Andromeda Initiative briefings (6/6 Golden Worlds and Settlements)

So that's N7's voice? Hmm, I rather like it: it suits him. Nothing really new in the promo besides it but I do very much like the promo. Has a nice speech, looks good and still encourages that feeling of curiousity towards exploring the unknown.

New teaser sets Mass Effect: Andromeda 600 years after the last game
By Andy Chalk 2 hours ago
The Andromeda Initiative is looking for qualified candidates.

Applications are now being taken for a new, intergalactic exploration program called the Andromeda Initiative. Orientation (a trailer) is set to begin on November 7, but you can get an idea of what it's all about—which, in case there's any question, would be BioWare's next Mass Effect game—by way of the new, brief, and thoroughly stirring trailer that promises great things for those bold enough to seize the moment.

The most noteworthy detail is that Mass Effect: Andromeda apparently takes place around 600 years after Mass Effect 3. Some uncertain time after the events of the original trilogy drove humanity back to their home circling boring old Sol, the Andromeda Initiative is recruiting brave adventurers to seek out "a future beyond the Milky Way." If we're understanding it correctly, we'll pick up the story 600 years later in Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Applying for this unprecedented program of exploration beyond the limits of the Milky Way will in fact get you on the Mass Effect Insider mailing list, which isn't exactly a "where no-one has gone before" kind of thing. It's still awfully handy for fans of the series, though, and the important thing is that this means we're finally going to start getting a real look at what's coming in the Mass Effect: Andromeda, one of the most anticipated RPGs to come along in years. And not a moment too soon: It's currently scheduled for release in early 2017.

Why does "a future that begins 600 years from where we stand" necessarily mean 600 years after the events of ME3?

Edit: To be clear I'm referring to the PC gamer article, which seems to think the game starts 600 years after ME3.

Damn those guys should at least pay attention before making "news". Nowhere in the video it was stated that this was 6 centuries after the Reaper War.

Looks like some kind of bracing to me.

I agree with PapaCharlie. It does appear to say Hyperon.

And actually :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperon

And actually, there are twelve types of Hyperons, too.  Some are called Sigma, but have strange symbols (because of yay I'm excellent at maths).  I believe they are called delta, epsilon, etc.  So they would be called Sigma Epsilon, etc.

Actually, starting today (as they have) it's 7 days exactly till N7 day - 7 = 7???  Who knows.

With the timeline thing, I interpreted it as being 600 years from Neil Armstrong's bootprints which is where they're standing but whatever.  Which makes me wonder a bit - how come they are allowed to walk there?  You'd think that area would be preserved as some sort of global monument.  Why should N7 dad add his bootprints to Neil's and Buzz's?

i thought everybody knew at this time that the ark is called hyperion, there are many sources about that. Probably on YT channels that not everybody follow, but its indeeed hyperion. Actually there are some serious greek and other ancient mithology on ME:
Prothean (prometheus)
Hyperion
Helius
Cerberus
Illium (iliad)
Asari (osiris)
Hydra
Aegis
Athena
Hades Nexus
Gammma
Hercules
Theseus
Omega
Phalanx
Argos Rho
Acheron
Pylos
Elysium
and off course: Andromeda

ITs something not related only to Mass Effect though, since all that stuff began back there when those civilizations started astronomy and giving names to the celestial bodies.

I don't.  I think we need to wait about five more months.
