Generic clone? No, I looks just like halo.
Whats odd is that it actually does seem to have the aiming display lowered down like the Halo games do lol

As much as I love the character interactions in Mass Effect, I don't think BioWare ever really do their own universe justice. I would love for other devs to take a crack at utilizing the fiction in lore in other games, and the first things that come to mind are a multiplayer shooter, an RTS/space sim, and an MMO. There's so much that can be done in this incredible universe and I think BioWare have had their fair turn already.

Footage of the cancelled FPS. Just some vehicle driving, obviously never made it past the prototyping stage.

Looks like Halo.
Scrapped in favor of Space Magic.
Sorry to disappoint you.
That's the Avenger, the standard assault rifle for Alliance soldiers.

That's what explorable planets should have looked like in single player.

That........ doesn't look like Mass Effect..... like, at all.
If they could do it right, maybe next gen.

Could be fun, if they had a map that didn't look so bad.
It's a prototype..
You make it sound like this was a last minute cancel and everything was finalized.
seriously.

Well yeah, but the map looks tropical-y and stuff.
I don't want to fight on a tropical map.

Looks like an Unreal Tournament 3 mod. The Hammerhead even jumps exactly the same way as the Manta. The Mako might as well be the Goliath, and the gunship a Raptor.

It gives off Halo vibes, but it also gives off way more Mass Effect vibes though (lens flare).
Why couldn't they have handed this off to DICE and release it a month or two before ME3? But this is still not the only aspect of Mass Effect that has been completely mishandled.
Oh snap, that is spot on.

From just going by the screenshots, I think they had the right idea with the current MP in Mass Effect 3. Keep it a TPS. And hopefully we do see an MMO in the near future, as doubtful as that may be.

Gears of War 2/3's Horde mode was straight copied to create ME3's co-op multiplayer. (Not that that is bad, it really was their best option)

DICE making a Battlefield: Mass Effect would be nice.

Yes, let's ruin those races and worlds with a MMO.

It's a trap!
Calling practically every FPS/TPS a dudebro game is rather pretentious and false. I just don't see the series in this light.
Oh and how about another top-down Mass Effect game ala the old iPhone game. You know, the one with Jacob.
Yes, vehicle control code is same for all 3 vehicles. After second viewing I also noticed Hammerhead has Manta seats icon bottom right, and Gunship has Raptor icon. Also notice how non UT3 part of the HUD doesn't update information on the minimap, and for example when he fires a missile. Also RL works exactly the same, same particles effects. They really based this on UT3.

I would love something that used the art style from galaxies, the gameplay not so much.
Maybe a turn based top down squad thingy.
