The similarities aren't that shocking to be honest. Many developers/films do this all the time, Mass Effect itself is guilty of this with some architecture/armor from FF Spirits Within, and a few other sources.
BTW anyone know what Casey Hudson is up to these days? Is he still developing games, or done with that entirely?
Ha, was just about to post that pic actually
They look pretty similar, not entirely sure they're the same thing though.
One thing I'm curious about though, is A.R.K.C.O.N meant to be an acronym? If so, it's going to be awkward whatever they choose to fill in the letters.
The first three letters spell out the work Ark.
Could that mean the game is set at some point after the Council races sent out an Ark ship to parts unknown?
Whatever it is...I think their logo is rad.

There was a rumour last year that he is now working at Oculus Rift, since they seem to want to develop original games.

Nah, he bought a DK2 a few month ago. Maybe to play Elite:Dangerous.

Wherever he is they are look to have him.
Just saw Interstellar. oh man... I think, DAT water planet in the movie is a great idea for a tiny NME sidequest. get in the water (just an endless shallow ocean - nothing else), find the beacon. kill some husky thing (normandy will cover you from the air 
) and enjoy the view.
btw, the wait is killing me. 
The underwater portion of the Leviathan DLC was cool I thought. So I wouldn't mind something similar in the next ME game.
Yeah, that was neat. Brought back memories of the underwater part of Manaan in KOTOR.
I wouldn't mind if ME: Next was modeled like DAI. Just so long as it has the one feature that to me represents the core of the Mass Effect franchise: complete and utter emotional annihilation.
Come on devs, bring on the heartbreak! I'm ready to get wrecked. Give me some hard choices (no easy way out!), some cool new guns, and maybe the option to buy a sweatshirt with your rad new logo on it, and I'll be happy.

I'd rather they leave out some of the more mindless fetch quests and just make more story quests. I'm not against some repeatable, optional grind missions though. I'd love for them to bring in the crafting from DAI, that stuff was awesome.
Also, let us keep playing after the end (if it's applicable).
And I agree about the emotional annihilation part. (Incoming DAI spoilers)
I feel Bioware played it soooo safe with DAI. No important people died, Skyhold was never at threat, your actions didn't really effect the ending (though the slides we got were nicer than ME3's original ending), and the last boss/ending kind of just happened. Corypheus just showed up at my doorstep, we fought, game ended. We need more build up. If Mass Effect did anything right, it was building up our victory (and whether or not we got one is debatable).
That really does look cool. But I really don't think that I would be able to paint those things seeing as how they're only 3" - 4".
I bet you it's hand to hand combat. Calling it right now, Bioware got professional wrestlers to come in and show them some of the ropes. Pretty soon we'll be chock slamming Salarians and pedigreeing Krogen.

....hmm. is this supposed to be a quote from gaider, or is it a quote being relayed to gaider? cuz when something makes gaider say "ohmygod", i pause and look up.
alas, #nocontext, so they could be talking abt backed up toilets in the employee restrooms for all that.
le sigh.
I was born in the wrong century.
Make it the right one then!

I was hoping there'd be more follow-up tweets, but alas... 
At any rate, it's always fun for baseless speculation when devs from both franchises are talking...

I assumed the quote was from DG... possibly something he saw of the new ME (here's some of that baseless speculation... 
).

I wish @GambleMike, @schlerf and @AarynFlynn and co would fill us in a little more on this apparent next gen ME trilogy. Please bioware!
I don't suppose "it takes place in space" is the scoop you're looking for?
I can neither confirm nor deny that space plays a factor in the next Mass Effect game...
"plays a factor". That's a skilled PR man, right there.
