I expect they'll keep a couple of characters around, and ditch a couple characters. Bye bye Ashley and Kaiden. They will probably keep Wrex and Liara, if not all four aliens, and add a Salarian to the mix. That said, it wouldn't bother me if they mostly ditched the existing characters and let you embark with a new cast. I mostly liked the characters from the first game, but change isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I don't see why they would avoid a PS3 release simply because the first game didn't get one. EA isn't going to let something as small as that stop them from releasing on PS3, especially when you look around and see that Mass Effect is one of the handful of titles that people with only a PS3 consistently list as something they want to play.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The characters were vanilla and interchangeable during post-introduction story scenes for the most part, and had actual personalities when you talked to them in the Normandy. This is pretty consistent with Bioware's previous games. I'm not sure why you would expect anything different, at least until they actually deliver something different. I still think that at its core, it was a very good game, and if Bioware can improve on the rest, to the point where all the non-plot planetary bases aren't identical, to where it matters which supporting characters you have in your party during story scenes, to where 75% of the game is actual game, rather than 75% of the game being sidequests, to where the Mako doesn't exist, to where textures load sometime before the end credits roll, to where I can have a lightsabre to where your actions matter slightly more than just "oops killed or was mean to that guy, so this sidequest doesn't open", it could be an outstanding game. Sure, some of those points are easier said that done, but just because something is difficult doesn't mean they shouldn't make an effort.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Oh nice, maybe once this patch is out, my idiot friends will go back to CoD4 so I won't have to play CoD:WaWateredDown anymore.

Two years ago they showed their Jack Bauer Sam Fisher hiding in plain sight stealth Splinter Cell that looked hilariously bad, then like you said, it fell off the face of the earth. Hopefully they've spent the last couple of years ditching that idea and making something that isn't retarded.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah, that's the one. Nothing says stealth like a guy walking through a crowded park in the middle of the day.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I guess I can continue holding out on buying it until the Game of the Year Edition hits, since the regular version is still full price.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Correction.

No one buys Wii games because they don't exist.
An invisible space wizard, a PS3 game, and a Wii game walk into a bar...

Doesn't help that Nintendo only releases a good game on Virtual Console every quarter century.

looking forward to this post being quoted and fixed
This post is correct in every way.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I really don't think Sony cares whether their controller is a good fit for Dreamcast games or not.

How ya doing, buddy?

Sega: "Hey Microsoft, we will let you put our Dreamcast games up for download on Live for a million dollars, you interested?"

Microsoft: "lol dreamcast. I think you should leave before I call security."

later that day

Sega: "Hey Sony, we'll let you put our Dreamcast games up for download on PSN for a million dollars. You better decide soon though, we actually just came from Microsoft's offices earlier this morning. They seemed pretty interested, but you know how slowly things work their way through management there."

Sony: "WE'LL DO IT RIGHT NOW BUT YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFFER OFF TABLE FOR MICROSOFT!!!"

Sega: "My boss isn't going to like this, but for you, I think we have a deal."
