Simply... cannot... wait. Might as well go back and play the first one a bajillion times to cope with the pain.
I think my excitement level just spiked off the chartz! That video was awesome. I can't wait for E3 now!
The fact that what you did in the first game effects what happens in the second is awesome. Has that ever happened before in game sequels?
I don't think it's a race that you won't see in the sequel. It's the character. This video just got me 10x more excited about it!
Oh god, please...no.
It sounds like they're focusing on all of the things that I don't care about. I don't want more action. I don't want a "darker story". And I sure as hell don't want to play in the wild-west.
What I loved about the first game is the feeling that I'm playing a massive space adventure game. I didn't care about the action, because I was really just focused on exploring the galaxy and learning the back-story.
I feel that they should be telling me about how each planet is now actually worth exploring, or how they've added tons of new interstellar phenomenon. I really don't care if I can blow a guy's arm off.
Obviously, I can't make a call on the game until I get my hands on it. But it just sounds like they're going in a direction that doesn't fit what I felt the game to be "really about".

It's great they're making improvements, as long as, like Rucksack said, the exploration and storyline/backstory gets some more lovin' as well. Those are things that made me love the original. I could sit for an hour or more just reading the codex entries.
The race you killed off will be the Rachni right? If you killed the queen then that will be it for them. But if you saved her then we could be seeing more of her and the Rachni in Mass Effect 2. It was a bit deceiving putting a picture of Wrex during those comments :)
Great teaser though. Does exactly what it's supposed to.
Oh and if you want Mass Effect 2 to be more about the backstory more then read the books. Its not asif Mass Effect 2 will be just action (it will still have the exploration and story elements similar to 1) but it will just be bigger and better than before.
Cant wait to hear more.

The Elevators better be roller-coasters now, I demand it.
Really though, this is getting me pretty hyped. Can't wait to see some info come E3.

Rucksack, you pretty much sum up my feeling after watching this pre-E3 trailer. I care more about learning about the universe and the worlds within than shooting down geth-dogs. :|
'One interesting aspect is the carry-over from the first Mass Effect'
In my opinion that could make or break the game, they've set themselves quite a challenge what with all the choices in the first game and should they add even more in the second I can only imagine the headache they'll have tying everything up in the third.
Even so if they pull it off it could be spectacular and lead to immense replay value of the entire series.

@rucksack Didn't you hear them talk about how there are new alien species and new worlds to explore? You can obviously tell from the first game that they focus a lot of effort on backstory so you'll have even more codex information to unlock. We'll be entering the Perseus Veil in ME2 so there's gonna be tons of stuff to explore.
@owen-lars and Dale
He says "if you killed off one of the characters in the first game you're not going to see them in the second game." The picture of Wrex isn't deceiving because you could kill him in the first game. He's not referring to the Rachni. He's referring to Wrex and Kaiden/Ashley.
Now, it's quite possible that the decision you made concerning the Rachni queen may come into affect in ME2, but that's not what he's talking about here.

yes...Yes...YES!!!!
I came.
Seriously though, I love Mass Effect. Can't wait for this sequel. Watching that trailer in HD was the SHIZNIT too.
You know what would be awesome? If those final few moments of the dude stepping out into space were the in game graphics. If so, I'll be buying myself a bigger HDTV!

Oh yeah, one more thing i wanted to comment on:
It's quite obvious that they have listened to the complaints of the first game and are making changes appropriately. I'm sure that they'll address the elevator rides, boring uncharted planets, and poor inventory management issues.

@THEgg
I'm sure you're right, but the trailer just had a vibe that I didn't like. The game has never been about action to me, and it just seemed like they were pitching this latest installment as primarily a shooter.
I honestly don't think that they're going to "ruin the franchise" or anything ridiculous like that; and, even if that were the case, one pre-E3 trailer wouldn't provide enough information to come to that conclusion.
Just color me a tad apprehensive until I find out a bit more.

I don't know who the guy at 1:45 in the video is but his moustache is of epic proportions.
I wonder if it naturally curls up at the edges or does he have to style it?

So I can just screw around with my save files from Mass Effect to see different races getting wiped out in Mass Effect 2. Nice.
I hope the character development is a bit deeper cause in the original it was pretty easy to max the skills you really wanted and by mid-game you didn't feel any incentive to increase anything else.
Rucksack don't worry there will be lots of info about exploration in the E3 demo. The exploration is much better in ME2.
Dan CiTi there will be a process for carrying over the choices of a specific Shepard if you completed the game with multiple Shepards.
Thanks for all the kind commnents guys, if "I jizzed" is really a kind comment, but I will take it as one.

Looks bloody fantastic - although one of the enemies does remind me houndeyes, a bit, and the cinematics designer has a moustache to rival Geraldo himself!
Well looking forward to it killing about a week or two of my life.
As for the issue of "exploration"....... well that's always a plus. But what made Mass Effect great for me wasn't the exploration (the planets didn't have much ON them), but the depth they went to, to create the universe and explain things. I wouldn't be so adverse to having "Less Planets, Greater Depth".

Sci-Fi boner. Good to see that the improvments going into the new game. Now if we can only get on the PS3...
I hope it will come out on the PC eventually, I dont want the PC version to be 8 months latter and buggy.
ME is probably one of my favorites rpg“s, and in my top 2008 games. I loved everything about it, readin the codex for hours, exploring... I understand that mauybe it has some repetitive issues but nothing they dont had the time to work on.
So Im expecting a great game.

this is definitely one of the best trailers I've seen so far this year. I was such a huge fan of mass effect that I've been eating up any news or video of mass effect 2. I seriously just can't wait, I guess its time for another couple of playthroughs of the first!
I'm more excited for this game than I am Halo ODST, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, inFamous, and Uncharted 2. Sign me the FUCK up. Day one.
HOLY SHIT. SHITTING HOLE.
Mine. MINE MINE MINE OMG.
Does anyone else feel a tingle of dread when they see the EA logo? XD
