Good, Q4 is way too awesome as it is.

If the game lives up to what it's been building to take as long as they need.

I'm actually stoked about this; I want to finish ME2 at least twice more before 3 comes out, and also Q4 is all about Uncharted 3 for me.

Seems to be the general consensus.
I'm happy to wait too.

Shigeru Miyamoto once said "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever", and it couldn't be more true. If a game needs more time, it should be given more time, because it's the only way it will be the best it can be. Rushing does nobody any favours.
On the other hand, EA had the following to say about the delay and game:
"One of the things that Ray Muzyuka and the team up in Edmonton have done is essentially step-by-step adjust the gameplay mechanics and some of the features that you'll see at E3 to put this in a genre equivalent to shooter-meets-RPG, and essentially address a much larger market opportunity than Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 began to approach.
"We're huge believers in the IP and are purposefully shifting it to address a larger market opportunity."
Mass Effect 3 will be good, great even. I know I'll like it. But man, do comments like that worry me. ME2 is really not much of an RPG at all, and stipping back more will just make it less so.
Its amazing that BioWare were once responsible for Baldur's Gate.

^I heard the delay is due to Kinect and Move support

So it's now first person to add iron-sights that the CoD crowd says every game needs? =D

Is that Kaiden in the 2nd shot? Kinda looks like him. If it is, I thought Ashley was considered canon.
Doesn't matter to me, I liked him far more than Ashley anyway (not that the humans in both games were interesting in the first place).

It definitely looks like Kaiden, which is an odd choice for a promo image as he is a 'variable' character if you know what I mean.
It could also possibly be the new character that has been mentioned - James Sanders.

It's Kaiden. Him or Ashley will appear depending who you nuked at Virmire.
