Also, are we ignoring the new alien species littered throughout that video?

Not happy about lumping sniper rifles and assault rifles in one category

I didn't like Mass Effect 2 when I played through it, but this doesn't look like that. I may have to grab this.
Aiming is around skill-based accuracy, just like a shooter. Am I understanding your question correctly?
The roe something or another right?
Yeah, I noticed that as well.
I DO like the fact that they seem to be moving closer and closer to a more generic 'action' game rather than a third person shooter.
I would LOVE it if eventually the series allowed certain characters to eschew guns altogether. Or go full melee.
Edit: I thought you said 'Gunplay.'
I disagree that this looks terrible, but I will say that compared to good shooters or good action games the series continues to feel lacking.
I've personally never managed that, but I THINK you can.

They're separate. Pistols and SMGs are lumped together now. As well they confirmed you can carry multiple of the same type of gun. So if you want to carry two different shotguns with you you can. Technically looks like you can carry 4 of any gun going by that loadout screen. So you can be a mad man with 4 different shotguns at once.
1. Pistols
2. Shotguns
3. Sniper Rifles
4. Assault Rifles

Can I ask you if melee weapons are tied to abilities or can one just run around carrying a Krogan Hammer?

Nice and fluid, not the best gameplay but it's good enough. Though female ryders face still seems off.

I imagine going 4 shotguns would slow your cooldowns to a halt though.

Super curious if that was console footage. Looked pretty smooth, so i'd be surprised.
Here's hoping if it's PC, my 1080FE will hold up...
So glad they finally put together a string of videos like this. Faith completely restored

look at all those sweet, sweet options (and that's just the tech and combat options):
Yes, that was what I was thinking. Really great to see an expansion, rather than a reduction (which was otherwise the modus operandi in the ->ME2->ME3 process).

That is not very nice. I can see why someone would legitimately dislike Mass Effect 2.
It is a good game, but it is hardly perfect or unassailable.

Endless shotties. Just switch when one overheats.

Thanks for the clarification.

That'd be rad as hell.
Pro tip from experience with other games using a similar concept (Jedi Outcast and Force Unleashed), it never gets old having cliffs to throw guys off of. Though I realize that 'cliffs' probably have a substantial impact on level design and that the game is built around MANY powers and not just this one, but..just keep it in mind!
Might be OP in MP, though.

Really like what I'm seeing! Seems like some really smart and necessary changes to the combat. I like the idea of using ME1 weapon cooldowns as well as ME2/3-style magazines.
This sure looked way better than what I was expecting. Can't wait for this game to release.

ME3 had way more involved RPG mechanics than ME1, though. ME2 was a bit of a reduction, but 3 knocked it out of the park in that department.look at all those sweet, sweet options (and that's just the tech and combat options):

Oh, I'm not saying it's perfect, especially with age. But, if you legitimately disliked Mass Effect 2 then you arguably do not like Mass Effect, at all.

High five! This video gave me this exact impression. I am actually fairly excited now.
If the game had an extensive list of non-Combat skills I would pre-order it now.
I think what he's saying is that enemies don't react realistically enough when being hitted? Like you're shooting someone and it's like you're just poking them? Could be just because of their shield/barrier though.
Looks good, I like that they don't force you to pick a class and instead let you experiment with things. The movement options look nice too.
ME2 had some pretty good combat and ME3 was fantastic in that regard.

Hahaha. I heard it was great and I love scifi and I love well done characters and I heard Mass Effect 2 was great. I played till I got the best ending because I wanted to give it the best shot I could but it just seemed kind of... boring.
It wasn't a bad game, it just never grabbed me. None of the characters, plotlines, locations, or set pieces stood out. I barely even remember the game. All I remember is there was a character with an eyepiece who's name starts with a G and a girl with some kind of mask who's name starts with a T and my name is Shepard. Thats it.
Oh and I think I scanned planets for resources or something lol

God I really need to get rid of my 780.
This game looks like it'll tear it apart.

Air Dashes?
Stealth is a viable combat option at all times?
Different types of melee weapons?
Oh boy, I wasn't that excited specifically because I haven't seen enough gameplay. Now I'm in.
