Mass Effect: Andromeda is Being Developed in Full Swing – “Amazing” Work Being Done

Mass Effect: Andromeda was announced 2 years ago. And since then, we haven’t heard much from the developers, Bioware. Many game shows passed, but not much details about Mass Effect: Andromeda were shown. Even at this year’s E3, only the game’s concept trailer was shown but that was made in game’s engine.

[LordPotato]

cant wait to play this!!

[GOODKylePS]

Let's just hope there's not a repeat of some other Mass Effect event...

[Lamboomington]

Are your referring to that time where they threw out the lore, fiction, premise of the entire series and replaced it with something completely unrelated and nonsensical, in the span of about 10 minutes ?

I'm still salty about that...

[TehDiTH]

Cant wait to see our disappointment when we play this game and find out the new galaxy has the exact same races as the old one +2-3 and their racial traits have been reversed.

[Xavior_Reigns]

Asari will now be male only... err you know what I mean. Turians will have soft human skin and humans will be robots in disguise.

[Shubhendu_Singh]

"Amazing" work is being done.
Oh thank god. Because I thought developers of Mass Effect would say "Lousy" work is being done. sheww...

Can't wait for this freakin game though my god. EA...please don't insert 28DLCs into this game pleaase.

[Blu3_Berry]

Oh They will have dlc, trust me it's EA after all. Expect to have a $50-$60 season pass which might include an ending as well.

[TheCommentator]

Let's not forget that "...development is in full swing..."! WTF, is this news? Does that mean that it was not in full swing until just now? This would explain why we've seen nothing but an "in engine" trailer and a few random bits for so long.

I'm really excited for this game, but after the last Mass Effect and Dragon Age, I am a bit worried that Bioware has dropped to Obsidians' level of quality in terms of game design. I mean, KOTOR 2 (Obsidian) was a good game, but it felt hollow in some way... like a copy of an original is somewhat degraded. The last two games from Bioware feel like copies to me as well but I'm still a sucker for their games regardless, so I'm hoping that the long development time makes Andromeda worth it.

[CP_Company]

bla bla bla...even small companies in this time have had showed gameplay.

[Godmars290]

Other companies don't have fanatical fans, or an established history of repeatedly disappointing them.

[Summons75]

Which is exactly why you'd think they'd jump out in front of the way of the bus before it hits them and SHOW that it's amazing work being done, that it's "the best game ever", that it will "blow our minds".

[starchild]

It seems developers can't win. If they show off their game early in development and any aspect needs to be pared back for the overall good of the game then people scream "downgrade". But if they wait until closer to release to show their game people get impatient and complain they aren't showing enough.

[Kokyu]

There is a difference between showing Alpha game play that is with in the ability of a game engine with current tech and doing a total bait and switch which is what watch dogs was. Stop defending devs and publishers when they do horrible things, it doesnt help anyone.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Who cares if they get in patient? who on Earth is not buying a game because they didn't see footage slightly before release? Are we buying games because what they are or what they've been revealed to be years prior?

I honestly just don't think most users actually really care that much about seeing footage this early out they care about what they're going to be finally playing not necessarily when they're being shown footage of it.

[starchild]

I agree with you, _-EDMIX-_. It's the right choice.

"Are we buying games because what they are or what they've been revealed to be years prior?"

I especially liked what you said there. It sums up how I feel about it too.

[_-EDMIX-_]

It's because those small companies have had to. . they financially cannot afford to show a game in silence.

Electronic Arts on the other hand has enough money to show what they feel when they feel and with all the people looking at screenshots with magnifying glass and doing before and afters to complete Oblivion Electronic Arts is 100% correct and this day and age wait until they are very close to release before having a full gameplay reveal I'm sorry but the Witcher 3 being shown when it was didn't really help them when it came to people jumping on the comparison bandwagon and before and aftered the game to death I would say it hurt the team more than helped.

I for one actually agree with Electronic Arts decision to probably not show the game until they're at least a few months away before release as for people to know the gameplay they're looking at is indicative of the final product and not some early Target build.

I think Electronic Arts is merely trying to not go down the path as a couple Publishers have went down showing early footage of games and being scrutinized for years regarding it.

[TheColbertinator]

They should show gameplay to display this "amazing work"

[Afrokk]

Agreed.

[spicelicka]

Isn't that mostly all in-game? There is quite a bit of gameplay in there, definitely enough to give an idea of how the gameplay will look.

[Kokyu]

No there are a few seconds of game play which is impossible to tell anything about it with 2 seconds of it split in between. I will say what was shown looks amazing.

[Captain_Mushroom]

"News" article saying absolutely nothing about Mass Effect? This must be GamingBolt. Oh, wait... it's not. Strange.

[Afrokk]

"Absolutely nothing"? Come on man, read it atleast. Its just a status update on how the development of the game is going.

[Summons75]

Which is nothing new. We've know for YEARS it's been in development and they've been hyping it up for YEARS as "amazing work and that it will blow our minds"....and yet we have seen nothing to prove any of it. So nothing new here.

[Kokyu]

Agreed there are at least 30 of these click bait articles online everyday. Why is that? Because people know there is almost no information out there about MEA. One thing is sure if they arent saying or showing anything its because A the game is so drastically different from the original 3 it will turn off the base or B its so amazing it will blow our minds. Being its EA Ill go with A.

[Kalebninja]

Wow at it again with talking about how amazing the game is and we've seen close to nothing when it comes out early next year.

[SoulWarrior]

SHOW US. STOP TALKING.

[Software_Lover]

At this point, with this long development time, I have a feeling that it's going to be some type of MMORPG. I just have this feeling.

[Swiftfox]

I'm kinda in the same boat as you. The language they use, what little has been shown--you get the feeling EA is going to try and shift Mass Effect into a money-making machine scenario before shutting down BioWare. I have this feeling we are going to see "EA presents Mass Effect: Destiny".

[Software_Lover]

Oh my gawd I'm tired of hearing about it. Show us something useful. Put up or shut up.

[Christopher]

I think with the multiple writer hires from late last year, they went back to the chopping block a la Uncharted 4 with the story elements of the game. Right now, they're just stringing us along until they have a story piece they're ready to show and has been tested to not be as bad as what it seems like they had before.

[Gatsu]

Lol at the comments always about begging for gameplay.

[quent]

How's about we get a playable demo, oh wait I forgot its 2016

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

A status update like this would be more amazing with some new screens or a video showcasing some of their progress.
Look at Yooka-Laylee, for example. Or Breath of the Wild.
Just saying that there's "amazing work being done" only convinces the stalwart fans who already love the series in the first place.

[BlakHavoc]

Will be my most anticipated game once it's fully revealed in blowout fashion

[Pongwater]

Yeah I kept hearing how amazing the first trilogy was, and then I played it. Possibly the most overrated series ever imo.

[starchild]

Everything is overrated to somebody.
