It's apparently quite fast now. -"Building a game about exploring places, so you need a vehicle for that " -"We learned some things about vehicle frustration" -They showed off armor renders, viewable below -"Sounds like the timeline of #MassEffect will be during Shepard's lifetime but won't involve Shepard...hard to tell @GambleMike being cagey!" [Note: Two other tweeters said it sounds like it takes place in another galaxy, though that's not necessarily mutually exclusive with this.] -"Team reiterates that it is not Shepard's story and that this story one is brand new." -"no timeline was announced at the panel. Some hints were made but I have to re-listen to the audio." -"You will see a bit of old with the new (old characters MAY appear) " -"Competition is critical but cooperation is bigger for us" @GambleMike speaking on multiplayer in #MassEffect / "cooperative MP is bigger for us (than competitive)" -"Spiritual successor" vibe for the next -"It's ingrained in us to give players as much choice as possible" - @GambleMike #MassEffect -"The animation team is now doing stuff we couldn't even dream about before" speaking on Frostbite 3 for #MassEffect -"it's not called ME 4 damn it! " [I'm going to keep calling it that until they give it a name.] -No announcements on player race choice of composers when asked -The internet kept dying for the people livetweeting so there are more details that aren't here -"I got video of the new #MassEffect Mako in action" -"Seems strongly implied that new Mass Effect will be set in totally different galaxy, but will contain familiar elements. #SDCC" -"Not playing as Shepherd, and Shepherd is not important to story - new uncharted areas. #SDCC" -"Mako is back in Mass Effect! More agile, no cannon. #SDCC" -"New Mass Effect is focused on exploration of planets, Mako is meant to be fast travel on them. #SDCC" -[Note]: Nerd Appropriate (one of the original tweeters) also said it sounded like another galaxy but they need to double check their audio recording.
