Mass effect 3 cannon ....wtf guys?

[Neocavo]

ok lets get this straight...i like mass effect...ive pre ordered number 3 and i enjoy the shit out of the CGI trailers bioware keep releasing. BUT I noticed something in their latest full length CGI trailer....the SR2 Normandy doing a bombing run flanked by Turian and Alliance fighters.

For starters.. in mass effect 2, it was clearly stated that SR2 model of the Normandy was not rated for atmospheric flight due to hull pressurizing and weight distribution. but it was shown in the trailer doing a bombing run? (2:37)

Second.. as cool as it looked having Turian and Alliance fighters flying next to each other...Where were the Turian capital ships? ground units? not to mention...Turians, besides Garrus, don't really like humans?

1.- you know how you upgraded guns, shields, plating and propulsion over night in ME2? same thing might apply.

2.- I dont remember Turians hating humans, just being condecending to them, if anything its humans that are butthurt from the first contact war and what not.

 

[Jitters Caffeine]

Well, it doesn't SAY SR2 on the side like it did during ME2. Maybe we're to think it's a whole new Normandy SR1? The SR2 was a Cerberus model, and this is CLEARLY staffed by Alliance personnel.

 

[Neocavo]

nah it says SR2 on the side :/

 

[Keoul]

Haha I think the Turians are pulling off the "forward defence" thing Australia did. Basically stop the bad guys before they get to your place and trash everything

well atleast someone had the right idea how to defend their section of the galaxy XD. that being said, anyone else been playing the ME3 demo? notice that human space is meant to be almost as large as the entire citadel space? yet the Turians have the largest fleet and apparently are the only ones aloud to have more than one ship with a rail gun? or the simple fact that human space isnt classified as citadel space, even though we are on/are the council?

Because it looks cool. Its EA/Bioware remember? Screw the goddam cannon if they can make a cool pre-rendered cgi trailer to sell lots of copies. I thought the internet would be smart enough to see through the bullshit by now, but apparently not. NORMANDY KICKS ASS AND SAVES THE DAY!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! SHEPERD AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mass Effect Canon is how you want it to be. There's no "real" canon by bioware.

/thread.

I fully endose this guy's post. Why?

Because he knows how to spell "canon".

 

[Dandark]

Have you not been paying attention to the series? EA and Bioware will retcon anything they feel like, they are almost as bad as Bungie in that regard.

 

[Erttheking]

Why is everyone getting their patnies in a notch over every little thing that is ME3 related nowadays? Seriously, this is just nitpicking now.

If you really want an explanation, the Alliance has had the Normandy for months after ME2 and I assume that they've been fiddling around with it.

Actually you can get the Turians to hate you...at least most of them, anyways.

All you have to do is load up an ME 1 character in which you let the Council die. Apparently, out of all my ME 1 playthroughs, I only did that twice...and one of those characters evidently got deleted. But I noticed something: I hadn't played ME 2 with a character that killed the Council, so that's what I'm doing now. Also haven't beaten ME 2 on Insanity, so I'm doing that as well.

But it's kinda fun, I'm almost glad I waited this long before bringing my 100% pure Renegade to ME 2. Some of the conversations you have are massively different since the council is dead. For instance: the Turian that runs the weapon shop on the Citidel isn't all friendly, happily telling you about the adventures you can go on through the company. He, quite frankly, really doesn't like humans...because "they only strike when their prey is weak. That's why they left the Council to die."

But yeah, this playthrough, as I said, is 100% Renegade. Despite how I know for a fact that I never picked Udina for the Council seat, I went ahead and changed that decision at the beginning of ME 2 when they're asking you the questions. I wanna see how going through the games making 100% Renegade choices will play out in ME 3.

I feel that posting in this thread is causing me to lose brain cells. Never let it be said that I wasn't willing to make sacrifices for the sake of enlightening the unwashed masses.

a) It's a trailer. I doubt the people who made it (Blur Studios I think it was) are avid followers of obscure video game canon. (Note the single "N".)

b) Despite what was said in dialogue (EDI, wasn't it? My memory is not clear), the SR2 has been seen flying in atmosphere multiple times. How else do you think they landed on Illium, hm? Or any other planet for that matter.

c) 1 - Turians. Uh... because they couldn't be bother putting them in? Because they thought outside audiences wouldn't understand why the humans weren't shooting them? Once again, it's a trailer, not a carefully researched piece of canon.
2 - I doubt the Turian distaste towards humans would extend to not fighting off a galaxy wide invasion by the giant robotic cuttlefish of doom

Everyone you speak to who isn't human just says "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU".

 

[Janus Vesta]

The SR2 is fully capable of atmospheric flight, you use it to dock on Illium and to deploy the hammerhead. It can't land and it's too big to maneuver near the ground so it can't do drop offs like the SR1, hence you use the shuttle.

Okay, guys.

A cannon is a heavy piece of old artillery that launches big metal balls with gunpowder.
Canon is is the conceptual material accepted as "official" in a fictional universe's fan base.

 

[Tony2077]

it's no bigger then voyager was and it landed on planets so this isn't to farfetched

 

[Zipa]

The codex says that the SR2 can't land like the SR1 could because it is 1.5x the size. It is fully able to perform atmospheric flight or did you forget the whole

Spoiler

level where the SR2 flies inside a gas giant so shep can board the derelict reaper.

Don't believe me? Read for yourself

Is it just me or are people just looking for shit to complain about in Bioware/EA games now? If you don't like them fine that is your prerogative but trying to nitpick every detail is just getting old, stop it.

Not all Turians hate humans, it's Earth so Humans are leading the charge, and it was already stated that once the Alliance got their hands on the SR2 they went to town with it and changed it up. That's a likely upgrade.
