Zubis said: Prequels can imply a lack of confidence in the future of a franchise (see Kingdom Hearts), so I really hope they aren't going down that route. There are a few exceptions - Halo Reach due to the transition of Bungie - that come to mind, but they're few and far between. Something "big" is being announced in the Mass Effect universe this weekend at Comic Con. Bioware's definition of big and mine seems to be quite different; I don't see anything other than DLC being announced. Unless of course they announce ME3: The Extended Director's Cut ;)
