Honestly, I don't think we'll see much of the krogan or the quarians. Both are probably too hampered by their circumstances to field a significant number on this mission.

Regardless, he is a gameplay designer, not someone involved in narrative. His opinions are divorced from his ability to code, so Jack is just trying to stir poo poo up.

So, since they passed on a release date during the awards show, are there any upcoming big gaming events where they could do the reveal? The only other huge thing I think they could do is another Super Bowl ad.

The Iron Rose posted:Destroy and Control are legitimately good/interesting choices, if nothing else. The ME3 ending would be way better if there simply wasn't a way to get synthesis. Now that we know the premise of Andromeda, I think low EMS Destroy is my favorite option. Burn it all down.

You're right. They probably got a pretty good return in terms of eyes on their product for just posting a series of images to facebook and twitter everyday. Maybe you have a future in marketing, kid.

exquisite tea posted:That would be a very comforting, very diplomatic thing to say if you didn't want to burn bridges with your former employer. Just saying. Either way the game was pushed back another half a year after the departures of Chris Schlerf and Cameron Harris last March, so you be the judge. Or people can mean what they say, and you are trying to construct a narrative without anything to support it. In fact, Dragon Age has brought a freelance writer for the next game. He will likely leave before the game is complete. So, the fact that Schlerf and a freelance editor left isn't concerning if Bioware is leaning towards bringing in new writers temporarily.

marshmallow creep posted:"Bouncing around" makes it sound like they're passing it off on each other He's probably talking about the Edmonton and Austin studios helping out as well. However, Edmonton probably just helped generating assets for the open world stuff since art is the biggest bottleneck in development. And Austin? I don't know, they work on an online game so maybe multiplayer back end?

[quote= Aaryn Flynn] Last I checked, we were like other Frostbite games on PS4 and XBox One - 1080p and 900p respectively. All are at 30 fps. PC has uncapped framerate. I think we've even gotten over the 30 fps cap in cutscenes, but I'll double-check in the next couple of weeks. [/quote] Pretty much expected consoles, unfortunately. I'm glad they resolved that cutscene garbage on PC though.

Thor-Stryker posted:I keep thinking about how much better ME3 would be if you were just building up space/ground forces to survive/kill the Reaper threat instead of the McGuffin Star Child. Yeah, I always thought it'd be cool if you could spend your war assets/score on upgrades for the final confrontation instead of them just being static. Things like reconstructing the canon that created the derelict reaper in ME2 or fitting ships with weaponry reversed engineered from Sovereign. As unbeatable as the reapers were meant to be the entire series is based around how far off schedule "doomsday" is this time around, and they never really play that up.

Looking at the Prima guide for ME:A, it looks like it is a little more than 100 pages larger than the Inquisition guide. What I'm saying is, it's a 100 pages of crafting material locations and recipes.

Milky Moor posted:But I guess someone said earlier that this is normal for Bioware so it's fine. It's not, of course - go back and look at any previous Bioware release - but, hey. Yeah, it's not normal for Bioware. But it is the new normal for EA imitating Bethesda. For example, going by some tweets Mike Laidlaw made, we probably won't hear a peep about the existence of the next Dragon Age until 6 months before release. Not that I agree with it, but that's the way it is now I guess? Fortunately, the EA/Origin Access will hopefully keep from imposing release date review embargoes like Bethesda.

JawKnee posted:I may be mis-remembering this, but didn't DA2 have a really lackluster marketed release? Also, how far back are you looking here? I don't remember a huge campaign for NWN for example, but I was fairly young then. I think it starts with EA-Bioware and not prior to that. The Violence trailer ("the new poo poo") for Dragon Age: Origins was the beginning for big marketing for Bioware titles. And even though DA2 was bad, it had pretty extensive trailers and marketing.

Drifter posted:I actually kinda like this direction because it keeps the hype from getting No-Man's-Sky out of hand. It's kind of nice there's not a shitton of hype. I agree with this, hype-trains and raising the expectation of the consumer with over-promising is a bad thing. But, to answer your question, I don't like it because a business (of any kind, not just gaming) should be transparent about what their product is without a third-party (reviewer) having to come in and say "okay so this what this actually is". Basically, "buyer beware" is a lovely mode of operation and we should all expect better. Super No Vacancy posted:because the advertising commitment can vary depending on the publisher's faith in the game, or the amount of content in the game that advertises well. think critically This is also probably why people care, but again, Bethesda is now telling us this is an old way of thinking. And other publishers are agreeing with them. So, only time will tell how consumers adjust.

Yeah, that was a Blur trailer, they've done one for every Bioware game since EA acquired them. Sacred Ashes for DAO, Destiny for DA2, Take Earth Back for ME3 and this one. Inquisition was the first not to get one, I think?

ESRB posted:... clothed alien/human characters may prop a partner on top of a space console, clear away the clutter from a bed-slab, unzip a future-blouse, or just talk it out. Though an alien/human may gyrate her hips while on top (fleeting—one-to-two seconds), actual sex is never depicted—the camera cuts away to space furniture and ceilings. Yeah, ME2 was their best one.

The MSJ posted:For context, Witcher 3 had full body nudity but no visible genitals. So in MEA there will probably be toplessness but everyone keep their briefs and panties on? And which is more intense between high and strong? Nah, DAI had full body and got the same "strong" rating as Andromeda. Witcher probably got high rating because of the brothel scenes, it's the frequency (and sheer number) they can occur that bumps it up over DAI and probably Andromeda.

Going by the briefing video Scott and Sara will have different backgrounds as a replacement for the psychological profiles (war hero, ruthless, survivor). Scott has more military and combat experience, while Sara is a turbo-nerd.Groetgaffel posted:But, shouldn't the XO become the new person in charge if the top dog dies? Nepotism! Her character assessment in the background of the video says she is supposed to succeed the pathfinder. So, it's going to be something like she caves under pressure or is responsible for Alec disappearing (and no one will follow her).

JawKnee posted:Maybe I mis-heard the trailer, but isn't arcturus the center of the Alliance parliament? And the prothean archives seems to refer to Mars? Andromeda Initiative posted:Scott joined the Systems Alliance military and was assigned to an outpost near Arcturus Station overseeing Relay 202. A primary route to Arcturus, this mass relay leads into contested space and has an unsavory reputation. So, no he wasn't at Arcturus Station. Describing it as "near" probably threw you off, but it's near in relay terms. He was probably on the edge of the Traverse which gets raided all the time from the Terminus Systems.
