Okay, Bioware trailer breakdown.
The Bioware trailers at The Game Awards were some good damage control for sure.
NGL I’m not really excited about DA4 right now - I would really prefer they show some gameplay...something to confirm the game actually exists. I’m sure once they show that I’ll be screaming alongside everyone else. It’s a video game. Show me the video game.
While also a teaser, the Mass Effect trailer was super well done--that Reaper SFX! I’m more forgiving of this because we just heard about a new game a month ago and they’ve already given us a fairly lengthy teaser that wasn’t just a pulsing red light and a sound bite mixed from previous games. To cope with what will most likely be another disappointing 6 years of waiting, I’ve broken down the teaser for you.
A mass relay...remember in ME3 these were not in great shape afterwards. Also, there’s a lot of crap everywhere so whatever’s happened here didn’t have a good time.
A planet with the Mass Effect lens flare and a moon. Earth? Nah, look at the other moon hanging out back there. Maybe we borrowed a moon from someone. Plus this planet looks a little too “cool” to be Earth. Unless they’re just pushing some fancy CGI here?
Hello mysterious hooded person walking on a giant metal thing. That shrimp roach thing in the background is a dead Reaper if I ever saw one, which implies Synthesis and Control might not be happening here, which would suggest Destroy is canon. (The Reaper isn’t moving) But why give us RGB if you were going to pick one anyway, Bioware? And why is there snow everywhere?
Kind of seemed like she knew exactly where to look.
Being buried under that much snow I’m guessing this is a while after whatever happened here. SPOILER ALERT if you have a high enough score at the end and pick Destroy you’ll see Shepard for a split second as they take a breath. So..what is this, just collecting the armor? Some other N7 that was hanging around !Earth?
Oh hey there, giant moon. It’s possible that something majorly screwed with Earth’s weather systems and the moon or this really isn’t Earth and we’ve got a very familiar asari digging up N7s on random snow planets that were invaded by Reapers. Also, cool ship. I see a salarian and a krogan in the background and someone else that’s a bit hard to tell (a prothean maybe -- in which case they really did just decide to go with a canon ending)
I think we can probably guess this is Liara, though she looks a bit older, which makes me think this isn’t some in-between ME1 and ME2 story. Actually a lot older. She’s a pretty recognizable asari and given the connection between her and Shepard regardless of if they were a couple or not in your playthrough, it’s likely it’s her.
SHE’S HAPPY. I wonder why. Still also wondering about that giant moon.
