BioWare Pulse: The Sound of the Reaper Invasion

[smackgod18]

I want a reaper car horn. Lol

[Pho5phoru5]

The sounds of the Reapers and the Geth in the Mass Effect series are very unique and extremely well done, really looking forward to ME3

[jimjames59]

It's crazy how if the sound is done perfectly, the team does the best job possible, the result is that you hardly ever even notice it. If you don't notice the sound in a game/ movie, that just means it's very well done.

[Dragodemon000]

On 3-6-12 it's time to...

*sunglasses*

Take out the trash.

YEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

[MarkArandjus]

"That is one creature I do not wanna mess with."

I do! I WILL!

[Tounushi]

Will the "reaper horn" be a new industry standard for a generic AI/machine voice?

We've already heard it in Terminator -Salvation and the Geth stutter in Mass 1 and 2.

[deathrooster14]

@Tounushi wait, what?

[Tounushi]

@deathrooster14

/watch?v=aL6a0DLT6YQ

[Murfitizer26]

am i the only one that thinks the reapers look significantly different in the air/space than on the ground?

[demon794]

does the reapers to anyone remind them of those aliens destroying the earth in like the 2007 war of the worlds

[lordzilu1584]

FUCK THIS WOMAN

[CannonLongshot]

I, for one, welcome our Reaper overlords, and remind them that I throw quite a lot of waste away.

[BenFosterism]

this infomation was in ME1 collectors edition.(which was amazing for content on the disk)

[iBloodySnowKone]

Kool :D

[3Z3K13L08]

By am I glad I finished my custom home theatre set up. Dali 5.1 and an Onkyo amp. It's gonna rock this game!

[3Z3K13L08]

Did they record this is the bathroom? Why so echoey?

[Phoodchain]

dubstep

[etocadet]

lol bioware do oversell themselves, "we've got an "exclusive" interview WITH OUR OWN GUYS"

[CaptainBrawnson]

Please pleas please, Bioware, get some better recording gear. This audio pains my ears.

[3Z3K13L08]

@CaptainBrawnson I hear that, this is horrible!

[TedBundyDoesntLikeu]

Video starts at 2:19

[chanelMAN23]

i told my friend that Reapers sound came from bear protected garbage can

he was like : something that has been voiced by garbage can cannot be that scary

and then he saw and heard sovereign and harbinger for the first time ( i know its unbelivable) ... then he was like : HOLY SHIT ... okay i take my words back :D

[SonOfLoki101]

It's interesting that everyone assumes that you'll defiantly be able to stop the reapers...

[Lrdvltr]

I want that shirt.

[liamjd1]

Extremely limited my arse.

[paintballdude26]

@liamjd1 thats just the opposite for me. Its the first time ive ever seen a preorder out.

[KakashiKyle9]

Didnt she work for IGN?Did she quit?Good for her.Proud of her.

[shortial12]

@KakashiKyle9 Yeah, she did use to work for IGN. I miss her very brief, small comments at the beginning of each Newsletter that she use to edit for them. She can be hilarious when she wants to be.

[PigPieGuy8]

@shortial12 I know right! Know we have that Winner Dark souls guy...

[luciduspostremo]

I know of a creature you do wanna mess with... zing!

[SpadeAce90]

who the fuck age-restricted this video?

[t10bears]

@SpadeAce90

evil polygons

[Metallisika]

Go to 2:20 to skip marketing.

Also, they use the same speakers I have. Genelec for the serious win.

[firehawk5628]

this would make the most suspenseful movie ever

[BladeXstrike1324]

really a 2min commercial IN a 5min video?...... watever still a cool vid

[SurealBlurr]

3:50 That reaper communication is dirtier than my history

[beakedporpoise]

Tehe the reapers were born from trash :)

[gravityhammer25]

I miss the guns in Me1 no reloading.....

[0senBlade]

Well this give a whole new meaning too

*sunglasses*

Trash talk

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!

[halo4ify]

3:40 stormtrooper!!

[FraanErdan]

ah yes reaper

[Wahoon71]

Council: Oh yes, trash cans make The sounds of of mythical legends or "Repears", we have dismissed that claim

Shepherd: WTF

[flockofmurlock]

5:07

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

[JackBawa]

Ah yes, Garbage Cans.

