Title: Mysterious Encrypted USB
Post by: Tbone on April 05, 2010, 04:19:37 pm

IGN and other gaming sites reported receiving a mysterious USB in the mail with a text file and audio file. It seems to be an ARG for an upcoming video game. This is as far as I've seen someone get with it:

It implies we will have to wait until the second week of April to get the next round of clues.

Great assumption on Fallout New Vegas... Sure has the feel of FO3.

it looks like singularity or the next Modern warfare.  Bethesda confirmed it was not them, and the website the tv is on is owned by activision...

I love it when game developers experiment with different types of marketing, and this subtle approach actually has much more impact on me than a blatant commercial would. I'll be keeping my eye on this one, thank for posting T.
