During my many travels throughout the internet, this announcement from Chris Priestly on the Bioware boards.

Quote:
When is the demo for Mass Effect 3 being released?
The demo for Mass Effect 3 will be released on February 14, 2012. Timing may vary by platform and geographic region.
What platforms will the demo be on?
The demo will be on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC platforms.


Here are the system requirements - I'll just do the recommended Specs:


Quote:
OS - Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1, Win 7

CPU - 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (equivalent AMD CPU)

RAM - 2GB for XP / 4GB RAM for Vista/Win 7

Disc Drive - 1x speed

Hard Drive - 2.5 GB of free space

Video - AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB or greater, NVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB or greater

Sound - DirectX 9.0c compatible


Additional information is that you will need to download Origin (EA's game installer, I think?) to download and play the demo. Other additonal information is that the demo includes two potions of the game.

Quote:
The single player section includes 2 areas: the opening level featuring the Reaper attack on Earth, and a level further into the game where Shepard travels to an alien home world to seek their assistance in the war effort. This will be approximately 1 to 2 hours of content.


Oh, and ME3 will have multiplayer for all platforms and Kinect for Xbox 360 e.g. voice commands mainly. Also, all six classes in ME3 are available for playing.

I read that three options will be offered to the players - the normal RPG, an action mode and a story mode. The action mode oriented to player of shooters and, as I understand, will play automatically the dialog. The story mode will be oriented to players with low shooting skills but more interested on the story development.

I just found this video on uk.ign.com where around the 6 minute they explain how the three stories work

Action mode: the story is played out for you, you just go from action scene to the next action scene.

Normal rpg: as usual in an rpg, story and action intertwine

Story mode: The combat is scaled down to a minimum, but is supereasy.

link to the video:

Oh, and there's also Shepard running around shooting thins, so some spoilers may abound.

According to their WEB pages Amazon is giving $10 in credit and M55 Argus Assault Rifle, and Gamestop N7 Valkyrie Rifle and Defender Armour for Pre-orders. rah

I am assuming the $10 credit is for a few weeks only, probably until the end of the month (March). This is what I got with other pre-order offers. This is not a problem for me because I always order things from them, it could be a problem for other people.

For those interested Bioware has released a trailer showing the female Shepard. It really is a very nice intro to the female version of Shepard. It can be viewed on Bioware's ME youtube account here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pShKKOV_gA

There is also a thread on the Bioware forums where you can discuss this trailer here. http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/323/index/9211395

And the ME3 foroums themselves had a big overhaul as well - some new videos as well as some new infos here:
http://masseffect.bioware.com/about/story/

Also, rememner that the demo comes out some time tomorrow - for pc - that is. [Apparently some console owners alreadu has had early access to the demo?)]. The demo should also have multi-player if you want to check this out. It is not so much multiplayer as it is a LAN online party as you can play with up to 4 other people over the internet.
