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

Actually just saw the comparison with the Incisor rifle. Could be Mass Effect related then. Less than a month to wait.

Disappointment total

The only thing that implies it could be based in the Mass Effect universe is the gun, and as mentioned before here, that could be a simple re-use of assets. I think I'll keep my mind open at this point, but a game based on the First Contact War would be pretty sweet.

It's Mass Effect 3. It's Earth.

Earth? Who the fuck wants Earth? You have a universe full of possibilities and people want to go to Earth? Fuck that shit.

Yeah I know, it's going to happen. :(

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Trailer flashes up with 'Look Closer' at the end.

Well, if it's a FPS spinoff trying to appeal to a different crowd, then Earth makes perfect sense. Sci-fi is for lame nerds, didn't you hear?

I really don't know what to make of that shot.

Its a bridge or path leading through an opening of an area surrounded by a fence. You can also see the green grass, and some big grey thing out the front of the window.

Probably a spaceship.

Reapers are disguised as butterflys.

Yeah, I mean - I don't know if it's just futuristic, or Mass Effect-futuristic. I think it's a spaceship too.

I'm gonna guess it's Mass Effect: First Contact, spin off prequel with multiplayer.

Maybe they have decided to make Mass Effect 3 an RPG?

And this a ME shooter for those fans?
After being disappointed with the Mass Effect 2 shooter they made, I really think an RPG set in that universe would work.

If it has multiplayer, and if it isn't Mass Effect 3, I'm going to be incredibly disappointed. Mass Effect is probably my favorite universe right now, and after muddying it in two, I don't think I can take much more shit.

The incisor sniper rifle is supposed to be a new weapon in the ME2 time frame so I don't know if will be a prequel.
it wouldnt be the first time they retconned the gun tech

Looks like a bridge at the top and a ship at the bottom, and its white, which suggests Normandy, isn't it White in ME2?

Tis, but I dont think that unidentifiable mass of grey resembles any part of the Normandy. For me, the prequel thing comes from the comparitively low-tech look of the soldier's armor. Then again, it might be at home with the current Mass Effect tech, so it might be ME3. I would think BioWare would hold off announcing ME3 until ME3 is out in the wild though.

The fact the trailer says "Look Closer" quickly at the end to me implies there's either something we're missing, or the Incisor Rifle clue is deliberate.

I can't see the video right now but judging from that screenshot it may be a Geth dropship.

that teaser closely reminds me of those Halo Wars cinematics. same studio, I presume. This is probably Mass Effect, but their artstyle gone grittier and less flashy. Atleast for the teaser.

If it is some sort of spinoff shooter I can see something like

Mass Effect: First Contact War

or some other major battle that didn't involve Shepard (I doubt it'd be like, the Blitz or something, since Shepard can be a survivor of that)

Converted to ascii that's "55.845"

That is, the string "55.845", not the number, so there's very little chance it's not supposed to be ascii, since every character is a number.

55.845 is the atomic mass of iron.
