Electronic Arts and BioWare released today the launch trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. In Mass Effect: Andromeda, players are on a mission to find a new home for humanity and they will have to explore dangerous worlds, keep their crew alive, and unravel the mysteries of Andromeda.
Mass Effect: Andromeda will be powered by DICE’s Frostbite 3 Engine, and releases on March 21st.
Enjoy!

Why faces look so stupid? 15yo goldenboys, meh
You gotta give it to EA… they make really impressive anti pre-ordering ads.
You’d change your mind if oyu had their stocks
You mean the EA stock that keeps dropping, & only marginally spikes every once in a while?
Yeah……
Not really, no.
Ever heard of “betting against the market?”
hEAtler is making me rich.
I consider betting against the market as “betting against these capitalist c*cksuckers surviving the next few years without massive downsizing.”
😀
Good point.
I guess that means they’re just idiots, then 😀
Yup that and “take down the horror in dead space 3” really solidified EA’s marketing department as the worst in the world and they wonder why no one buys anything other than battlefield from them at this point.
And EA Sports, though that basically markets itself by this point, so they’re safe from the horrorshow-trainwreck-nightmare combo-pack that is the EA Marketing Department, in that regard at least.
Man crysis 3 trailer was… well the game was dramatic, but they made the trailer as if they were trying to sell saints row or something.
Seriously ea marketing department is run by idiots.
To be fair, the entire game was overwhelmingly idiotic, but yeah, that trailer…. LEGENDARY EPIC FAIL!
Seriously, the entire trailers industry, in regards to both video games & movies needs to rewind itself back about 50 years, & then go from there…. They can’t even qualify as “f*cking pathetic” anymore, this is just downright disgraceful.
Speaking of sh*t not worth watching;
Assassin’s Creed: 50 Shades of Brown.
remember how they utterly destroyed dragon age franchise with inquisition to a point where it’s another game right now? yeah well this isn’t different, dumbed down for console gamers and basically fuel for sjw festival, that’s how bioware rolls these days
“dumbed down for console gamers”
First “Mass Effect” was a Xbox 360 exclusive. It was migrated to PC one year later.
2007: Xbox 360
2008: PC
2012: PlayStation 3
Let’s correct that to dumbed down for ps3 gamers since, me2 was primarily made for them and it was garbage.
Huh?
First of all, the PS3 was considered to be maturely superior to the X360, which was the one that was hosting the overwhelming majority of immature CoD kiddies screaming through their f*cking headsets, so, between the two of them, if anyone would have actually bought a proper ME sequel, it would have been the PS3 crowd.
Secondly, why in the f*ck would they degrade an existing IP solely in order to satisfy the whims of a single platform, upon which they had no established fanbase what-so-ever. compared to the two upon which they’d actually built the IP on?
I mean, this is really nothing like the case of “consoles make more money than PC, so NOW WE ARE CONSOLE DEVVIES!” It’s just a case of EA mainstreaming the sh*t out of everything for maximum appeal (read: sales), much like how they defiled Dead Space.
Well, I am sorry but I have an extremely negative bias against playstation fanboys because n4g and their exclusives such as uncharted and the recent direction of God of War doesn’t instill much confidence in them as capable gamers either.
The moment Bioware was acquired by EA they died. Mass Effect 2 for me was horrible, after loving the sht out of ME1 when I played ME2 my disappointment knew no bounds, now I am just looking for anyone or anything to blame really. Its just it is playstation gamers who are most vocal support of ME2 and they also tend to sht on ME1 so you can’t really blame me for blaming them at this point.
Yeah, ME2 was bad by comparison to ME1, I agree, & the PS4 fanboys are a f*cking horrorshow, I completely agree there, too, but yeah, no correlation between the PS3 & ME2, sadly, that was just EA being EA.
That’s still nonsense. ME2 was released for PC & 360 in 2010, it didn’t come to PS3 until a full year later.
your brain capacity is laughably low, the fact that these nonsense you wrote make sense to you is a living proof of how limited your brain power is
bioware was a crpg developer, they develop action games now, EA owns them and they make deals with sony and microsoft, most key bioware devs left bioware because they had to make dumb games for you
“most key bioware devs left bioware because they had to make dumb games for you”
Just word no proof
he made a comment like that without knowing what bioware did before mass effect, that’s pretty stupid, i’m not your search machine, the fact that you need proof of bioware devs leaving one by one shows you either don’t know bioware or haven’t been in game industry so i don’t know why you’re doubtingquestioning something you don’t even know, either way do your own research
For your words,you need proof ,If not, your word is unfounded
I know everything about EA/Bioware,but leaving developers does not means that situation in studio is bad!
