Since it has been mentioned a few times at GDC and around the boards, I think it is now safe to confirm that we are going to have 6 character classes for you to customize your Commander Shepard to be as you play Mass Effect.
They are:
Soldier – Soldiers are Combat specific characters.
Engineer – Engineers are Technology centered characters.
Adept – Adepts are characters especially skilled with Biotic abilities.
Infiltrator – Characters who blend their Combat and Technical abilities.
Sentinel – Characters who balance using Biotic abilities and Technology.
Vanguard – Characters who mix their skills at Combat with their Biotic abilities.
We will have more on the different classes in upcoming updates. So stay tuned.

I'M A TWITTER SHITTER
Those two top screenshots are the best, but they all look pretty good.
Plus, we get some more shots of the fanservice-y female outfits. :winky:

It's pretty obvioous it's not coming out in March or April, but I think May/June is entirely likely.
Nothing on the 360 can release anywhere near November. Not even something as huge as Mass Effect or Bioshock.
Unsexy alien women?
How dare you sully my mind with such a blasphemous thought!
Edit: That said, I am hyped as hell about this game.
I do. Good thing you can change gender and what your character looks like.
Also: haha, he does look like them
what's important about november
Where are the female Jabba the Hut-like creatures?
Guess what the plot twist in this game will be. I'm guessing that the alien machines will actually actually be peace loving androids like CP30 who are just misunderstood.
They wipe out all civilized life every so often for humanity's own good.

Those background aren't prerendered, and it's blurry because of depth of field. I think it's a fantastic looking effect.
You are actually the key that opens up the portal to this world. Part of the game will be spent finding out how you can use yourself to close the gate.
I noticed that as well, and I think it is because of the lack of distinctive and dark shadows for the characters. Other than that, everything looks superfine.

Sounds Asimovian.
The last two screenshots suffer from this. The previous ones, not so much.
Unless this game gets positively ripped apart in the early reviews I think it's a pickup for me. It's purrrrrdy - and I do likes my HD.
Edit: Peace loving Android eh? I'll show you where to shove your human-cyborg relations, ya cheeky bastard
looks great to me
Thanks, that is what I was going for.

They still really like to shoot you, though.
It's definitely on for Q2 release barring something unforseen, according to constant hints in interviews.
And I'm most excited to play the character making game again. You even get to choose Shepard's backstory.
I wonder how many times they will re-record the script. No more than four I'm guessing. (Generic white male, Generic white female, Generic black male and Generic black female.)
Is it possible these (especially the action shot of that lizard thing being shot) were taken while the camera was rotating? The game probably uses a blurring effect on everything but the charater models like Lost Planet and Shadow of the Colossus to keep things smooth even while changing the viewpoint quickly.
Also Oktober will be insane what with Grand Theft Auto IV being unleashed among the public at large.
This fall will be crazy, just as all autumns before this. At least this year we have a few major releases spread out a little bit over the course of the year.
With a new Halo and GTA coming out this fall, does this mean the MGS4 will be gobbled up by hype for the other two, similar to what happened with MGS3?

Not really. I mean, these are from Bioware - they're going to be taken to show stuff off. I really doubt the camera was moving, except maybe as a scripted movement as part of a sequence, but it doesn't look like that.
But I do think it might be a cinematic effect, like you see in MGS, for example.
My most anticipated title of this year, despite Halo 3, UT3 and GTA4 being on the horizon.
