Imagine how the artist feels...that's a completely different Aya. Also suggests that it wasn't just a hub world. I also see shades of Anthem with this concept art, so at least the artists work wasn't completely in vain. It wasn't necessarily meant as open map, this kind of concept art is usually supposed to define the general feel of a location, especially in the early stages of development. It rarely ends up as template for the actual in-game location, unless the developers had something very specific in mind. No reason for the artist to be disappointed, even if the concept art in many cases looks much better than what was implemented in the game or some good ideas had to be dropped due to technical limitations, it's just the way it goes. For those interested, there is some very nice concept art for Voeld on Ben Lo's tumblr page. Well, I just figure that it must have took the artist(s) probably (I don't know, guessing here) six months to a year (I have no knowledge of how this works, by the way) working on it. Its not even close to the final product; hell it looks nothing like Aya actually. Considering (if the rumors are true) that they really only had almost two years (eighteen months) of actual development. I wonder what Aya or the rest of the planets really could have looked like-if things didn't drastically change.

Since I'm on Playstation and don't have the "Play through ME:Andromeda Trial" Trophy, unlike Origin, is there a reason I should get it? I'm kinda at loss why they're anouncing the Free Trial again. Uh, why? You already have the game? It's not effecting your 100% or anything like that. Apparently, according to Origin its worth like zero points or whatever they said. I do have the game and played it on PS4, like I said, so I don't care for that Origin achievment But I was thinking that maybe there was a bonus or something like it for playing it. I mean, I dunno if there ever were Free Tials 4 months after a game releases, so that's why I found it weird.

This has to be the most alive dead game in video game history BioWare is also a very alive studio that had died in 2007, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2017. Funfact: Bioware died midway through development of Baldur's Gate.

Pretty too bad we never do any exploration on Aya. maybe we might during 1 of the DLC's you never know. Unlikely given it's a hub world but possible I guess. They could always have the DLC make it like Kadara, where there is the city hub and then you access a door that takes you to the explorable planet part.

Imagine how the artist feels...that's a completely different Aya. Also suggests that it wasn't just a hub world. I also see shades of Anthem with this concept art, so at least the artists work wasn't completely in vain. It wasn't necessarily meant as open map, this kind of concept art is usually supposed to define the general feel of a location, especially in the early stages of development. It rarely ends up as template for the actual in-game location, unless the developers had something very specific in mind. No reason for the artist to be disappointed, even if the concept art in many cases looks much better than what was implemented in the game or some good ideas had to be dropped due to technical limitations, it's just the way it goes. For those interested, there is some very nice concept art for Voeld on Ben Lo's tumblr page. I would like to see the places just like the concept arts though.

As lovely as the image is, I'd much rather that they didn't add Aya as a world to explore, I'm quite happy seeing it as a hub, I'd much rather see a new planet.

I mean Hawaya... oops, Aya would look like if we got to explore it

Scott Hauenstein @shatterhand1701 @tibermoon You've left me with no reason to disbelieve you've abandoned #MassEffectAndromeda and its fans. We deserved better than that. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonI'm sorry you feel abandoned. We patched the game again and added new MP content as recently as 10 days ago. Matt Hansen @matthewhn7 I think the lack of clarification of singleplayer DLC to a fan base who thinks the franchise is dead. Is the cause for that feeling. Ian S. Frazier @tibermoonI can understand that. Alas, I can neither confirm nor deny SP DLC plans. NDAs and all that.

NDA probably exist for a reason, but it is not consumer friendly, and it just creates the situations we've been seeing lately with more and more kindle for the fire. EA/Bioware could end all the Mass Effect on ice rumors with a single statement, so why don't they? Is it fair that the fans have to suffer over this? Not at all. I just wish Bioware was free of the corporate non-sense and could speak to us again, for real. Oh well, gotta put up with this. I really feel for the developers, it must be hell on Earth to work under such a system.

Its like they expect the world may end tommorow so dammit, we need our Mass Effect.

People are way too quick to play the victim card in my opinion. Bioware doesn't OWE us DLC and just because they're not selling it doesn't mean they "abandoned" the fans when they're still patching the game and working on MP content. The guy might as well be saying "I understand you guys put effort into the game but I don't care about it so it doesn't count and your work is for nothing". You are not being personally victimized by Bioware not releasing DLC. You paid for a game, bought it and played it and received fixes for it via patches. You didn't pay for DLC. They don't owe you DLC or DLC news or anything DLC related, so quit with the anti-consumer bullshit. The entitlement is quite frankly ridiculous.

Frazier @tibermoonI can understand that. Alas, I can neither confirm nor deny SP DLC plans. NDAs and all that. Unfortunately MP is not something that fans want out of a BioWare game. I'd really want to read said NDA, one day. However it's probably chalk full of legal words that I'll never understand. Like I doubt it's as simple as, "Thou shall not talk about dlc--Ever!" However if the NDA is running this long-I must say why bother? Especially if the decision has been made that there will be no dlc. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are NDA's only to protect future content and not whatever coming out? Like BioWare revealed that the Exalted March was never coming out for DA2, but then focused dev on what would become DAI.

You don't get an NDA if you rag on the devs/PR person. That or you're just an asshat.
