To be honest, this trailer looks pretty cool. The characters look appealing, and there doesn’t seem to be any obvious political messaging.It’s a shame the game was canceled.Because we all know that even if the game had actually been released, it wouldn’t have been fun,it would still have been crammed full of DEI content.BioWare had it coming.https://x.com/kalaelizabeth/status/2113300791146790915
>>750173906>The characters look appealing
>>750173906Real talk, I 100% expect EA to have some random studio make a Mass Effect 1 remake.
>>750173906>CG trailer with zero gameplay made to trick chuds looked good In other news: https://youtu.be/W3QkO8fy3tg https://youtu.be/12m0bw1W_tk
>>750174217It's true,just look at those boobs.
>>750173906Thane, my love. It was a good trailer. I loved the krogans fighting in the bar.
>six years of adult daycare>now suddenly there's a trailer
>>750174752where?
>>750173906>asian male protagKEKAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOA
>>750174424>made to trick chuds looked goodThis trailer was essentially meant to deceive the company's shareholders, just like the "Perfect Dark" trailer. It was done to prevent the shareholders from deciding to fire them.Interestingly, this trailer actually looks pretty good,they know how to create compelling character designs. Those idiots just didn't want to give it to us. Then they got laid off.
>>750174397EA never does anything with dead IPs, just sits on themWhy do you think it'll be different
Zhong Shen Pad wouldn't work
>>750173906It's completely soulless and derivative, plus was probably barely functional I'm glad it's dead make a new scifi rpg franchise
>>750175237>Why do you think it'll be differentHalf of the $40 billion Saudi prince spent to acquire EA came from loans.They need to find a way to liquidate assets to repay the debt.Selling IP is one option.
they really made an asian male protag? WHY.it's like they are terminally contrarian and allergic to success
>>750173906>AI sounding dialogThey slopped this together, didn't they?
>>750175343Well they must have hundreds of dead IPs but who'd buy
>>750175404meds status?
>>750175393white man bad
>>750175393Asian male protag can be done but cannot ever be done by Canadian cucks
>>750175393That was gonna be the least of the game's problems.
>>750175237even asian games have white protags>>750175582it works when everyone is asian>>750175609did you watch the whole trailer? what's the plot supposed to be
>>750175424>who'd buyI'd love to buy "Mass Effect," but unfortunately, I don't have the money.
Game would've probably had more of a melee focus with how much of an emphasis there is in the trailer.
>>750175656Exactly, the whole cast must be Asian and never a bunch of self hating white making it. That's how you get layoff slop
>>750175780I meant what dev/publisher would buy dead EA IPs The market is getting too consolidated
>>750175393I would assume this game would have had character creation, so I can't imagine this being a problem for anyone who isn't autistically attached to only playing as the default
Games never end up like their trailers and definitely not BioWare games, why are you creaming your pants at a funeral
>>750175878>I meant what dev/publisher would buy dead EA IPsAs long as the price is low enough, big companies will buy anything.However, I don't believe anyone would spend $100 million to acquire the Mass Effect IP.$20 million at most.
Looks like one of those horrifically dubbed b movies
>>750175878>I meant what dev/publisher would buy dead EA IPsprobably more than you think but ea's asking price is likely way more than anyone would care to pay, assuming they would actually part with an ip and not have all manner of strings attached to a potential deal.
I'd be more impressed if you leaked the source code.
>>750176139>implying there's a game"early development"
>>750176085Didn't EA go private recently?
>>750176180>6 years
>>750176085The Saudi prince may opt for a comprehensive IP licensing strategy.They won’t sell the IP, but will earn licensing fees by licensing the games.However, they won’t make any investments themselves.This way, they can make some money without having to sell the IP.
>>750176229>small indie developer, please understand
>>750176262One thing is certain FIFA will return, they'll pay to get the license in the name
>>750173906> there doesn’t seem to be any obvious political messagingBecause they were learning to leave it out of the marketing. Bait & Switch
>>750176371>FIFAMBS will make Saudi players super powerful.If you want to win, you have to pick the Saudis.Hahaha.
I thought the Saudis might actually make cool games but I guess they really are just jews with beards.
Trailer looks like shit. The combat animations are clearly mocapped by amateur stuntmen led by amateur directors. Worse than TDKR and the sequel trilogie's attrocious "fight choreography" by miles.
>>750173906Looks like absolute dogshit, just like Andromeda, just like Anthem, just like Veilguard. Glad bioware is fucking gone.For far too long they've been riding on the old glory days of the talented devs who used to work there.
>>750175582Worked out for United Front Games.
>>750175797that's fucking retarded, two turians getting ganked like that by a fucking azn
>>750177067He's still an N7.
>>750177059The whole cast was AsianTry making that shit these days and you get the seven dwarves treatment before they put the CGI foot down
>>750175924/thread
>>750173906good, good ridance.
>>750177189The ryder twins cosplayed N7 too
>>750175797>press X to watch takedown animationYou press a button and something awesome has to happen!So Button+Awesome connected now
After 15 years of repeated failures I am sure Bioware would've gotten it right this time. What a loss for gaming world ugh someone please hire these talented Bioware devs and give them 500 million to realize their vision under a new name @Sony @Microsoft
>>750173906genuinely looks like it had less going on than mass effect 1 dlc
It would have been a bigger trainwreck than Andromeda
>>750173906It looks exactly like andromeda wtf. Zero soul.
>>750177294They've been shitting the bed for at least 15 yearshttps://n4g.com/news/696379/bioware-we-want-call-of-dutys-audience
Your response?
>>750177442He sounds desperate for employment
>>750173906>To be honest, this trailer looks pretty coolNo.>The characters look appealing,No.I can't believe this place still has Biodrones.
