Mass Effect Andromeda Q&A Panel at Montreal Comic Con, 8th July 2017, "Can not comment on future pro

I am glad that I am not the only one who sees the potential in the studio. Without the time they put into this procedurally generated planets they basically had a development cicle of 2 years. That's the ME3 development time right there, a game developed by Bioware's flagship studio, and it beat that game in a lot of areas, particulatly the ending, combat, and the level design for the last mission. Not to mention that they had to port all the assets to Frostbite, unlike the OT which was all on Unreal Engine, and besides all the challenges they actually delivered a good product. It's a shame the hate train was all set on demolishing Mass Effect...

From EA's financial standpoint I think it is reasonable to give them another shot with maybe more supervision from Edmonton. The alternative is leaving them again as a support studio, and I am pretty sure they get a lot more money with a fresh game than letting them do patches or DLC's for other games. So there's that...

My guess? The "hint" will continue to be the narrative of, "we can't talk about it, but when we can, we will". The description of the panel doesn't suggest a tease of any kind. I think the panel description would've hinted as such so they get butts in the seats. Though, personally I think hearing (if there being truthful) it from the horses mouth will be fascinating.  

I believe he is.

That is better NPD charting than ME3 did. Which was better than ME2 etc. Tell me again how it proves MEA is a failure sales wise?

You know I really hope that people post some of this stuff on youtube. I think the story of Andromeda's development should be an important case study for anyone wanting to get into game development. 'Succeeding in the face of tremendous adversity'.

I thought that included the procedural generated planets? I mean, damn, 4 or 5 more maps the size of the existing maps is fucking intimidating to think about getting through.

*sigh* If we had someone on the forum going to the damn panel we could get them to ask the people who would actually know.

And it was done by the team that got trashed on the internet on every ocassion possible. And most likely these tools will be used on DA4 and maybe even Anthem.
Poor guys....

Yea, personally I'm glad (if true) it got cut. MEA it felt intimidating after rescuing the Moshae, when everything opened up. It would have just been DAI where a majority of the content could have been cut, in favor I felt MEA benefitted for better focused quests then say-close 75 fade rifts in the game.  

I'd like to see them add a number of small, unusual planets to explore like H-074c, that broken planet. That was my favourite, as it felt like I was exploring another world, rather than exploring a desert on earth.

That could work. Design a water world, give it small exploreable islands or something. H-074c itself was a fairly substantial map. Not much opportunity to get out of the Nomad, but it was still pretty big.

damn straight.

Hopefully they are ready to speak
