Which doesn't even make sense since any AAA engine does animation blending by default.

Just to chime, this one is another poor animation. It's even worse in context and full-speed. Very Early Spoilers,
shortly after waking up, there is a quaking disturbance on the ship. Immediately after being asked if they're fine, Ryder asks "What happened?" this is when the expression is quickly displayed almost before he even asks the question.
I suppose it's better than the Noot Noot mouth.
Yeah. Until Dawn isn't a particularly long game and has a tiny cast.
Conversely Horizon is pretty damn great, but they failed so hard on the lip sync. The lips have a really great rig that allows them for the naturalistic motion, but I have no idea what prevented the sounds from coming out at the right times.
Certainly, it is possible and even probable that these issues will be fixed in DS, but I personally wouldn't make judgements until there is a game there to show.
Giant Bomb, Gamespot and PC gamer were pretty lukewarm about the game. We will see on Monday with the reviews.
Bioware's animations have never been top tier, but this is the lowest their bar has ever been set.
I'm a little worried...not enough to not buy the game, but my hype has been reigned in significantly.

I am so glad I opened this thread. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
God Mass Effect produces some of the best unintentionally hilarious content.

The memes are going to be spectacular, so at least we've got that going, which is nice.

Is the multiplayer made by character creator? They looks great. I think I'll try to make my character look more like them.Meanwhile over in the multiplayer.

Looking at this I can't get over how awful the skin is in this game. They look like straight up plastic dolls. Also the skin is waaaaay too reflective

They seem to be done with the same presets but why they chose to make the faces look really good for multiplayer and not for single player, who knows.

Teaser for the Live Action Mass Effect Andromeda trailer..
Omg lmao
Best post in one of the best threads I have seen.
Oh goddamn this thread is destroying me. I can't stop laughing.
Maaaaan do these animations looks bad.

I think at the end of the todday there's probably a lot of hilarious Wrestling Gifs that look exactly like Mass Effect animations.Kinda reminds me of this one. Kinda.

I picked up on the eye problem very early on. I did some minor tweaks, and even then I'd still shrink the pupils a little.
It's the same damn problem that affected films like The Polar Express.
If you can't get the eyes right, the rest falls apart.
Games like Horizon and Until Dawn have really raised the bar on believable eyes this gen.
I think it's more than the eyes. If your gonna go for that uncanny look of facial animation your characters cannot do anything that makes them look sub-human. Eye twitching, shaky legs, random spasms, etc. It all just make characters look like robots trying to imitate humans. And also not have them over exaggerate facial movements. Humans aren't cartoons. Subtlety is a lot more convincing.
Death Stranding already surpassed it.
I would wait till we actually see the game and get some hands on impressions to make any judgements about the face models in that game. Not to say they will look bad, but kind of early to actually make any sort of conclusions about the games graphics when only having seen highly curated cut scenes.
The Salarian even looks like he's gonna say "I'm not the only one who saw that, right?"

Bioware does it again!
Bioware when explaining themselves to EA:
rofl..... EA: We are commmited to ME.....
This one is just like checking a girl with a fine booty from behind, but then she suddenly turns around

This game is bringing up bad memories.
this one is odd, because its in a bit of uncanny valley territory.
MEA, is just mostly terrible animation, design, and shaders. Totally different ballparks imo

yeah i felt like the Kotaku article was a little too generous, reading a bit too much damage control like "yeah this is funny but nothing to see here!! no really it doesn't detract too much from the game *nervous laughter*"
I'm trying to appease the resident Bioware fans who seemingly 'hate' all this negativity

Some great stuff happening in the Mass Effect: Andromeda 90's sitcom thread (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1352822). Some highlights:
Cant wait for the game to come out. Great gifs ahoy.

Yeah after he turns back he looks at everyone and goes " what the fuck was that" . Even gestures where she disappeared lol

Well I mean it is possible.
Fallout: New Vegas has terrible animations and ridiculous amounts of jank and it's still one of my favourite games of all time. I can see how these animations wouldn't take away someone's enjoyment of the game. It probably won't take away mine
