We were treated to a brief demo of Mass Effect 3 at E3 this week that showed off many of the elements EA displayed during their conference presentation. Mechanics such as moving from cover to cover, melee attacks, vertical level design, and a range of new movements for Shepard like leaping across gaps and traversing ledges were all on display. In addition to that we were treated to something that wasn’t revealed until now: The beginning of the game.
Before the demo starts it’s explained to us that Shepard is back on Earth trying to warn the world about the impending Reaper threat. Of course that means the Reapers decide to attack and Shepard is forced to spring into action. Throughout this segment we see Shepard paired with Captain Anderson as the two characters move through the erupting battlefield around them.
