Mass Effect 3 Demo News Coming in a Few Months
Written Monday, July 11, 2011 By Richard Walker

You can't beat a bit of news that's about something that will be news at a later date. But then, this does effectively confirm that a demo will be coming for Mass Effect 3, so it qualifies as news in its own right. On Twitter over this weekend, BioWare's Casey Hudson has declared that Mass Effect 3 demo news will be coming in "a few months", so clear a bit of space on the hard drive! You're gonna need it.

"Stay tuned for news on demo plans in a few months" tweeted Hudson on his own Twitter page. It doesn't really get any clearer than that. There will be a Mass Effect 3 demo and there will be news on BioWare's plans for the demo - possibly some sort of unlockable items a la Dragon Age II - in a few months' time.

We'll be hoping for a demo with some sort of incentive, like the unique tomes and Hayder's Razor weapon that playing the Dragon Age II demo gave you in the full version. Guess when we'll find out? That's right... in "a few months". Stay tuned, peoples!

How can you have a demo of ME3 without it having spoilers?

It's a day one purchase for me, so I'd rather wait than play a part of the game out of context.

This screen is a good "who shot first" moment, but even with all that armour on the mech, Shepard is going to be the one saying, "sorry about the mess" to the cantina owner.

@ #3 its not for people like you who are already buying the game. A demo is to entice new customers or sway ones who are now sure. Just don't play it and wait for the game.

A Demo announcement in a few months, they should release a demo 2 months before the game comes out to hype the game up.

I hope with ME 3 they plan do all the type of DLC theyd id for DA2 it be nice tos ee them support mass effect 3 with a ton of DLC since they have not done it help compared to DA

@3 : I agree totally. I have no idea why people gave you thumbs down.

@10 : Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. As far as I was aware, the Demo is for anyone who wants to sample the game prior to release. My gripe is that it may have unique unlockables for the main game and yet it would require you to play a spoiler-filled Demo to get them, which is a perfectly legitimate complaint.

I'll skip this Demo and get the game in 2012, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Definitely gonna have to stear clear of this. I'm not thrilled with the way the final part of the trilogy seems to be going, but even then I need to play the last part of my Shepard's story so it'll be a day one buy. I don't need to spoiler anything for myself in the process with a demo.

I don't really see why you need a demo for a game like this when ME1/ME2 had the same mechanics in place. If someone is interested in the series, they'll already have tried it by now and, if they haven't, they need to be started from the beginning anyway.

F...ING can't wait for this 3rd series of Mass Effect. Love Mass Effect 2 lots and I enjoyed Mass Effect but 2nd series way better though but still epic for both series. I am meltdown to waiting for 3rd drop into stores and order onlines by March 2012 :D

@3 I doubt it will be out of context. They'll probably do it like DA2, where you played the very first parts of the game.

Hooray!

This is sort of a random question but in ME2, did anyone have any aliasing issues? Cause in my case it was horrible. Here's hoping they fix it in ME3 or at least add a anti-aliasing feature like the PC version has. Shit like this makes me want the supposed more powerful consoles for next generation RIGHT NOW.

Rant Over.

@29 You sure got yourself a keeper there! :P
@27 Never had any problems here. Maybe you should just go play the PC version if graphics mean that much to you over the comfort of a controller.

Anyway will probably try out the demo. I never really buy SP only games unless I'm really excited for it. Bought the original way late for $20, then loved it. Friend let me borrow the second...so will either just have him loan me the third or give it a rental.
