Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer

Holiday 2016

I'm not a fan of the new armour design at all, black/red is a way overused colour scheme in games and products aimed at young men in general now days, I see it everywhere, especially gaming peripherals like headphones and such. It reminds me of the gaudy over-styled look to the Spartan armour in Halo 4/5.

I also don't like this trend in game trailers of combat being depicted like a superhero movie, it's too exaggerated and floaty. I much prefer a tactical and grounded style of combat, like how Mass Effect was originally presented back in 2007. The protagonist leaping into the air to pound down on some enemies is a painfully generic game trailer cliche, I wish they would stop using it.

Calling it now, jetpacks are going to be the Mako thrusters of ME4 i.e. embarrasingly weak, enough to only get you a short little hop, and only fun when you mod them to be ridiculously overpowered.

Goddammit, they've gone and spent their entire budget licensing a Johnny Cash song. This is going to be Oblivion all over again, isn't it? That was fun "Oh, they've got Patrick mother-loving Stewart to play the emperor, this is going to be AWESOME!"

If it gives this series the long awaited jump button, I'll be happy either way. Hovering in a shooter usually just leaves you a moving target, but a quick hop or even some grounded boosts would add new options to fights.

gently caress me. Johnny Cash made that trailer 200% better and it is the Only Actual Good poo poo so far. But then again Cash makes anything badass so

And perhaps finally this thread may have some peace with lots of speculation for a different game :v:

Bet they're gonna go for some sort of open world thing like they did in DA3 which is just a horrible slog that the game would've been better off without.

Their emphasis on "exploration" makes me think this is exactly what they're going for. Beautiful and boring, and the inability to progress the story without asking yourself aloud, "Is this what I'm doing with my life?"

But as long as I'm able to kill off my love interest again I'll be happy.

Bioware is doing a retcon while not doing a retcon posted:

While we aren’t ready to go into too many details just yet, as you saw in the trailer and can tell by the name, this game is very much a new adventure, taking place far away from and long after the events of the original trilogy.

http://blog.bioware.com/2015/06/15/introducing-mass-effect-andromeda/

"long after" and "far away from" is pretty much "ok best to start again elsewhere" while moving as quickly as possible from the events of 3.

It may end up with lots of "well that milky way place sure ended up like something heh" *wink wink nudge nudge* like Dragon Age: Inquisition but, what the hell, I can work with that

Oh yeah, I hope they have some mention of how Robert Shepard saved the universe from the Reaper threat by destroying them using the crucible. We are in andromeda looking for a few reapers that got away.

I'm imagining scenarios.

So a whole bunch of colony ships went to Andromeda (to escape the Reapers or whatever) and have settled around using conventional FTL and coldsleep, spreading out all over. You are now coming along behind them to lay down the Mass Relay rail road to the west coast.

Certainly would gel with the whole "frontier" vibe the announce trailer was sporting. Most likely the colonists will run into a thus far undiscovered race in the process and have some sort of first contact war scenario.

But the main thing is I get to toss blue poo poo and lay the pipe to some mostly humanoid alien strange, aww yiss.
