Shepard goes back in time to Thedas...

[MisterDyslexo]

For some reason this just strikes me as being like the Resistance series. He's in a desolate building (the windows are barred, so maybe a prison?), he has a wounded leg with a very basic fix, he appears a bit panicked in the beginning. So yeah, my mind just goes to Shanxi. Or it could be a reaper-invasion situation. If its multiplayer, the braindead morons who buy it wont care any more or less, but it would give us something to look foward to in ME3. Still, its possible Bioware is just using these models to throw us all off in this wild speculation. Shattered Steel was set in modern times, and that set-up could just be a teaser thing *finger-crossed its not ME related*

And when it comes to multi-plyaer possibilities, I remember reading something about Bioware requesting people to work on something multiplayer a while back. Everybody assumed it was mass effect, maybe because they said it was, its a little fuzzy. If it is a multi-player focused game, I wouldn't worry, because Bioware will still just make it awesome. And if its Mass Effect related, that could draw in a lot of potential buyers for ME3. Imagine if somebody released a Call of Duty RPG game right now, how many people would get it? Building up a name for an already highly anticipated sequel. Unfortunately, thats not good. Fortunately, I'm sure that Bioware would be nice enough to at least figure something out so that we play with the (mostly) decent, respectable people from this website.

If this rumor turns out to be true - which does look likely, then i have to admit im not feeling that excited about it anymore. I don't understand why a studio as talented as bioware feel the need to hop on the bandwagon with online fps games. Mass Effect has carved it's own niche, and ME2 looks likely to win every award you can imagine - why all of a sudden put out something thats just like everything else?

If it's a good game i will check it out, maybe rent it first, but im not feeling even close to pumped for this. It just seems like a money grab, and will likely sell more than the core ME games due to the fact that theres more morons buying games who just like shooting things (lets not get too complicated now) than people who enjoy the finer things (like ME2!), and then we can look forward to even more of this uninspired crap being released over and over again.

I would love to give bioware the benefit of the doubt here, but seriously, the kotaku rumours 'source' is apparantly a member on the title, states that it's in the vein of CoD - WTF! If this is true than bioware wanna be just like them, which is just sad to see and the shape of junk to come.

For the sake of mass effects cred i really hope it kicks ass and im completely wrong and eating my own word out the toilet when this thing comes out.

I've been waiting a long time for Bioware to make a First Person Shooter and the likelihood that it will take place in the Mass Effect universe is a welcome plus!



All those who are fretting about the multi player focus shouldn't worry too much. This is Bioware we're talking about and I'm sure there is going to be a great single player campaign that will expand on the Mass Effect universe.

[ObserverStatus]

Kotaku is a fat stupid hobbit who makes up nasty lies!

[Busomjack]

Even if Kotaku is full of **** I think there is strong evidence that this is at the very least a Mass Effect game.

I'll be fine with a multi-player first person shooter in the Mass Effect universe provided it...



1.Has a strong storyline which does justice to the main Mass Effect series



2.Does something to distinguish itself game play wise.

Your all wrong it's a teaser for their new Action Role Playing Game called: Shadows of the Spanish Inquisition!

noone would expect that!

[Busomjack]

One thing I do worry about is Bioware trying to expand into too many different genres. They've done non-RPGs before like MDK 2 but that was many years ago.



I remember Squaresoft(now Square/Enix) was in the same position Bioware is in now during the late 90's. They were the absolute, undisputed Gods of the RPG genre and everything they made was a must buy on day 1. However, they began experimenting with racing games, shooting games, and fighting games and with a few exceptions, most of them really sucked or were mediocre.

If this particular Kotaku article hasn't already been posted:

http://kotaku.com/56...kyline=true&s=i

Pretty much says a "development source" says the game is the ME multiplayer game.

This!  Fable 3 left such a bad taste in my mouth.  Got it Moday night at midnight, time of death was 1:33 pm Thursday... RPG my butt.

On topic: Im hoping this is some ME3 trailer or a massive expansion/ DLC.  The fact that this wbsite has essentially been dead since LotSB is a good sign that something big is coming down the pipe.

I'll give Bioware this, they gave the forums a pulse again. Even if they are evil, cruel, and manipulative bastards toying with out emotions.

Btw, somebody needs to make a group that compiles all of these screenshots and the theories. Cna't wait to see what Zulu DFA when he gets his hands all over this

As [kotaku.com] (Blackout62) pointed out earlier, the two numbers that Bioware have alluded to were: 55.845 and -128.5°F. The mass of iron and the coldest temperature on earth.

