Wait, the live gameplay demo isn't until MARCH 17th?!? WTF? Is that a joke? The Witcher 3 had a 30 minute gameplay preview a year before launch and we have to wait until a WEEK before the game comes out? I don't think so!

So that's going to be our mid-Feb gameplay vid... It's really not... That's essentially just a pre-launch event. Well, it might be the "big mid-February event". Look at that "Tickets On Sale" date. Hopefully not. We wants some vids!

And to me waiting this long to release any information tells me they have something to hide. I absolutely think they fell way behind, and have been playing catch-up for a long time. I hope the game is ready for release. It's definitely improving, visually; but I want to see extended, uninterrupted gameplay, of the sort that doesn't allow one to easily hide things. We still have over a month before the game is released. And, we know they plan to show off a lengthier segment of gameplay, as well as MP and the CC. We already know quite a bit about the game already. But people are always hungry for more, and to a certain extent, you want them to be. The aim here seems to be to peak people's interest just in the last stretch without falling over the other side into hype fatigue and possibly showing more of the game than you'd like. Also, it's important to remember that everything doesn't stop on the day of release. You're the first person I've seen to state this so confidently. As a reliable source, I'll take it as good news. I've been away, and had only seen those "not sure" responses concerning the CC. Getting hands-on with MP would clearly be ideal, but I'll not hold my breath on being invited. (I'm assuming it is not an open beta that we were encouraged to register for last November?) I understand the whole timing angle. It makes sense, even if I'm unsure of the strategy. It still doesn't shake the disquiet of the last 5 to 7 years; disquiet I'd expected they'd have long since dispelled, by now. At this point, I don't know if I'll fully buy-in or believe until I'm contentedly playing MEA. That extended gameplay video sure would help, though, for the moment. Let's hope it's forthcoming. EDIT: Let's hope its forthcoming before Aaryn's announced March 17 date. Nearly f-ing useless, that is, for me. Hrungr reminds me of Early Access, though. Reliable opinions will hit the streets before the game. The whole '15 minute gameplay trailer' thing was originally leaked by Shinobi: www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=229887397&postcount=16392I don't think anything has changed since he said that last week, so unless he's mistaken we'll have lots of footage in the coming days.

The Witcher 3 had a 30 minute gameplay preview a year before launch and we have to wait until a WEEK before the game comes out? I don't think so! 2+2=5? Just because it says 'live gameplay' does not mean it's the gameplay trailers they've stated we're gonna get prior to launch. A live event and a gameplay trailer are two totally different things. I'm honestly kind of shocked and saddened that i've got to explain this to people because it literally takes the common sense of a 10 year old to work out. On absolutely no planet would a game company wait until 4 days prior to launch to properly show off their game. It's like you're all so desperate to fly off the handle about anything that you just go on stupid little rants. It's really not... That's essentially just a pre-launch event. Well, it might be the "big mid-February event". Look at that "Tickets On Sale" date. Hopefully not. We wants some vids! Well considering Mike Gamble stated (a few posts up from here) that they are showing the game to the press today there is absolutely no logical reason why we too won't be shown something soon. That's the way it usually works.

ProbeAway, Shinobi is often correct in a general way, if not the exact details. We'll see what happens.

Yeah, they should be releasing more information by now, it's a little too in the dark, particularly with characters. I guess it'll take a few times before they perfect the time it takes to release information, DA:I was too long and revealed too much, ME:A was announced too soon to release and information (as of this moment) is too conservatively given. Though I feel the conservative behavior is based on marketing since the guide will have a lot of the answers to questions...I could be wrong and they're just waiting until the last few weeks to really up the hype but right now it seems more frustrating than hype. No it wasn't--remember, Andromeda was officially announced in E3 2015, and it was kind of an open secret that they were working on the next ME game for a few years before that. What happened to cause this weird delay was Fallout 4 -- they saw how Bethesda basically worked on it quietly in the background until it was damn near done, then they announced it was coming out in about six months and everyone LOST THEIR SHIT. So Bioware saw that and thought, "Shit, why did no one do that before? We should do that from now on." But they had already announced Andromeda with this trailer. So basically I think at this point we're going to get announcements similar to the Fallout 4 thing--where the new IP or the next Dragon Age will be announced out of nowhere and we'll be told, "oh, and it comes out in five months." God, I've never wanted to be in Canada so much in my life before now.

Why don't they just say they want to give the companion Asari eyebrows because it makes them look more expressive? They did it to Liara too and I don't remember them creating weird explanations. Heck, why didn't they just give them eyebrow-like markings from the start? Actually, IIRC, they said that Liara doesn't have any eyebrows, but it's just pigments that look like ones...

I'm excited but I feel like this is pretty vague. Does he mean the press is going to be able to comment on the gameplay they get to see or does he mean we're getting gameplay tomorrow? He did say "to some press." When they teased about things previously, they straight up said "we're showing a trailer tomorrow."

Yep and apparently (again, according to Shinobi) the press embargo on this hands on stuff will lift next week so we should get some bits-and-pieces review then.

That live stream is after the trial, which starts on the 16th. You'll be able to watch several Twitch streams that day so this live showcase doesn't seem all that special.

Fryda Wolff @frydawolff Oh. I didn't think searching for "krogan" would pull up porn this quickly. But here we are. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonBlame Fornax. Fryda Wolff @frydawolff "Specialty editions such as Genit-elcor and Krogasm service devoted but smaller markets." What have you wrought. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonDon't look at me, that's from the trilogy. I cannot be held accountable. When control goes to those secondary organs and all.

Don't know why, but I get the feeling we're going to see a gameplay vid & get a new briefing this week.
Just something that's in my head.

Actually, I think they're doing it right this time. Playing their cards extremely conservatively, extremely close to the vest. I don't need to know anything at all about the story or characters. I'd prefer not to know these things, for the most part. (I may have been the only person not to know about Garrus and Tali being in ME2 until I saw them. Nothing in the original, nor ME3 was spoiled for me, either.) I'm pretty careful. I always "went dark" 6 months in advance and didn't come back until I'd completed the game. What I do want to see is some steady, uninterrupted gameplay. I hope that's a big part of their plan in these final weeks. I absolutely love Mass Effect, but I still need to see a bit of this game for this to be a day one purchase. Times have changed. I don't blindly purchase even BioWare games, anymore.
Fool me once... I've never done that with any game. I always try to make sure it's a game I'm going to like before buying. Mostly due to my disability becausesome games can be next to impossible for me and all they'd succeed in achieving is frustrating me. I don't expect Bioware's games to do that because they're not super hard and they're more about thinking your way through a situation. Yes they do require actoin but th eactions in general aren't hard to pull off.

Actually, I think they're doing it right this time. Playing their cards extremely conservatively, extremely close to the vest. Agreed. As I said in another thread, I'm glad they waited until late in development before showing off the game in earnest. That way, we're not likely to be shown things that aren't going to be in the game. They're pacing themselves nicely, not too much, not too little. The gaming media is snatching up every little tidbit (including the tweets... ) And then leaving some things for us to find for ourselves in-game. I also think it was smart to hold off showing a lengthy gameplay until closer to release. That way, they can (ideally) show off a very polished segment of the game. Indeed I agree with this as well.
