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.
I'm the complete opposite on the Jack Wall issue. Jack Wall is a brilliant composer without a doubt and his electronic-epic compilations were brilliant (I know it wasn't him, but that Faunts song at the end of ME1 was fucking epic too), but I think Mansell is a great choice for a composer to go with this whole "epic ending" thing they're going for. They don't wanna be LOST. They want to go out with the truly incredible epic ending everyone who's followed this series is expecting. Not to mention, he's done an electronic/orchestral esque score for a movie already. He scored Moon, which had a few electronic elements in it.



Not to mention he created one of the most epic songs of all time:



I think he'll do a fantastic job.

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

And Kaidan's face doesn't look like its made of face either


Spoiler (highlight to read):
He's dead on my playthrough though, so I won't have to witness the abomination that is Kaidan not looking like an abomination.

I would kill them both off if I could. They are both so bland and annoying.

Kaiden was bland.

Ashley was less bland.

Jacob is the blandest motherfucker in the galaxy.

President, please!

Unfortunately, Jacob was also totally useless in combat. His role had "quota" written all over it.

Interesting video of the evolution of Garrus, and Turians in general, from ME1 concepts to ME3. Also, the difficulty of creating Tali's face is explained.

This year has too many fucking good games coming out. Mostly sequels, but that's the way things go nowadays.

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.
called it (then again I think most people did):

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.

It's been delayed until Q1 2012

I'm actually quite happy with the news, a couple of more months polishing would benifit the game.

EDIT: Beaten to it, I forgot to refresh

Delay it as long as needed. It should be good.

I hope they include a story this time .

ME3 was apparently delayed so that Bioware could adjust mechanics for 'larger market opportunity'

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.
I know that it's been confirmed that there will not be MP, but I still find this worrying, it reminded me of this DA2 article

Release date is March 6th next year. Looks pretty good. Hopefully EA doesn't take this one down.

There's also Kinect intergration, which I'm not that thrilled about, but at least we get some gameplay footage:
