00:30You're locked in to Bioware Pulse, I'm David Silberman.
00:32A couple weeks ago, a new video hit the net revealing the contents inside the Collector's Edition of Mass Effect
00:373.
00:37In case you missed it, I'll break it all down for you.
00:40Let's fire up the headlines!
00:45Mass Effect 3 is just a few months away, and if you're a serious fan like me,
00:49then the N7 Collector's Edition includes stuff you won't want to miss out on.
00:52In terms of physical goods, you'll receive a 70-page hardbound art book,
00:56a limited edition Mass Effect Dark Horse comic,
00:58an N7 patch, and an exclusive lithograph for the Normandy.
01:02There's also plenty of in-game digital content, including an N7 arsenal pack,
01:06alternate outfits for your squadmates, a robotic dog,
01:08and an in-game N7 hoodie for your Shepard to wear.
01:11You'll also get a digital copy of the Mass Effect 3 soundtrack,
01:14bonus character emissions, and Xbox 360 copies of the Collector's Edition
01:18include a Normandy prop for your Xbox Live avatar.
01:21All this comes in a premium metal case that supports commemorative artwork of Commander Shepard,
01:25both male and female. Yes, we listened.
01:28So head on over to MassEffect.com and check out the unboxing video in case you missed it.
01:33Keep in mind, though, that its supplies are extremely limited,
01:35so pre-order it today while you still can.
01:38Now, if you're wondering how to best prepare yourself for the war against the Reapers,
01:42we're going to need some new tactics,
01:43so we're going to throw it to some guys, we're going to give you some tactics.
01:45It's time for Insider.
01:50Hi, my name is Eric Vanya,
01:52and I'm one of the gameplay designers on Mass Effect 3.
01:54Hi, I'm Corey Gasper.
01:55I'm one of the combat designers on Mass Effect 3.
01:58And this is the gameplay room where we have programmers, designers, QA,
02:03and producers all working on combat.
02:05And today we're going to take a closer look at the combat in Mass Effect 3.
02:11So we've put a lot of effort into improving our powers
02:15because every class gets a new, unique power.
02:17And also we've improved the old ME2 powers.
02:20So here I'll show the new engineer power, the Sentry Turret.
02:24So you can launch a turret to spawn in the air.
02:27So you can use this to find any enemy.
02:29So one of the cool things with the Sentry Turret as well
02:32is that you can deploy it and actually see it through walls.
02:36So one of the old ME2 powers that we've upgraded is Overload.
02:40So this was an anti-shield power in ME2.
02:43And we've given it a couple extra upgrades so you can chain the attack.
02:48We're going to be giving you guys a sneak peek of the Vanguard
02:50in their brand new power Nova,
02:52as well as a new Krogan shotgun.
02:55So here's our Vanguard charge ability that everyone loved in Mass Effect 2.
03:00Nova is a close-range shockwave power
03:03that is a high-risk, high-reward power just like charge.
03:07It will expand your barrier to do high damage to all enemies around it.
03:11So as we know, all Vanguards love their shotguns and the Grawl is really unique
03:16because you can fire a tight cone of spikes at a target.
03:21They'll stick into them from long range and actually bleed the target out for a while.
03:26The Grawl is one of the most accurate shotguns in the game.
03:30Some of the big things we wanted to improve is in melee combat,
03:33giving the player more options in close combat and giving them more tactics.
03:38So we've tried to give every class in Mass Effect a new, unique heavy melee.
03:42For instance, this is the Adept's heavy melee.
03:45So it'll send a guy flying through the air with high force.
03:48So the Engineer's heavy melee is completely different.
03:51It's high damage, very little force, and it's all fire-based.
03:54So this is going to help the Engineer take out heavily armoured opponents.
04:00We've revamped the enemy AI in Mass Effect 3.
04:03So here, Eric's an Adept, and as you can see,
04:06shooting the Guardian head-on is probably not the best way of going about it.
04:10But the Adept has a trick up his sleeve.
04:12He can pull the shield right out of the Guardian's hand,
04:15and other classes may have different strengths or weaknesses against certain enemies.
04:20So, for example, the Cerberus Engineer can deploy a little turret in the world,
04:25which is pretty hard to deal with.
04:27But if you're the Engineer player class,
04:29you can hack that turret and turn it against the Cerberus faction.
04:34And that's something our team has put a lot of work into,
04:36is making each class have different ways of interacting with the enemies
04:40in unique and interesting ways.
04:47Thanks, guys.
04:48As you can see, you and your squadmates are going to need all the help they can get to win
04:51this war.
04:52We'll keep you up to date and informed with Eric and Corey next week,
04:55as they give you some tips and tricks on using the new gameplay moods to your advantage.
