Can anyone recognize the track in the video? I don't remember hearing it before and if that is an example of the standard ME3 track, than all of my fears about the soundtrack will have been alleviated (I like the "Earth" Mansell track, but it just doesn't have the Mass Effect feel to me).

Yup looks awkward.
Her face looks 40-something.
I wouldnt say that, she just looks derpy. Her and Ashley are the only two characters in ME that I ever thought looked off and weird. They both look out of place in the game.

lol Chobot is in it 
It seems like the track is new. I don't recognize it from either of the previous soundtracks, but you never know if it was part of the previous atmospheric stuff.

SPACE TANKTOPS
Because fuck the style of clothes characters wore in game 1.
technology is so advanced in the mass effect universe, they no longer need tanktops.

I know right, people wearing their combat armor al the freakin time is sooo much more realistic!

This.
I believe he was referring to the civilian clothing, like those weird latexy gowns everyone wore, which were absolutely hideous. ME series outside the amours is ugly as sin when it comes to fashion. And this tanktop/dress abomination is just another addition to this crumby ME future fashion line.

Jesus! Welp, can't wait for that shit to tear me out of being immersed in the game. I will be totally sucked into the story, characters and world then....hey, what the fuck is Jessica Chobot doing in space? I mean, at least don't make her look exactly the same! Fuck!!
That's what I want Bioware...more people from real life, replicated in my sci-fi fantasy game.
Wait what?? Where?!
And lol at Chobot's character model. So bad. Fucking space tanktops, ok Bioware.

She's not in the video, she was just part of the announcement of characters in ME3.
Honestly, I am unaffected by Chobot's addition (save the fact that it was a big surprise). If her character fits in then it is all fine by me.
I am still a bit taken aback with the facial animations (or sort of lack thereof) for depicting emotions. Because everything else look so polished and a step ahead of second game that it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Looks like a tank top dress in the video. Eh, its not too bad. We're talking about a series that has a race dedicated to male titillation.

Hmm. Chobot's character animation came off rather poor in that video.
In the picture it's her eyes that freak me out.

I dont think its that bad, but it is a little off. Im generally OK with Prinze being in the game, but they should have tailored Vega's character model to be less beastly than it is to match Prinze more. Im glad they didnt just copy Prinze into the game, but Vega has way too much mass and boring a face.
Yea, for a game (that was more in earlier games) focused on dialogue trees/choices with characters, the facial animation in ME is still pretty terrible.
Freddie Prinze... make his character a huge steroid enhanced faux hawk space marine.
Jessica Chobot... make her the same but give her bigger boobs and show the cleavage.

Prinze as Vega doesn't seem bad at all. In the gameplay bit they showed with EDI she sounded a lot less...HAL-like.

I have to confess I went through a range of "emotions" when I first saw this Jessica Chobot. My first reaction was "who the hell is that ?" (not a follower of IGN). Then I saw her in game character and thought "my god that is the ugliest thing I have seen since Ashley". Thankfully I didn't have to look at her face for too long because her breasts nearly gave me black eyes.
Then to complete the ultimate face palm I discover this Jessica Chobot is some no name nobody from IGN. I am hot blooded as much as the next guy and yeah I like a bit of "sexiness" in games. But come on be a bit more subtle at least.
On a more positive note it was good to see Martin Sheen the guy has class and I always enjoy seeing Keith David not only because he comes across as a great guy but his wardrobe is always erm interesting.

I don't have Kinect but I will be yelling at my TV when she appears.
I hope she's not there because her cloying, singsongy voice causes the Reapers to self-destruct and is the only way to defeat them. That'd be derivative.

Think we can fuck Chobot?

Ok, I laughed.
This trailer is full of some of the most cringeworthy PR hyperbole I've ever heard and the Chobot thing is really fucking awful, but I'm part of the problem and will still play this to see the thing through.

The reporter, not Shepard in this image.
So, EVERYONE should dress alike in the Mass Effect universe?

Emily Wong's outfit is sooo much more conservative. mirite?
Are you being deliberately obstinate? There is a certain, futuristic style / theme of the clothing in ME1 and 2. Space tank top is atrocious, and even if it wasn't, that model is a 45 year old face on a 20 year old body. I hope her role is minor at best. One punch to the face (which already looks like it's had its fair share) and then that's the last we ever see / hear from her.
Edit:
It's not a matter of being conservative. It's a matter of fitting in with the style the game is going for.
No, I'm just saying that they should dress within setting. No one really wore tanktops or clothes you see today in the ME universe. The closest thing was what Ashley wore in the first game when she was just on the ship.
It's not the tanktop. It's the fact they've just recreated her in CGI and stuck her in the game.

Why do I keep clicking ME topics on GAF despite telling myself not to?
Yes, verlily the portrayal of female reporters in ME1 was much better when they were literal punchlines.

Snooki here looks pretty bad, but the lighting in the scene isn't helping anyone. A lot of Mass Effect 3 character screenshots seems to suffer from really poor lighting.
It's a bit weird since a couple of talented tech artists at BioWare Austin did a lengthy and in-depth presentation at GDC last year about "cinematic character lighting" in SWTOR. I guess the devs at BioWare Edmonton didn't pay attention or they simply don't think it's that important.

Just a little remainder of why she's famous
But yeah i'm sure her design has nothing but space practicality in mind!
Look, nothing bad with some sexin', that was a fun search, just don't bark like a rabid dog if someone points out the ridiculousness of it all, in a series supposedly about "character development!" and "mature narrative!" and "space opera!"
