Oh yeah - I don't want to see Cerberus AT ALL in the next game.
I'm confused how new ancient and powerful races can be introduced if it's set during the trilogy - surely they would have made themselves known by the end of ME3?
I only read a few things on the BW forums, so don't take my word for it - different reports show it's likely to be during Shepard's lifetime, so I guess there's still a chance it could be set in the far future after ME3?
Either way, the main plot could be a mess.

I wouldn't be, that whole during the trilogy thing has pretty much come from one person who was at CDCC, & BSN being BSN, have taken it, decided it's gospel, & promptly ran with it.

The galaxy went in cycles of the most powerful race getting destroyed every few thousand years so there is probably still a few we haven't heard about. I'm not sure about it being set during the trilogy either, I think they need a whole new story.

IIRC, the Batarians were quite militant during this time.
You'd also have a load of small factions trying to sieze power or something, because that is what some people still do when there's a war on.
Maybe you're an Intelligence Agent, trying to sneak in somewhere and capture info on some other aspect of the war. There were many other people and many other ships in all that. Shepard's lot was just one small corner.

Well for one would not mind a game where you play garrus going against those merc groups on omega lol
Bioware- The main character won't just be 'Shepard 2.0'
First Promo- Faceless character in N7 armour. Game set during Shepard's lifetime.
Heard rumours it might be set during Shep's 2 year absence. Whatever they do, it isn't looking good atm....as has been said numerous times over the last few years, the series is dead if they don't fix the ending, and they haven't done that.
Every race deemed to be advanced enough(Pretty much space-flight capable), every 50,000 or so. Humans were around for the last invasion, but were deemed by the Reapers to be not advanced enough so were left alone.

I'm sure they said it would be a new Galaxy.
To be honest, in the 2 years that Shepherd was 'dead' the Reapers were not considered a serious threat by most of the Galaxy as the council told everyone that Sovereign was a Geth ship. And even when Shepherd was resurrected by the Lazarus project, hardly anyone believed the Collectors and Reapers were connected in any way.
So if it was set then, it could work fine.

I can see as some sort of special N7 team sent through some prototype mass relay that is able to send them to another galaxy (pretty much like Stargate Atlantis or something) - maybe with a task of exploring and finding new life and new civilisations or something.
Only question then would be what about existing races - how much will we see of krogan, quarians, turians, geth, asari... (nevermind hanar, volus and elcor).
Not sure if it would be in another galaxy because of this, but still hope it is.

Other sources are suggesting another soldier who has something to do with N7, so that should clear things up a bit.

Maybe it's a former N7 agent who is covertly working with Cerberus to save mankind fro..... oh nevermind

San Diego Comic Con Mass Effect panel, I suggest watching with headphones on cos the audio is non to good.
Re: The graphics, I have enjoyed it and don't think they're bad, but do think they could do with a bit of a revamp. In particular the pre-rendered cutscenes were very noticeably both low quality and 30fps.... Plus it was so disappointing for me to see how low-resolution the Normandy model was, despite being such an important (and what should have been a really sexy) ship. But overall, I'm impressed with how good it looks for how little GPU horsepower it requires. I've definitely seen far worse looking games that use a lot more GPU power.

Thankfully more coverage has surfaced now & the question & answer session has been transcribed.

Well, let's hope they don't attempt to push out identical graphics yet again! In this regard (and especially in combination with what some called a lacklustre story) you can definitely see the argument for ME3 being a quick cashgrab.
