Get a Glimpse at BioWare's New Project

[ShadowsofHope]

Finally! A country specific link that actually works in Canada! Suck it, the-rest-of-you! [sub]I'm kidding[/sub]

..Doesn't say much anyways. Somewhat looks like a Commander Shepard, but who knows from 5 seconds of a non-coherent clip.

'Your pathetic, miserable country is not worthy of viewing our mindblowingly awesome trailer. Grovel for our amusement, pathetic worms!'

Thanks for the heads up, Bioware. Love you too.

EDIT - Geez, they don't call it a teaser trailer for nothing do they?!? I'd say that vid raises more questions than it answers, but it's piqued my curiosity enough so as I'll keep my eyes peeled. Pretty well judged trailer, in other words.

Also, this sniper looks bit like one from ME2.

Mass Gear Solid?

 

[Lizard_viking]

It will be a prequel to Mass effect and the plot will involve the taxation of trade routes.

You heard it here first folks!

 

[Andy Chalk]

Sorry guys, switched it up for the YouTube version. Everyone should be able to see it now.

I don't think it's Biowares fault for not being able to view it. It's Spike TVs. Like Adult Swim they dont seem to like letting people outside of America view stuff on the internet.

Considering they turned ME into an action game and Dragon age into a unbalanced simplified mess my care factor is over 9000.....

Oh yay. Another, probably good, game. I could do without that commentator.

So you care a lot?

If it's a "Military Shooter," color me a little bit bored. If we're talking a Military/War Based RPG, color me "interested". If we're talking a Military Horror RPG, Color me very excited.

Third-person cover-based space marine incoming!

...

Y'know, I would be interested to see what a company like Bioware would do with a shooter. I mean, an action game with Bioware-calibre writing? Fuck yes, sign me up. Come to think of it, ME2 was pretty much an action game. And it was awesome. So if they come up with more of that, then I will not be complaining.

PS. It's very grey.

 

[The Spectator]

Anyone else notice at the end of the movie it says 'Look closer'?

 

[Bobzer77]

I am guessing that it is Shattered Steel. This article seems to provide some interesting, slightly speculative, evidence to support my theory.

I was just about to link that xD

Update: The sharp eyes of commenter Arth Vader picked up that the gun in the pic is either the M-29 Incisor Sniper Rifle from the Mass Effect 2 Aegis Pack or a reused asset. If it is the M-29, it would imply the game will be Mass Effect related.

Update 2: EA stated last February that something "far-reaching" was coming to Mass Effect in EA's Q4 fiscal 2010, which is between January 1 and March 31 of 2011.

Update 3: Okay, now things are just getting nerdy. BioWare blasted out the adjacent QR code on Twitter which, when decoded, reads: 001101010011010100101110001110000011010000110101. When converted from binary (we told you: nerdy) it reads: 55.845. Of course, as everyone knows, 55.845 is the atomic mass of iron. Maybe the presence of the word "mass" in our findings isn't quite enough to go on, but we're sure you'll agree that the presence of the word "mass" coupled with a piece of fan fiction titled Mass Effect: Iron Rebirth is practically a smoking M-29 Incisor Sniper Rifle.

Update 4: And another QR code has been loosed upon the unsuspecting people of Twitter. This one translates into some binary which then translates into: 128.5°F. Converted to Celsius, that becomes -89.16666666666667 Celsius. "The coldest temperature ever recorded on earth is -89.2 degrees Celsius (-128.5 degrees Fahrenheit) at Vostok, Antarctica on July 21, 1983," says Wikipedia. This Mass Effect wiki page details Vostok, a "a medium system with four planets and an asteroid belt." The Soviet "Vostok Program" resulted in the first manned space flight. Oh, and that asteroid belt it mentions? The wiki page lists it as a "metal-rich asteroid." You know what else is metal? That's right, iron!
