Default Prime's Charles Battersby writes: "Mass Effect 3 is almost here and soon Commander Shepard will complete Bioware’s space opera. But before we rush through the game to see just how Shepard will save humanity from the Reapers, we should stop and take a look back at just how far she has come in the four years since she first showed up on the Xbox. Normally on The Backlog I try out a game that I never played, but I actually played the hell out of Mass Effect back when it hit PC in 2008. Unfortunately, I played it on a computer that had the exact minimum tech specs needed to run the game. While I enjoyed the story, I do remember it as a fuzzy, grainy, blurry experience. Now, several Graphics Cards later, with both of the DLC packs installed, I can have a proper look at the humble beginnings of Commander Shepard."
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.

I'm attempting a marathon playthrough of ME1 and ME2 before 3 arrives. I've previously completed both multiple times, but I want to refine my Femshep for the final showdown with the Reapers. :)
