Newest Mass Effect 3 Trailer

[Setrus]

Ah, Halo 4 is looking pretty nice there. Good to see.

...

I still want to know why they apparently sacked the trailer team from ME2, because those folks...

Spoiler: ...they knew how to make a decent trailer.

Stop making me quote you to show what I think!
So...I agree with this, the new trailer is very 'meh'...I know humanity is the central theme in the mass effect games, but what you end up doing is exploring other races and their cultures and how they react to humanity.
In fact, it feels like false way to advertise. You'll be on earth for what, half an hour in the beginning, if that? And then some at the end? I mean the meat of the story will take place elsewhere, with fantastic species and intergalactic politics...WHY isn't THAT the focus!?

Well, the Blur folks did the last ME3 trailer as well (Kid in sunflower fields), so they aren't totally sacked.

The CG is passable, but all of it is extremely flat and really poorly done from any sort of a cinematic perspective. And zero sense of scale.

Also, why are the reapers shooting these shitty non-continuous lasers?

I give it a meh out of 10.

Not to step on your toes here, but they aren't lasers, they're just a higher frequency mass effect core or something like that.

But the second part seemed too flat to me also, Shep alone is a bit corny if you ask me, but Shep with a team, that makes it infinitely better.

I can't understand how they manage to get away with begging for cash [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115997-BioWare-Defends-Mass-Effect-3-Launch-Day-DLC], while having yet another record-breaking marketing campaign.

Reaper technology?

 

[Zydrate]

I liked it, gave a bit of a more personal feel. Felt better than the kid in the intro.
No more is Earth just full of a bunch of faceless humans.
Kudos.

The trailer wasn't bad but it wouldn't make me consider the game if I didn't know anything beforehand. It also wouldn't change my opinion if I had one when I saw it. So all in all, a bit pointless to make that ad.

I don't know but it really felt a lot, how should I say it - Skyrim-ish.

Spoiler: Skyrim's live action trailer if you haven't seen it

Change the time periods and the dragon to a Reaper or something (or vice versa) and you can use each trailer for the other game.

It's probably the trailers being generic, not anybody "copying" from one another though. We can almost use Skyrim's trailer for DA:O with minor changes.

Oh god Shep looked so silly.
Speaking of, why not just get the Male face model to do that bit? There was no talking, and he looks pretty much identical to the default male.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

Yeah that pisses me off. I thought Ashley was fine the way she was, but Bioware felt the need to make her 'super sexy' in order to bring in bigger crowds. It's a shame but I'm trying to look past it because I waited this long to see my romance with her concluded and I'm damn well going to do it.

Something tells me that that decision was more EA's than Bioware, considering she was the same in the first and second games. Either way, it makes no sense why they would feel the need to since Miranda already holds the role of blatant fan-bait. Whoever made the decision deserves a kick in the balls (or equally sensitive bit) for it.

Remember when Bioware said they were studying Skyrim? I really hope the whole live-action trailer thing doesn't catch on. There is already enough misrepresentation in trailers.

I think it's neat. We could use more Game-To-Movie adaptations that don't suck, and some of these developers look like they can pull it off.

I personally loved it got a very nice Blade Runner feel from the trailer. It really pumps me up for the live action movie.

But they won't. Nobody will ever publish a film made solely by game developers, and those made collaboratively have been pretty much proven to suck. and so, I don't want developers showing me this stuff.

black ops, skyrim, and now me3. i hate these stupid live action commercials. they make me want to change the channel rather than get excited or think about buying the game.

anyone remember the GTA3 trailer from back when? i didn't like GTA3 but I still remember how much the commercial made me want to play the game.

The Prince of Persia one wasn't bad.
The Doom movie was only saved for the First Person sequence, but that was basically the last ten minutes of the movie.

In your defense, there's pretty much only a couple good adaptations surrounded by twenty bad ones.

Which is why the Industry needs the practice

 

[KingofMadCows]

Come on Reapers, nuke the earth and be done with it.

 

[RatRace123]

Eh, CG Shepard and CG husks juxtaposed against live action scenes.
Gives it a weird feeling.

And oddly enough Shepard and the Husks actually look less realistic than they do in the fully CG trailers.

The only time a game-to-movie adaption should be allowed (especially Live-action) is when it follows the plot, characters, and setting to which none of them have, and the movies were terrible. Examples? Resident Evil, Super Mario Bros., Alone in the Dark, DOOM, Hitman, Postal, DOA: Dead or Alive, In the Name of the King, House of the Dead, The Pokemon Movies, Wario Land, Silent Hill, the list goes on. None of them have (even slightly) followed the plots, (and some not even the characters *cough**cough* Silent Hill); I actually feared the theatrical release of Gears of War: The Movie for this reason. Even Kane & Lynch: The Movie is going to follow a different plot and characters, Jamie Foxx is a great example.
