Zhang has been creating a character model on Unreal Engine 3, inspired by BioWare’s sci-fi franchise, Mass Effect. This characters shows – pretty much – what we can expect from a next-generation Mass Effect game. The interesting part here is that – unlike other renders – this is a real-time character, created on Unreal Engine 3. In other words, this is no CG bullcrap, but 100% real-time. Thankfully, the artist is back with a punch, and has released a new set of screenshots from his updated model. Enjoy!"
Game Rant Writes "Canonicity can be a tricky nut to crack in franchises with continuing narratives, and that's something Mass Effect 4 will need to contend with."
wow gamerant forgot mass effect 4 came out years ago number 6 and 7 were cancelled.
The new mass effect which can be called number 5 will not have any of your choices why you might ask?
Well dragon age keep were your choices from number one can been seen in number 3 got unplugged from number one and number 2 is finicky.
Dragon age on pc requires a mod to get past the server login and non of your choices get uploaded to the keep even the dlc no longer works sense it needs a server check.
On xbox i teseted this only though local saves i was able to transfer choices from one to too but 0 of one dlc would work.
So if the more popular dragon age series is in this state why would they care about your mass effect choices?
Oh and that remaster that was tossed out still has day one issues and number 3 is still hard to play on pc do to lighting issues and ram limits imposed from 2014.
My expectations for the next bioware 2.0 titles is very low.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 will likely treat Mass Effect 3’s Destroy ending as canon, and this gives it an opportunity to explore a post-apocalyptic galaxy."
Destroy is the best choice. Bring the relays back over the course of a new trilogy, maybe right at the end of the first game. Say it was Cerberus, Salarians or a bunch of keepers that created a relay.
Game Rant Writes "Mass Effect 4 has plenty of opportunities to change a lot about the franchise, particularly in the protagonist players can create."
“Mass Effect 4 Needs to Make One Major Change with the Protagonist“
To make sure the main characters face isn’t tired with the released game?
How will aliens looks?
Will planet roaming return?
Will there be space combat?
These are thing I want to know. If this new engine requires established aliens to be radically redesigned, then it fails.
Woah his face looks so real at a certain angle
I want them to work on animations more than anything. Stiff chatacters in cutscenes / gameplay, needs to die.
They licensed Frostbite for ME4 if I remember correctly so we might expect a bit different results for this one. Likely, it will be an improvement in essentially every area.
Looks good, but I'm not blown away like I was with the ME debut trailer during '06 when I first saw it in terms of the graphical leap. On this tech demo, the face looks real, but the lighting and how it reflects against the body looks current gen. Character models could have the sharpest high res textures, but if the lighting is wrong, the realism is not quite there.
