As for that fish [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/105909-New-BioWare-Clue-Seems-Fishy], I think BioWare was just being a jerk.
Looks like that fish...
Was a red herring.


YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Ehhhh no


But this is exciting since the series is coming to PS3. (and is it just me or does the nararator sound like Soap......)
Do you mean he sounds like Price? Cause I'm pretty sure Soap was Scottish

As long as they don't make us fight that thing from the end of 2001 again, I'm really looking forward to this one.
what thing?

OT: wow, I was dissapointed that you killed
the shadow broker in ME2 because I thought he deserved to be a big villiain in number 3
*nervous laugh* never mind this is enough.

I suspect the game will pan out something like this:

1) Shepherd races to the assistance of Earth, gets arse handed to him/ her.
2) Shepherd regroups with human resistance, someone mentions the legend of an ancient Prothean weapon.
3) Shepherd spends the majority of the game acquiring said weapon, then duct-tapes it to the front of the Normandy.
4) Shepherd heads back to Earth, quoting THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmvnXKRfdb8
5) ???????????????
6) Profit

:D
Who's Shepherd?

On topic: I haven't played through (or even own) the first two games yet. I better catch up in the next 12 months or so.

The funny thing about this trailer is that someone with no prior knowledge of the Mass Effect series would watch this and think that it's another grey futuristic shooter about Earth being taken over by aliens. I'm willing to bet that very little of the game will actually be set there, as the implications toward the end of the trailer are that Shepard will be off doing his own thing, possibly rallying an attack force Dragon Age-style or battling Reapers in other parts of the galaxy as well, since I highly doubt the Reapers are only attacking Earth.

But anyway, yeah, I don't think anyone on the face of the planet has ever been more excited for anything than I am for this game.
Do you think Bioware is marketing it as a generic space shooter to attract the generic space shooter fanbase? As long as it doesn't affect the gameplay, whatever.

And as I recall, after Shepard and the Normandy kicked ass at the end of Mass Effect 1, the reapers became convinced that the humans were the superior race in the galaxy. So it's possible that they would go after Earth first.

Totally can't wait for more info.
I wouldn't put it past them to market to that audience (especially after Mass Effect 2's box art made it look like Gears of Halo: Call of Killzone), but at the same time, the trailer makes me giddy with delight, so whatever. Yeah, as long as they don't streamline it any more than they did in ME2, I'm down.

The guy talking in the trailer sounds remarkably like the character Malcolm Reed from Enterprise. If this is true I'll jump through hoops. He is an awesome actor.

I am very excited about this game however, if there is a call of duty announced, this game won't come out till march 2012. Too much competition. Bioware did it with Mass Effect 2 so.
Mass Effect 2 was always scheduled to be a 2010 game.

Pertaining to the topic, I am more excited about this game than I have been any other game since... well... since Mass Effect 2.

Massive Reaper invasion, millions dead, humanity on the brink of annihilation and it's up to me (Well, Lion Shepard) to sort it all out again - Bring it on, you Reaper poofs!

This was an excellent trailer and the guy holed up in Westminster's clock tower (It is NOT called Big Ben! Big Ben is just the main bell in the tower.) looked a lot like my Shepard character actually and it'd be good to see some action taking place in England for a change. I expect there will be several references to tea scattered here and there and why not?

Really looking forward to this!

This is what we know from the trailer, and I quote:

-Earth. It be fucked. Hard.
-That English guy is a BAMF.
-Big Ben needs a fixer upper.
-Reapers have lasers.

That's it. That's all.
Please, some people should listen to this. Speculation is fun and all, but it leads to a lot of very ill judgments based on absolutely nothing at all.

Would every developer just stop with the adding of multiplayer? It won't make an established single player game franchise any better...Though I think that the writer was just joking.

A few million in the first week?

Doesn't anyone else find that weird? It's a planet extermination, and all they could do in a week is a few million out of several billion?
The Combine did better than the Reapers.
