Something that pic made me notice. Look at his clothes, they have that "futuristic hexagon" style like Miranda's digs have.spectrenihlus said:I still think it is a Mass Effect spin off
Yes I got it from Kotaku
Just sayin'. Something else I noticed.
I;m hoping for spinoff the more games set in the Mass Effect universe the better. Hell I would even enjoy a sky car racing game set in the Mass Effect universe. Imagine racing through the Citadel in a customized sky car fighting your way to first place. Doesn't have to be a full game could be a down-loadable arcade title.I_am_a_Spoon said:
good point there I forgot about that. Actually the first thing I thought when I saw that suit was Shadow Complex.Ruzzian Roulette said:Something that pic made me notice.

Things that are sure:
-This is not ME3, because Shep is officially confirmed to be the hero there.
-This is set in Mass Effect universe, as indicated by Incisor and the look of armor.
It is very likely that it'll be multiplayer-oriented game, with short singleplayer story - BioWare likes to expand it's franchises with smaller games, as shown by Dragon Age: Awakening, and recent popularity of games like Black Ops (which, on the other hand, are set in lately overused present(kinda) times) suggests that BW may want to join very profitable multiplayer shooters market.

Well, after one hour travelling the internet for news about this announcement, I have the following conclusions, at least what I think this is and this isn't:
- This is not Mass Effect 3.
- This is not PS3 exclusive.
- This is not what BioWare has us getting used to do (RPG's and such).
- This is going to be a straight shooter game, and BioWare will use it to improve the gameplay on Mass Effect 3.
- It's also going to be a way to reach other genres and see if they can expand their market.
I really was upset when somebody told me that EA screwed up and made Mass Effect 3 exclusive to the PS3. If anything, BioWare is doing everything in their hands to keep the trilogy consistent in both the PS3 and the 360.

Good Man! Seeing you're avatar, I'm not surprised you spotted this.Fiend Dragon said:That image is all the proof that I need. It is almost certainly related to Mass Effect. That short little clip probably took a fairly significant amount of effort to put together, and (I hope) Bioware is not so lazy as to reuse a design that would still require them to remodel the weapon entirely.Andy Chalk said:BioWare Drops Another Hint
BioWare [http://www.bioware.com] has let slip another hint about its secret new project and this one leads somewhere that you probably weren't expecting.
This my friends, is VERY clearly an Incisor Sniper Rifle, and it is a weapon in Mass Effect 2.
YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH
Whether it's Mass Effect 3, or 'N7 Code of Honor: Medal of Duty', I care not, I will be greatly excited.

<3 GarrusThanks, Mass Effect is one of favorite universes and I make sure to keep track of everything new. It's especially relevant because I always make sure Garrus and I role with the Incisor. It's just such an awesome weapon.

OOH! I know! Cold, Iron, British Spies... Cold Iron bypasses DR for creatures with the Fey type... It's a game where James Bond fights magic fairies!
Oh Bioware, you coy little *****.
I'm not a massive fan though, so my response will range from a shrug to raised eyebrows.

"No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die."
This is just a theory, but seeing as this seems to be a theory-thread... The atomic mass of iron has another meaning to anyone who's studied stellar dynamics before. Iron is the element that marks the transition between fusion reactions and fission reactions (ie. where it becomes more energy efficient to split atoms rather than fuse them).
Point is, is that iron is the last element produced by a star before it goes supernova. I think this might tie this announcement to ME2 because if you'll remember Haestrom (the place where you pick up Tali), the sun there was going nova... And the dialogue indicated that this was both not natural and of great concern to both the geth and the quarians.
As for the SIS and Vostok clues, might indicate that some of the action happens on Earth. But as we've seen in the past from Bioware, their teasers can be misleading, so anyone's guess is probably valid for the moment.

Can I just point out that in the Mass Effect universe the European Union is one of the three superpowers on the globe? It also has an uneasy relationship with the North American Union and the People's Republic of China.

"Known human governments on Earth include the United North American States, the European Union, and the Chinese People's Federation. "
Also, I've been lead to believe a British guy is the president of the EU in the ME Universe.
