In the latest Mass Effect blog update Casey Hudson, Project Director of BioWare talks about how difficult their situation was at E3, because they wanted to show a deeper look on the game without spoiling it:
"We've had a lot of great feedback from this year's E3 demo, but it was a long and treacherous road to get there. As E3 approached this year, we realized that we had a problem. We've talked about how "Mass Effect" puts you in control of emotionally-charged decisions that have a huge impact on the game world and the way you experience the story. But we realized that it was time to show a deeper look at what we meant by that. However, all of those situations in the game are, by definition, major spoilers. How would we show these amazing moments without giving away something that players would want to discover on their own?"
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.

hmm. 40+ comments only 80?
I think Mass Effect is gonna WOW us all. The game is just a great all around made game. I still have yet to see any flaws or drawbacks in the game. Even talking in the game looks interesting and fun.
Name how many games that can boast that one.
can I please play this game already? The anticipation is killing me. Thank goodness there's Bioshock and Halo 3 to tide me over.
I'm so hyped about this game. Ehhmmm, i mean I like what I see and I'll be buying^^
Everytime they release new screenshots they just look better and better. The lighting is much improved as is the facial textures.
Can't wait to play it.
