So, once again, Bio attempts to convey something that isn't.   In other words, that hectic chaotic combat doesn't exist. Yet, they went ahead and promoted that illusion.

Stop jumping the gun Sartoz.

I could also say stop sucking up.... but I won't.  What's your explanation.

I think they said on twitter it depends on how you build your character. It might lead to the type of combat shown in the trailer, as well as a more cover based approach.

If you look through the trailer again you'll see 3-4 different builds showcased. There's adept, vanguard and infiltrator builds. The ability icons change per cut.

So, is it just me or does this look super colorful? I'd almost say somewhat cartoonish.

The gameplay looks ok, though I hope we can also approach this as more of a tactical cover shooter again. I guess all that extremely close up combat was due to the vanguard playstyle they used here and for the trailer, to show off some action and close-ups of enemies.

The facial animations and hair looks pretty bad though, I hope this will be massively polished before release.

The scanning reminded me of the witcher senses in Witcher 3 (which is not that great). I also really hope there won't be too many collectibles and pick-ups, crafting or no crafting, do not make this a DA:I in space please!

Interesting detail: Right after the Krogan mentions that the guys in this place were kicked off the station, Ryder asks about Sloane Kelly, who is -or was - apparently a high ranking member of Nexus security. Is she the woman in the brief conversation scene we saw?

Yep, that was Sloane with a fresh, edgier hairstyle. (You can see her Alliance/Ai 'do on the Ai site.) Seems like someone did a pisspoor job appointing someone like her Chief Security Officer. Jien, most likely?

Maybe Sam is a normal guy that gets royally screwed by the cryosleep accident that impairs the Ryder sibling. Instead of being reduced from "Pathfinder Scout" to a desk job, poor Sam ends up stuck with significant cybernetics.

Maybe Sam is a synthetic, maybe not. I did try to think of what S.A.M. could mean, in terms of a starship intelligence, for about 2 seconds while watching the trailer. If Sam is a synthetic, I hope it's very different from EDI. I liked EDI before it got a body. Afterward, meh...

Drack...

New Canderous Ordo, mayhaps?

Nike has Nike style billboards and still they have used, and may still use, child labor. Assuming the Ai will follow Council laws is a big assumption to make when we know humanity has worked in IA research, and it would be pretty naïve to think the other species, especially salarians, haven't done the same.

What... is going on here.

I think nobody has mentioned it because the Game Informer articles talked about it a couple times, specifically that planet as well as a few other hazards. 
I'm glad they are making it so environmental hazards are an actual threat. They did it in ME1 like you said, but after that only Haestrom in ME2 had it and ME3 just had it in a few multiplayer maps. Hopefully our companions are actually properly suited up this time like ME1 rather than like ME2 and lesser extent ME3.
