PostSubject: Mass Effect 3 DEMO   Mon Jan 23, 2012 7:35 pm

Just in case you didn't know what to expect from the demo, here's what i've just found:




"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.



What content will be included in the Mass Effect 3 demo?

There are two sections in the Mass Effect 3 demo, both included as part of a single download: 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.The co-op multiplayer section includes 2 maps: Slum and Noveria. This section will be open to players who have qualified for the early multiplayer access as of Feb 14, and will then open up to all players on Feb 17.


How do I qualify to play the co-op multiplayer section before Feb 17?

The early access program for the demo’s multiplayer section begins on Feb 14, 2012To gain access to multiplayer in the demo any time between Feb 14 and when it opens up for everyone on Feb 17, a player must have met one of the following criteria:
Own Battlefield 3 and have activated BF3’s Online Pass. Logging into the demo using the EA Origin Account linked to that Online Pass will automatically unlock the multiplayer section of the demo. Note that you do not have to enter a code anywhere – if you have activated your BF3 online pass, the multiplayer section of the demo will be unlocked for you when the demo goes live.Participate in an early access program that will be announced on Feb 7, 2012 – watch this site for more details.



Is there a way to verify I am qualified for the early access to co-op multiplayer?

Starting Feb 7, 2012 there will be a form on www.masseffect.com which can be used to verify if your EA Origin Account has been assigned early access privileges.


Can Mass Effect 3 co-op multiplayer be played split-screen?

No – the co-op multiplayer in Mass Effect 3 is online only.


What languages will the demo be in?

• In-Game Voice Languages: US-English

• In-Game Text Languages: US, FR, IT, DE, ES, RU, PL


Can I import saves from Mass Effect 2? Does the demo create a save game for the full version of Mass Effect 3?

The demo does not support save importing and does not create a save game for the full version of Mass Effect 3.


What character class can I play in the demo? Can I customize my character?

All six classes from the full game are included: Soldier, Vanguard, Sentinel, Engineer, Infiltrator and Adept.Players will be able to create a male or female Shepard, customize their appearance, and level up their character’s abilities and powers.


Will the demo feature the ability to set player initial player experience options by selecting “Action, “Role-Playing”, or “Story” settings?

Yes.


Is Origin required to play the PC version of the demo?

Yes. You will need to download and install the Origin Client (Link) and have a valid Origin account.


Will playing the Mass Effect 3 demo spoil the main game story for me?

The single player section of the Mass Effect 3 demo is taken from the main game and therefore by definition could be
considered to contain spoilers. The multiplayer section of the demo does not contain spoilers.



How long will the demo be available?

The multiplayer section of the demo will be deactivated March 5, 2012 The single player demo will continue to be
available past game launch (for a number of months – exact date for the demo to be taken offline is TBD).



Does the demo support Kinect on Xbox 360? In what languages?

Yes, the Xbox 360 demo of Mass Effect 3 does support Kinect functionality. The demo will have the same Kinect voice command language support as the full game: English (American, Australian and British dialects), French, German and Italian.

Thanks for the info mate. I'm still on the first one! I've bought no2 and dlc as well many months ago but haven't touched it yet.

I kept getting blown up on the first one on the first bit where you drive a meko and I was getting peeved so I haven't played it since...

I never finished the first on either because of that meko thing Evil or Very Mad

Still played the second though, thought it was a much better game, just have the Arrival DLC to do to get me in the mood for ME3

Don't think I'll bother with the demo if it means playing the first two missions twice

Personally i hated the mako parts....nice idea just poorly implemented. While you don't have to finish it to play ME2, it helps as you can import your character and get some bonuses for doing so.

I'm tempted to buy ME1 & 2 just to replay em.

I'll deffo be getting the demo, it'll help my Mass Effect withdrawal. And as you can't import your previous character into the demo, i'm hoping it's going to look and feel quite different. Plus, i want garrus to here me when i call him a DOZY $%$"%" as i shout at the kinect lol

Just waiting now to get my xbox time, it's already queued to download, then i'll get to see what all the fuss is about.

I know i'm going to love this regardless, to be honest i'm more excited to see how well the kinect features work.

I downloaded this last night then got fed up messing about with the character lol! Maybe I wasn't in the right mood. I bought Mass Effect 1 a while ago and couldn't really get into it Rolling Eyes

I couldn't get into mass effect 1 and I sold it but then I bought it again and got stuck and stopped playing it again lol It should have had more of a tutorial or a training mode I reckon.

I'm gonna give it another go though because I just tried the single player on the new demo and really enjoyed it. Just gotta try the multiplayer.
