in Halo 5, which was also a blatant ripoff in the first place.
Halo 5 gameplay is top notch.

*vomits at the mention of Halo 5*
There's a Halo 5?
I swear, those games are breeding.
no the series ended with Reach >.>

Doesn't change the fact that "jetpacks" are the new rule-of-cool for pretty much any game with shooter mechanics nowadays.

... 
Super-duper powerful biotics are only able to slow a fall, not zip through the air like the Rocketeer. Substituting one 'rule of cool' element for another is not somehow smarter.
Unfortunately so.no the series ended with Reach >.>
There is only one good thing I can say about Halo 5. The fight between Locke and Chief was awesome. Andromeda can get inspiration from that.Halo 5 gameplay is top notch.
Unfortunately so.
its better than that awful fanfic that 343 put out
No $#it.its better than that awful fanfic that 343 put out
The leak definitely isn't deliberate. Initially EA was getting the vids knocked down.
Also the footage is at far too early a stage of development for it to be intentional. An intentional leak would have been something more highly polished.
<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>
Hm... I believe Intentional
From a conspiracy viewpoint, it's an intentional leak. It gives away nothing, that Bio has not mentioned before. The teaser video showed us the jump jets, the terrain environmental (rain, fire, snow,,etc) and the early graphic footage simply confirms the work process that must be done to arrive at the final product. It could also be early concepts for the teaser video.
Let's face it, of late, interest (from BSN posts), was diving and/or going in all directions. Oh, the take downs? another trick!
To summarize: a marketing trick to generate hype for Andromeda in advance EA Play that gives us nothing "new" .
I'm ho-humming this one.

It's probably the one new mechanic Mass Effect definitely does need. For one, jetpacks allow the game to be a lot more vertical. That's the reason we're seeing them in so many other shooters; jetpacks are an easy (and generally quite fun) way to bring in a whole other dimension to the combat arena. For a cover-based shooter like Mass Effect, which has thus far been stuck with largely flat and static level design, the utility and freedom granted by jump jets would be incredibly beneficial.
More importantly, they serve as a much needed boon to maneuverability. Double jump became a staple in arena shooters because of how fun it made traversal. Again, Mass Effect in particular will need all the maneuverability it can get because it's gone open world. Do you remember how tiresome it was to get around Inquisition? If we don't want that to happen again, Mass Effect will need add of the traversal mechanics it can get..
They barely worked in Halo 5, which was also a blatant ripoff in the first place.
A blatant ripoff of what? What game has the same exact jetpack mechanics as Halo 5? I can't think of any. Individual moves may be derived from other games, but Halo 5's moveset was ultimately unique.
There is only one good thing I can say about Halo 5. The fight between Locke and Chief was awesome. Andromeda can get inspiration from that.
Wait, what? You found that short, boring fight between Chief and Locke was good?
I'm struggling with two beliefs right now:
1) That "leak" is directly (silently and of course secretly disguised) from BioWare. But that... wouldn't make sense (that would be very poor "advertising", or even if it's just made to 'test the waters', you don't do that with a build that looks like it was made within the first three months of the game leaving the brainstorming phase).
2) It's a legitimate leak coming from some guy in the dev team who better remain anonymous for the sake of his career.
Either way, I think that this "leak" reinforces the general opinion that it'd be more than about damn time that BioWare simply release SOMETHING official, and new. Even just a picture for crying out loud. The long term media silence is ridiculous.
It was an accident. Somebody found the video on a personal website of a developer.
Devs (especially artists) make these kinds of videos all the time, they're a portfolio to show off to their bosses or (potentially) future employers.
There was no conspiracy here. Bioware didn't leak it themselves, and no developer would commit career suicide by intentionally releasing a video that can directly be traced back to them.
From a conspiracy viewpoint
Not everything involved with videogames is a conspiracy, despite your belief otherwise.
Sometimes people just screw up.
The idea that EA would allow a video to be released that showed early (and unfinished) game footage without slapping "this is pre-alpha quality" all over it is ridiculous. They just would not to do something like this intentionally, period.
People who watch the video and complain/moan/scream about all the shoddy unfinished bits will form an impression about the game that will be harder to shift when real marketing materials start coming out in a few months. From a marketing perspective, this is a disaster - fans are forming opinions about an old version of the game that just doesn't represent the level of quality that exists now, and no matter how many times people say "it's from 2014", some will still come away unimpressed.
There's a reason every demo, trailer and gameplay video is polished for weeks beforehand - they want to show the game in its best light, and this video is not its best light. It's not a conspiracy.

Not really. They, the marketing people, know that the only people watching the boards right now are the die hard fans. So, they release this video and put out a couple'a take down notices just so that they won't look bad. So that it makes them look like they're "doing something" about the problem.
EDIT : I mean, just listen to some Bill Hicks about marketing and advertising. You'll realize that they are some of the most evil people on the planet. This would be like child's play to them.

No.
The video is already all over every game news site. Tens of thousands of people will have watched it.
I'm sorry, but this conspiracy idea is stupid. It's not true, and people who believe in it are embarrassing themselves.

It happened with the DeadPool leak though.

K, so, what way should they have done it then? Rather than release it to a known leaker?
There's a Halo 5?

There is, Old Bruce.
