I've rewatched this trailer several times now after reading your comments. I had to see these problems for myself. However, apart from some valid criticism of some of the animations, I was surprised to see that none of the other "problems" actually exist in this trailer.

What other way could they have demonstrated this was a Mass Effect title? Asari and Krogan are both staples of the franchise. Considering this is set 600 years after ME 3 there is not much else they can reuse besides familiar species and possibly some tech.

Also, BioWare has never been great with animations, but it looks like they got even worse with this game. The body movements are completely stilted and awkward. Lip synching is abysmal.

Animations honestly look no worse than previous BioWare titles. Could they have improved? Sure. Do they look worse? They look like BioWare animations. Like you said, it's BioWare.
As for the lip synching; are we still talking about this trailer? Because there is literally maybe a fraction of a second where you can see anyone directly using dialogue. The rest is narrated. And in that tiny instance the lip synching looks normal. I'm going to assume you are referring to other examples because this problem simply doesn't exist in this trailer.

The story is also more of the same: Look for this thing to save the universe while fighting these things that look like rejected Protheans. How original.

Again are we still talking about this launch trailer? Because in this trailer it specifically mentions that they are running out of resources and that they need a new "pathfinder". There is not one mention of finding any specific object to save the universe. Also, aside from some similar angles, the "baddy" in this trailer looks nothing like a Prothean.
So I gotta ask, where is all this criticism coming from? Because it cannot be from this specific trailer.
