Mass Effect: Andromeda

The worst thing about this is how boring it all looks. I once was so invested in the ME universe but this all looks so bland. The bad voice work, the bad script, the side characters look like a revisit from the trilogy but just worse in every single way.

Wait, there's an AI? But this team left Earth before Mass Effect 3? When AIs were the most outlawed entities in the galaxy?

Nice attention to detail there.

Have to agree, to summarise the feelings I got from that trailer I will use the phrase 'Shitty boy band flick'

Info from PC Gamer UK March Issue -

I'm kind of unsure about this whole game. It looks like it could potentially be very good but also potentially terrible, which I suppose is Bioware in a nutshell. Fingers crossed though.

I think this looks good. That combat video is similar in pace to the ME3 MP. And by the looks there seems to be more scope for cross discipline builds.

Im going to start looking into suppliers for this. Are there any pre order bonuses? Best place to buy from?

Does it run at 60fps on consoles?

30fps on consoles :roll:

Seriously? :lol:

It's using Frostbite isn't it? Would have thought they would be able to get it running at 60 since the current-gen Battlefield games are there or thereabouts with the amount of gooseberry fool going on in those games.

EDIT: actually, forgot about Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Combat look far more slick than in previous vids.

I'll be going for PC with this though I'm tempted with it on PS4 just to see what Pro features it has.

It helps that the person playing wasn't a complete idiot this time.

For EA/Origin Access subscribers only.

EA plans to release a 10-hour trial of Mass Effect: Andromeda for Access subscribers.

The hefty trial of BioWare's sci-fi action RPG comes out on 16th March - five days before the full game comes out on 21st March in the US (it's 23rd in the UK). It'll surely let you make a decent dent in the game before it launches proper.

That is actually an amazing amount of demo, no doubt EA debated if it was too much. The thinking behind it must be that if people are not going to buy it after 10 hours play time they never will, but for others it might make them into definite buyers. For sure they will be able to measure which demo players convert to full game buyers, but what will be interesting is if the demo makes people who are new to the franchise buy the game.

Blimey, an early ten-hour play sounds really good. Mass Effect is a series that I have somehow completely avoided playing... I guess I should start that journey before looking at Andromeda. Should only take me a few years to play through the original trilogy.

Not sure why people are surprised, its standard practice for EA games now if you have EA Access.

I'm just glad that Sony is protecting me from such poor-value, anti-consumer schemes. A fiver a month for so many good free games, digital discounts and free ten-hour demos is just appalling.
