So what we know
Imma just copy paste and comment in red.
Deeper RPG mechanics with an even more expansive skill tree. GOOD
Multiple good and bad endings affected by player actions and companion choice. DAMN RIGHT
Weapon mods change visual and operational characteristics. Weapons are accessible across all classes. Another good compromise.
Returning characters: Liara T'Soni, Kaidan Alenko and Ashley Williams. Well this is wrong. It's Kaidan OR Ashley and Garrus is confirmed.
Unconfirmed squad members: Garrus, Wrex, Mordin and Legion. Mordin better have a huge role god damnit.
James Sanders - a possible offspring of Mass Effect novel heroine Kahlee Sanders - can also apparently join your team. Not APPARENTLY. Whoever he is, he's confirmed too. God whoever wrote this is a MORON. Kahlee is NEVER said to have any offspring. A sibling maybe, but I can't remember. This is also confirmed to NOOOT be the sniper in the reveal trailer.
Game starts with Shepard on Earth, effectively on trial in regard to the events of Arrival, and in the middle of the trial, the Reapers invade. Prologue involves Shepard's escape to the Normandy, and off to start finding those allies, fighting Reaper troops (husks of all the different species) the whole way. A bit HOKEY, but this works for me. Mainly the husks element, they look varied and it gives us a good idea of the enemies you'll face. I like that idea. Reapers are too big to fight and it's hard to believe you'd be fighting random mercenaries or something.
Just like Mass Effect 2 (PS3), ME3 has an interactive digital comic as a prelude to the story and to record pivotal series decisions for a player starting from scratch. mite b cool.
The Illusive Man also plays a prominent role, and Cerberus is out to kill Shepard. Reason why is unknown at this point. Kind of weird. They should let you defeat the Reapers and then hunt down the Illusive Man JUST like the Shadow Broker!

Cerberus is after you by default? WELL SHIT, NO YA DON'T.
What about for all those goomers who saved the base? The Illusive Man should be all over their nut sacks.
It'd make more sense to swing it one way or another, depending on what you did with the base. I mean, it was pretty obvious the Illusive Man was going to turn on you, but why now?
As far as enemies, Husks are a given. Maybe some more Geth worshipping Harbinger? Mercenaries would be dumb. What, Harbinger made a few pit stops along the way to our galaxy and asked for some aliens with attitudes?

Assuming that's Kaidan in the shot Jay posted above, he's wearing some strange looking armor. Both him and Ashley are a lot different looking. Almost SPECTRE-ESQUE!?

Another snippet of info from the guy who took the pictures.
Only other thing I realized I left out is that they watched a video of a segment involve a krogan vehicle train with Shepard riding along, and as it goes a Reaper comes down from the sky to attack. Shepard's vehicle is destoryed, and fighting the thing is impossible on foot. Then a Thresher Maw comes out of the ground and attacks the Reaper. The Thresher gets the upper hand by coiling itself around the Reaper, then drags it underground.
This is fucking retarded, yet awesome at the same time.

Good. The Suicide Mission was basically the cornerstone of the marketing for ME2, so they had to divulge a lot of deets.
Let's just give periphery details (gameplay, basic story) for 3 and just agree that "STOP THE REAPERS" is the goal.
Make some more kickass trailers and I'll be happeh.

This also kinda sorta confirms what people were thinking about ME2 DLC. Most people thought it was testing a few assets for ME3 (gameplay for some things like the Mattock AR pictured above or for the reaction to aesthetic changes like the new Liara look)
