I think I've decided that I believe it will just be a ME3 "announcement".
It's being released at the spike VGA's which are a complete fucking joke to begin with, and has had a history of "world premieres" for games that were already officially announced.
I think for the average VGA viewer, it would be the first time they heard of it.
In that context it makes sense.
But last time they announced the Batman sequel
And that was news!
Plus if it was just ME3 why do all this stupid ARG bullshit for a game everyone knew was coming anyway?
ME3 will take place over the course of three hundred odd years, as Shepard prepares for the coming of the Reaper fleet and struggles with the loss of his humanity as more and more of his biological systems are replaced with synthetics.
You watch.
It'll be all WHAT CAN CHANGE THE NATURE OF A MAN and the answer will be HAVING A COMPUTER FOR A BRAIN followed by terminator Shepard kicking ass and chewing bubble gum with his wisecracking transforming robot spaceship sidekick EDI.
And Grunt, who by this time will be some sort of giant mutant super Krogan tyrannosaurus.

Shepard is not The Nameless One
The Nameless One's name was Shepard.
No, There is not going to be some fanwank crossover
Interesting "reveal". I don't think it's ME3, because, well, where is Vandershep? This is some new dude, so either it's a Thorian/Feros prequel/side-quest dlc or a shattered steel sequel.
EDIT: and if you look carefully there's a frame or two showing what the sniper is looking down on, and it looks like a horizon-like settlement. Not that that bolsters any particular argument, it's just interesting.
If we take it to be some sort of Mass Effect spin off, I'd place good money of the first contact war.
We have a number of humans getting their ass kicked (guy seems to be alone, and the aesthetics are clearly reminiscent of 'gritty', rather then the usual more idealised fair of the universe), a human esque colony that's been really damaged, and taking place in the past, but not so far back we're not using the same rifles.
Offers a good setting for gameplay opportunities, especially the rumoured multi, and has the perfect enemies - the most 'all rounders' that aren't asari (which you wouldn't have as the mainstay because 'cism). Even allows the appearence of a few loved characters from number one who got killed off, and fits the timeline.
So in the Mass Effect Universe... is there a bunch of fanfics and fanart of Shepard on the extranet? Every alien seems to be set on boning Shepard, so if in ME3 we had access to the web would she find a bunch of stuff on her?
The internet is bad enough in the real world... I'm worried about what would happen if you added thousands of alien species in as well. Batarian slashfic

"Hey, who's that five year old kid? He picked up a rifle and killed like twenty turians in less then a minute!"

Wow... that image wasn't that bad. I actually found it quite humorous.
Welp, that settles it, I have to do another ME2 playthrough, as a shepard that remained loyal to Liara. The ME2 girls are just not good enough anymore.

I keep repeating this because I hope the Bioware Guys see it and put it in ME3 like Quads was put in ME2.
I want a Krogan Female, so impressed with Shepards unbeatable combat prowess, to become infatuated with him to the degree that she spends a large majority of the game stalking him like prey before a scene where she has a chance to "conquer" him, despite the genetic incompatibilities, because there is no Krogan who is more Krogan than Shepard.

i second this.
EDIT: also, re: the 2 second reveal, i thought this was pretty relevant:
After I beat the game, every time I play Horizon I've thought it should've been a practice round for the Suicide Mission. A second team to protect/move frozen colonists the Collecters haven't, ah, collected yet. A biotic to help the ME1 character get some unfrozen colonists to safety. Make a bad choice and you pull 'em out of a pod during the Collector Ship mission. Would've been neat. Help get the feel of teamwork before the end of the game.
hmm... I really enjoyed Ilos, but Virmire was much more fun for me.

Send them a Pair of Running Shoes. Used or Otherwise. Or a letter, but let's not be formulaic. Send them a picture of trainers, too. Or a painting. Or money. Whatever.
So, I just finished Shadow Broker. It was really, very good. Also, the vids are hilarious. And so is Mordin's mission record. And numerous other things. I am excited for anything Mass Effect related that bioware are intending to make. (Also, I think that the hard-boiled detective story on the citadel would be quite possibly the best thing ever.)

Modern Warfare RPG?
Edit: Modern Modern Warfare RPG...looks like futuristic but not too futuristic
My guess? All the races. Shepard will be able to bang all the races, anything less would just be an insult.

That's..... disturbing.
Also, turns out they all think Tali has purple skin. Wut. o_O
Shepard is not The Nameless One
I didn't even GIS it myself
I just knew
That's not a thing you should GIS

D&D, Rifts and a healthy smattering of The Dresden Files. The moment iron was mentioned I thought of Fae as well.
... waitwhat?
Actually, on second thought I'm strangely comfortable with this notion.
The Nameless One's name was Shepard.
No, There is not going to be some fanwank crossover
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
I love you.
wha, its male shep too.

Shouldn't you all know better than to do something so foolish?

That, sir, is a damn interesting idea.
The extranet is for Shep dom'ing krogans.

The Citadel is second.

War crimes?! I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN.
That would really work with one past Shepard, though. If you are a War Hero or Sole Survivor you didn't really do anything "wrong".
Rifts had some pretty hilarious power bloat.
Woulda been fun to rift a bunch of Macross 2 people in there...
