Take Earth Back trailer [x]
I like how this is fully CG and looks like it had some thought put into it, and the FemShep trailer…was just like…some garbage in comparison. XD Way to really show the fanbase you care Bioware, real classy. Ah well I’ll just pretend Ash is my Femshep, since she’s ethnic with long hair.
To be fair, the FemShep trailer was done to the exact same quality as all of their other trailers and teasers. I would never call any of them ‘garbage’. Aside from the ME3 Announcement trailer ((which was, admittedly, also John Shepard)), Take Earth Back is the first one done to this level of quality. It was also likely their most expensive, most time-consuming trailer and I’ve no doubt that its production has been in the works for many months. I have a feeling it’s meant to be their ‘flagship’ trailer.
While I agree that the representation of John to Jane has been incredibly disproportionate ever since the original Mass Effect, I have to say that calling Bioware out for having male Shepard in Take Earth Back is unnecessary. They didn’t just whip this up in a weekend after doing the FemShep trailer. They weren’t laughing in their studios, saying “Haha, they got their FemShep trailer, now fuck ‘em! Let’s do a real trailer!”
Female Commander Shepard has never been on equal advertising ground. Bioware could have done more to support the 50/50 choice from the start. That said, I fucking loved the FemShep trailer and I fucking love this trailer.
Also, I love that the little girl is playing with a goddamn spaceship toy.
So. Good. I played the demo, and oh man. I can tell this thing is gonna break my heart all over again. Right from the start.
CAN NOT WAIT. OH yeah and WHO has vacation the week after it comes out, oh yeah, that would be ME!
I’m quite angry this releases the day I have my surgery for my eye. Leaves me with no idea how I will get it from EB...
