At the moment, it feels more like a "made you look" type post than anything else.
I agree that some of the things they say about what is in the game makes it seem real.... after all, there are ALWAYS new weapons, characters, etc.
I do wonder though that since the last rumor - or rather the rumor last winter - was that the third game had been started, but then shelved because LA laid off the staff, since they decided that the third game was to be done inhouse. And the poster does make a comment about the inhouse staff.... but.... why would Bio be the ones to post the info? LA would be the ones to post it. If it is being done as the "New Project" at Bio, then why would there be a comment about LA laying off the staff? because they would have just moved from project to project at Bio, not been there exclusively for LA.
The other thing is that from what I saw with KotOR2, I would say that LA is the ones who can say when press releases are given, and they will have something on their site first.
I wouldn't be surprised if the game takes place 14 years in the "future" because there is a jump from the first game to the second game too.