For example, you can see Rockstar games.
What about them?
Your arguments are making less & less sense with every post, mate.
if you mean Rockstar games….Yes they lose a lot of stuff especially Leslie Benzies …but it does not means that situation in studio is bad!
Give it until Red Dead 2, then you’ll have all the proof you need.
“I know everything about EA/Bioware” that statement itself is pretty much self explanatory.
you lack the ability to use google, how do you see your self capable of any knowledge?
if core and key developers of a studio leave by choice, it means they can’t do what they want to do anymore and they leave, it’s very basic.
for your last statement, i is see rockstar, does you see rockstar?
“core and key developers”
Leslie Benzies leave rockstar,so according to your word the situation in the studio is very bad !
“bad situation”, i’m sure you can come up with better words since my 4 year old cousin can do better, if someone leaves a company by choice yes, “situation” is unfavourable for him/her, lmao
i feel like i’m explaining how life works to an 8 year old
Oh he is right about that one, bioware is nothing like it used to be even devs from inqusition left the studio.
Are you, like, high, or something?
I have blocked him he keeps says nonsense.
Yeah, Mass Effect is a case of “trying to appeal to more people through casualisation” rather than “trying to appeal to the console crowd through casualisation”. There’s a subtle, albeit, distinct difference between the two that Mass Effect near-uniquely portrays, as it actually started off as a console-exclusive, rather than vice-versa.

Poor butt…..
Get used to saying that 😉
I wonder if he takes it ribbed…..
…. for maximum pleasure……
;D
Why not both :p
can’t tell if the sign holder is serious or not
I actually thought this was ok.
I love how female Ryder completely went off the recent gameplay and trailers since players bashed her for being ugly.
Horrible music, has nothing to do with the style of the old triology, even their trailer music was epic back then(Two Steps From Hell). No longer a surprise for anyone anymore all the movies and closed demos have a lot of hand holding, constant directions telling you what to do and it seems non stop jokes and happy happy joy joy comments from the team members during missions. The characters look cartoony (yes even the characters from Mass Effect 1 looked much better), the lipsync seems to have no chance to get fixed either, at least no in time for launch, and from early reports from IGN and several others, the PC port is poorly optimized and as an official metric, EA/Bioware advise a GTX 1060 to be able to play this game at 1080p 30 fps. Ridiculous, way to kill another great IP.
You can create your own cover though. I saw it on 3 world gameplay trailer by IGN. You might want to look at that trailer.
It looks good apart from stiff facial animation ( what’s up with that though? All previous frostbite games had amazing facial animation what went wrong with this one?). Definitely looking forward to it.
Not sure but the way I see it, the other frostbite games had mocap for faces, this one is just a system of expressions so they wouldnt have to mocap all the interactions.
Dragon age Inquisition had better facial expressions than this. I don’t think it had mocap.
Motion Capture costs…..
….. too much, nowadays, apparently.
Amazing animation at 0:58

OMG! A butt? I never! Good heavens, what has happened to humanity! Ohhh, sorrow……
Look at the hand.
Polygons… what are those?
That’s what I call extreme contortionist gymnastics!
;D
Mess Effect: Wrist Warping 😀
Yikes! Good catch haha.
I think you failed the G@y test in that trailer xD
Well launch trailer looked better
it looks so cliche and mainstream and standarized, like they are not even trying anymore, like they fart it out of a factory or soemthing.
This is going to be one of the biggest EPIC FAILS! of 2017, & definitely the biggest since No Man’s Lie.
😀
Hey atleast they are updating no mans lie with new content, on the other hand they gonna milk you dry with 45 dlcs for this game.
Tru dat.
Metacritic? What, you mean the shill “pro” critics who’ll auto-9/10 it because it says “BioWare” on the box cover after playing it for 20 minutes?
Or do you mean actual user rating, which has placed the past few BioWare games at an average of 5.5/10?
Also, not sure what sites you’re watching, but I’m seeing far more hate than hype, so….. yeah. It might actually sell well in the start, sure, but even if ti does, it won’t be long before those sales numbers cave in on themselves & this quickly f*cks off to some dark corner in order to die quietly.
