So that's going to be our mid-Feb gameplay vid... It's really not... That's essentially just a pre-launch event. yeah our mid feb vid hopefully we get tomorrow or next week at the latest but it should be tomorrow as we've just had 2 weeks of relative quiet really other than the crew profiles. The last big thing we had was the Scott cinematic trailer and the team briefing.

Nope. By that time i will be away of anything Mass Effect related on the internet... yeah I'llhave gone dark by then as I don't want anything story related messing up how I feel about it. I just want to know about the mechanics of the game and tbh that's really the only reason why I'm still tuned in. As I want them explained which I asssume the 15 minute vid we've been promised should do.

I don't know if it has been posted yet but I really would like to ask: which skill/ability trees are available in the game? Same ones more or less as in the trilogy I believe. There are a few new powers and things within that such as flamethroewr which is a new tech power but I don't think we know all of them yet though. We'll likely only discover all of them though once the game itself is released.

We'll get a video part of a new series, most likely to focus on gameplay features. I don't know how long we should expect it to be though.

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. not suer on the briefing but yes I definitely get the feeling a gameply vid is coming. Hopefully the 15 minute one we've been promised.

I hope e get one although I hope it's earlier than that and we get it within the next week or 2. In theory we should get it tomorrow but we'll see. Especially considering there was a lot of talk about something big happening mid Feb.

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. ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
The special is the 4K resolution in Imax.

Snip What I do want to see is some steady, uninterrupted gameplay. 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. ,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸-(_MEA_)-,.-~*´¨¯¨`*·~-.¸
My buy decisions is based on what I know and feel comfortable with a game. Understanding the combat mechanics is key for me. The more I know, the more comfortable I get.
Take DOA. I tried to play it on my PC using a console controller. Besides some very basic moves, I knew I could not master the more intricate ones and therefore, could not progress further into the game. Watching some game play itself won't tell me about the combat mechanics that I must become familiar and master.

March 17th? At that point such showcase becomes pretty much irrelevant for us. Should have been like March 17th 2016... then it would have caught interest. Exactly. At that point I could wait another week and play it myself. Yeah, Gee wiz... Thanks! You're kinda 3 months late...

That thing at IMAX isn't when they are first showing gameplay. That's just pretty much their launch event, like how a few franchises like Halo do huge things on launch night. Bioware is merely doing their's a few days early.

I'm taking it one day at a time with some tea, biscuits, a black russian and watch the Trump soap opera on Youtube. No reason at all to get anxious over a silly ME:A game play video. The Utube chan is much more entertaining.
Still, it's nice to know that Bio Edmonton is putting together a 4K live game play for charity.

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." I think it means once he's done showing off parts of the game, we'll start to get our own sneak peek.

Watching some game play itself won't tell me about the combat mechanics that I must become familiar and master.
Yeah that's what I'm most concerned about. I knew I could do the trilogy as I knew when ME3 came out it'll work identically to ME2 so wasn't worried as it was just finishing the story that ME1 and 2 was telling so mechanics wise it was unlikely to be any different. So I knew I could just jump in just as before With MEA the combat is looking different so I need to know how to do it in order to best cope with it. I'm no ttoo worried about the story and characters as that's one of the things Bioware do best as the trilogy has proven. But I do remember the problems I had with DAO's mechanics when I first got into Dragon Age I found the mechanics in that game confusing as hell it wasn't until more recently when I decided to give it another go around the time DAI came out I decided to get the strategy guides and make an effort to figure this out. In the end I did and I'm glad for it because I love the DA series now almost as much as ME but not quite. But the complexity of the game is stlil pretty fresh in my mind which is why I for sure would like to know more.

It's just a different business strategy that allows the developers to be more flexible about building the game than to be done well in time to focus on distributing and marketing it I believe. It's a good and bad thing. It encourages rushwork but it's better than if the game had been on a shorter leash and they'd have had to cut left and right by last summer to get it done for October/November so marketing could exclusively show off the finished product almost half a year before release.

Bioware is merely doing their's a few days early. this. it's basically the final marketing push before the release meant to reach the largest possible audience, hence the IMAX and the big stage. PSA: looks like there's a 7 day free trial for Origin Access going on right now. www.origin.com/irl/en-us/store/origin-access