[FrostyDaimon]

why this video has a limit of age?everyone should know it))

[ADMNtek]

sounds abit like the tripods from from war of the worlds

[dkyoandblade]

it's time to...take the trash out. Mhmmmm

[Merchant2006]

3:15 I make that sound when I cum

[sephiroth1018]

2:20 what u came here for

[xCynicaLManiaCx]

2:46 He plays Mass Effect 3 on the left

[sadikh92]

HOT

[Xenomorphine]

I used to wonder why the male Shepard always sounded like an infomercial. Now I realise he must have thought he was in a Bioware video. D:

[MrKaddus]

That's a high tech looking kitchen...

[Thongger]

Eargassm

[MonoFaction]

Mike Kent, Mike Hunt... So close!

[simpleton7]

4:08 aboot

[oblonghas]

WE WANT DAVID SILVERMAN!

[LightningEidolen]

@yezmanok13 :)

[LightningEidolen]

@yezmanok13 Well then i apologise for my misjudgement.

[quidproquo2004]

All hail the great garbage cans in the sky.

[KopperNeoman]

@quidproquo2004 Oh great, an indoctrinee.

We're blowing them up, not hailing them!

[Darkside780]

Finally something that isn't fucking Gaylo and it's Covenant, shit...i've never played this game before, but i'm buying it to get away from the fucking over hyped Master Queef.

[etocadet]

@Darkside780 buy ME1 and ME2 (and all of 2's DLC, one has DLC but it ain't part of the main story) trust me you won't be disapointed

[0perativeX]

Give us a twirl Kristine ;)

[GAM3HAZARD]

Reminds me of War Of the Worlds(2005)

[Lichman12]

Ah yes, Reapers...

[LightningEidolen]

@yezmanok13 Im guessing idiot, that if you fixed your scars in ME2 then it would be fixed in ME3. Stop judging a game when it aint even out yet.

[MrPlee01]

making the sound effects in video games has got to be FUN

[rhazelett]

It's ironic and funny how bad the sound on her voice is.... Wtf Bioware. EA can't buy you an epic mic? Is good sound quality in videos "not efficient" (Borg voice) when next quarter's stock prices are the ONLY concern, and NOTHING ELSE. Whoah, EA. Whoah. Let's throw Dragon Age 2 under the bus so that we at least release SOMETHING this quarter, and have enough capital to release Old Republic NEXT QUARTER, and then ME3 the quarter after that? Whoah, EA. Whoahhhhhhhh you're pretty cool.

[333mimir]

@yezmanok13 To be honest no.

[333mimir]

@yezmanok13 You didn't consider the possibility that not everyone bought the upgrade?

[arontana]

@333mimir He never mentioned anything about buying it, he was hinting to the existence of it in Mass Effect 2.

[mujuma]

Mike Kent.

What a shame.

[Smeire1]

Video starts at 2:20.

[feliciano2040]

Doesn't that chick work at IGN ?

[Zuitman]

@feliciano2040 Think she left IGN a few weeks back

[feliciano2040]

@Zuitman You gotta be kidding me, she liked Mass Effect so much she went to work for Bioware X-D ?!

[CptNickk]

The conclusion BIOWARE YOUR SOUND IS GARBAGE

[Xsifilad]

They should make a dub-step track out of those sounds.

[refentil]

i want that sound at 3:42 as my car horn

[SinDawg030]

@refentil I want that noise coming out of a foghorn whenever I enter a room mwahahaha!! Fear me pathetic mortals! BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[SasekPL]

She has a very fatiguing voice...

[BordersOfInsanity]

GAH SPOYLOR 5:07 lol

can't wait for 3!

[Davito2000]

The new digital sounds arn't bad, but I still find the first to be the eeriest.

[ChaX424]

Hey it's Skrillex

[imunder01]

hey mrryan 9000, if u eat 3 square reaper meals a day, I wud hate to see ur teeth lmao

[andurion]

The Reaper sound = evil whale song

[Eliandor100]

@andurion Fuk you Whaaaale

[KIREEKPSO]

Good stuff, keep it up bioware, can't wait to play the game.

[hotcreamables]

Reapers talk to each other while destroying planets...thats cute XD

[MrRyan9000]

I eat reapers 3 square meals a day.

[dregatarlol]

war of the worlds is the answer . bye

[Estebanus1305]

There's a stormtrooper beside Mike's computer!

[MagiereShepard]

Bioware pulse > All other news shows.

[TheGomesTuga]

SPOILERS! the press to start image XD

[xHugoxN7]

so humanity will be defeated by an army of giant garbage cans ? XD

[GoggleEyedHermit]

I hope you can turn off the "FOLLOW" markers.

[fearghasmor]

Her voice is scarier than the noises those professional sound designers came up with.

