Mass Effect’s Teaser Trailer Leaves Us Wanting More

Oh man, we’ve played so much catch-up in posting Mass Effect 2 stuff in the last few days that quite frankly it’s all been a blur to us. At least we get to wrap it all up with this newest minute and a half of cinematic footage (with a full-length version being teased for December 22nd on Xbox Live) to keep you entertained until we have more.

In it, we see Martin Sheen’s awfully-named Illusive Man keeping pretty close tabs on Commander Shepard and his rag-tag band of mercs and misfits. We get another taste of Thane and Grunt in action as well as one other bit that may have gone unnoticed. We won’t say what it is here, though – hit the jump for wild speculations.

So, if I’m not mistaken, when they show the section detailing the crew member on the Purgatory prison ship at around :55 in, watch closely. If you can’t quite make it out in our version above, check it out in HD on the Mass Effect 2 website.

There’s a split-second at the very end of the sequence where you can see the person’s silhouette emerging from the steam and smoke… and it looks a hell of a lot like a Geth Husk! Husks, for those who didn’t play the first game, are humans unfortunate enough to have been turned into zombie-like automatons by the synthetic Geth race.

That’s just my take on it though – I could be wrong. Guess we’ll see for sure on the 22nd, eh?

Man, January 26th can’t get here soon enough…
