Mass Effect 3: Galaxy Exploration and Mars

Hey guys. Just wanted to post this to show that I'm not dead.

I'm aware it's been a while since I last posted but I've been swamped and have really not found a good time to post anything. But, for now, I'm going to post a few videos of Mass Effect 3.


By the way, I've been playing the demo and while the animations aren't the best, it's been really fun, and the multiplayer has been spectacular. I'm absolutely shocked at how good it is. But let's get into these videos.

NOTE: These videos are from IGN so thanks to them for the extra footage.

One of the biggest complaints about Mass Effect 2 was the tedious mining system. BioWare has heard your criticisms and have streamlined it. Now you'll just look for war assets in each system and cluster. And there are some clusters that have Reapers in them. In these you'll need to send out scanning pulses near planets to look for survivors, runaway ships, fuel, weapons, etc. All of these things will aid you in the final parts of the game and help decide the ending.

But beware. If you use a pulse too much in Reaper-occupied territory, they will come to investigate and chase after you which will mean that you need to stay out of the system until a mission is completed. The new system looks great, tense and calls for careful usage to maximize its effect.

IGN also posted gameplay footage from a mission on Mars. If you've played the demo, you know what to expect.

SPOILERS: We can see Cerberus up to some mysterious behavior and Liara back in form :D The relationship between Shepard and the Virmire Survivor (Ashley/Kaidan) also still seems to be quite tense and uncertain.


And yes Destin, the Vanguard is awesome.
