Mass Effect 3 Demo Release Times

While Battlefield 3 owners have had early access to the Mass Effect 3 demo the rest of us are waiting in the hallway begging to get in. As zero hour approaches our fingers are poised to hit buttons/keys to start the download and get blasting away so we've dug up the release times and some info to help you. It looks like the PlayStation 3 gamers get it last and very late in the day.

Battlefield didn't get early access to the demo, only the MP component.

FrightfulActions5203d ago

The way the article words it does suggest minor misunderstanding, I agree, but to say that they don't get early access is a bit inaccurate don't you think? They still get early access to Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer Demo. Just because everyone can technically download it at the same time doesn't mean equal freedom to play it, normal players are locked out of that portion of the game until 2-3 days I believe it was.

If there are people who bought BF3 for singleplayer only, they're clearly mad.

Cyb3r5203d ago

No Multiplayer demo for Xbox Live Silver members typical

Falloutxii5202d ago

It goes against M$ policy, You wanna play you gotta pay.

ZeroWil5202d ago

Didn't they (Microsoft I believe) make an announcement that Silver accounts would be able to play the multiplayer component?

Legion5202d ago (Edited 5202d ago )

Correct... I also recall reading an article which called the Live Gold system a failure due to them having to give people a free demo of Gold service when getting the Demo for ME3. It stated in the article that a trial Gold period would be given to members to play the ME3 multiplayer demo. (Which I think would be reason enough for silver members to try out the demo)

Also... here is a direct quote from MS on the ME3 Demo that is on their site "Starting on Friday, February 17, you’ll also get the chance to try out the demo’s multiplayer co-op mode over Xbox LIVE. Co-op will even be available to Xbox LIVE free members in addition to our Gold members, so there’s no reason to face the Reaper menace alone."

Update: Lastly here information directly from the Mass Effect Webpage on gaining early access using your origin account. "Early multiplayer access has been granted to players who have activated their Battlefield 3 online pass. Visit this page < https://social.bioware.com/... and log in with your EA Origin account (this is the same as your BioWare Social account) to see if you currently have early access."

Legion5202d ago (Edited 5202d ago )

Going to the link that Mass Effect website link listed it took me to Bioware Social Network and listed "Multiplayer Demo Early Access (From BF3 Multiplayer)" in my "Your registered game content" area. And when clicking on the "More Info" portion it poped up the following info:
"1.Redeem your Battlefield 3 Online Pass on Xbox Marketplace, Origin, or in the Battlefield 3 game.
2.Launch Battlefield 3 and then start Multiplayer from the main menu.
a.This will set the Mass Effect 3 entitlement
b.The "Thanks for redeeming your Online Pass" message that displays confirms that your entitlement is active.
3.Start the Mass Effect 3 Demo and select Multiplayer to play.
a.Entitlements are platform agnostic.
4.For more information, check this thread: http://social.bioware.com/f...

I watching a video of the ME3 demo and had to stop myself to save excitement :)

TekoIie5202d ago

My heart was going mad just watching the reapers invade! :S

supersonicjerry5202d ago

I didn't get to play the Mp and I have battlefield 3 and got it new!

Legion5202d ago

Try activating your online pass and then go to http://social.bioware.com/f... to verify access.

LeoDDestroyer5202d ago

As soon as you can download this. This demo is amazing on the pc so far. Everything about is like wow.

STONEY45202d ago

My only complaint is the TINY HUD on PC. The dialogue wheel is ridiculously tiny. Mass Effect 1 and 2 had it right. Probably fixed in the final game though, as it's definitely something you wouldn't think could be overlooked.

ProjectVulcan5202d ago

Seemed fine to me- it is probably designed for higher PC resolutions however. If you are on a lower resolution the wheel is no doubt much smaller and less distinct on the screen

STONEY45202d ago

I was playing on 1920x1080, and I've read on the forum of similar complaints on high resolutions. I'm guessing the dialogue wheel remains the same amount of pixels regardless of resolution, and that's what the problem is.

anast520d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine520d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast520d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman520d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast520d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman520d ago

Mass Effect 3's Ending for Javik Misses the Forest for the Trees

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