I could so take the reapers but if they came at me saying "on bioware daat caaam" I'd need new trousers...

[EzeeKill2517]

... The Reapers sound like Decepticons...

[zippomage]

@mishonacro I liked the sounds that the decepticons made, too. I would not be disappointed to hear decepticon chatter in the games.

[princesstikal12]

well there's the sound of my nightmares from now on.

[krrisss23]

Fuck yeh i soo gona get Mass Effect(TM) 3 N7 Digital Deluxe Edition <3

[PeterTechGuyy]

They just made me hate garbage more than already was.

[MjmanDK]

Gives a whole new meaning to GARBAGE DAY!! xD

[Killchrono]

@MjmanDK *puts on sunglasses*

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

*gets shot by a Reaper*

[TommyIrianto]

Yeayy... that sound only needs Tom Cruise running around sneezing at the reapers to kill them.

Makes me wonder.. could be that those Martian Tripods from War of the Worlds are actually Martian Reapers?

[FallenAndRised]

so garbage cans are reapers?

[GhostSnake]

I like how the top comments are always talking trash about Bioware

[testyvenom]

"Ever wonder WERE the..." Nice grammar. Not really.

[AdmiralJamin]

For a video that's all about sound, the audio quality on the announcer's voice is terrible...

[ratchetgladiatorfan]

Kristen Steimer used to work for IGN, she reviewed LOTSB and Arrival.

[Nineteen1900Hundred]

His name is Mike Kent.....wow. Imagine it's said fast by Eric Cartman.

[malaysianmetalhead]

i wonder if they use soda can's sound for something else...

[DeusExAngelo]

Actually this is what I imagined the Reapers to sound like. A powerful metallic sound yet it also sounds very animalistic and sounds very much like the massive mechanical monsters the Reapers are. This just increases the overall scope of power the Repears seem to have. Plus Anderson asked a very legimate question: "How do you stop something so powerful?"

I mean it took an entire fleet to bring down one Reaper, how many fleets will needed to stop an army of the things?

[magnusmastah]

@DeusExAngelo A virus. Lol.

....I'd be sad if that was the kicker :(

[DeusExAngelo]

@magnusmastah

After Commander Shepards valiant efforts to unite all the races of the galaxy to band together as one to fight the Reapers in a massive all out galactic war...

What destroys the army of metallic eldritch abominations is the blue screen of death and corrupted harddrive. That'd be both anti-climatic and lolzy at the same time.

[Valen123456]

@DeusExAngelo Hopefully not some major deus -ex-machina weapon system, my personal thoughts on the Reaper fleet is that ones on earth are actually just an advanced guard, the reapers had limited ability to send a small number of ships (few hundred) to take out the one race whos caused them the most trouble (humans) then use that planets resources to build another Alpha relay to get their remaining 10's of 1000s here, the final mission is to take out or redirect that new relay

[etocadet]

@Valen123456 they have the citadel for that, that was their primary way of getting here, I really wanna see what goes down on the citadel i hardly had any real significance in ME2

[Valen123456]

@etocadet Mass Relays are supposed to work in pairs remember, so the Reapers must have had a twin to the Citadel to get into the Milkyway galaxy, my theory is they retrofitted their end to allow some of their fleet to get to earth to make a second Citadel relay to let the rest in, that makes sense for a final mission, while your allied armies keep the reaper fleet at bay Shepard and co take out the new one, gives lots of alternative endings depending how you have played and ME3 choices

[snfonseka]

We don't call all the reapers as "Vanguard of your destruction". It is only Sovereign because it is a vanguard and it is the one who said, "I am the vanguard of your destruction".

[PlaystationThree60]

@snfonseka good point mate

[snfonseka]

@PlaystationThree60 Sometimes even BW employees don't have an idea about what they talking :)

[nocbl2]

Well, if you got the ME Platinum Edition, you know all this...

[frannydai]

You guys need to get a better mic. In-camera sound is terrible.

[SinDawg030]

the Tripods can eat their hearts out! That "BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" noise that the Reapers make is terrifying!

[Coruscant0]

Ok nice enough i just hope the footsteps of the reapers have little more "Godzilla comes walking big, heavy and slowly" sound.

[cryoist]

The first host was great;I felt his passion for Mass effect but then now each time they do "the pluse" these new hosts sound and act like puppets.I don't sense love from them.

Bring the first guy back.

[42crazyguy]

@cryoist define "the first guy"

[cryoist]

@42crazyguy ,David Sliverman,the one in the 1st Bioware Pulse episode.

