Bring it on, I can't wait for this game.

At first I didn't think it was Jason Statham until I read this. Now I can't make up my mind.

I like how London is the featured major city.

On the other hand, this seems very different from the general feel of ME up to now - I mean, we barely ever see Earth in ME1 and 2, and everything looks so old... At first I thought it was gonna be a flashback.

You can get further with a smile and a gun than you can with just a smile.

Never finished ME1, never played ME2. Might have to play them all and complete them before ME3 comes out, because I'm now interested in it XD.

Sean Bean guys, not Statham. You'd think you thought all British actors sound the same...

This should be good. I imagine they won't have all the action in London, but boy is that a sweet trailer...of a surprisingly progress-less London to be honest.

Just bought ME2 in preparation for getting my 360 at Christmas. So by the time I mop up the ME1 story, sidle through ME2, ME3 should be ready and waiting for me.

Still need to get ME2 (fingers crossed, Christmas), but this seems pretty sweet and it'll be awesome to see what comes of it.

Interesting to see how London is, I'd consider 1 of 2 possibilities:

Technology progressed with the discovery of alien technology as it happens in ME, but it's not used to replace everything we've got, so historic buildings remain in tact. We still use buildings that have been around since the Romans.

It does a Star Ocean 4 or New Star Trek on us and goes back in time.

Historic buildings I can understand, but wouldn't they replace skyscrapers, etc over time? Especially with overpopulation.

Haha actually I'm usually pretty good at detecting English voices, but not everybody is perfect

The quality of the animation was very good. At first I thought it was a live-action sequence.

Maybe they left it as is for sentimentality? Floating cities ect?

Mass Effect 1 was really good, and Mass Effect 2 was AWESOME. I'm really excited about Mass Effect 3.

Quote: "It does a Star Ocean 4 or New Star Trek on us and goes back in time."


You mean something like: The Reapers go back in time to destroy Earth before humanity becomes a threat. Isn't that a bit too much like Star Trek: First Contact (the one with the Borg)?

Everything looks great. It's the big ultimatum and I hope to high hell that Sean Bean is in the actual game, his voice is so soothing and calm, he'd make a great companion.

Also I hope they strike a good balance between the ME1 and 2 inventory systems. I'm so pumped for this game, I can't fathom how you're gunna save Earth...

Also some good ol' fashioned urban combat in old London town would be sweet. Firefight in the Parliament building? Yes please that'd make my Christmas!

Damn, was that Sean Bean? If he's in the game that would be amazing, he's one of my favourite actors.

He's so good in Oblivion. He makes Kvatch feel so much calmer...

Although I would prefer Statham, so long as they wrote him into the same kinda character as in Crank.

I think it's a safe bet that Sean Bean's character in the trailer is a reveal at a new companion. Otherwise, why else would they feature him in the trailer? He also seems like a Garrus replacement. I'm thinking once you arrive on Earth you run into him and team up.

I really have no grips with the game mechanics, I loved the new setup in ME2 as to ME1. I have to say in my opinion that this is the best playing 3rd person RPG of all time.

edit:
I did think of something, I want more Star Trek TNG cameos!

That was what I was suggesting. As for First Contact, never was a Trekkie fan, so...if I had actually seen it I might have referenced that instead.

You could pretty much reference every other episode of every Star Trek series.
