That's one big Thresher Maw...
Otherwise, I am still feeling some Gow/CoD influence here with the scripted foot landing in front of and the running for cover from the big laser.
Then again I haven't played so I'm willing to find it an actual improvement.

Looks good. A bit annoyed at some things, but I'm putting that in spoilers at the bottom of my post because I don't want to give the impression this trailer was bad, I actually rather liked it.
What bothers me, though, is scale. Either that Thresher is an order of magnitude larger than any other we've seen (and we've seen a lot), or that Reaper is tiny. Granted, nothing we've seen has even really implied that all Reapers are the size of Sovereign (and I've heard theories even a while ago that Sovereign was to other Reapers what Dreadnoughts are to the other fleets), but this still seems like it shouldn't happen. In ME1, you take out Threshers in a tank. In ME2, you take one out on foot. In ME3, a Thresher is a match for a Reaper?

I was going to save the universe but then I took an arrow to the knee.
I think I figured out what bugs me so much about the new mass effect, the original mass effect seemed like the sort of thing that would advertise on the discovery channel, this one seems like the sort of thing that would advertise on spike tv. If you don't get that... well I'm too busy to explain it, league just finished dling.

I'm inclined to agree. I liked the firs game, played through the second for kicks, but I'm starting to experience fatigue just thinking about the third one. It's probably going to be just fine, but it's no longer what I really want. I'll probably end up picking this thing up from a bargain bin.Worgen said:
There's some speculation that the Thresher Maw shown in the trailer is actually the one described by one of the Cerberus News posts, in which they describe a legend of a huge one located somewhere in Tuchanka.Avatar Roku said:
As for the size of the reaper, it was never really said that they were all the size of, say, Sovereign, so there might not be a standard mold for the Reapers.
Let's hope all the CoD nonsense is at least supplemented with a decent Bioware story.
Because if not, then Bioware's devs really need to consider jumping ship and starting fresh with a new company.

King Thresher Maw!!! Sounds awesome to me.shado_temple said:
That's probably the leader of the Krogans (Wrex or his bro if you killed Wrex)gigastrike said:
I mentioned this before on the article that talked about this trailer, but what if that is supposed to be the thresher maw from ME2. Like if you killed that one in ME2, Tuchanka is doomed. I doubt it since Wrex killed one too during his right of passage, but still.
That would be very sneaky BioWare. It would be a scenario where your decision in a fight determines ME3 instead of all the cutscenes. Because you killed the Thresher Maw in ME2 instead of surviving the five minutes, the Thresher Maw can't help you in ME3. That would be insidious.
I really, really hope the scripted-out-the-ass sequences like this one are few and far between in Mass Effect 3. That kind of thing might be awesome for a trailer or movie, but it kills any kind of replayability a game could have otherwise had (I'm looking at you Ace Combat Assault Horizon and Call of Duty Modern Warfare) by guaranteeing that no matter how many times you play through the game, such sequences are going to always happen in the exact same manner that they did in previous playthroughs, thus removing all sense of control from the player.
You've already broken my heart once before by effectively killing KotOR, Bioware. Don't you dare hurt me again by ruining Mass Effect too.

Everything matches him, though. It sounds exactly like him, and I looked up his picture on the wiki and they look the same too. It's definitely not Wrex.Rangerboy87 said:
Yeh, it doesn't rreally look like Wrex, seeing that his headplate (for want of a better term) is red, not to mention his scars. I thought it would be Grunt, but looking at pics of him again, his plate is a lot more segmented at the front and sides, whereas this Krogans is all in one piece. Unless that's something that changes in Krogan over time, and this turns out to be an older version of Grunt.gigastrike said:
Toombs is pleased with this development.
Also, I would like to point out that while that thresher maw WAS bigger than any other we had seen before, the creature it fought was significantly smaller than Sovereign. As that creature was referred to as a Reaper and not anything else, I assume that it is not especially unusual to find Reapers that are smaller than Sovereign.
