Finally! Here's the Long Awaited Mass Effect: Andromeda Gameplay Trailer

Post by KostaAndreadis @ 03:22pm 02/12/16 | 16 Comments

And in it we get to see space stuff, planet stuff, outpost stuff, vehicle stuff, and even Spectre-power stuff! Built on the Frostbite engine, in a lot of ways what we see looks like a cross between Mass Effect 3: The "Final" One and Dragon Age: Inquisition. The combat is fast, fluid, and intense, and the video showcases quite a few different encounters. The exploration also looks to be more involved -- and includes things like collecting minerals and crafting materials.

Plus, the return of the glorious Galaxy Map.

Mass Effect Andromeda has a tentative release window of Autumn 2017.

I have no idea why there's another human here, seemingly running some sort of racket. It dilutes the whole "first to explore the Andromeda galaxy" thing, and makes it redundant to be there to find a new home for humanity if other humans have already done so... otherwise, looks cool

Looks like they've combined Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Witcher 3 - investigating crimes with a visual scanner? Hello witcher senses.

I hope they do a original trilogy remaster.

Kind of agree but at the same time people on the outskirts of society are usually the first to colonize a new area and that's pretty typical for sci-fi especially. Except for Star Trek where there is a massive city planet just chilling in the middle of f*****g nowhere.

I hope they have genders for all races, still haven't seen a female version of Garrus yet. Then again the female versions for the frog people and the rhinos or whatever they are were pretty disappointing, they pretty much just added female voices and decided that was good enough.

my guess is that these are the remnants of the flagship that was sent to andromeda ahead of the 4 arks.

also, game looks f*****g great.

Really? How can you tell with out any voice acting? Because it looks exactly like f*****g Garrus so I guess they still haven't put any effort into that part of the character design.

- Seems interesting and I like that fact this trailer shows gameplay. Running on the Frostbite engine is cool too.

- I am not sure what exactly is supposed to be going on story wise. This is an expept from the wiki page.

The game takes place 600 years after the events of the first three Mass Effect games,[10] in the Andromeda Galaxy. The player character's intergalactic journey began during the time in which Mass Effect 2 takes place, separating the new setting from the events of the third game.[11] Players choose from either a male or a female sibling with the other continuing to feature in the story. They are the children of Alec Ryder – an N7 special forces soldier – and designated as a Pathfinder, an operative tasked with discovering new planets for the Human species to colonize. They will explore an open world galaxy aboard the starship Tempest.

600 years is a long time to not find a planet to crash on. Are they couch surfing or something? Is it difficult for first planet buyers to get a planet these days? Or do we already have a colony in the Andromeda galaxy and we are looking for a summer holiday planet?

For a second there in the trailer, Fem-Ryder looked cross eyed.

the trip to andromeda takes 600 years and they're in stasis for the whole trip.

No doubt there's a planet crisis/bubble and it's virtually impossible for first time planet buyers to get into the market, unless they've got intergalactic empire money.

Do we need gender equality in Alien races in video games as well?
Are we even sure an alien race would have 2 sex's, why not 1 or many?

Yeah, I don't really care from a gender equality pov, its just nice to have more variation and to have that sort of stuff accounted for just rounds out the world better. I don't really care what the explanation is, whether a race has one gender, many genders, no genders, or whether male and female look the same like with the krogans, just the fact that its been taken into account makes for better world building. I got no problem with male and female krogan looking the same and humans being unable to distinguish them, cos I mean, that makes sense, they're an entirely different species. I can't look at like a dolphin and tell if its male or female either, but I'm sure other dolphins have no trouble.

As Long as you have somewhere to put it, it's all good.