Yes, ME1 & 2 are well rated, but those aren’t recent BioWare games, by any stretch of the definition. Sure, historically they’re part of the IP, but they’re not recent BioWare games, making them largely irrelevant to the question at hand.
Yes, ME3’s score is seriously crippled due to the ending, but the game itself was also only that good, regardless of the ending. Yes, it feeds into the greater problem that Metacritic’s User Scores are a joke, but at least they showcase a semi-accurate consensus of a game’s rating, unlike the critic score.
The same problem applies to the Steam, PlayStation Store, & Xbox Store scores, for that matter; people are less likely to openly hate on something they’ve actually paid for, without the possibility for a refund, since they don’t always want to admit they bought a piece of sh*t. Thus, instead, they decide to make a positive review, which skewers the overall score.
Or, alternatively, they just have really, really bad tastes, & actually believe the piece of sh*t they bought is an actually “quality” game, much like the shills that are still screaming about Uncharted 4, for example.
IMDB is another such case. Captain America: Civil War, for example, is extremely overrated, & there’s always a small army of people ready & waiting to either 1/10 or 10/10 new Comic Book Movies (depending on what Cinematic Universe they belong to) the moment IMDB opens the ratings, posting false reviews about how they “got into a preview showing” or some such bullsh*t.
Inquisition was, in some ways better than both of its predecessors, yes, that’s true, but overall, the ridiculously poor story, that horrifyingly bad launch & a few other things really, really served to bring it down hard.
As for video game critics, specifically; yeah, sorry, but they really are shills. WB was even caught paying for positive Shadow of Mordor reviews a few years back, & IGN routinely 9/10s even the most generic of stuff, while blasting Indie games to hell for being “not as good.” GameInformer, PC Gamer etc. are no longer objective review sites, & that’s only in part because they can’t be due to Publisher-mandated legally-binding NDA’s that only get lifted a few days before launch.
Do you know about that? Yeah, publishers generally send out review keys about 1-2 weeks before launch, & then give them until X date before launch to review the game, meaning they have, at best, a few days to clear an in-depth RPG, & then write up a review about it, which then has to be edited, re-edited, & then finally published upon THE date that the NDA lifts, or they lose views to other sites, & that was before ZeniMax-Bethesda started denying review keys before launch, in order to purposefully hide how bad their games have gotten.
Fallout 4 got anything between an 84 to an 88 from critics on Metacritic, yet the actual community consensus is that it’s a f*cking joke, but you’re telling me that critics are still objective? Come on. Every time Star Wars comes out, they basically have to rate it well, since it’s expected. Seriously, when the Prequel Trilogy first came out, critics actually f*cking praised it, each & every time. Why? “Because Star Wars”, & that’s with movies. With video games, it’s even worse, since you’re slave to a publisher’s whims in regards to review keys.
Do you know how many publishers have blacklisted DSOG because they don’t shill? It’s basically standard practice. Bad reviews = blacklist = no more free game codes. In light of that, all I can say is, good luck staying objective, especially if you’re a major site, with a lot more to lose than just review codes (developer interviews, exclusives, etc. etc. etc.).
Not to mention, most of the aforementioned major sites came out very much (overwhelmingly so, even) in favour of the entire GamerGate debacle, which means that’s yet another reason for them to not be objective on any game what-so-ever riddled with Social Justice bullsh*t, as Andromeda looks quite likely to be.
“What, you mean the shill “pro” critics who’ll auto-9/10 it because it
says “BioWare” on the box cover after playing it for 20 minutes?”
Stop bashing IGN, ign did nothing wrong, leave Britney alone!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 😀
that ending, the dlc preactises, forced mp, sprites, ripping assets from other media.
Of course this will be highly acclaimed by “critics” just like Dragon Age Inquisition.
