I'm actually really excited

What type of an improved galaxy map display do you suggest as a replacement? How would you improve it? Are there other games that do a better job without a holographic display?

In the 4K Playstation vid we see the hologram of the Helios Cluster with a very nice 3D appearance, a vast improvement from the Normandy's 2D top-down map of the MW galaxy. I'm excited over the graphics from what we're seeing so far.

The N7 day will reveal how much payload will have the HypeTrain (for me at least)

The moment Aaryn says if you're not watching on a 4K screen, find one and come back, I was like, yeah, sure. No. I have no reason to purchase a 4K tv even though I could buy one now.

I'm not really exited about the game. I will preorder the game, as I've posted before, but that's more due to hearing/seeing what the explanation of the how/why/when the ships leave for Andromeda

Flynn definitely said the Pathfinder needs to explore and take on quests. That Ryder needs to start the colonization process and to
solve a Galactic Mystery. This begins the critical path of the story.

No two ways about it. Exploration is a prime activity to discover and obtain better tech and gear. That holographic map showed us at least 32
planets with Regular Remnant Vaults that contain artifacts, materials, gear and some Keys that can unlock the entrance to Elite Remnant Vaults
located somewhere in space. The latter is a much much tougher fight to survive but come with better rewards. On top of the sentry robots,
the Elite Vaults also contain Khet and pirates looking for the same thing we are (info from Leak).

What I hope is that the Tempest's Helius cluster map, that shows you each planet (see 1st video), also gives you the location of the Vaults.  We
select the planet, drop on the surface, fire up  the Mako and arrive at the vault location.  Further surface exploration is optional.


Remember, this is a New Story with New Characters. MW galactic civilization, the Alliance, Omega, the Citadel and everything else we
may love and want to see are no more.

Well, who am I speak. I bought No Man's Sky...

So you already hate the game from a ~9min tech video/behind the scenes/trailer demonstration....
It's a good thing this kind of baseless opinion isn't in the majority.

Why would I hate a game? A virtual bits of 0s and 1s? If there's one thing I absolutely hate, it's Mondays. Ugh. I'm just not excited about it coming out, that's all.
What are the things Aaryn Flynn put emphasis on in his comments to the short video. Frostbite engine. 4K. HDR support. Seeing characters up close in a cutscene.
Of those things, which features were not implemented in DA:I, with a Metacritic user score 5.8, that I agree with - a thoroughly mediocre game. HDR support. Yeahhhhhh.. The chest-height walls to sit behind and pew pew now have glowing lights on them. The character can jump a tiny bit higher than DA:I because of jet pack. It could be the most amazing game ever made, sure, but Bioware is going to far lengths to hide it so far then.

Indeed. Here's to looking forward to N7 day and look how cool our game is trailer. Too little information, I'm keeping my opinions open.

One thing I hope this game won't have, at least for very long, is aliens speaking in an alien language to me. Shi abu gabkan takla makla bandi tae.

Ugh. I can't stand that. If they make a universal translator as part of the crafting system, I'm gonna make that first. I don't care if I have weapons from four centuries ago. If I can't understand you, nuh-uh.

but it makes sense that aliens do NOT speak english. galactic translator for unknown exogalactic species would be absurd

Count me among the very nervous regarding the open world exploration focus. DAI had a grindy open world devoid of the story content to support it.
I'll probably end up purchasing the game but nothing so far has wowed me, whilst from the stupid Asari to the exploration have worried me.
