New BioWare Clue Seems Fishy

[Gethsemani_v1legacy]

Isn't it obvious? This clue is a shout out to every BioWare game-plot to date and they are saying that they will keep doing their usual "twist" in whatever the new game is.

 

[Tom Phoenix]

Nice one, Bioware. It reminds me of a scene from Naked Gun:

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Do we get the fish as a weapon? If so, I'd probably try it just for that...

 

[Brotherofwill]

Mmmmmhmmm.

Temperature, the Clash, secret service and the search for a fish...

I got it! I think their game is going to be about the meaning of life!!!

 

[spartandude]

the red herring has done its duty

 

[Quartermaine]

Red herring goes into the fish tank of the Normandy.

Yet another clue hinting towards Mass Effect 3!

 

[WanderingFool]

I'm tempted to call this a double bluff.

They know people will assume that with a red herring they're trying to lead them astray, so will put a lot of thought into it, when instead it really is a red herring. Which is why this is in fact a perfect red herring, because it's being attributed more importance than it has, something which a red herring does, and yet has no significance.

They are lampshading the entire process and form of red herrings for all time. This is the best clue yet, and it isn't even a clue. This is also the best example of a red herring ever, because it uses the fact that it is a red herring to make people suspect it isn't.

That's my guess.

Deep...

Anyways, Im not sure what to make of it, but if I had to venture a guess, I would say its meant to distract people, kind of a...

*points over to the left at nothing and yells DISTRACTION!*

 

[Duruznik]

So, the question is: Is this red herring a red herring, does it signify a red harring, or is it merely a red herring?

Ow, my head.

My head hurts too, because you spelled herring wrong.

Ahh, see, that was a red herring in itself, meant to distract you! >.>

(From what, I am not sure)

 

[CharacterizationFail]

The first thing I think when the words "Bioware" and "Fish" come up together is of that quest to get a fish for a Krogan in ME2. So I'm going to let myself stay convinced it's hinting at ME3!

Seriously though, just the fact that they put up a literal red herring is pretty damn amusing.

 

[Jake the Snake]

Damn you Bioware! Stop teasing me...

If it were Mass Effect 3, why make such a big fuss over it. Everyone knows that it's on it's way. I will be dissapointed if it is ME3....

I'll disappointed if it IS ME3. I want them to take their time with ME3, we all know it exists, so why waste time announcing it so quickly? If this game is slated for a release before 2012 roles around, I might be concerned. They have a lot of stuff to cover for ME3, and if they're already on the precipice of announcing it, that signals to me that their rushing it. Mass Effect 2 hasn't even been out a full year yet.

And I have a pretty good feeling it isn't ME3 anyway. This just doesn't feel....Mass Effectish...if that makes sense.

You do know that they said ME3 would take less time to make than ME2 right? Because the fans reacted so well to the new interface in ME2, they don't have to redo again for ME3. Hence, it will be out sooner.

 

[Sronpop]

If it is Mass Effect 3, I can't really be more excited about it. But I already know its coming, whether the reveal is this week or in 6 months it doesn't really matter. I am expecting it Q1 or Q2 in 2012. What will surprise me is if its given a release date before next Xmas, or if its a completely new IP.

If it is a new IP then I will be ecstatic as I am a big Bioware fan and more Bioware games is only a good thing.

But yeah I know Mass Effect 3 is coming so its gonna be pretty hard to tease me for it.

 

[Krantos]

I'm guessing it means the British Intelligence clue was a red herring. The other Clues all pointed to ME3, so...

Though, even the MI6 could have been a really bad clue to ME3. After all MI6 - ME3. You get the idea.

 

[Doclector]

See, the first clue has me hoping for something with the atmosphere of lost planet 1...

I'm gonna be kind of disapointed if it is mass effect 3. So much hype about something which kind of would make it's own hype, why would they bother? Besides, the first trailer kind of suggested a new IP, that and the soldier in the first vid's gun and armour really doesn't look all that space aged. Looks more like near future to me.

 

[Daipire]

Well, unless the letters "VCOU" or "VEOU" mean anything to anyone, this is indeed just a red herring in every sense. I ran it over with Photoshop for a bit and that's all I could find. The lighter-colored scales on the upper part of the fish are what spell out the letters. I filled them in with this picture:

(Yea that's how much I care about the stuff Bioware does. )

Does Veos hold any significance with you?
Because that's what I saw...


OT: I don't even like Bioware and this is stuck on my mind...

 

[Alkore]

Maybe they are trying to say that what the russian twitter said was in fact false and meant to lead us all astray?

 

[NLS]

Or maybe The Red Herring aka the COD Killer is on the loose again?

But isn't that post exactly what they want, people spending thoughts on it? coming full circle again.

 

[Solstrana91]

So...the clash? And Iron?
Iron, big things, like a titan?
Clash of the Titans?
...Who wield fish?

 

[OreoDoublestuff]

Perhaps they're indicating the price of the mystery game. They may be saying the game won't cost much, or, dare I say, be cheep.

 

[Voodoomancer]

I'm going to go with all of the clues being red herrings (figurative and literal) and the new game being something completely different and unexpected.
