Watch it while it's still up. Nothing major, but some new small details.

0:18 - New type of geth or just a geth with yellow armor (Pyro geth?)

0:32 - Varren attacking a soldier, possible combat pet?

0:48 - Cerberus stun baton vs Shepard's pistol whip

1:07 - Omni-tool powered heavy punch

1:49 - Enemies can flank and use the omni-blade as well.

Also, there was a question in a different thread about where the weapon goes when Shepard use the omni-blade. This video confirms that the weapon simply disappears when he uses the blade. This is not a final build, of course, so it's likely that will change.

Damn, that gameplay is fiiiine. Seems like everything is more dynamic and agile.

Love the pistol whip and the way biotics curve into covering enemies.

It looks much like me2 but more polished and a bit flashier, I like it...

that looks like its running at 60fps, somehow i don't think that will last, especially on the consoles

Since it doesn't have an UI, I'm willing to bet that it's recorded from a build on a PC.

I like how all of the sudden everyone in the ME universe has discovered the concept of a "combat roll."

Anyone else also noticing the way certain powers arc now? I think they added more control to it, probably something as simple as holding down the button and letting go to determine when the power will start turning towards your target. You see it in the bionic power he tosses out, and in another leaked video showing him using the soldier's concussive shot fired in a straight line high above someone in cover, which then drops almost straight down to strike the target. 
 
In ME2, the whole curving powers thing was almost useless since due to lack of control, if the enemy was hiding behind cover, it would always end up hitting the cover unless they were popping out to shoot you, or you were attacking from an angle where it would be better just to shoot them.
 
Also notice how a bionic power is used against somewhere who is clearly still "armored".

I like the sounds of the rifle and pistol but that shotgun (I think that's what it was) sounded really hollow.   Other than that, yeah that's Mass Effect.   
Mmm, Liara....[deviant fantasies].

The problem wasn't curving powers, the problem is hitting with those curved powers in conflicts where you are head on against en enemy in cover. The whole point of curving powers is if you're in a head-on fight where both you and your enemy are staring at each other over cover.
 
Try it. Find and enemy straight ahead of you and in cover. A corner or chest high wall, it doesn't matter. Wait for that enemy to duck behind that cover, you'll still be able to target him, launch your power so that it curves in such a way that you think should his the guy despite him being in cover. That power will still hit the cover. What's worse, area of effect powers will also hit the cover and not take effect. 
 
Now, technically you can get around this by moving slightly to the side of someone around a corner, or get up on a higher position from someone behind a chest high wall. The problem is that if you've moved to such a position, then you're already in a position where simply shooting for straight damage is almost always more efficient.
 
I honestly think this issue stems from the whole curving powers was a very late addition to the game. Combine that with armor and shields mostly negating any powers, and it really wasn't all that fun to play on veteran or higher difficulties unless you were the soldier, or were willing to exploit every little game quirk to do so.

I bet the varran is a new copy bonus like the marbari in DA2

Going Back to ME2, the combat is pretty damn good still, if they smooth it out a little more it'll be amazing.

I thought the mouse and keyboard controls felt great in ME2, but yeah more options would be nice.

I would have liked a gamepad to navigate the menus. Some of them were a little clunky. Mining was also annoying with a mouse.

Well, we know the collector's edition has a cyber-dog for the Normandy SR2.

Watching this makes me want to play through ME again. In fact, that's what I think I'll do haah!

I have two things to say.

1) Why is there so much rolling?

2) Where is the targeting reticle?

Pretty sure people who talk about "fps" are weirdos.  Looks sweet.

That footage was never meant for release, it is most likely going to be compiled for another trailer or something

Rock'n Roll!

There's no UI at all, guys. It's likely meant to be footage that's going to end up in a trailer or for 'gameplay screenshots'.

Me too. It looks disorienting without it.

It does seem more agile. You see enemies vaulting over cover and EVERYONE doing a lot of rolling. This is giving me a Gears vibe. I'll be interested to see how much the RPG elements play a role in the final game.

Everybodys rolling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! edit: still looks like the most amazing game coming out this year

ME3 won't be out this year ... March 2012 from what I know.

Looks like the lighting model has received an overhaul—nice.

Awesome, but where is the hud thing with menus? Better not take that out, I can't play the game without it.

@project343: I remember seeing some of the biotic or tech abilities curving but not in the way they were portrayed in the trailer. I'm pretty sure throw and singularity didn't curve. : o

The melee attack at 1:07 looks really dopey. :[

The developers went overboard with the combat roll. I hope it's only played up for the purposes of the demo; that much rolling in the finished product would be ridiculous.

This is exactly what it is.

Did not like that mini-cut-scene for the Omni Blade attack  

if only we could see more of the RPG elements, unless of course, there aren't any now D:

The biotic sound effects continue to be my favorite thing ever.
 
Sha-wing!

Needs music.
