EA has announced that the Mass Effect trilogy will come to an end on March 6, 2012.

Mass Effect 3 is scheduled to arrive for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 next year. Commander Shepard and his merry band of world-savers will combat the reapers in the upcoming game, putting to an end a war that gamers were first introduced to in 2007.

Earlier today, BioWare revealed that the Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect 3 will have exclusive voice recognition features using the Kinect peripheral.

      It's a decision that reeks of Microsoft paying off EA and or Bioware or lazy programmers. A headset can just as easily do the Vocal commands thing. you don't need Kinect for that.

        Everything related to Microsoft always smells like massive payoffs to gamers. It's a way of life.

    I doubt it's the last Mass Effect game. Just this storyline.

      You can have fun with the IP with some genre shifting. I'd probably play a straight up FPS as a SPECTER agent. Other action games in the vein of would probably work as well. It's a smart cool universe. Hell, I'd even be up for a sandbox title based on the Mass Effect IP that lets me fly around to different planets, bases, and outposts so I could either follow a main story line, do some goofy side quests, or just walk around fucking shit up.

    I'm spent!
    
    Thinking about ME3 gives me worry, ME2's dlc approached gouging levels. Some was the best DLC ever released then you had the horse armor.
    
    With EA's "origin" system, i hope they don't force exclusivity of digital downloads/dlc/pre-order items. But who am i kidding some of that will happen and it'll probably be worse than ME2
    
    Bioware, you should of never sold.

    I don't know about a tool, but there are two sites that users upload saves to for both games. You might be able to find one with the choices you've made.

      Argh, refresh.
      
      If you buy ME2 PC on the cheap, there is a tool that will let you edit your ME2 savegame, including flags pulled across from ME1.

  I'm still scared after what Bioware did to DA2. I'm pre-ordering nupin from Bioware ever again after the DA2 heartbreak. I'm taking this game on with babysteps.

  I hope they bring back planet exploration. Riding that tank thing up mountains was fun. Next time they should have enemies that chase you as your mountain-hopping in low grav. That would be fun.

  Watching the video just made me feel like it's going even further towards Gears of War combat...
  
  but at least we should get some story, compared to whatever you want to call 2.
