Something odd is going on over at Bioware. Earlier this week they said that they would reveal a new game at the Spike TV Video Game Awards. Then a small clip of a new game appeared in a trailer for the Spike TV Video Game Award with Bioware’s name on it. On top of all that, they’ve just Tweeted a couple of mysterious images which might somehow contain encoded within it the name of the upcoming game. Put on your best deducing hat, all the clues are assembled below.

Item one: a short clip of video, teasing the announcement at the upcoming Spike TV Video Game Awards.

First image:


Uncoded
“001101010011010100101110001110000011010000110101″ = “55.845″ (the atomic number of Iron)

Second image:


Uncoded
“0010110100110001001100100011100000101110001101011011000001000110″ = “-128.5°F” (the lowest recorded surface temp. on earth)


I assume it will be a Mass Effect game because the rifle he's holding looks similar to an Incisor rifle. And I assume it will be an FPS because documents were leaked awhile ago that Bioware/EA were looking for multiplayer programmers. I don't feel like looking for them. Alright I found it. I spoil you guys. With facts that support my theories. Well hypotheses. Theory implies I've done testing. I can't get to my lab, damn bookcase is jammed.

What I think it is.
Mass Effect: First Contact. Multuplayer/Single player FPS.

Single Player: Maybe the protagonist is Zaeed. A squadmate from ME2. He was in the Alliance during the first contact war.
Multiplayer: Heavily inspired by BFBC and BFBC2. One side plays as humans on side plays as turians. Full vehicular combat, large maps and biotics/tech powers. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

I fully expect to be wrong. But none of you ******s are going to read this. You never read these and I put literally minutes of work into them.

*Also you are now aware that the guy in the teaser has a massive neck and ear. Presumably ears.

FFFFFUUUU I read it

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 & abominations.

So maybe no ME First Contact. Sad face

Wait, Wait. The temperature was recorded in Vostok, Antarctica. There’s a system in Mass Effect 1 called Vostok. DAMN YOU BIOWARE AND YOUR CONFLICTING INTEL!
