Variety of level design and aesthetics is key and man do they have a lot to work with considering the setting. Previous Mass Effect games have had some amazing level designs but I wonder what they can pull off with the extra horsepower now.

VER1ON3182d ago

Ye I hope they can connect the dots. The use of the Frostbite 3 engine should allow for some impressive results on both consoles and pc.

@Septic- Agreed. Though I always felt the areas in Mass Effect where too small, I always loved the sci-fi design and the only thing I wanted really was more of it lol.

I'm really curious to see as well how they use the extra power given. Clearly no elevator loading will be on the table, i'm fully expecting zero loading and for it to be seamless..but maybe I'm just spoiled from other no loading games this gen lol.

ArchangelMike3182d ago

Quite frankly I'm tired of all the teasing. When are we going to see gameplay already!!!!

VER1ON3182d ago

Feeling you, been teasing for over a year now. Getting blue b*lls from this teasing.

medman3182d ago

Quite frankly, I think Bioware doth tease too much.

Sega Saturn made it but not the 360. Don't remember Saturn having a horrid rrod rate. Absolutely horrid

The launch games were all right, but look at how Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA compared to their re-releases.

Mass Effect Companions, Ranked from Worst to Best

From Xfire: "BioWare's Mass Effect franchise took gamers on a fascinating universal sci-fi journey that will never be forgotten. While fighting against the ever-looming threat of the Reapers was central to Mass Effect's storyline, what made the series so iconic was its vast and diverse cast of characters.

Not only do these companions accompany Commander Shepard as you make your way through hell and back, but, throughout your journey, you also get to learn who these characters were and are and what they think about what it is that you are doing. Some will even fall in love with you, and others will even become your enemy based on your decision."

When I looked at the list I thought they were saying Garrus was the worst lol. And tali being so far down the list was fighting words for me. But the numbered list is just the order they are shown so you are forgiven.

CYALTR1135d ago

I think they listed them from worst to best. Also keep in mind that this includes Andromeda characters that aren't part of the remastered trilogy. Interesting refresh on the characters though.

sourOG1135d ago

They did but I didn’t realize it until I started reading. That’s just the order they are shown.

Knightofelemia1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

I couldn't stand Miranda I could never like her as a character and I always skipped Jacob and James. I always liked Grunt, Jack, Legion, Tali, Garrus, Samara, Liara, Wrex, Edi, Zaeed, Kasumi I always use these characters. Using Martin Sheen as the Illusive Man just fits the character like using Keith David as Admiral Anderson was another good choice always feels like Goliath from Gargoyles is yelling at you which I like.

Rebel_Scum1134d ago

Kinda weird having a question mark at the end of that sentence?

Soy1134d ago

Garrus is best space bro.

Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021

Zahi AR. from Link Cable Gaming writes “Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, with me in andromeda. Specifically, Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021. With the recent announcement of Anthem shutting down its future plans, I wanted to look at another recent BioWare game. My switch to a PlayStation 5 destroyed my save file right while I was at the end. So, I decided to do a fresh start on the new console to see just how well (or not) it’s been since launch. How has the new generation of hardware treated the game that fell from grace? Should you play Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021? Let’s find out.”

Such a good game! It got a 4K X1X upgrade and it looks fantastic! Also like the story! Was playing it again before Series X dropped. Going to download it for the Series X, as soon as I have more room on my HD. Playing too many other games right now.

Instant resume is AMAZING! I can Switch between 5 games in seconds. Like 10 to 15 at the most! No closing a game and opening another one! Thank you Microsoft!

It’s was decent to me. I didn’t feel the magic I felt when I played two or even three. I don’t know. It was repetitive, and the worlds felt bland.

jeromeface1200d ago

There's a reason it reviewed so poorly in the first place... these reasons among others.

anast1200d ago

I had a lot of fun with this game, but I haven't played 2 or 3 yet.

giovonni1200d ago

2 was wonderful, three was just as good as two the ending though 🤦🏾‍♂️

Wintersun6161200d ago

I finally gave it a go last autumn and was amazed by how bad a game can be. And believe me my expectations were low. After 10ish hours I just had to give up.

giovonni1200d ago

I powered through it, myself. It was just repetitive, and the Land Rover Exploration wasn’t interesting at all. The story also we mahhhhhhh.
