Mass Effect: Andromeda Pre-Release Thread

[Space Satan]

Every time I see something new about this game, my first thought is: "I don't need any more Mass Effect." I wonder if there's a relevant segment of the market who feels the same way.

Does Fallout 3, 4 and bethesda permanently euphoric audience taught you something?

 

[Cyberarmy]

this animation look like a dance and not running away for your life

and dance she did.

 

[Jaesun]

can't let a popular franchise die.

If the Mass Effect series was not profitable, they would not even be continuing it. Period.

The thing is: there are not so many space operas in the market, so it's not like there are many other option if you like this kind of setting.
That's pretty much the only reason I'm following the game, although I'm full aware that BioWare will probably fuck it again and they haven't yet shown nothing to convince me otherwise.

 

[sullynathan]

can we romance our sister or Father?

Plus such games can’t exactly be pumped out at a Call of Duty rate, so it’s much harder to suffer overexposure. By the time Andromeda releases, the series will have had a 5 year rest, which is also near enough the same amount of time between each major Elder Scrolls or GTA game. 4-5 years seems to be the sweet spot in terms of maximizing fan anticipation. Anyone claiming they’re bored of Mass Effect is unlikely to be joined by the general public.

Well, how many modern RPG franchises got four instalments in a decade? I'm not saying that the general market will have a problem with it, but it's a relatively rare occurrence.

I know the trailer was mostly just about the 4k-ness of the ps4 pro, but holy crap it looked poor. Who the hell walks like that? I'd rage about the fact that every time non-Shep sped up from a walk to a sort of zombie shuffle sprint, he lowered his head and twitched his weird potato shoulders in the exact same way.... but then I'd worry I wasn't giving the rest of that crap equal and fair distaste.

As far as the whole DA2 sibling redux thing goes, I wonder if they'll actually be able to make anyone care about them this time. It's almost guaranteed that whichever one you don't take as the protagonist will be kidnapped/lost/killed/something to serve as the primary motivation fot the character's random world scanning bullshit.

we know that Bio can't an animate well. Big Mac said that both brother & sis will exist at the same time, I think the other sibling will be a squadmate.

I don't buy it.
Inquisition had 20% of content and 80% of filler and I doubt you couldn't copy paste it in a year.
It raises the question why it is taking them so long because footage already confirms that they are reusing everything except the environments (and even they have the same feel)
So this type of recycled games like AC could be shifted every year a new one, they are probably just lazy and full of cheap incompetent intern.

They shifted to a new engine (Frostbite) and a new console gen, it also seems like they were having development problems along the way with all the people that quit. It makes sense that it would take this long, after all, a game like TW3 took about 4 years with delays and moving onto a new engine and platform.

Ubisoft has about 3 teams working on AC at a given time, just like Activision has on COD. They tend to have close to 1000 people working on their games, and use the same engine so it is a quicker process.

 

[Frozen]

Wasn't inquisition already in Frostbite?
Same as this it looks like shit too cartoonish with reused assets.
Not to mention that even environments (the only saving grace of Inquisition) was not really open world, only far wider corridors (and this will probably be the same).
When you put it all with how little effort in everything is puled into a BioWare game since DA2 with reducing features i doubt its technical.
Its similar to Bethesda and "FO4" that looks like remastered version of FO3 and it took them even longer with the same fucking engine lmfao

 

[Alienman]

Inquisition was in frostbite. That was one of the big selling points.

 

[Dreaad]

All Asari are female, alines and all that.... what's the bet they add a tranny Asari with a dick.

 

[Irxy]

The male character design is terrible. How they are showing this without shame?

Like the female is any better. She looks like pre-surgery Kardashian.

How to ensure that no man ever plays femryder ever

Women won't play it either, from my observations they spend 5x more time in the editor and their chars are always pretty from the common point of view, and not of the alternative one those Bioware faggots try to force on everyone.

 

[Caim]

I actually kinda like that idea.

 

[Latelistener]

I don't know what you fags hope for the new game, but it looks like we're gonna be eating a lot of asari pu0ssay yet again. You know, RPG.

Well, maybe if you put a bag on her head... still barely fapable.

 

[Jack]

I actually kinda like that idea.

Play Dragon Age 2 to change your mind.

 

[Tytus]

 

[Caim]

The Mask 3: Daughter of The Mask.

 

[Wayward Son]

It reminds me of Dragon Age 2's focus on "family". Maybe they want to try that again?

Statements like this are the reason that we need a cringe button.

Possibly a romance option?

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Possibly a romance option?

Finally Bioware and the video game industry acknowledges those people who prefer incestuous relationships. Another barrier has been taken down people!

 

[Jack]

Another barrier has been taken down people!

Demonicon already did that.
