Not at that scale. You would find small bits of long abandoned super advanced tech. A disk here a beacon there. No massive set up that shows a map to hundreds of other worlds across the galaxy. All containing vaults of advanced tech is exactly how the Halo Series is going and has been going particularly since Halo 4 when they started the Reclaimer Trilogy. Have to disagree because we do that a lot on ME1 and less on ME2 and ME3. Besides, you really can't infer the whole game will be about finding and exploring ancient alien tech just because of one small tech video. No you really don't. To start the Prothean tech is in a barely usable form as it has degraded. The only major bit that is found is Beacon. Even on Ilos most of the tech had degraded over the years to near inoperable form. This video shows a vault that is still very much up and running in near pristine condition despite it evidently being very old. Just like Forerunner tech. That same vault shows connections to dozens of different worlds. Which is just like the Forerunner key that was suppose to go to Humanity which would lead them to vaults filled with still functioning Forerunner tech.

Then we mean different things because i was counting with the exploration of any kind of ancient technology no matter their state of preservation.

<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> Something about Ryder's physique has bothered me from the moment I saw it. Same with Jacob's in DA2. Here is what I see: Ryder's shoulder to crotch length is to long and Jacob suffered from the same defect. A natural standing pose for "normals" will show the tips of the fingers below the crotch. Below are two pics. One of Ryder and another a stock photo of a standing man. Anyone else see this distortion? You're right....I noticed this on Kai Leng but not on Jacob. I thought it was just a peculiarity to that character (like some people have shorter arms) but.. uh... yeah The hell, Bioware?

We got more than i expected and it looks good. The asari looks great but not sure on male Ryder face or voice and also not sure i like the family options but will wait and see. So far the game looks good with good graphics. <<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> I agree, that the video is a graphics showcase but little else about the characters. Imo, Bio attended the Sony NEO presentation to "market" Mass Effect: Andromeda and at the same time announced it supports 4k resolution and HDR graphics with the PS4 Pro. The Sony hardware console presentation is a perfect platform because it had a captive audience (streaming viewers included). Also cheap on the marketing dollars. A win-win for the studio. What I got out of it. The new info, as you pointed out, confirms the three members of the Ryder family. Also, the use of the jet pack (not impressed so far), the ninja turtle Asari, scanning tech that is much better than the submarine ping in DA:I, a holographic map of possible Remnant tech locations = reason for more exploration = 36 planets to explore at least, two unknown humans, a Carnifex pistol and the Remnant Vault Guardians that can attack you. Oh, the video also revealed a walking, running and sprint option, a new way to jump over an obstacle and how we can interact with doors and control consoles and Ryder is a lefty with a nice butt and dangling straps. The weapon on Ryder's left side confirms the studio's announcement that you can choose to shoot from your right or left. I think I covered most of it.

IMO, the quality of the background music and sound effects are very good, and adds to the immersive feel. I like what I've 'heard' in the PS4-Pro vid.

They had shaved the Asari's eyebrows (which is kinda nice of them). No they didn't.

Scale is not really relevant so long as the principle is the same.

<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>> Say, what do you guys think about the background music and audio effects? - when exploring - when fighting? Is there any hints of the familiar? The music seemed familiar but without feeling like it was the same old; the music that begins near the end of the cutscene is an example. The music also do not seem to dominate a scene: it raises things like the atmosphere of a scene but without distracting from what is going on in said scene. There also seems to be a nice balance of silence and music.

But all the Prothean stuff found which isn't up kept every 50,000 years. Is barely functioning. So unless there is an equivalent to Reapers in Andromeda Galaxy. It is very very questionable.

Anyway, the Remnant are an ancient race that left tech behind all over. <== This is Halo Forerunner equivalent, imo From the Bio Survey Leak: ".. .Acquiring artifact triggers defense systems: robots, traps, and restructured layout. ..." From Reddit Leak: " Remnant Vault Raids: Find and activate Remnant Monoliths to unlock Remnant vaults. Explore abandoned Remnant ruins to find and locate a powerful artifact, but once you remove it you will trigger the vault defenses that will arm traps, activate defense robots and even change the architecture of the vault itself to stop you from escaping..."

Am I the only one who's not really a fan of the pure white armour that Ryder's wearing, that seems to be the default look? It looked okay on FemRyder in the previous trailer, but the tech demo made it look far less flattering on BroRyder. I know it's an early pre-Alpha so they have time to refine it and that customising our armour has been around since ME2 so we can obviously change the colour, but as a default look for Ryder they might put on the cover art... it's kinda meh? The suit design itself looks fine, but a nagging voice in my head keeps asking "Does it come in black?"

But finding long-abandoned super advanced tech is pretty much the basis of the entire Mass Effect franchise. Which spelled nothing but disaster. A lot of themes of ME was against uplift. That was the main conflict with TIM, for example. While Saren knew we were screwed too, but he tried to work around it. Then Javik's reveal added further to how deluded people like Liara were. Perhaps for the suckers that gotta live there, but as far as the narrative goes, uplift is the cat's pajamas. A galaxy with no rachni wars and krogan rebellions is not a galaxy I'd want.