SJWs will love it.
what is SJW?
youtube it
social justice warriors
a fantatic group composed of rabid feminists
black lives matter activists and LGBTQHELICOPTER crazies
your average mentally ill liberal who would vote for hillary in short
LOL, sounds like the ARMY… (I’m a quartermaster btw) Yeah, so basically it’s some politico activists.. I stand neutral. I am from Boston… 🙂
Neutrality sounds nice but in the end goal when you get the SJW to affect movies, music, video games and whatnot you know they’re trying to take over our media and fill it with their twisted vision
you already got games like Mafia 3 that have you go around and murder white southerner people “to free black women”
you got games like dragon age inquisition where every single person is a queer, a lesbian or a tranny and being straight is the minority
and your only option of straight romance in that vile game is either a angry feminazi or a tan-skinned chick who literally have no impact on the story
lets not forget the movie producers do a godawful feminist remasters (ghost busters) and oppress american developers to cave in to their demands (design the women to be more to “their” standards, uglifying them for the sake of their propaganda)
i always thought this whole feminism craze would just die in a few years, but it’s getting worse and worse
the people must take a stand
I don’t. I served for your beliefs, same as thiers. I wish they had more movies about guys like me. They dont. If they did, I don’t think you’d buy it, thus the reason there isn’t any. All I get is some really black guys representing me in minority portrayals, such as BF1. Sorry you feel so “effected”. Lol… Being Cape Verdean is the biggest minority in existance, and we have been here since colonial times.. I am a quartermaster, IT admin, worked for many forbe companies, have been responsible for data centers, devices, workstations that millions of dollars and blood have built. Where’s my pictures of heroism, life, drama, and purpose? just military… Oh well, my real life is better anyways.. 🙂 lol.
it doesn’t really “affect” me in any possible way
but when reputable franchises like Mafia go from a Mob simulator
to a SJW simulator i take issue with that
likewise when you get Black Germans on BF1 multiplayer (and don’t give me the “colonies” excuse because the battles happen in central Europe)
i really expected a more linear story of the hellfighters, but all we got is tiny short 8 mintue presentation that is basiclly on rails
and not a tiny mention of the French army (which where the hellfighters served, since Americans didn’t want “negros” serving in their squad)
Pro “let’s give special rights (read: not equal, but actually, specifically, superior rights) to non-white males in response to perceived “White Male Crimes” against these alleged “minorities” throughout history, is the short version. Oh, & if you disagree with their views, you’re automatically branded a racist-bigot-homophobe that should be shamed into oblivion. Period.
For the long version….. Meh, I’m not that bored right now.
Haha too funny ?
Don’t listen to him,he is an EA haters
Everything for him is s..t especially when it was from EA.
Mass Effect 1, Dead Space 1, Battlefield 2, Mirror’s Edge (OG), um…..
Well, anyway, point being, yeah, post-buyout DICE & BioWare suck, & that’s basically a consensus amongst most people, you know.
Oh, & I don’t need to say “EA is sh*t”, EA is recognised as being sh*t. Just ask the people who voted it “Worst Company of America” for 2 years in a row.
“Worst Company of America”We talk about now,not past!
But!
“Worst Company of America” lol you don’t know anything about!
EA was Worst Company of America in 2012 and 2013 because of his astronomical loans and bad management from John Riccitello…Look what’s happened to EA after Andrew Wilson…(But I agree 2012 and 2013 was the worst year for EA)
Look to this year,Activision Listed Among “World’s Most Admired” Companies;Why?because Activision with a game profit a lot of money…So you can’t say EA is Worst Company of America because of his astronomical loans and bad management in 2012 and 2013….
About Bioware…Your a hater..I agree you can not see the good work..In 2014 a game from Bioware won GOTY and big winner of years…Sorry but they do nothing wrong…
You like MS1,this is your opinion,I respect it but you can not say because you love MS1,MS2 was s..t and bioware destroyed it while while the game was an epic game…
“EA was Worst Company of America in 2012 and 2013 because of his astronomical loans and bad management from John Riccitello”
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
“Look what’s happened to EA after Andrew Wilson”
They got even worse? Right, good point!
“Look to this year,Activision Listed Among “World’s Most Admired” Companies;Why?because Activision with a game profit a lot of money…So you can’t say EA is Worst Company of America because of his astronomical loans and bad management in 2012 and 2013….”
I’m really not much for repeating myself, but in this case…… yeah, I just have to;
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh wow, hey guys, listen up; BioWare won Game of the Year! This mean they’re actually a good studio! Yeah! Totally! Because, you know, the VG Awards is a respected, time-honoured institution like the Oscar, or the Emmy, right? Oh, wait, no it isn’t! It’s actually a big f*cking joke that wh*res itself out to the highest bidder! 😮
Come on mate, for f*ck’s sake. VG Awards are a joke.
