New Mass Effect Teaser Trailer

At this point, it's looking more and more likely that sirpetrakus is either tripping hard, or trolling y'all.

For all we know this might not be ryder but other characters. How you insist that it's peebee and co I don't know, and for the flying crafts. Where did you see them? I like when you said in other posts that the game is gonna take place in the mw with a new pc, and now you say it's gonna be in andromeda.

Like I said, I do believe I got played here. One side or another.

Personally I don't see it. I see a Salarian, a Human and a Krogan.
But the game is likely so far away I doubt they even have character designs, let alone character models, aside from Liara's.

I've no idea what to make of this, other than that Bio wants to let the world know that a new ME is a thing.

It's possible that their primary goal is to create excitement around the remaster, as its planned release is approaching.

Personally, I'm not inclined to get excited about anything as far away as I suspect NME is at this point. And can I just say that as much as I find traditional dev crunch a loathsome practice, I also take issue with the length of time that passes between releases lately. The remaster might draw new people and excitement to the franchise, but it's probably not going to help NME much if it's still 6 years away.

Some general comments/impressions about the trailer:

-- The whole thing is really sort of an abbreviated anthology tracing humanity's history as it relates to space exploration. As such, I'm not sure how we are expected to interpret things like the debris around the relay. Did they intend to show us that that happened at some point, or is that the current status?

-- Oh, and is it possible that the wrecked relay could have been the one Shep wrecked during the Arrival?

-- I don't think destroy is necessarily conclusive. The reaper Liara climbs - as well as the one in the background - don't show any obvious signs of damage, and the one in the background still has its claws stuck in the ground. They could be inactive or hibernating or something, post control ending.

-- Also, that Liara's eyes don't glow green isn't conclusive proof that synthesis could not have been chosen. It's entirely possible that the green glow was temporary while the beam traveled through the galaxy.

-- Liara's garments have been mentioned as some sort of signal that she's no longer engaging in combat, but... I noticed that she appears to be wearing shinguards w/ knee protection as she's walking up the reaper, and her boots look armored as she bends over to pick up the artifact. She looks to me like she's wearing as much armor as she ever did under the cloak.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, the character appears to be either wearing sunglass or has the dark makeup around the eyes ala Peebs.

All that said - it absolutely, positively could be PeeBee. But even if it is, it wouldn't tell us that she's going to be making an appearance in NME - they could very easily be using whatever assets they have on hand to fill in the visuals temporarily.

Do you mean one of the 2 pairs I circled in red? Those look a lot like space rocks or lens flares. They're not stars because they move and disappear but they don't look like any kind of craft. And they're all around the screen, some of them do have tails like comets, though, maybe that's why you might think they're different.


Sorry, didn't mean to imply it's someone from the AI, specifically, just the style of the helmet and why I don't believe it's Peebee.


Everything we get we should take with a huge mountain of salt because a lot of people jump to conclusions thanks of confirmation bias and over-excitement. We really don't know anything and making something out to be true based on speculation (for those of us without inside sources) is a recipe for disappointment when that might not even be the case in the long run. Be more critical, guys.

I hope this is what happens. Don't know how they are gonna pull this off though.

I could see them doing that, but I don't think it would be satisfactory.

As someone who wants MEA2 (with a lot of improvements), I can say that I'm not interested in ever seeing Ryder's crew again unless I'm playing Ryder.



I've thought that, too - and hope they don't go there. I don't much like the idea of trivializing intergalactic travel. There really should be enough to do in one galaxy - lol.



Hard to say. But which Shepard? They would likely let us specify gender and class, but what would this Shep look like?

One of the problems they'd face bringing Shep back is that they would not/could not look like the Shep we left in MET. I mean, the appearance wasn't even consistent across those 3 games, and now they'd be moving the characters to a new engine, new CC, and probably entirely new combat system so the character would not play the same, either.

Also SAM. Well, sort of. I guess they mentored each other in ways unique to artificial versus organic species.

If only there was a remaster coming out in a new engine...
