This is confirmed to be real according to Jason Schrier. They were going to use this trailer to reveal the game soon if Bioware hadn’t closed. It’s obviously a little unpolished (especially in the fake gameplay section) but it did look promising.

      Which is unfortunate given it was ostensibly an RPG.

      I’ll sound like a hipster, but I still like ME1 the best because it was this interesting promise of an expansive sci-fi RPG world. The world did expand but it sanded off the RPG.

        My favorite is still ME2. I feel like it did the best balancing action and RPG elements without becoming too “Call of Duty”-esque or being weighed down by RPG bullshit or time sink.

        ME1’s “you can hold a sniper rifle, but you’re too brain dead to use it” if you didn’t pick Soldier was a great example of being too RPG bullshit to me. You’re telling me I have the accuracy of a drunk child with a sniper rifle because I picked playing Adept or Engineer? I’m glad they fixed it in the remake.

          The thermal clips in the second one were too much of action game bullshit for me.

          Idk, aiming guns is kinda hard. I’ve never shot a sniper rifle irl but I imagine I’d have about the accuracy of a drunk child with one.

      The story is decent enough, but the missions definitely had some “filler”. Its biggest issue was that way launch it was a buggy mess

          There was, but in replacing ME1 I’ve found that many of the side missions were similarly filler, not to mention the whole scanning thing. ME2 was the best of the series in this regard.
