That "leak" was spot on:patrice:. What was good about Mass Effect was that everything was set-up, Citadel, Alliance, Council, Cerberus, hi-tech planets etc now this game will have a heavy emphasis on exploring barren lands and pretty much reset the thing to pre-mass effect 1 era which will allow them to make a new canon that will replace the old one :patrice:


It's not a reboot, it takes place in the same universe as "ME3". They've said this several times. It just has no ties to the original trilogy, for obvious reasons.

It's definitely a soft reboot, they've reset the main canon.

They haven't said that though. They've said it's the same universe.

I get what you're saying but for all we know the stories of the Protheans, Reapers, etc. are known across the universe but are called by different names in Andromeda.

The space exploration angle is something I'd like instead of a solider but it all comes down to the gameplay and story. Mass Effect 3 clearly had the best gameplay but the story :scust:. Honestly that's keeping me from buying this one but ill keep a look out for it in the coming months.

There better be an easter egg about Shepard single handedly offing a fukking Reaper at least :birdman: :ufdup:

That shyt was dope as fukk :noah:

Gameplay got better each ME game, but the story wasn't able to hold up the piff that was ME1. Let's see what they do now with this soft reboot. I don't need a story based on the original trilogy but they gotta give me a little bit of continuity when it comes to species and what they have been up to at least. When I meet a Krogan (confirmed by the spoilers) I wanna know what happened since their alliance with humans and a shout out to Wrex da GAWD :ufdup:

Mass Effect: Andromeda’s player character wasn’t in the teaser trailer
andromeda.jpg

There’s a bit of an explanation about what we can expect from Mass Effect: Andromeda.
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.
You will play a human, male or female, though that’s actually not the character you saw in the trailer (more on that later). You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw. And through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with.
Hm, so I can’t embrace my dream of playing as a Krogan, but at least there’s a whole new galaxy and we know this is taking place in the green/red/blue future. So that character in the teaser isn’t us – so who is it? Is it the man? I knew it was the man.
I’m far too excited for this game, and the fact that it’s only coming for the holidays next year makes it feel like forever away. Still, there are so many good games to play in the meantime, I’ll just need to distract myself with those. Just knowing that the trailer was built in the game engine, Frostbite, gives me hope that what we see might actually be what we get. C’mon Bioware, don’t let me down!

Bioware lost.

They care more about SJW/virgin pandering than the evolution of their product. ME1 was the worse ME gameplay and design wise:huhldup:
You guys are paying too much attention to the wrong things, the exploration was bad in all the ME games. Exploring isn't a bad thing(see fallout 3), but the way it was designed in ME:beli:that shyt was punishment:wtb:
I still hate how the game locks you in 1 of 6 classes, where the only thing that should matter is whether or not your a biotic, and pick your starting skills. It's the future your going to be using tech anyway:ohlawd:

Witcher is a breath of fresh hair tbh, there's no pandering I don't care if the cast is all-white, as long as they're focusing on the right things.. I don't think I'm picking up another Mass Effect, and I used to be a huge fan.

fukking Kaidan is a fakkit, he's dead in all my Mass Effect 1 playthroughs.

I give the same advise I've been giving since the sequels....wait till the reviews or even the Let's Plays, the series was butchered/b*stardized, etc, after ME1. EAware should take a lesson from The Witcher series, and actually incorporate people you've met from past games in a more meaningful way...instead of loyalty missions and wasted glory scenes wherein you watch your former teammates instead of participate with them

Dat Roche and Geralt Collabo :myman:

Thaler escort + Covert mission :youngsabo:

Dandelion mission :banderas:

whoo, that ME3 multiplayer was crack cocaine even though it was half assed. just imagine it but now it's whole assed :wow:


Probably the only thing I liked about ME3...played Horde mode daily, till they started nerfing everything..in an only PVE game, they managed to nerf every fun class/build to oblivion.

CDPR is doing a futuristic game Cyberpunk 2077. This might have me throw ME and Bioware to the bushes permanently.

Plus Fallout 4 by Bethesda looking like ME. :banderas:
