New metagame trailer released here.
EDIT: Not sure what to think of it. A senate vote that affects gameplay, a president that gives you special abilities, and single-player missions that give you special items? Not to mention "daily quests," which seem like EVERY OTHER NEW GAME HAS. I dunno, I feel like it wasn't needed, and the coding could've been used somewhere else. I guess we'll see when we get the game.
So in other words they're doing what Heroes did - offloading all the responsibility for crappy yet integral decisions in direction to the player/fans so that they have plausible deniability if it blows up in their faces. Even better, with this, they're getting the initial surge of cash-flow of a new game in the franchise in exchange for possible license to completely ignore player feedback in future games, even in other IPs - after all, it worked out badly for this game, so they must know better. Those clever, clever programmers/writers. </cynicism>
I guess it could also work out well if they pick the options they give for patches carefully, to avoid destroying gameplay, and it's undoubtedly easier (if not better) than monitoring a suggestion forum with any regularity.