Mass of iron & coldest temperature on earth
Mass of FE (iron) & CT on earth
Mass FE CT on earth
Mass Effect on Earth!

Just a thought.

Let's see - ME2 has about 18 different weapons that cannot be customized along with a unispired level-up menu. The most recent CoD game has over 50 different weapons, about 7 attachments per gun, and the ability to select from over 15 unique perks and killstreaks. Now before you are quick to deem multuplayer games "mindless", which one seems more complicated to you?

Crap, I guess I don't deserve this scholarship afterall. <_<

Meh, as long as this doesn't affect ME3, doesn't worry me. I would be pissed if they made ME3 more based on shooting and action to please their new fans from the online shooter.

[Wut555]

someone somewhere said the hints with mass of iron and freezing temp on Earth points to Shattered Steel, frozen steel = shattered, some old bioware game, looks like that game fits the time of the flick, interesting idea makes sense



also wouldnt put it pass bioware to trick everyone by putting the incisor in there just to get people looking the other way

[Mongerty]

I am just curious as to where this FPS hate comes from.



I would expect RPG players of all people to be more accepting of our brethren. FPS games are not "braindead" and not every player is a Mountain Dew fueled 12 year old. Quite honestly, most of the FPS out there today have very rich backstories and nice story progression. The problem is you have to look for it, and it isn't handed to you on a silver platter. (Normally this is through NPC lines that are easy to miss if you are not listening for them, or cut scenes that people skip).



Maybe I am just venting, but it seems like everyone here thinks that they are in some way "Above" the normal FPS player.

[Homebound]

Mongerty, people have preconceptions of certain Genres. FPS games, recently, have been coming out in droves. Its like the MMORPG hate when a bunch of MMOs got released and how it got compared to WoW that got compared to Everquest etcetc.



In short, gamers like to fart in wine glasses and smell their own farts.

I think that this is pretty great if it's true, but I'm already starting to see a lot of people accusing BioWare of being "sellouts" just because their next game is focusing on something that's popular right now. It's a pretty self-obsessive attitude to have, and it basically screams "I'm an elitist prat who loves companies as long as they do what I tell them to, because my head is so far up my rectum that I genuinely believe that I can make more educated decisions than people who've been making video games longer than I've been alive."

I hope its not a TPS. TPS multiplayer games are terrible for competitive play.

Oh, hi there, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, best competitive shooter on consoles. You're sitting right here, aren't you?
...Yes, of course I heard him.
...No, I don't think he's ever played you.
...Well, gosh, I don't know why, maybe he's not a fan of your aesthetic or something? I mean, people do call you Indiana Jones and the Tomb Raider's National Treasure for a reason.




Just as a side note, most of the above sentiment was me making a corny joke, but I do think Uncharted 2 has an excellent multiplayer component with a lot of depth. If you disagree, then feel free to prove me wrong. I love learning new things.

Given how fast Bioware is cranking out DA2, and all the post release DLC for both DA and ME2, it's hard for me to believe they have had time to construct an entirely new IP, or even a single player spin off.



My guess is a multiplayer spin off from Mass Effect.

There's nothing elitist about being creative. The industry currently lacks creativity. We are seeing the same ideas being recycled, in every genre, over and over again. 

If 8 out of 10 games already support multiplayer, tell my why the remaining 2 absolutely must go the same way? 

Sorry, but you people crying for mutiplayer are simply coming across as spoiled. It's not enough that one unique IP can stand apart from it..no, EVERY SINGLE IP I LIKE MUST BE MULTIPLAYER!!!!!! 

Because, you know, there's so little to choose from.

Do me a favor and point out to me the part in my post where I expressed this sentiment. I like Final Fantasy, but I didn't ever play any of the ones with multiplayer support and I don't really feel the need to do so. Just because I happen to think that Mass Effect would do well in a multiplayer setting(it's a squad-based third-person shooter, come on) doesn't mean I think every single IP I like needs to have multiplayer, and I'll thank you kindly not to put words in my mouth, or whatever the internet equivalent to a mouth would be. Words in my...text box?

If BioWare wants to do this then more power to 'em. It's a good idea, and given BioWare's track record, it's hard not to trust them to do good things with it. They certainly haven't steered me wrong before, but then again, I never played Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.

[Bebbe777]

The next game after this is gonna be Dragon Age: Slash & Decapitate, a thrilling killing spree that will have you slashing Darkspawn forever with no endgame, gamemodes will be "How many Darkspawn can you kill in 24 hours" and "How fast can you kill a Dragon with a dagger".
