      First details

      The latest issue of Game Informer contains a ton of details about Mass Effect 3. The first round of information is beginning to trickle in, which you can read about below. We've also included a blurry scan/magazine phone from the issue.

      • Game begins with Shepard on Earth
      • Shepard is on trial in regard to the events of Arrival
      • Reapers invade while the trial is happening
      • Prologue: Shepard's escape to the Normandy, off to start finding allies, fighting Reaper troops
      • Squadmates include Liara, Ashley/Kaiden, Garrus, James Sanders
      • Screenshot shown of Ashley with her hair down
      • Confirmed appearances (may not be squadmates): Wrex, Mordin, Legion, and Anderson
      • Game will show a "previously on Mass Effect" comic to make decisions if you're starting from scartch
      • The Illusive Man plays a big role
      • Cerberus is out to kill Shepard
      • Enhanced RPG elements
      • More freedom with character skills
      • Larger skill trees
      • Powers will evolve several times, not just once
      • Weapons are like the ones in Mass Effect 2, have a set list
      • Mods returning, swap out different parts such as barrels, scopes (effect both the weapon's combat performance and its appearance)
      • Numerous endings
      • Who you have in your squad and which allies you recruit greatly impact the endings that are available
      • No multiplayer

      Can't wait to see a trailer of some kind.

        Wait Liara is a squadmate? But isn't she the Shadow Broker now? And Tali isn't even there as starting member? Tali better be there so as Wrex as a crew member.

        Where will you find…

        And how will you use...

        The forbidden fruit?

          Isn't much use for the shadow broker when the universe is ending

            Wait, if the prologue is based around the aftermath of your actions in the Arrival DLC, what would happen for the people who didn't download Arrival? And why would Cerberus be trying to kill you if

            ! you choose the Renegade ending and give them the Collector's base?

              I'm hoping that even if they don't start you off with them we'll have Tali and Wrex as teammates at some point. Glad to see Garrus's name there but they better have Legion in your squad too, he was one of my top favorite new characters. I won't really mind if Mordin isn't in the team, he was a very interesting character to talk to and had a great side story but I almost never used him in combat.

              I think the mentioned comic will let you pick what action was done in Arrival. I'm really happy they decided to put the comic, they dropped the ball on that for 360 users when it came out for PS3.
              As for why Cerberus wants you dead

              ! Even though you gave Cerberus the base in the Renegade ending, Shepard seemed to imply that he was severing ties with Cerberus
              All the mentioned concepts seem promising except the start with the trial, I feel that's a little weak. I mainly want to see the what impact your decisions about the Geth and the Rachni have.
              I'm still worried about how fast it's coming out but it's nice to see some good ideas.

                  So pissed off that Ashleys back. Fucking hated that bitch so much. Especially in the second one.

                  I want that badass motherfucker Thane back. Samara too.

                    I always felt Ashely was the weakest character in ME 1 & 2, which is why I'm glad I killed her in the first one(paragon) and dumped her by hooking up with another in ME 2(Renegade). The dialogue for both Ashley and Kaiden in ME 2 made them out to be assholes and didn't seem like they wanted to help Shepard out again regardless of your chosen path.
                    I also would like to see the return of Thane and Samara/Morinth, both were interesting characters and did well in combat but I wonder if Thane's condition will be a factor in his return.

                    I'm happy about that too, I think I saw something about the ME games after this may have multi-player/co-op.

                      Well, Mordin's quite old by Salarian standards (Salarians over 40 are supposed to be rare, and he's somewhere in his thirties during Mass Effect 2) yet he's returning. Plus, if I recall correctly, Thane's dossier from Lair of the Shadow Broker implied that there was some sort of cure or at least a treatment that would help to keep him alive for longer. (then again, I haven't played that in a while, so I might be wrong in that regard)

                        I'm betting that James Sanders is the brother of Kahlee Sanders. For some reason.

                          I'd bet money on this. He's definitely related to her in some way anyway.

                            Don't see how they drop the ball with the comic if the comic served for the ps3 users as ME1 since it wasn't release on that console.

                            I am hoping for Tali to come back later.

                            Right now I'm replaying 1 and trying to 100% it before going on to 2 and 100% before 3 is out.

                              Well when you remember the fact that Cerberus went around doing bad things to the military you can't blame either of them for being dicks to Shepard for working with Cerberus even Anderson wasn't to fond of the idea of Shepard working with them.

                              • Mods returning, swap out different parts such as barrels, scopes (effect both the weapon's combat performance and its appearance)

                              Hope this doesn't mean they're bringing back infinite ammo.

                                Dropped the ball as in they should have had a comic for 360 users since not everyone played the first or wanted to buy and play through ME1 for all the choices.
                                I have two characters in ME2 and would like to start a third one for some different story choices in 3 but I really don't want to re-play all through 1 again, a comic for quick choices would have been a nice option.

                                I agree to an extent, it's just that I still felt that they should have had a little more trust in Shepard(depending on his path) with all they went through together.Almost no one in Shepard's crew from ME2 like Cerberus but they still follow Shepard(Tali,Garrus) because they respect him even if they don't respect Cerberus.
                                I will say that when ME2 came out I was very surprised at Cerberus being shown in a positive light considering all the super screwed up shit they did in ME1.

                                    You know, I do not remember the point, something to do with research about Thresher Maws and experimenting on the soldiers.
                                    Maybe trying to find ways to combat them better:unsure:

                                    It'd be nice to see more of them in ME3 or some other large creatures. The first time you went driving to see some spot on a planet and one popped out, good times.

