Okay. Developers are starting to get on my nerves a little bit. Mass Effect 2 isn't going to be released for another week, and Bioware is already putting together Mass Effect 3. I know it's supposed to be a trilogy, but shouldn't Bioware really wait to count their chickens until the hatch? The last thing we need is for another game to be shoved together after its known the franchise is dying...I'm already afraid of it with Reach, and I'd rather not see it happen to Mass Effect...

" it's supposed to be a trilogy "

From the moment they announced the first mass effect, they said that Shepard narrative would be a trilogy exclusive to the pc and xbox 360. They would be doing the series a service to get this game out in a year and a half to finish off this arc.
 
Noticed you mentioned you knew it was a trilogy. Just because they are talking about getting hte third one to get it out as soon as possible, does not mean they are milking hte sereis

Well this isn't that uncommon of a practice, especially at a big studio or one of it's subsidiaries. We knew it was going to be a trilogy and we knew there would be another game after this one. Would you rather they do like Valve has done with Half Life 2 Episode 3? Personally, I'm happy to know that ME 3 is in the early stages of it's development, because it tells me they are working on something. Also, it means that maybe the wait between 2 and 3 won't be as long as the wait between 1 and 2 has been.

Developers tend to work on games wayy before they're "officially" announced. It's not uncommon for work to being on a sequel to a game that's either just hit the market, or isn't finished yet.

I'm sorry...but are you dumb? Developers almost always start the next game in a series before the last one is released...

Yeah plus they KNOW enough people who bought the first will buy the second, and a portion of those will buy the third.  
 
Also yeah how is it dying? We haven't seen any sales of any ME products other than the first game. If this game bombs, then yes. But I can't see that happening.

Yeah, and also...how is it dying...

Didn't Bioware started talking about Mass Effect 2 not long after the first one came out. i say that because I remember reading about the save file transfer thingy not long after I played it. 

I say bring on mass effect 3 as fast as possible.

" I say bring on mass effect 3 as fast as possible. "

They are only in the planning stages at the moment for the third game.

the OP is saying this like they just have to "put it together" and it will magically be out next month.
 
of course they're working on it man.
 
also lol @ that article mentioning left 4 dead, which was a completely different situation
