Mass Effect: Andromeda

[Legal]

There are rumors of a supposed trilogy remaster. If true, and if it does well, I can only hold hope for a potential new instalment in the series. Mass Effect universe is probably my favorite fictional universe of any entertainment medium.

If not, just gotta hope that someone picks up the baton with an adequate clone

I'd absolutely LOVE for there to be a new game, but that day isn't coming until a good while from now.

Bioware has whatever the new version of Anthem is going to be in the works, plus ongoing support for it, along with the next Dragon Age, which judging from the PowerPoint slideshow ass video they had yesterday at Gamescom, isn't going to be ready for quite some time either.

We're stuck waiting. And as much as I'd enjoy playing remasters (especially in the outside chance they can get 4K/60), I sometimes think that would just make the waiting more painful.

The remaster hold up is inexcusable imo

new consoles coming out already

The one thing EA needs to stop doing is forcing the internal use of Frostbite. I remember reading during the development of Anthem that BioWare struggled with repurposing the engine for games like Andromeda and Anthem because it’s primarily an engine for FPS and a lot of dev time and manpower went into adding basic functionality. I get they want to use their devs as ads for their engine and make money off of licensing it, but if the shyt don’t work, the shyt don’t work.

can you guys imagine a Mass Effect game running on UE5

I better stop daydreaming and come back down from the clouds

Yeah, at this point, they might as well be talking about a cross gen remaster.

Nah, breh. They don't give a shyt about licensing out Frostbite. They're really just looking to avoid paying any licensing fees for Unreal Engine.

What's sad is that Epic's fee for games that make over $1,000,000 is 5%. On some of these games, it might've been worth it just to have kept production costs down.

Saw this after I posted my last post. I don’t know then maybe all this news is fuzzy. I’m literally seeing from ME 2 on is EA and on my PHYSICALLY copy of ME 1, there are no EA logos or association on it.


Who knows.

Microsoft owned and published ME1, that's why there was no EA logo on it. Years later, I think after ME3, Microsoft sold the rights to EA that's why ME1 came to PS3.

I think that EA vaulted this into a trilogy when it could've been a franchise with legit staying power across multiple generations. So yeah, it peaked with 2 and 3 but it damn sure didn't have to.

The problem is that Bioware always intended for Mass Effect to be a trilogy even before EA bought them but Bioware never planned out the full story for the trilogy. This is why ME1's story is the most consistent and ME2 doesn't feel like a full sequel. They didn't plan out ME2 early on so they started writing it after ME1 came out.

By Andromeda they wanted to get away from the original trilogy and somewhat start fresh after the ME3 debacle.

Let's not act like Mass Effect 3 wasn't fantastic aside from the very end. The game play was incredible and polished. The story up until the very end was incredible. It was so fukking good. The whole game gets shyt on because of how the story ended. Yes it was outstandingly bad. But the game up until that was peak performance. Andromeda's gameplay and combat were even better. Story though.... Meh.

This was still an 8/10 game for me don’t care what anyone says

story and characters might not have been as epic/memorable as the other games but the core gameplay and exploration was excellent to me

 

[revan]

I actually started playing this again.

I wonder if we’ll ever get a new Mass Effect game

Eventually, yes. EA knows that doing it right will take awhile though. If the reported remaster drops this year I'd certainly expect to hear something in 2022.

Thought the same until I watched this video. What this dude says from a story standpoint makes sense, but I did have fun playing the game the first time...up until the end.

It's a long vid, I watched it in pieces.

I actually liked this game & wanted another one

Same thing with Titanfall series

Didn’t watch the video but you don’t need a neckbeard to tell you how to feel about a video game. If you liked it, you liked it

I need to know what happened to the Quarian Ark

And just exactly WHO is the Benefactor!?

yal asking questions they never intended to answer

fukking supercomputer in your head literally has the solution to everything in the game except the shyt they forgot to write

 

[old pig]

not a bad game so far…looks and plays great (XSX)…movements are more fluid…story is decent so far…granted it’s very early…only grievance is my character kinda looks like tyler perry…the limited hair/beard options didn’t help either
