Mass Effect: Andromeda | Game Awards Gameplay Hidden Gems Trailer Analysis [BioFan Video]

Finally...many thanks Biofan,I will start watch right now.

Great video! I love how you take your time and show really cool stuff you notice, the effort you put into this was amazing! Keep rockin'

Somebody in the comments said it could be a dark star.

Yes. When a black hole is 'eating' and has an accretion disc, they become some of the brightest objects in the universe. This is because of a few factors, such as speed and temperature heating the objects caught within. Now I suppose if it was 'eating' very little it could show up dark like that just because there are too few atoms to produce the light(after all when eating nothing a black hole has no accretion disc whatsoever and is so dark as to be invisible unless it blocks the light of something), but considering how the rest of the Helius Cluster is depicted and even the accretion disc we see that wouldn't be the case since there is loads of gas and dust in it for it to feed on and generate a bright accretion disc.

Other than that, I doubt it is a black hole for other reasons. For starters we would not be going to that planet if it was that close due to things like radiation, the planet seems too close to the object to still be in one piece, there is a star in the edge of that shot which seems to be even closer and yet also not effected, and with that and the further out shots that object is far too big to be a regular black hole and Andromeda only has one supermassive black hole and that's in its center. 

I was actually thinking of the image we saw in the first AI training video that showed the entire Hellius Cluster. The object is several times larger than the stars. 

Personally, I think that object is part of the whole gravity well plot that is being hinted in the various videos and interviews Bioware have been showing us. 

Good stuff. You missed a couple of aliens though. Like this gent (?):



And there was another one (humanoid) in the combat segment of the video.

BTW, you said you wanted to do another video. If you want to do an in-deep talk about weapons and stuff, I think I've listed all known (including the latest, Crusader) and unknown already, assuming you don't want to miss any. It's all in the CSI thread, and if by chance you want to use any of my screens or whatever, feel free no need to ask for permission or anything.

I thought the whole point of a black hole was that the gravity was so intense that not even light could escape it?

I guess if they show up bright from a distance then it's the bright stuff further out from the centre that we see. But, in that case, wouldn't what we see be consistent with that, given that there does seem to be a brighter corona around it.

Someone mentioned in another analysis that they saw the Krogan in blue seeming to bow to Ryder as she went past. That does seem to be evident in this. Not just the one she goes past at the top of the stairs but the one below, also. It could just be random movement that just makes it look like it but it makes you wonder!

Nice analysis vid!
Something else I noticed..seems like we are fighting against Sloane Kelly's men in the first big fight...

Hmm... it's a possibility. Everything but the head is very Turian-like I admit, specially the shape of the chest armor. But whatever that thing on his/her head is, it must be a full helmet then. It has bright big orange eyes, and I'm not seeing anything resembling a turian-like face.
If only we had access to the uncompressed video and not the garbage from youtube... if only. It's amazing how much of a difference it can make.

Good video as always. You made the claim that you do not think b the three power limit will be the three power limit. I am curious to know what evidence you have for that claim.

isn't the new bar/hangout called the Vortex - maybe in relation to that black whatever thing it is (star, hole etc.)
and I a prior game the also had the Dark Star lounge if I remember correctly

Anyway, BioFan thanks a lot for all your videos and your continuing enthusiasm.

Thanks for the work you put into this! I learnt stuff.

I love your conviction that we will have more than three active powers, since this is a big issue for me. However, I think you're wrong about the three 'locked' spaced on the wheel menu being for powers.

The top 4 slots on the wheel have a blue trim with a weapon logo above them, while the bottom 4 have a red trim with an ammo logo below. This says to me that the wheel is exclusively for weapons and ammo. I'm guessing the locked slots can be opened by perks or combat passives that allow you to carry more weapons/ammo.

BTW, a few of us did an analysis of the new power icons in the powers speculationz thread:
