Future Releases: Mass Effect Andromeda

Forest_Ninja

The Mass Effect series was fantastic and I've been waiting find out what would become of it after the third. Mass Effect 3 seemed very final and had such little story content in comparison to the first and second that I was sure the developers were planning to move on to another series or simply retire.

The Andromeda trailer is a wonderful surprise and it appears that we can expect the same well-polished and fully immersive gameplay which we've grown accustomed to however we'll all need to upgrade our gaming systems!

I was hoping to see a Turian in addition to Krogan, Salarians, and Asari (I'm going to miss Garrus - and Brandon Keener's voice for that matter), but what we did see was gorgeous. The video was incredible.I read in a short press release that more info would follow this fall, I'm guessing for N7 Day. I hope it's sooner! I'm really excited to see more.

Wow, June 2016, I am necromancing instead of creating a new thread.
9 months for this game to finally hit.


And of course there is huge drama surrounding it.
A lot of it seems cool so far, but the animation team dropped the ball as well as the team who made the character creator. It is so limited and the presets so odd looking that I was tempted to give up on it and just stay with the the default characters. But I had to give it a try to see if I could tweak one of the presets into something that wouldn't break a mirror.


I will probably just stick with the default characters unless Bio-Ware updates the character creator.
That aside, I am really enjoying the game so far. It's a very beautiful game and I think I will enjoy the battle system once I am fully familiar with it. I am a little disappointed that the story seems to be very disconnected from what happened in back home with Shepard and the reapers. I thought they were fleeing the Milky-way to make sure humanity survived the reaper threat. Nope!

I actually could not resist chuckling.

I would be interested to know if anyone can watch the video and NOT laugh.

ps. you CANNOT turn the sound down - it has to be listened to with audio.

The audio, without the video, is funny.

It's Ok, I did enjoy it.
But I tried another play-through and simply lost interest. I played the original Mass Effect Trilogy over and over again.
The Original Mass Effect team did not create Andromeda. Bio-Ware handed it off to the team who was responsible for the original Mass Effect's multiplayer game. The original team went on to make a new game named Anthem.

Darn it. I wanted the Quarian DLC

@CK213 Montreal team also did Omega DLC (I dislike it Leviathan and Citadel were better)

The story of the Quarian Ark will be told in comics.

Note: Mass Effect franchise is also officially dead, Bioware team said they won't look back, they go forward with their new IP : Anthem.

Well, at least that's something. It's going to be hard representing Ryder in the comics though, because everyone has a different one. Mine's a blonde boy who romanced Gil.

I don't mind if ME is in the back burner now. The original trilogy has had closure for 5 years. And the story of Andromeda felt mostly complete (except for the Quarian Ark, of course). So I'm alright with moving on.

And I'd love to buy the original trilogy remastered if they ever decide to do it, as long as all the DLC is also included.

I'm sad Mass Effect was the only game which allowed me to customize the story of an Action RPG with a Sci-Fi theme.

That's not true. They have stated that they are shelving it for now but will likely come back. The team that made Andromeda however has been dispersed over other parts of Mass Effect etc.

It's sad though, as they also have stated that Andromeda will no longer get single player support which means no more dlc or patches.

I'm sure there will be a new IP in the future that has that same premise.

I can always go back to the original trilogy when I have time too. Commander Shepard rules.
