ME:A - The Video Game Awards Gameplay Video

It looks fantastic. Mass Effect has never been so Mass Effect before, holy mother of Hanars.

4:53 is less than 5 minutes, Biower liars.

Seriously though, I'll need to rewatch it tomorrow after some very needed sleep, but it looked awesome.

Dat N7 Piranha, Revenant, & a Widow.

It looks fun.

The flow of combat looked a bit disjointed, but it may have been whoever was playing.

This Krogan armor (Drax i guess) looks really old with those bones on it.
Nice to see a femTurian too.

Obviously the development is on a tightrope right now; there's missing sounds, jankiness and all, but really, I'm pleasantly surprised by the dynamics and flow of the game.

I have long been against Mass Effect going too shooty bang bang, and I never thought they went too far with the trilogy except maybe ME3, but if they had to go all out with it, better to do it with a completely fresh and original combat style. The closest thing that springs to mind is InFamous Second Son honestly, and that's not even close to what this looks like.

Also cutscenes look great, dialogue wheel is A-ok. Very disappointed with how bad default femRyder looks in facial animations, or just the animations in general and also a lot of the default running and stuff reminds me of KOTOR again for some reason. There's definitely work to be done there if I have anything to say about it but overall, I fucking love what this is shaping up to be, believe it or not.

Only concern I have is that this is so different from the old Mass Effect that... I mean, it almost didn't feel like Mass Effect to me just in how colorful and almost cartoony it is at times and you have that tribe-boy "Liquid MGSV" sitting on a throne... hmm. I really like it but it seems more like some other IP than Mass Effect... and I'm still okay with that honestly, just pointing it out.

But yeah, cat's outta the bag, either this game ships super rushed in spring 2016 or there is that inevitable delay coming, cuz boy, was assets, optimization LOTS of polish missing here.

But kudos for showing a Game Over sequence as part of the footage. That's too awesome, and an aknowledgement that this is a game and not just a linear narrative.

No joke. MEA will be what ME1 tried to accomplish. Shame on the release date not being confirmed, though.

New aliens

And we have companion name Vetra.... a woman maybe.

It looked good. The Piranha was my favorite gun in the original trilogy and so i'm excited to see it back (Or at least a gun that looks and acts similar to it.)
I have to admit though, i care more about character reveals then i do play footage.

Amazing work on display from all of our @bioware studios. March can't get here soon enough.


So... still aiming for March!

Was that Jack look-alike woman voiced by Indira Varma (Vivienne's VA).
