Support NeoGAF

[Steel]

And so the cycle begins. People are gonna drool all over the graphics and then be outraged when it inevitably gets downgraded.

 

[Pooya]

that's it? trailers are really bad at this conference so far...

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Need to play the first 3...

I thought they would announce an HD remaster this E3....

 

[qa_engineer]

So many CG trailers.

 

[Coxy]

good thing there are no other sci-fi franchises called Andromeda!

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Garbage reveal, at least there was a krogan on your team in that last sequence.

 

[martino]

Plz be ingame footage
Mako is back ?

 

[diaspora]

And so the cycle begins. People are gonna drool all over the graphics and then be outraged when it inevitably gets downgraded.

Just like what happened to Inquisition.

Spoiler

Wait...

 

[Red Hood]

I looked away and missed it..

Lol same here, I was rushing to get a drink and when I came back I saw "Mass Effect: Andromeda", I was like "whaaaatt, when??" Luckily GAF was right on it.

 

[Steel]

Space Western.

Not what I want from Mass Effect at all personally, but w/e. I'll see what comes of it.

 

[Ralemont]

It didn't happen with DA: I, so I'm hopeful for Mass Effect.

 

[eot]

What makes Mass Effect special is that you shoot people, unlike other games where you shoo... oh wait. Maybe focus on something else in your reveal.

 

[Stereogatari]

Great subtitle.

 

[dancrane212]

Little tease was worth it. Nice to have an actual title for the game.

 

[diaspora]

I thought they would announce an HD remaster this E3....

When the XB1 can do backwards compatibility and the PC plays the games already?

 

[spookyfish]

"Lava Twisters -- this fall, on NBC."

 

[Dick Justice]

Looked meh as fuck. And I was hoping for something smaller scale. Ah well.

 

[Hellraider]

This is almost as bad as the shit they pulled last year. God dammit EA/Bioware...

 

[Guy.brush]

They did, they focused on a fist punch to the face in the end.

 

[KentoMaiku]

It got uploaded really fast!! I am hoping we'll see more at gamescom!

 

[Maledict]

Not what I want from Mass Effect at all personally, but w/e. I'll see what comes of it.

I'd definitely agree here - choice of music was terrible, and not at all what I expect from Mass Effect. Hopefully it was just for the trailer, and not representative of changes in game. ME music has always been one of the strongest points of the entire series.

 

[Soltype]

Man why did they show this now, the wait is going to kill me.

 

[105.Will]

YES. I hope the story is more "personal" this time. I love saving the world as much as the next guy, but I want something different.

 

[DOWN]

So many CG trailers.

Wasn't CG. Confirmed in engine.

 

[luffxan]

Whoa that music took me off guard.....I would be so down for a ME game with a pseudo western theme. I have no idea what that would even be like but I want it

 

[Ushay]

Shinobi post if you're ok lmao.

 

[GustyGardens]

Give it to me, EA.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Basically my mantra with this game is;

Prove it to me.

Earn my money Bioware. I will no longer buy on name value. Put out a game that is not Dragon Age: Inquisition levels of by the numbers. ME deserves better, conceptually.

 

[Stevey]

Whats up with that music?
I mean Johnny Cash is great, but it doesn't fit at all with Mass Effect

 

[Almighty]

They had me at Johnny Cash.

In all seriousness after ME3 and DA:I I will be keeping my expectations real low.

 

[Jarmel]

Cool music choice. Was very not Mass Effect-ish.

They better nail that exploration theme.

 

[Dennis]

 

[Feichaw]

We won't see any gameplay, will we? Well, I suppose that the trailer was made just to reveal the name. I need more

Hnnnnnnnnnggghhhhhhhhh. I need it in my veins, now!

 

[JohnnyFootball]

If this is all they are going to show for Mass Effect Andromeda then they shouldn't have even bothered. They should have just said the game was not going to get shown at E3 and just released the trailer at a later date.

 

[Dreaver]

YESSSS!! my all time favorite series!

 

[JeffZero]

Hot damn, they went with my favorite idea for the subtitle.

 

[Vamphuntr]

The survey leak was about the "Pathfinder" and we had the Pathfinder ARK project on Bioware's employee t-shirts. Now it's back to N7? I wonder what happened?

 

[SolidusDave]

I'm just glad it's in a different galaxy and the first thing they mention is to explore new worlds

Spoiler

(to shoot stuff up)

Do you think they will continue to hide the face of the protagonist (because of customization and male/female choice?). I don't think the Halo treatment works here, like in F4 they need to show something for marketing.

He's lame anyway because he chose the most boring planet

 

[DeadlyParasite]

If that's all they're showing then I'm actually pretty disappointed.

 

[Ralemont]

According to the blog post, the N7 soldier isn't actually the player in this game (interesting!) but another character.

 

[_woLf]

Playable human only confirmed.

Great.

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Uno Venova]

I want to live.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

]Cool music choice. Was very not Mass Effect-ish.[/B]

Theory; They're going to try and drink Guardians of the Galaxy's kool-aid.

 

[BumRush]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BrassDragon]

Looks slick... beautiful trailer with all the elements we expected except maybe the jump drive navigation.

But I'll be honest, the faceless / nameless hero and the jarring choice of music is not pressing my Mass Effect buttons at all.

Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine not playing Shepard... but at least give me something substantial to fill the vacuum. The fact that they slapped the N7 logo on <insert your own hero> is not helping to esablish the new protagonist as someone new, different and exciting to play.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

Holiday 2016 is far away. Day 1 that's for sure.

 

[pantsonhead]

Cool song choice, I dig the theme they're going for with the first part if it translates to the game itself.

And so the cycle begins. People are gonna drool all over the graphics and then be outraged when it inevitably gets downgraded.

That's my secret, I expect it to look half as good and will probably play it happily anyway.

 

[UnluckyKate]

so far ? getter be fucking amazing

 

[Uthred]

The only thing of interest to me is the implication of a sci-western aesthetic, which the visible tech and character undermined. I wish games would stop making content free announcements so far in advance

 

[neojubei]

i hope there is a bad ass ship with no mining and epic space battles
