EA had dropped numerous hints before Spike TV's Video Game Awards about what game they would be revealing during the show this past Saturday. It didn't come as much of a surprise to most that Mass Effect 3 was that game, but it didn't keep the goosebumps from surfacing.

 
Those of us watching were treated to a trailer depicting an English soldier sniping from Westminster Palace, while the landscape around him appeared devastated. The camera pans back, revealing the descent of several of the terror-inducing Reapers on to Earth while Commander Shepard plotted and schemed from his spaceship orbiting the planet. At the end of the trailer, we finally received the first indication of when we should expect to be playing Mass Effect 3 with a release time of "Holiday 2011."

Reapers in London... Looks a little different than Eden Prime, doesn't it?

 
Game director Casey Hudson has confirmed that Mass Effect 3 will complete the trilogy of games surrounding the Commander Shepard storyline. And just as Mass Effect 2's universe was affected by the player's outcome of the first Mass Effect title, Hudson has stated that decisions made in the first two games will also have a tangible effect on Mass Effect 3.
 
It doesn't look like any of the platforms will have to wait for the other this time around, as EA announced today that the PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 versions will all be released simultaneously. Previously, Mass Effect 2 had only been released on the PC and Xbox 360, with the Playstation 3 version set to release on January 18th, 2011.

Commander Shepard is probably feeling a bit "Renegade" here

 
So, start speculating! How much of a gameplay difference do you expect to see in the new one? What characters from the first two games are you looking forward to seeing again the most? What's #1 on your wishlist for Mass Effect 3?
 
While you are pondering these questions, feast your eyes on the trailer that aired during the VGAs:

    I'd obviously like to see a lot more characters other than the Illusive Man, Miranda and Kasumi who was only available through DLC. As for the story, I'll take whatever mess is waiting in it.

  • I had a feeling that MW3 trailer would show up before Christmas. I was right. It looks just perfect.

    @Buckley I don't expect anything from it. I know whatever will be there,going to be top class. Nothing beats ME series in gaming. Not even COD.

  • @Amaya Yeah chances are pretty darn good that we're gonna end up with a really high-quality game no matter what is or isn't different about it. I'm anxious for some details, though.



    @RON I gotta agree, wondering if Kasumi will be a bigger player in this one after having next to no existence in the previous game. I'd like to know more about her character, personally.
