Mass Effect: Andromeda

Im guessing he was expecting...something. Anything.

And show the tech (which looks absolutely gorgeous).....so what were you expecting?

I just was hoping for an actual announcement as to what they were doing with ME4. Something about the game itself, not just a tech demo.

And for Casey Hudson not to be so in charge, after ME3.

Just personally.

I guess they shouldn't of said anything.

It's well known that it will be a few more years before we see a new Mass Effect.

But I will say that the video talked about a new IP, which is pretty exciting.

I was just hoping for something more definitive. I mean, Mass Effect 3 came out in early 2012. I don't mind taking 3-4 years to develop a new game, but I would have at least liked to hear something specific.

While I think every announcement should come with it's steamers and confetti as well (not really), it's at least good to hear they're working on it.

Maybe that's what it was; I already knew it was most likely being worked on, so i'd been hoping for some actual details at the show.

Imo if you don't have anything worthwhile to say or show about the project itself, after the initial announcement of you working on it you shouldn't talk about it until you do.

Weren't they showing off level and planet designs, the protagonist's default armor plus the galaxy map?

From what I saw the level stuff was basically just a tech demo of how the graphics and stuff look. A shot of armor is worthless and a galaxy map could have been shown later when they were giving more info on the places to go and alien races

That's what I took from it.

They can't possibly do a sequel to the ME trilogy. I'm guessing they'll do a prequel covering humanity's discovery of the mass relays. Humanity's first contact with alien, celestial life would be cool. Kinda like reentering the universe with fresh eyes

A prequel would suck.

I like prequels. I think Mass Effect universe is ripe for a prequel. There is so many references to ancient civilizations in the Codex entries that a sequel would be killer.

I would love to play as a difference race stepping on Earth for the first time or visit other planets in our solar system.

So Casey Hudson left bioware today

Oh well.

Just thought it was worth mentioning. And wondering what effect it will have on bioware going forward

Probably not a lot. It's a very large company with multiple branches so I can't see one person changing that.

I could be a bad thing or a good thing. Who knows.

Well he was directly in charge of the first trilogy. So I think with no involvement at all bioware might want different things for them

I guess. I don't know, I never worked there so I don't know how much final say he had.

I'm guessing a fair bit but it's not like he didn't have help.
