Mass Effect 4 Gameplay Preview

Through much legwork, lots of hacking work, and some reach-around work, I've come into possession of information not yet seen anywhere outside of Bioware software. Prepare to be blown away. Set your erect computer-gaming nipples to stun, because by clicking on the newly-discovered logo below you'll find an interactive demo of the first 20 minutes of gameplay in Mass Effect 4!

Returning to their Mass Effect 2 roots, the developers chose to weed out non-hardcore gamers by making commander Shepard forced to spend roughly the first half hour of the game checking his email that he got since the end of the last game. Apparently, the game doesn't let you continue the storyline until your unread email count is zero. Should be pretty fucking awesome.
