About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 6618 DaysStrange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime.
Since 6873 DaysPossibly the Terminus Systems, or Unknown, I'm thinking dark space, directly after you-know-who?
Quote: where you must uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of humans across many worlds.
This sticks out quite a bit to me - it either means humans are disappearing from their own colonies or humans beyond the colonies are being abducted. If the former, it could be Cerberus; if the latter it could be the Batarians.
Quote: Prepare yourself for a suicide mission to save mankind. Travel the galaxy to assemble a team of soldiers and combat specialists, and launch an all-out assault on the heart of enemy territory.
The implication here is that the enemy has a territory to invade - that leads me to think it's something to do with either the Geth or the Batarians. Maybe 'Bring Down the Sky' had more to do with ME2 than anybody thought?
For me its all very interesting.
As for the above thats very interesting indeed, but i would not put too much stock into what EB Games have posted yet, but here is some more tipbits to get your teeth into (oh and btw ME1 had some of the best story writing in a game period).
From the short documentary included with the "Platinum Hits" edition of Mass Effect,
"In the second game, you're actually gonna go through a darker period where you're really looking for answers," Project Director Casey Hudson said in The Future of Mass Effect video. "It's a lot harder to find what the realities are, and there are a lot of twists and turns and it's generally a much darker experience."
"What we want to do with Mass Effect is look at universal themes, themes that apply to somebody in the future, in the past, in our present, contemporary themes," added Lead Writer Drew Karpyshyn. "So as we've explored in Mass Effect 1, we had things like love lost, consequences, choice, does the end justify the means, morality in a general sense. We're obviously going to continue with those kinds of themes."
"We've been very conscious of the ability of players to make choices, and we understand that if those choices don't have consequences that carry on through the trilogy, there is no point in making them," he continued. "That obviously has painted us into a difficult position, because we have multiple threads, multiple endings, certain characters may or may not be alive. It's created extra work for us, but we felt it was really necessary to capture what we were going for in Mass Effect." As a result, BioWare is creating "alternate version of all sorts of scenarios" to accommodate the various possible outcomes in Mass Effect which will dramatically affect the way the game unfolds.

Since 6873 DaysThe team will be roughly 30 strong and about half of those people will be brought in from the existing BioWare Edmonton team. GameDaily notes that some of these people worked on the original Mass Effect. The rest will be new hires.
"We're really excited about it, and we think it's going to be a huge opportunity to tap into the talent base in Montreal while supplementing our existing teams in Edmonton and Austin, which are doing some great stuff on all the other projects BioWare's working on," Ray Muzyka, co-founder of BioWare told GameDaily.
Muzyka also noted that BioWare has a couple secret projects to announce at a later date. You don't say?

if disc space IS an issue where the random planets are concerned, then i'd rather the additional random planets not be there at all, and instead increase the amount of quests to do between each "fully" fleshed out world, like the citidel etc. cos even some of the "propper" planet locations didnt really have much side stuff to do on them outside of progressing the story.
theres a lot the sequel can improve on. but the foundation is so solid that i cant imagine them screwing it up.
