I thought Fem Ryder was supposed to be on the box art?
I mean I guess that could be her, but the back shot is kind of a cheap way out.
I'm talking the deluxe

 

[Tovarisc]

So they aren't going to use the female model as lead marketing model ? I am quite shocked.

That art could go either way. It's just helmet.

Not sure how you can see if it's male/female from that shot.

Only thing for certain it's no krogan.

I think both characters, male and female will be leads. They are brothers after all, both are canon at the same time. (Or maybe not, who knows)

F this cover art. Looks terrible.

I can't unsee a volus at the back of his helmet.

I like this cover. Now it won't look weird to you if you customize your main character.

I always played default Shep but I imagine the original trilogy covers look weird if you didn't.

 

[Adry9]

Standard Edition cover looks great, better than the Deluxe one IMO

this is one of those destiny cases where i can't tell if he's looking forward or back

 

[Jarmel]

The regular edition cover is trash. Deluxe is super nice.

I was talking about this cover:

 

[SliChillax]

That cover raises some questions. Is that the citadel?

 

[SargerusBR]

One of the Arks

I think he was referring to the normal edition art, with the dude facing away from the camera. Similar design to Inquisition's cover art though, facing away with a helmet on, so yeah it's a guy for promotional material but at least it's not a guy with a specific face like Sheperd was.

 

[Chase Lebowski]

That standard cover is damn ugly. The helmet reminds of the Warlock helmet you get in the KF raid in Destiny.

 

[HardRojo]

Omnitool!

 

[Patryn]

That cover raises some questions. Is that the citadel?

Almost definitely an Ark.

I doubt the Citadel is in the game.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

How would they explain language going into a new galaxy?

Temba, his arms wide!

 

[purseowner]

I was talking about this cover:

Still looks gender neutral to me.

 

[Tovarisc]

I was talking about this cover:

Even that could go either way, even when stance of Ryder is somewhat masculine.

Edit:

How would they explain language going into a new galaxy?

Temba, his arms wide!

English is language of all existence everywhere, didn't you know?

 

[Lifejumper]

That standard cover is damn ugly. The helmet reminds of the Warlock helmet you get in the KF raid in Destiny.

I think the helmet also looks like a planet? pretty cool actually.

 

[X-Frame]

I like the standard box art way better than the Deluxe.

 

[big_erk]

Mass Effect is my favorite game series of all time. Even the ending of 3 didn't dampen my enthusiasm for it. I am more than stoked for this game.

 

[theWB27]

They got a translator from nasa

Yeah it's a pretty cool way of working in the Horizon.

Is the deluxe edition for EA games usually just the game + season pass?

 

[Darkstorne]

Random capitals annoy me beyond belief. But I'm curious about this part:

"Lead the First Humans in Andromeda on a Desperate Search for our New Home."

Why is it desperate? What's wrong with all the BILLIONS of planets in our own galaxy? And is this a struggle for humans only, or are they pulling a Mass Effect 3 marketing approach, and really it's something that affects all species?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Depends. The Deluxe for Dragon Age Inquistion was just extra worthless DLC and no Pass if I recall.

 

[Zolo]

I'm pretty sure their plan is to use a gender-neutral cover like Inquisition did.

 

[mcdomination]

I want a trilogy remaster more than a new game, its kinda weird. Keeping expectations of Andromeda extremely low so I don't get disappointed.

I feel exactly the same. The ME trilogy is a story/game I can always go back to!

 

[tearsintherain]

you can pre order at best buy and I bet the amazon and gamestop versions will go up in an hour, but there really isn't any point in pre ordering right now and I am 99.99999% sure more editions (CE, N7, etc) will be released as well

*cough*

 

[SprachBrooks]

Me too. I live in the UK, does anyone know what time they'll be revealing shit?

 

[SprachBrooks]

*cough*

They're using this cover art as influence but showing that a good game also accompanies it...

 

[Phamit]

No, deluxe Edition is usually Game + some bonus stuff like skins, multiplayer stuff and sometimes the soundtrack

5 PM GMT

i dunno if i can call this my favorite series, but Me2 is definitely my favorite game. so yeah...I got a Ps4 pro preordered and I'll be playing this on that next year.

Tekken 7, Me4, Yakuza 0, Persona 5...Horizon Zero Dawn

Q1 is too crowded yo

 

[Harlequin]

Can anyone explain the story behind the MS Paint pic in the OP ?

 

[Xando]

Uhm you remember that whole reaper thing?

Don't quote me on this, but from what I recall .. the story of this game starts with Shepard and the earth crew sending off these Andromeda guys to find new hospitable planets in Andromeda while or before the Reaper invasion begins.

I guess that's why it's a desperate struggle.

 

[Ascenion]

I was talking about this cover:

That's pretty clearly a man. Especially if you compare the arms to the leaked GameInformer art. The standard cover is far more ambiguous.

If fans theories are correct, the Arks are in response to the Reaper threat. As the Reapers would be cleansing the Milky Way, they had to go to another galaxy.

 

[Killthee]

LOL, no. It'll be a weapon pack, a free mp chest, a mini art book or mini ost, and if we're lucky 1 DLC pack/squad mate.

 

[spekkeh]

Agreed.

 

[Sou Da]

Neither of those covers depict the player character.

Did you actually play through the ME trilogy?...

 

[Sou Da]

LOL, no. It'll be a weapon pack, a mini art book or mini ost, and if we're lucky 1 DLC pack/squad mate.

They don't do those anymore.

 

[Crawl]

for $20 extra? Yuck.
