The only problem with the graphics is the gamma or contrast. It seems too bright and flat, needs more pop. Does this have HBAO+ on PC? That would help a lot.

It indeed seems like the Gamma is set way high in that Nexus video

It has an 1800p checkerboard mode and Shinobi said a high visuals 1080p mode
Hope they release some more information prior to release. Maybe a blogpost or so
Would kill for a 60fps PS4 mode

But Origin also has achievements and you can get the 10 hour trial which starts on the 16th on PC. If your PC is powerful enough, you'll also have 60fps and more graphics options.

Why are you actively trying to dissuade him from buying the PS4 version of the game? 0.0 I'm sure he's old enough to make his own decisions.

Because he said that he wanted achievements and I thought that he didn't know that the PC version has them also.
I don't really care which version i play but if i can get the full game 4-5 days earlier i'm definitely going with the PS4 version.
Gonna use origin access to determine whether to go with male/female ryder
Yeah something wrong with the gamma setting of the video capture, or the Nexus as a very weird lightning. I don't remember that problem in the other video and screenshot.

That's because people want bad UX and QOL from those games.
But at least Pillars has a combat system designed for real time rather than turn based combat, so it did improve on dumb unitinutive shit from the Infinity Engine games.

Lol, as an ex-WoW player, that's great.

Where did you see this?
Ian Frasier's twitter, he put it up to explain that weapon nicknames can be really long.

Woah did someone say Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
sorry

I doubt it's in the game but weapon colour customization along with the naming system would've been pretty nice.

It isn't complete unless you add "anal" before Thunderfury.
Vintage Heatsink is exciting! I'm no game dev but it always bothered me how they entirely gave up on trying to make the ME1 style ammo system even work. It was something wholly unique to shooters that you didn't have to watch your ammo. Every other PvE shooter has to rain down ammo or spawn adds to give you ammo to make sure you don't run out.

Yeah it was fun managing the levels of heat. It made things unique and gave the game personality and added more to the lore. Good stuff.
Are beam weapons the only ME1 style weapon we're getting? No regular assault rifles?
In the nexus video they just put out they showed a mod called "Vintage Heatsink" Effect said that ammo regenerated over time. Not quite the same but its something I guess, I would imagine it works for any weapon but at the cost of possibly more damaging mods.

They showed a Mattock and the Avenger so far, maybe someone can point out other Milky Way assault rifles from the videos.
Black Widow sniper, Tempest SMG, Katana/Crusader/Disciple and Piranha Shotguns are also in as well as the M3 Predator and Carnifex pistols.
I want the Harrier but that seems like a weapon designed around ME3 and probably wouldn't make sense to be in the game.

Pretty sure Frazier already said there was no weapon color customization, armor only. I think it's similar to ME3 where the tint changes slightly based on the mods you have installed.
Tempest SMG got renamed. You can find a list of weapons in that doc I linked earlier. https://docs.google.com/document/d/...tMqvEBx4_NgGTkNXc/edit#heading=h.6f3ylh1xn084

I'm looking at the doc but everything except the Charger and the Equalizer are already known quantities. Where did they confirm the Tempest was renamed and if so why?
It was changed because bioware remembered that Ryder's ship was also named Tempest....
It was in the combat and weapons trailer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrWgLMH8yRU
I imagine it's because of the ship also being named the Tempest.
Oh wise shinobi, have you heard of any day 1 patch that could potentially fix some of the facial animation? That last Nexus video was a bit disappointing on that front(especially the woman npc dead expression), not to mention the whole lip thing going on in there :
If this was really intended, you would see this everywhere, but it's not the case... so it almost look like a bug.
I'm not expecting perfect animations, but i'm getting a little distracted by these, even though I was ok with the trilogy ones most of the time.

Same here bisnic. As soon as I saw that animation I knew it was a bug, it was visually distracting so I'm glad it's getting fixed.

Disciple is back too, yeeeessss
That's good to know!
Wait, we can't select our weapons? Classes come with predefined ones? Or is that just for the demo?
Hmm now I get the Krogans weird eyes complaints, I think they are changed to be more reptile-like than human sentient.
Not locked, yup it is for the demo
I think they just look darker under most lighting condition but otherwise they are very similar. They always were reptile-like.

Didn't see this linked before, apologies if I missed it, but this is a pretty good interview with one of the producers:

https://www.vg247.com/2017/03/08/ma...ike-that-you-probably-shouldnt-play-the-game/
Is that the first time they openly say that
the Andromeda Initiative is made to escape the Reaper ?!
Hmm from the pics here maybe because we could see their pupils in the ME1-3 and Drack shots.

I think it's just the lighting and/or that particular MP model. Kesh's eyes look normal to me?
Yeah I think you're right, probably the current-gen lighting hides the pupils in some scenes.
What mp bullshit?

Not sure what he's referring to particularly, but the super deluxe edition doesn't really seem like a great value proposition for most people, even those who expect to dig deep into the multiplayer.
It's not but that was known when they announced that version, so I'm not sure what he's complaining about.

From ME3? It's the same as ME3 and that's how they make all the DLC free so...
Yep I was just thinking that. It works well, too: official reasons are different for obvious reasons but behind the scenes there's a motive that explains leaving the whole galaxy.
