Uh oh... looks like they are using video editing software (you can see it on the laptop). That means no live gameplay but a pre-recorded one... For better or for worse.

Geoff Keighley said it would definitely be 5 minutes, and I was under the impression it was gonna be live gameplay, but I guess this isn't E3 I think shinobi said it'll be live gameplay, but he's not always correct. Nope. Shinobi's answer to this question was that BioWare was "still undecided" on whether to do live or prerecorded. This answer was, obviously, entirely useless.

Lucky for us, Eezo can do wonders... right, right? Relatively off-topic, but this reminds me of how I always wished we could've done the obvious and "given the Collector Base" to the Council or the Alliance. We were flying the only vessel with an active reaper IFF, so they should've been just as able to get there and claim it as Cerberus. Sigh. Anyway, the capability to build space stations that can reside anywhere near to black holes is pretty impressive. It likely won't come up this game, but who knows what's down the road? The remnant, whatever they were, seem like they could be/have been a civilization on that level. It would be interesting if today's enemies, the Kett, are tomorrow's allies. It would have a sort of symmetry with the First Contact War/Relay 314 Incident. If we were able to resolve our differences with the kett, say when a far more pressing danger arises, anything could happen in future installments. It's easy to speculate before we've seen them. I might feel differently after fighting them for a few dozen hours. Edit: Also, that's a lot of mass. Incomprehensible.

Black holes aren't giant cosmic vacuum cleaners, though. You could theoretically orbit around one (up to a certain distance that it's gravitational pull doesn't suck you in) and you'd be fine.

Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon Whatever ending you chose in ME3 is "canon." We don't do anything to contradict it in MEA.

MassaFX massafxI loved Citadel DLC. Does Andromeda incorporate any CitDLC style gameplay and unique story? Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonSeveral of the team members from Citadel are on MEA, and they certainly apply lessons learned from previous projects.

Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon We have five "tones" to help you define Ryder's personality, so quite a bit of control. (tone 5 is for actions)
BioFan @biofanofficial heart, head, professional, casual, and narrative actions?
Ian S. Frazier @tibermoon Correct. Taking a narrative action is essentially choosing the "impulsive" tone.

A bunch of ships are seen on TIM's holo-viewer approaching the Collector Base. They had to have an IFF in order to properly fly to that location. Huh. I've never seen this, likely because I've never had a Suicide Mission casualty. I've seen TIM ominously eying his prize (priiiiiiize?) plenty of times, but never with a swarm of ships approaching. I'll have to see if this is on YouTube for the sake of curiosity. It is a silly mistake to make, considering how important a plot point getting that IFF was. I really love these games, but they are absolutely riddled with " minor" inconsistencies. They really need someone to pull these loose myriad threads together. I realize that there is someone in charge of this, but I often wonder if he isn't spread a bit too thin. He has a lot on his plate, and it would be easy to miss some things on a huge project spread across years of development. I wonder how many times something is ultimately deemed "too late/not worth fixing" when it's noticed in the late stages?

TIM doesn't have a base to eyeball like that. I destroy it in every game, since I can't find a way to give it to the alliance.
Plus, it makes the ending more realistic "too much bull**** on this channel." Even my Paragons take THAT option.

I enjoyed the Shepard/Illusive Man relationship in ME2 quite a bit. TIM was well written and very well acted. It made their direct interactions, though relatively few, a lot of fun. I can only hope we get someone as epic in MEA as ole' Jack Harper.

A bunch of ships are seen on TIM's holo-viewer approaching the Collector Base. They had to have an IFF in order to properly fly to that location. I think that the IFF just prevents all of the drones and turrets on the other side of the relay to fire upon the entering vessel. They said before that any ship that went in never came back, and you can see all of the debris. This means that any ship could traverse the relay but the problem is surviving on the other side. Once Shepard has eliminated the collector base, I guess that all of the defenses are down, thus enabling any ship to enter that relay.

TIM doesn't have a base to eyeball like that. I destroy it in every game, since I can't find a way to give it to the alliance. Plus, it makes the ending more realistic "too much bull**** on this channel." Even my Paragons take THAT option. That is one of the more enjoyable lines in the series. I enjoyed the Shepard/Illusive Man relationship in ME2 quite a bit. TIM was well written and very well acted. It made their direct interactions, though relatively few, a lot of fun. I can only hope we get someone as epic in MEA as ole' Jack Harper. Mass Effect 2 was my first ME game and i absolutely feel in love with The Illusive Man. I didn't know about Cerberus and other things entering into the series. All i knew was, he brought Shep back from dead and I'm thinking he must be a good guy. As the games goes on, he becomes more ominous, more "dangerous" and it hit me like a ton of bricks when my thought slowly goes: "wait... is he the villain?". I still remember having conflicted thoughts on deciding whether to give TIM the collector base or not. That was the first time I was truly amazed by a game's villain character.
