For new players, there'll be an experience similar to the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2. "It might not be comic style, but we'll do something to recap the story," said Hudson. "It's essentially a really fancy save game generator." For loyal fans who have played the series from beginning to end, the team says they have a "big spreadsheet" of all the possible choices Shepard may have made from Mass Effect 1 and 2, and that they are keen to continue the idea that "there is no canon except for what the player has chosen."

Looks like BioWare is trying its best to make Mass Effect 3 the best possible entry in the series. Hopefully the fact the game has been will give them the time to make it as close to perfection as the series finale deserves.
