EA teases new BioWare project [It's Mass Effect 3]

Company BioWare for the award VideoGameAwards showed a teaser in which we can see the first shots MassEffect 3

It's what they've already shown, I think they're guessing as much as we are but ME3 on PS3 is certainty now.

"For the VideoGameAwards, the company BioWare have shown a teaser in which we can see the first shots of MassEffect 3"
Perhaps not a spin-off? A multiplayer component by another team?

Or perhaps Playstation Russia has their facts mixed up.

Really, when ME2's not even out yet for PS3?

I don't see why that'd have any bearing on a ME3 announcement. If they end up showing it at the VGAs it'll likely be a brief teaser trailer, not a full reveal. Might even lure more PS3 owners into picking up ME2.

I dunno, I'd expect them to keep a lid on ME3 until PS3 owners have had a chance to pick up and play ME2. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely hope we'll be getting an announcement sooner rather than later, but it only seems logical.

I think that clue might mean this is actually SIS headquarters. Take special note of the fence at the bottom of the bridge.

It's the same fence and everything.

It's looking like an invasion of Earth Perhaps it started at that place in Antarctica and then the attack entered the major cities.

Not trying to sound condescending but those are the houses of Parliament. SIS is at Vauxhall Cross. Geth kidnappin' my MPs.
Whoops.

Fixed to something more general.

Sorry about that.

Now I don´t know what I want it to be.

Spin Off MP shooter sounds awesome, but Mass Effect 3 would be MASS EFFECT 3!

On the other hand we know that ME3 will come some day...

So... yeah... I want that spin off thing... probably.

Either way I'm happy, but I still really hope we get a Mass Effect FPS at some point as a spin off.
If so I hope Bioware isn't making it. Combat isn't exactly one of their strong points.

That's why BioWare Montreal makes a lot of sense. They're a new studio set up in a city that makes a ton of combat heavy shooters and we know they've been hiring people from studios like Raven.

If that's the case I don't see where this fits in the Mass Effect universe, unless they find some reaper in Antarctica and this takes place during the events of... Mass Effect 3? Nah.

If there's actually an invasion of Earth (and London specifically) I don't see this taking place during the First Contact War either. Maybe broheim in the trailer is just landing to board a space ship that'll bring him to <insert location here>.

Lakitu said:
Yeah... as far as I'm aware, there was no invasion of Earth at any point in the timeline.
Yeah if this is London, the game has to take place after Mass Effect 2.

He really does look like he was made in the same Dudebro Appeal Laboratory™ as the characters from Bad Company 2's multiplayer and Medal of Honor. :lol

With an armada of Reapers coming an invasion is very likely. Otherwise so is an Alliance vs Cerberus conflict.

Y'all just jealous of the hair.
 
The next plan by the Reapers is probably an invasion of Earth using an indoctrinated species. Really wouldn't surprise me if that were the premise for this game.

This would take place AFTER Mass Effect 2, of course. They probably want to get as much information on humans as possible. What better place to find information than the human homeworld?

I don't understand, did Nirolak really not recognise a picture of the House of Parliament? Even though he provide a picture of the actual SIS headquarters himself?

The screenshot does look a bit like the railings near Parliment, but isn't that irrelevant to the actual clue - which was about the SIS building?

The fence is in the second picture too no?

Let me remove the first one to remove confusion.

Okay, that works now. Previously it looked like you were zooming in on the bridge next to Big Ben.

In that case good, looks convincing.

So, if we assume it is set in the Mass Effect universe are there any major wars on Earth that have ever been mentioned? If aliens never invaded maybe the guy in the teaser is just fighting other humans?

Was there ever a World War III in the past or anything like that? (Played and liked the games but never read the info logs or whatever they were called.)

Ok, so I see it like that.

Some platoon in ME universe explores some planet and finds some artefact WHICH SENDS THEM BACK IN TIME on the Earth. The soldiers go crazy as a result and kill each other fast AND ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVES. He thinks he's THE CHOSEN ONE and immediately goes after the world domination by killing all world leaders including the Queen of England. Since Raven people are on the project the game will feature time-tricks as core gameplay features. The general concept is a contemporary-futuristic HITMAN clone.

If they were going to make a Hitman clone, wouldn't they just make Mass Effect: Thane?

No,
because he dies of the illness!
. Also he is already in works as DLC.

Possibly related to Kasumi? Her end mission spoilers below.

At the end of her mission, when she's linteracting with the graybox, Keiji tells her that he has information that, if made public, would have a severe impact on the Alliance. This is said while a bunch of slides showing a Reaper appear. The meaning of this is never elaborated or explained.

For that, BioWare would need to acknowledge the DLC even exists.

So, what are people betting on; reveal of Mass Effect 3, or BioWare Montreal's spin-off?

4. Like any good puzzle, we dont know for sure what these numbers toghether could mean. However, if we are to run with Mass Effect, it is interesting to note that in Mass Effect 2 there appears a planet called Aequitas. The official description of this planet has it's surface temperature as -89.1°C, which is approximately -128.5°F, Additionally, the planet is described as having 'famous Iron Canyons'. This planet, in Mass Effect, is the only obvious referencing of both of these clues.

There's a quest in ME2 on that planet that was never really explained very well. The last code they revealed doesn't really make sense to me though.

So, instead of KOTOR3, we get KOTOR the MMO. Instead of Dragon Age 2, we get Dragon Dynasty Warriors: Hit Button for Awesome. Instead of Mass Effect 3, we get Dark and Gritty Space Shoot Effect.

Bioware sucks.
 
This reminds me. After Mass Effect 3 they should make an Adventure game out of being a member of Citadel Security, solving crimes and mysteries on the Citadel. They always imply how big the Citadel is in the books and games but they should let us explore it as a Turrian or something. Blade Runner meets Hotel Dusk and Assassins Creed. I'd buy it so hard.

No, Illium would be better for this kind of game.
