I thought the Knuckles alien was a goddamn joke... turns out... it was real? All of it?

That alien on the right belongs in any Sonic 2006 fanfic >.>

Knuckles aside, even that model is absolutely horrible. It's like the MK/Injustice modelers got to do some side work for ME. I mean just look at those shoulders.

Who is the person who sees this, and then goes "Alright, let's make it Gold" who is the last line of defense before something like this is made permanent, I refuse to believe the people that made the ME trilogy let this put into the wild. No one is that ignorant of their product

The photoshop doesn't even make sense with some of those ear things in the front and some in the back.
welp, i've been had... Really thought only the nose was fake
It was in development for 5 years with hundreds of people involved, so pretty expensive I would say.

But that still doesn't explain why Bioware hired Tetsuya Nomura to design their upper bodies.
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?!
Is it me or does every Asari that isn't Peebee have the same exact face? They all seem to use the same face as the doctor from the start. I think I've also seen a few of the presets in game as well. I'm pretty sure this:
is preset 1 from the character creator for example.
40 millions.

Exactly my thought, it really does.
I think you mean Yoshida. These guys could be in FF Tactics.
Yes.
They used the shitty CC that doesn't even let you tweak details of the face to populate their game.
So every body ends up looking really similar.
In the leaked alpha, the NPC had a unique face with great animation that was mocapped.
The current state of the game feels like they quickly had to replace all the characters and animations, and used a shitty CC for that.
Depressing.
The ones that don't use the CC usually end up being bald crappy dudes with ps2 textures.
I've only watched a few hours, so the full game might be different, but I saw far too many of those to be acceptable in my book out of the little I've seen.
Mass Effect Andromeda is actually the first game funded entirely by IOU notes and free cheese & tomato sandwiches.
It's actually quite the accomplishment.

Lol it looks like a clown drawn by a kid in pre school.
lol what the hell has happened the last 5 years
?

edit: You can clearly see the photoshop overlaying the original in the screencap and video. smh
What the hell, we gettin crab people? It kinda looks like Knuckles banged a Twi'lek
Edit: And what's up with the super low-res character textures and flat lighting everywhere? Game straight up looks unfinished and I feel bad for the devs, there can't be anyone who put hard work into this project happy about the state it's releasing in

Lol, if Horizon animations are "horrible" then we need an entirely new word to describe what's happening in Andromeda. The two are not comparable in the slightest.
Not to mention Horizon also being on an entirely different level graphically. I say this as someone with zero interest in owning a PS4 lol
i was watching Raycevik's ME1 retrospective and it once again dawned on me how much more organic or at least less off-putting the dialogue and animation sequences are in that game. This was 2007:

Yeah, they don't have coke eyes, and they actually move their heads.
Whenever I see the Andromeda characters, all I can see is this:
Maaan took a break from this thread over the weekend and the hilarity has continued.
Well played Gaf.
Does she say this in the game?
Cuz if she does goddamn is this image just so perfect lmao

Haha, I also love how his right pupil clips trough his eyelids soon after he awakes. But yeah, something seems off for most Ryder's I have seen when they actually move in game.

Why? Because they lied to us, Shane. Claimed they would fix the animation problems seen in the previews. Said they learned about sidequests from Dragon Age and other RPGs. They even touted some big names until we found out those people had left a year or more ago. Nothing was really fixed.
Now they have the option of either just asking the money and doing nothing, or at the very least try to make up for some of it like Hello Games has been doing with all the new content. Of course, I don't expect them to be able to fix the writing / characters but that's another matter entirely.

I almost spit out my lungs from laughing so hard, not sure why, I think it's because of his calm demeanor, saying his character has nice feature etc. and then you get the 'in-action' segment, lmao.
I think I'm gonna spend a lot of time in CC to make sure this doesn't happen to me, first sign of trouble in the 'awakening' scene and I'm back in CC, fuck that.

Lol, "guys, we need to appeal to middle America. I think they do construction? What's construction, anyway? Hmm... from google image it seems to involve like, being up high, and crawling under things...
Obviously this game needed another serious rewrite, but how does this garbage get written in the first place?
can someone who knows how to link tweets on GAF (how do you do it?) embed this please:

Not sure if people in this thread are interested in this, but I compared the EA Play trailer with the release. Things change in game development, yet it's still a huge difference in lighting.

So Horizon just got a patch today which, among other things, lists minor animation fixes in the notes. Just thought that was pretty funny. I guess there's a faint glimmer of hope that this game can at least get some animation band aids through patches.
I cannot imagine them spending the time or money to either fully mocap everything that's broken, or paying people to properly keyframe the faces. At best they may fix things like disappearing characters, but ultimately they're beyond the point of no return.
There may be something similar to this in this thread, but it made me laugh like crazy during the trial:

That early footage looked so good, the atmosphere just clicked. I really hate they showed all of this when the game looked nothing like it.
This thread continues to amuse and Bioware keeps taking the L's
Goddamn. Bioware outdid themselves again!

Reminds me of this:
Bioware might as well be Bethesda North.
Bethesda opened a studio in Montreal. Coincidence? I think not.

Boom. Their deep understanding of the working class psyche, and their ability to build it in meta-textually in the style of later Joyce has me floored right now.
