IGN Video: Mass Effect Andromeda: A Tour of the Nexus

The NPCs look terrible. Bethesda quality. I think at this point everyone should go into the game with low expectations in regards to the animations. It is going to be bad at release.

The Nexus' lounge looks lame too, though the activities that take place there make it sound like it may be more interesting than Afterlife or Purgatory.

I'm still waiting for my Elcor romance Bioware!

Honestly the only reason facial animations are being picked on so much is because that is virtually all we are seeing. Cut scene content focusing on...you get it...facial animations. When we get to the game and the hundred or so hours it will probably take to finish these ten minute cut scenes and just flashes of 'bad animation' will just fade into the background.

Slam poetry?

Please be Elcor. 

If the slam poet isn't there for comedy (Hanar or Elcor), I hope there is an out-the-airlock renegade interrupt.

Because filling the lounge with pretentious melodrama would not be an improvement.

Also because the faces are more realistic than ever. So uncanny valley becomes a real problem. With low quality models/meshes/textures it doesn't bother you that the animations are also shit. When they start looking like real faces, but don't move like real faces, it's very jarring.

Watch, people are going to spam reviews with scores of zero stating the facial animations are bad.

I'm betting he knows all about the Reapers and the threat they pose. Alec is a N7 and probably had access to everything Shepard would have reported. Probably a few others on the AI mission know as well. Also wouldn't be surprised if information was relayed to the the Arks while they were sleeping.

So...The Vortex Club? Anyone?

Which we'd have to pretend to enjoy?

The eyes in this game look like eyes from bronze ancient Greek statues made up from enamel...

I doubt it's actually of comparable size... IGN didn't quite know what they talk about there, I recon. Also: I guess the station will eventually be a trade and governmental hub as the Citadel, so people will live and work there, even if the actually have a home on one of the colonies.
