You are missing something. He defined it correctly, it sounds like a male speaking in a feminine tone, commonly stereotyped.

Her eyes are seriously creepy.
Hope it gets good because I really want to have another great Mass Effect game.
Are you trying to imply that the original Mass Effect trilogy had good animations? Because they didn't. So if you enjoyed those I don't see how this will change things.

That doesn't mean I don't want to see improvements after all this time.

What make it worse is the dialogue she is saying in that scene doesn't match the glassy face at all. "Get out there Ryder - Pathfind! We're dying!"
It bothers me a lot, if that is the kind of thing we're to expect elsewhere.
They have improved to be fair, just not that much. I'd love some crisp fantastic animations going on but c'mon, it's BioWare, you have to set your expectations realistically.

god i dont want to jump on this bandwagon but yea this section was bad. How do you feel the emotion when she just yells it with a blank face. Other than that i enjoyed everything I saw. Does anyone know if this is the PC they are capturing from? A lot of the textures looked a little less polished in this vid as well compared to the other pc 60fps they have been capturing.
But, Shepard is a Specter....Do we know the Dad's ranking?
Wasn't he only a Spectre in the first game? As he technically died was he ever officially brought back into the military? I honestly can't remember for sure.

This looks so bizarre. It's like it's missing a mesh on her face and they didn't animate her eyes. I think everything else in the video looks pretty great but this sticks out like a sore thumb.
Not only is the lip-syncing pretty terrible, the animation of the lips make them look like they're full of Botox and the characters can't close them properly - even the Krogan.

Are face animations still bugged?
You can't tell the difference between a woman's voice and an effeminate man's voice?
All these comments about Kesh's voice are borderline offensive.
That's just how her voice is, people. It's completely 100% appropriate for the character. If you don't like it, fine, but at least acknowledge that you look kind of dickish for openly proclaiming your dislike of the sound of someone's voice.
Now, the animations, on the other hand... that's something I think we can all agree is badly in need of some improvement. Doesn't look right at all. Especially on the human faces!

The Liara voice recording makes me wonder if she will appear in either this game or one of the sequels. After all barring any crazy twist she will be one of the only crew members that can still be alive from the trilogy, well her and Grunt I guess.

The dad is a specter as well. He holds the N7 ranking.
Specters and N7 are both separate.
Specters are appointed by the council, N7 are purely Human Military.
Metroidvania
People called Romanes they go the house?
N7 doesn't mean spectre - it just means that they're (among) the highest military specialists in the Alliance in terms of training and whatnot. IIRC both ryder sibling protagonists also hold that ranking.
Also, that dead eye stare gif is.....something.

N7 =/= Spectre. N7 is a human spec ops training rank, spectre is a council black ops position.

Spectres are citadel black ops, N7 are alliance elite soldiers, it's different.
As far as I'm aware they don't hold the N7 rank, just their dad does. They're military trained but not to that level.

Every time I hear some fucking guy complain about the most minute flaw in animation as if it's the biggest deal ever, I'm reminded of guerilla games's statement that 1 second of animation takes pretty much a full days work.
Mustn't be able to because I realised the Krogan was a female from the voice, so...
I think her voice is as emotionless as her face so it kind of match I guess. The only thing that truly bother me is the dead eye, some time they look fine and some time not so much.
The lighting isn't really has great as I would like but that just nitpicking

I know, right? I hope on top of that you can mod the weapon so that you can fire them forever like in the first one. Overpowered but good fun.

Can't really find any material to show it properly but:
There's four Arks and the Nexus is built upon arrival (I believe).
okay thanks this picture kinda answers my previous one too that if the nexus is bigger than the citadel or not? i'm guessing it is not?

You should really watch those weekly gameplay series that's on the official Mass Effect channel. The first (or maybe second?) video talked about weapons and powers and deals with the very thing you're talking about.

yeah the dead eyes and lack of eyebrow movement in some of the faces during conversation is very disappointing. been spoiled by other games now
Citadel length: 44.7 Km
Nexus length (when completed): 15.47 Km
So, no, quite a bit smaller in fact.

The series of videos that they've been doing? If so, I've seen all those but I must've missed that mention, do you have a link and/or timestamp? Not a deal breaker in any way but it's fun to go OP.

This looks exactly like one of the NBA 2K14 create a characters in one of their post-game cutscenes.

awesome. because i was gonna say if it was bigger and really wouldn't make sense in this universe for everybody in the milky way to be able to make a space station larger than the citadel made by the reapers, in like a year

I could swear there's pics of at least one of the siblings having armor with an N7 logo on it....but it's possible I'm just thinking promo materials, and it could just be showing a (helmeted) Marcus.
The game looks great, but I was not expecting that at all. LMAO.