[master0675]

yea just stop the pulse news shit. I just want to see gameplay and stuff on the game

[XboxLiveSpartan001]

I hate the girl from bioware pulse... just get to the fucking point idc about clothes

[Redskins311]

@XboxLiveSpartan001 ummm I care about the clothes. I have been waiting for more info on this hoodie for several weeks. Bioware makes badass clothing.

[XboxLiveSpartan001]

@Redskins311 looks gay to me.... and the hoe still takes too long to talk and sounds like a fucking idiot

[Redskins311]

@XboxLiveSpartan001 you sound like a wonderful human being. I'm sure your parents are super proud.

[XboxLiveSpartan001]

@Redskins311 Thanks i know

[touring3d]

Great job hosting, Kristine!

[andrew86722]

She needs bigger bewbs for me to pay attention.

[soren7550]

Dear BioWare,

I love your games, I love your products. I love you.

For Christmas, can I have the charcoal elite armor stripe hoodie?

Remember, I love you.

Love,

Soren

[AktivityNow]

@soren7550, your name is too similar to Saren so this essentially disqualifies you from winning anything from BioWare ever, including their love.

[Kairuification]

I love hearing the Reapers communicating between each other; it is creepy like a nightmare.

[Hobbittio]

You don't want to mess with reapers? GET OUT OF HERE!

[bullyman100]

Pulse is like the Bioware version of ESPN

[Taroxian]

So the Reapers are just a scrap heap.... hmm here you have it officially! =) Now where's the ME3, so I can back those words up with some scrapped Reapers!?

[fedner31]

Kristin Steimer is so sexy!

[SaintZ42]

release the demo. Everyone (apart for true fans) have seen it.

[eyeam19able]

i hate crap from bioware pulse. they almost never show anything substantial or just show 5 minutes of repeating video with slightly varied dialogue. I only watch them in the hope of finding a diamond in the rough.

[ChancellorRW]

BioWare! Stop taunting with this non-sense and hurry up with that damn game!

[redduck200]

Come back to IGN kristine- we miss you

[scruffums123]

I love these features on different aspects of Mass Effect 3's development, but do they really have to try and pretend we're watching the news?

[LuisManuelLealDias]

wtf is a "quantum tangent"? People are completely ignorant at physics and yet they pretend that X or Y is an "adequate" tech to speak in such and such contexts...

[MrFood11]

Dubstep

[THECHAOS111]

well, before someone removed my comment, i was saying yes, it would make sense they would communicate via quantum tangents as it would be the quickest way but they're still living (somewhat living) constructs, they likely have more than 1 communication method, that and shepard obviously can't understand it if a reaper tries talking to him via that method so they just talk to him in his language.

[TankBuster09]

Bioware I love you, but pulse seems to be a bit gimmicky.

[A1R3D3E7]

@TankBuster09 like the voice command system. hah ;D

[GuyWithPie00]

@TankBuster09 A bit? haha

[GoggleEyedHermit]

@TankBuster09 Not to mention all this social networking stuff.. I liked the way BioWare handled it's community earlier.

[x82ndODSTx]

Some of these sound like a Harvester from Terminator Salvation...

Anyone else hear the similarities?

[KingPatarXV]

STEIMER! :D we miss you at IGN

[DraskyVanderhoff]

Reapers should talk less -.- i don't see the point of talking when you can send information by quantum entaglenments !!!! GET THAT?!

[Jaaxfo]

@DraskyVanderhoff Increased bandwidth by using all available mediums, duh

[DraskyVanderhoff]

Can you please put just a very fan of ME to talk about the new stuff.. it would be better, she is really like "I NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM RIGHT NOW!"

[lordposeidon007]

Ujelly she knows/sees more or Mass Effect 3 than you ever will?

[LeathaFace17]

Damn she is a terrible host!

[greghannibal]

I have to admit, I've never liked robot villains, even in Terminator or the Matrix, it's hard to get pumped to fight a machine, even an evil machine, but man, the Reapers are SCARY. I will gladly throw myself at them to protect mankind!! (in game form, of course)

[levitan71]

gawd how shes self-promoting! >_<

[Homeprepping]

She's pretty, but her personality isn't up to this. Fire her, replace her with Jessica Alba. ;) Or Ugly Betty, she'd probably do a better job of putting out the message, and let's face it, there are a lot more Ugly Bettys than Jessica Albas playing ME.

[xXSyntaxErrorXx]

@0:57 Screw that, I have the full zip hoodie. Not that POS.

[ultrajd]

How in gods name are we going to fight a fleet of sentient starships?
