This looks like one of those fake porns that people make with video game characters.

I'm surprised they didn't react that way to this part. Something about the lighting, the color and the quality of the NPCs here makes it look really fake.

Can we stop with the hyperbole regarding Horizon's cutscenes/animations? Some side quest scenes look a little wonky, but it is really nothing, nothing
compared to Andomeda. Overall Horizon is actually among the best animated open world RPGs.

Heavenly Sword animates better than Andromeda...

Best thing is that the stream starts above the bottle neck.

That looks awful! Had to take a still image to post. May be a bit blurry from being a still, but the lighting, the colors, what happened?!

I just finished a comparison between the (alpha?) footage from april 2016 and this one.
EDIT: I fixed the comparison with the non glitched version of the video

That image is unbelieavble. It's Ps2 era graphics.
And then you watch the video and realise it's even worse. Even basic composition is fucked - the krogan is the main speaker, but permanently blocked by the Asari. Who speaks, but literally the only part of her body that moves are her lips. Meanwhile, the krogan looks to be dancing behind her.
How? HOW?

That GB quick look has sealed the deal for me. Staying far away. Between the terrible animation/graphics and the terrible dialogue, there's no way the better gameplay from the past versions overcomes that.
I'd ask, "How does a AAA game like this get handled so poorly," but Bioware has more than enough history of doing just that at this point. I can't feign surprise.

Thinking about doing the same until it hits sale. If I wanted a third person shooter I'd play gears of war. I come to mass effect for the story and the dialogue. The shooting can be the worst part and it wouldn't bother me if everything else is good.
Also, with no music while you are in the ship it's a pass for me. The music was a huge part of why Mass Effect was great. Why didn't the developers realize that?
PS2? Hell to the no. In the screenshot, maybe. But not in the video itself. PS3 era is more fitting. Regardless, what the fuck is wrong with the body proportions of the red-haired guy. I want to play this game one day and like it, but that shit just looks amateur as fuck.

Holy shit what happened with this game? That leaked gameplay clip looks so much better
Impossible deadlines most likely.
That's a Dark Souls II level of ripping a working lighting system out of the game.
Like DSII, the game looks positively ghastly without the intended lighting solution.
What the hell happened to this project

My brand!
From what? Cherry picked promo material?
But the gameplay from 2016 already had better animation, better effects, better lighting. And while effects/graphical downgrade is possible, why on earth would anyone downgrade animation that was already done?

What..? Texture and lighting I could understand, but to downgrade animations?? (compare the faces)
Because Bioware wants us to have a comedy obviously.
Officer.Sanchez you should make a thread with that comparison.
it's impossible to achieve that level of detail and lighting on consoles, so things had to be cut down

I wish devs wouldn't be so concerned with graphics parity with consoles/pc. Damn that looked way better and my PC probably could have handled it.
The early material is just a prerendered scene, doesn't need to have anything to do with the actual game engine(and in this case it really doesn't judging by the differences). Nothing new, it's Watchdogs all over again...

Wow! They used KOTOR engine?
It's definitely rendered in-engine.

It's clear the stream is static and not parented to the bottle... but the bottle moves around and to have that parented would just look weird...
They shouldn't have the bottle moving around like that and made it easier...

A "little" bit off topic and might not even be an answer to your problem, but you might want to check out the soundtrack for Stellaris, Paradox Interactive's space flavoured grand strategy. Even if the game itself isn't your thing, the soundtrack, alteast in my opinion, is pretty "Mass Effect" like.

OK, that comic is pretty darn great.
Not really... that an internal leak was it not? It'd be one thing if they released that and lied.
EDIT: Artistically it's a huge downgrade... but I was merely commenting on the fiasco.
What the - The leaked footage looks better than the final game. What the actual Fuck?

This looks like a cross-gen version of MEA vs a current-gen only version.
They clearly decided to change the artstyle with less than one year to go.
And this is what we get.

Nah, it's a quick video and not a fair comparison. It's leaked footage not a public trailer. Another thread is going to add more fuel to the fire.

yeah, agreed, but dark souls 2 didn't look half this bad. it's all them cold, sterile metal environments that make this look all that much worse...