                                      @Zyordius:

                                      Dropped the ball as in they should have had a comic for 360 users since not everyone played the first or wanted to buy and play through ME1 for all the choices.
                                      I have two characters in ME2 and would like to start a third one for some different story choices in 3 but I really don't want to re-play all through 1 again, a comic for quick choices would have been a nice option.

                                      It would of been nice but I actually didn't mind re-playing ME1 and it was well worth it really. Kinda get the nice feel of the ME universe other than just a Comic and really don't get the characters honestly.

                                      Kinda hope they add more mission from ME like the Moon mission and exploring different worlds with the Mako lol

                                      Where will you find…

                                      And how will you use...

                                        You're right about getting a better feel and I know some of the minor choices can't be picked in the comic, I replayed ME1 before the release of part 2 but when I was finished with ME2 and thought of another guy, I didn't have the will to go back through ME1 for the custom choices, I just wanted the lazy option.
                                        I was thinking about the Moon mission the other day and would love to see some of that in ME3. I didn't enjoy the vehicle stuff in ME2 so I hope they will bring back exploration.

                                          Welp, better crack open my revived 360 and bring my Karrie and Program Shephard into the third game. And when I'm done, my IRL friend should share his downloads with me (if he can.) :)

                                              And no multiplayer? Thank you, Bioware. Save your memory for more story, not fucking multiplayer.

                                                I just finished my 1st play through in ME2 2 days back. and set my mind on getting ME1 & plying the whole series with one character, seems the right thing to do, otherwise the story wouldn't be complete for me (for ex. I had no idea why I killed Wrex in ME1 or why would I choose Udina over Anderson, etc…).

                                                & I'm sad to see there is not much anticipation around here for Jack & Grunt. Among all the group those two are the one's I'm looking forward to see in ME3 the most (along w/ Legion).

                                                I was banned from HxH thread b/c Robby disagrees with my opinion. ![](images/smilies/ipb/cool.png "Cool")

                                                        This is what sucks about the first ME not being on PS3. I don't really know who Kaidan and Ashley are. The only thing i know about them is from the interactive comic book and the one scene in ME2 where you meet Kaiden/Ashley. That leads to me not having an emotional bond to any one of them.

                                                            Especially since Garrus is back as well, and they've always kind of seemed like a case of 'If he's there, then Tali's there as well'. Chances are you probably get her in your group permanently after taking care of the problem between the geth and the quarians.

                                                              It called youtube, dude. Go watch some let's plays.

                                                              True, but i wouldn't get that emotional bond with them if i haven't actually played the game where they appear. Before ME3 comes out i'll definately look up exactly who they are, but still.

                                                              I might just be nitpicking though.

There's no good feeling like doing it yourself, and you can't get as personal a connection unless you experience it. Plus, I don't think the PS3 users get all of the little things in Mass Effect 2 like messages from people you helped out in sidequests, Giana Parasini, and other cameoes.

                                                                  –- Update From New Post Merge ---

                                                                  Who thinks this game can top Mass Effect 2 as far as the last level goes? You can say whatever you want about the rest of the game, but the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2 was easily one of the most satisfying last levels and endings to a middle chapter I've seen.

I enjoyed the fact that you were solo for the whole mission and it had some good action but the story wasn't that good and for this to have such an effect on 3 they really messed up by taking the decision part away from you. Also, meeting Admiral Hackett was a little underwhelming.

His awesome attitude is still intact at least.

                                                                              Whoa i want that game soooo bad!
                                                                              I just finished ME1 again and now i'm playing a vanguard for the first time in ME2.

                                                                              There are just too many squad members that i would want to return. Thane, Tali, Liara, Garrus, Grunt, Samara, Mordin, Legion … although i would already be happy if i just can get that romance with Liara to a happy ending.
                                                                              Mirana and Jack can kill each other for all i care.

                                                                              Good to hear that it will be more RPGish again. ME2 was great and dynamic, but the the lack of customisation disappointed me.

                                                                                Has anyone played Arrival and or the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC?

                                                                                I honestly love the Dialog in LotSB. Makes Shepard a more likable character since he sounds more alive than bland from ME and ME2.

                                                                                Shadow Broker was brilliant. Arrival… not so much. I cant imagine playing Arrival mid-game though. Just seems odd.

                                                                                I reckon Overlord was the best of the ME2 DLC's though. Loved the story and creepy atmosphere. The payoff for the final battle makes it more than worth the money.

                                                                                The only DLC I've missed was Pinnacle Station but I've been told it's not too worth it anyway.

                                                                                Proper pissed off that Ashley's back though. Especially as a main.

Fine by me as I still haven't gotten very far in ME2 on the PS3 and refuse to play more until Bioware gets their shit together. Each and every patch they release on the PS3 fixes one or two things, but royally fucks 4 or 5 other things in the process. What is so hard about putting a game on another console? Bioware is making it seem like rocket science… and they're not rocket scientists.

Also I said before one of the major releases of the year was going to be fucked over with an early 2012 release never would've imagined it would be ME3.

But yeah for those who don't know, when ME2 launched on the PS3 it had a major glitch. If you had a lot of scene translations (the loading screens when you change areas, including inside the Normandy) in one gaming session the game would crash and your save files (not just the last one you used, ALL of them) would be corrupted. They told people a week later, after many had lost many hours, that they'd have to reset the game every couple hours till a patch came out.

                                                                                                    Well, a patch came out and that problem was fixed. But now all the audio in the cutscenes are out of sync for many people among other glitches.

                                                                                                    1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                                                      Really? I had very little trouble with ME2 on the PS3. The only big glitch I can think of that I ran into was during Kasumi's mission where she suddenly turned into this frozen doll that just bounced around. But I reloaded and everything was fine afterwards.
