Ashley looks like Rhona Mitra now. Too bad she died in my ME1 game.

I don't like that Jack Wall's been replaced. Mansell is a talented composer no question but Wall has created the sound of Mass Effect and anything different would be a real departure from the feeling of the game - which is a crappy thing to happen at the grand finale stage. Already there seems to be a lot of reworking, including even character redesign as shown by Ashley and Kaiden. I want BioWare to ensure that this is the finale to a great series, not a dramatic left turn in the final stages to try and do something different.

The reworking of RPG elements is probably a good thing. I've never been a fan of them but while ME1 was too much ME2 certainly had too little. ME3 will hopefully get the levels right.

A side note: Every time I see the "original" Shepherd I'm glad that you get the option of customising him.

Edit: Hey I just saw, my review of ME2 is the main one on IMDB. *sniff* I'm so proud.

Ashley doesn't look like her face is made of clay, and she probably won't have a lazy eye anymore.

Kaiden was bland.

Ashley was less bland.

Jacob is the blandest motherfucker in the galaxy.

tbh, I don´t think it comes this year though, I´d say early next year.

Agreed. I think a delay is pretty inevitable. It'd be less than 2 years since ME2 came out if it came out in November. I foresee a February release. Wouldn't bother me at all.

Remember the first trailer for Mass Effect 3? The one that teased us with a "Holiday 2011" release date? Consider it invalidated, as the game's executive producer scootches its release into early 2012.

When a trailer comes out more than a year in advance of a game's release, you can generally assume that the date listed at the end of it isn't going to be the same date on which you pick up the game at your local store. So you really shouldn't be too surprised that BioWare is rolling back the holiday 2011 release date for Mass Effect 3. You're free to feel a little disappointed, however.

The date slide came by way of a Message posted on the official Mass Effect 2 Facebook page.
Mass Effect 3 will be released in the first three months of 2012. The development team is laser focused on making sure Mass Effect 3 is the biggest, boldest and best game in the series, ensuring that it exceeds everyone's expectations." - Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mass Effect series.

That seems like a logical reason to move the date. I'd rather they spend a few extra months releasing a stellar title than slip it out early and start working on patches.

Mass Effect 2 was closer to what EA's targeting would seem to indicate more of an emphasis on action. But if the company's looking for "a larger market opportunity" a multiplayer component seems a surefire way to achieve that.