Uh, it was a linear, 3rd-person cover-based shooter that stripped out so many of the RPG elements, BioWare literally had to compromise with the fanbase in their 3rd entry, to the point wherein they went as far as making 3 completely different gameplay modes in order to satisfy everyone. Yeah, they f*cked up hard with ME2, mate, & they got away with it (partly) by still having a damn good story in it, unlike ME3.
By the way, is Latin not your primary alphabet, or is your space bar broken?
I do not waste my time with you,you did not accept anything,Awards,metacritic and …you just accept your ridiculous statement ..
You’re drunk, can’t you see the truth..Go home 😉
Yeah, okay kiddo, keep telling yourself that, as it obviously seems to make you feel better to continue living in your little bubble of delusion, rather than waking up & joining the rest of us here, in reality.
Ah, the good old blue pill, eh?
Look,Go home ,Okey? You have to open your eyes and see what is the truth…you are a hater no more 😉
throw away your hate,See the truth and ejnoy EA games like me..(500h in BF1,4,H.20H Unravel,more 300h in FIFA16,17….and all ea games….)
….
I do not waste my time with you any more.
Got to love guys like this.
They’re just priceless, especially their “holier than thee” logic that they use.
Just glorious.
Thanks for the laughs, mate.
EA is losing alot of hits lately.
Nope…he come back 😉
With, what, precisely? People are smart to their game, now, nobody’s selling out to them anymore, so they’re not getting any new IPs &/or studios to defile. At the same time, their existing IPs & studios are being crushed under the weight of the beast known as Corporate EA.
BioWare is facing yet another mediocrity, most likely followed by severe downsizing, & DICE is reduced to copy/pasting the same game over & over, with a different skin. If 2143 is their next game, they’ve got one more Battlefield left in them, otherwise, they’re f*cked, & Battlefront likewise only has 1-2 entries before people realise it’s a scam, so……
Yeah.
It’s not a case that most good developers left out at Bioware during the the development of Andromeda. This situation remind me Destiny.
“. Third person cover shooter in an open world?”
Why not it exists? Look at gta, the problem with the combat is not that its open world or cover based, the problem is that it looks clunky slow, tankish and the whole game seems to be “what we did in the last 3 games but now with bigger maps”
” I mean, nobody wants a pieces of walls scattered all over the place”
This is exactly what this looks like, empty large maps and a small area of cover chest high walls for some pew pew to take place.
“there’s no “meat” to this combat after watching the gameplay. It’s essentially just this floaty system where nothing feels grounded.”
Exactly
Getting the popcorn ready to watch this trainwreck of a game.
What do you think will be so wrong with the game?
Everything
Bioware.
Just 11 more days, Can’t wait!
Her avatar face is swollen due to the allergic reaction of being in a crap fest EA game
Literally..HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS GORGEOUS WOMAN SO UGLY EA..
Like…How?
pandering to feminists
or they skimped out on Mo-cap which is unlikely (because the aliens look great)
Looks better than my initial first impression. Storywise at least.
Bioware’s 3d model team was incompetent or alcohol-poisoning-grade drunk.
Do you recall the 2012 report of the old woman who vandalized a Spanish church’s 100+ year old fresco with her horrendous, toddler-grade painting skills? She, of course, thought she was a painting genius and didn’t realize her incompetence until it was too late.
…if that woman doesn’t have a job at Bioware, it looks like she’s more than qualified.
Nice Gollum voice
If it’s any consolation, i read the comments first and I was expecting it to pound my a$$ and completely insult the fanbase. As you can see only one of those things happened for me.
Oh….
Well, you know, if you wanted an asspounding with a hard wooden paddle, all you really had to do was ask 😛
Hey 7th, I found you & Mr. Clause a new playmate!
I want you.
O.O
This one’s for you, btw (wait for approval if it doesn’t show);

Yup, there’s nothing like the feeling that a sword is a sword and a human is a human. All with its respective weight. It delivers loads of immersion to games. Sadly, too many productions nowadays use animations with a laughable number of frames and make characters run around like flies. Is it because they are lazy? Or try to cater to impatient kids?
Considering how even Rocksteady sped up combat in Arkham Knight (by increasing movement speed), made takedowns easier, & near-completely destroyed the stealth portions with sh*tty environments, I have to say….. both.
this game is gonna be worst than inquisition
thanks
