Looks like generic gray-and-brown semi-futuristic shooter #651.

[Tale]

I'm getting more and more sick of "gritty" as time goes by. I need color, people.

Alpha Protocol 2

With generic white guy with short dark hair and slight stubble space marine?

 

A BioWare dev posted two images to the announcement section:

 

 

Poster 1 said his redlaser app got this: ‎001101010011010100101110001110000011010000110101

Poster 2 said it's the mass of iron.

 

A poster said it's "-128.5

Wearing generic impractically-designed power armor, to boot!

More stuff from the BioWare boards:

 

The first two clues (plus a Mass Effect rifle) point to Aequitas, a planet in Mass Effect 2 known for its "Iron Canyons" and a surface temperature of -128.5F (-89C).

 

It was also the site of a sidemission, N7: Abandoned Mine in which a Reaper indoctrination device turned a research team into husks and abominations.

 

Here's the description:

 

Home to the famous Iron Canyons, Aequitas has reddish iron oxide dust (hematite) covering much of its surface and significant blue cobalt deposits that freckle the terrain. Turian explorers have discovered hot springs in the polar ice caps, heated by magma in the planet's crust. In a strange combination of science and hucksterism a small facility exports water from these springs, which is bottled and sold as having medicinal properties. The funds are then used to maintain a research station, which has discovered some fossil evidence that Aequitas once harbored microscopic life, based on deoxyribonucleic acids in these springs.

Doesn't look like a Mass Effect rifle to me...is it a DLC weapon?

[Niten_Ryu]

New IP huh?

 

I would have guess Mass Effect 3 but maybe EA tries some different angle to get some of that sweet Call of Duty (semi)-interactive movie money because Medal of Honour didn't do well enough.

[Purkake]

I Bioware game?

 

I hate it already! Grrr

It's a repaint of the M-29 Incisor sniper rifle. Originally, only in the PC digital deluxe and then avilable through the Aegis DLC.

Now all we need is Volo to say "New BioWare Game > KOTOR L0L."

Bioshock Infinity was a new IP too.

Well, that would explain why I haven't seen it. Honestly, this overuse of DLC does nothing but annoy me.

[Tale]

Whoah, that is the Incisor.

Might be an ME spinoff since BIO wants to do more ME games but only wants to do have Shepard for a trilogy before dumping him/her in the trash.

Prequel confirmed!?

[Maria Caliban]

BioWare just opened up a Montrial studio and is highering QA who are familiar with the Unreal editor and multiplayer games. A MP game in the ME universe?

[kirottu]

I hope Bio will name it Mass Effect Origins.

But I thought BioWare never pandered to shooter fans!

[sorophx]

some people say it's a sequel to Shattered Steel, would be nice

[Enoch]

Yeah, all the signs seem to be pointing to a Medal of Warfare Duty game with a ME setting. Ho-hum.

The sad thing is it'll probably be way more profitable than a new RPG.

[RPGmasterBoo]

Disappointing

Why do you care, Boo? According to you BIO sucks anyways so does it matter what kind of games they make since they'd suck anyways? L0LZ
