Sort of like how in other games that are "episodic" or going for that style, they'll show brief clips to get you up to speed. I would love if the new Mass Effect had something along those lines except custom built to show the important or relevant choices you've made in previous games.

This is mostly because I've played the games multiple times and also, it's been a long time since I've played them. I don't remember off-hand which characters I made what choices with. That, and I think it'd be pretty snazzy if done right. Just sayin.

You have four months to go replay the games. Do it.

@LiquidPrince: Haha, if only I had the time =P Also, I don't think I could stomach replaying ME1. Not even on easy just to get the story beats. . .

Oh come on, I played through ME1 less then a year ago, and it was still freaking fantastic. Do it!

Or you can play on PS3, and that version gives you a recap comic at the beginning, which also lets you choose the major choices from ME1. Actually, they may have added that to the 360 version as well.

This thread is now over.

Ancient Aliens.

Also here's the PS3 comic

There most likely will be some form of franchise wrap up before ME3, Bioware seems dead set on making the ME games 'easy to jump into'... kinda working directly against one of the unique features of the series, that events carry on from game to game in such a novel way.