>>750177274>cosplayedExactly, they weren't. They didn't go through the training, they just equipped daddy's armor (and only for biotic builds). Far as we know John Asian was N7 just like Shepard, only he left the Alliance and turned into some bounty hunter agent of Liara or something.
>>750177442>enjoy arguingthe point of arguing is to meet in the middlethis guy is just obstinatebased? no, just export product coded
>>750175797This would have just been an awkward cutscene like the shit we saw in Andromeda but worse
>>750177569Should call him Zhong Shepard, the secret asian
>>750174397Dead Space Remake was pretty fucking impressive, but it wasn't EA that initiated it. It was another studio pitching it as a passion project, at the Covid 19 times where it was seen as okay to experiment with, and turned out almost phenomenally good, even though it was written by one of the Mass Effect Andromeda writers.Making a Mass Effect remake is like whoof.. there's so much to get right and so much you can get wrong beyond basic gameplay, you know?You have to make sure the characters look appealing just talking at each other in shot-reverse-shot. The art-style has to look like it's supposed to with new artists. The Dialogue Wheel has to be there and you can't suddenly skimp on choices. The side-quests on the Citadel, the really boring ones that a lot of people wanted to skip, all have to be there, and all the missable side-branches on Noveria have to be there that can result in like 3-4 different outcomes, and all the extra routes in the Rachni lab have to be there, and all the tiny details.ME1 is an anomaly because BioWare was still a private company at the time while working with Microsoft as publisher, so they got to have a push and pull where MS said "You're running out of budget, release now!" and BioWare going "Nuh-uh, we're extending the budget with our own funding bitches" and then tiptoeing around that relationship until they shipped it.That's why there's so many cool details in the first game that the EA sequels gutted. Once they became an "owned" studio, you just cannot put that careless amount of stuff into a game, and I think people seriously underestimate how much "stuff" there actually is in ME1. It can rival Witcher 3 at times.
>>750177737>zis is my fabolit stoh on za citaderr
I dont want to play as Dick Ryder or Semen Loo, if its not male Shepard it aint Mass Effect
>>750174397...Anon, they already did a Mass Effect 1 remake.
>>750177442That I think it's important to respect people who aren't open to gay shit or tranny sickness, and woke developers should be ostracized from the gaming industry, especially women.
>>750177762Noveria really was Mass Effect's peak.
>>750175202The funny thing is if a race of cow people existed this is probably how horribly deformed they would look like
>>750177442Okay, I don't have a problem with gay characters in games either but the studio still hadn't made a good game in 20 years and hadn't made a game that made money in over 10 years. If you can't make money for a decade you shouldn't expect to keep your job.
well someone still owns mass effect, which dev do you want it to be given to?
I don't care how it looks. Nu-BioWare couldn't be trusted. They died a long time ago.
>>750173906>this trailer looks pretty cool.Nah. It looks cliche, lame and AI. Plus it has nothing to do with the original game story wise which makes it even less interesting.
>>750177931probably Saber, they will deliver something more or less decent in a reasonable time and budget
>>750174397Retard
>>750177762>and I think people seriously underestimate how much "stuff" there actually is in ME1. It can rival Witcher 3 at times.Those "people" think 2 and 3 are better than 1, missing the point that the shooting was in service of the RPG elements. Streamlining the fuck out of everything just made it a GOW clone with magic.
Where is Tali? Is she safe? Is she all right?
>a cutscene trailerthe sad thing is some poor idiot will look at this and believe the whole game would be Just Like That
>>750177762>Dead Space Remake was pretty fucking impressiveIt's a commercial failure that made sure that DS franchise stays dead for good. They started worked on then next remake before the release, but it's all scrapped after the remake's dogshit performance in sales.
>>750176642Looks fucking retarded like AndromedaThey didn't learn anything, releasing trash after trash for 15 years. They were unironically gonna repeat the same mistake over and over until they ran out of money. EA made the right call.
>>750177442>wanted a same sex romance for-sounds like a faggot
>>7501781142 was arguably better than 1, but 3 was ass.
>>750177442why would you ever put this out there, wtf is wrong with people
>>750178378Yeah, no. On either account, actually.
>>750178316I am more offended by the gay or female krogan that was obviously voiced by an extremely homosexual sounding man than this retarded looking fight.
>>750178378>3 was assGroup thinker who gets their opinions from Youtubers and other groupthinker's take. 3 is a better game than 1 as a whole. Lose the nostalgia goggle, simpleton.
>>750174217>>750174752congrats you convinced me it was just going to be disgusting woke slop
>>750178501HAHAHAHAHA FAGGOT
>>7501783781>3>2>dog shit>POWER GAP>Andromeda
>>750177442>attempted to equate chuds to peopleya, he just doomed his social life for all time, and likely all employment opportunities if the leaks about bioware's hiring practices are at all true.
>>750178445I hate the prevalence of female alien counterparts in Andromeda. They did a good job hiring Lani Minella for that 1 Female krogan in ME3. That felt believable, but having them everywhere and just letting random foids voice them and add the "Krogan voice filter" sounds fucking shit.They literally took the main Krogan female in Andromeda and let her be voiced by the Josephine girl from Dragon Age Inquisition, the one who acts like a disney princess or something.
>>750173906Woke games have usually hidden their bullshit in most promotional material. You think Kingdom Come 2 made sure everybody knew about the gay romance before purchasing?
>>750177442kind of sounds like a retard trying to save face>see? I like this thing that most of our recents games shat on
>>750178514>3 was ass, group thinkerYes>3 is a better game than 1 as a wholeAnd you go and swing too much on the other direction Jesus Christ
>>750178594>Lani MinellaFemale Dunmer, my beloved.
>>750178164yes as long as you didnt romance her
>>750175924Because it was clearly headed in a better direction than expected
>>750173906This looks like a bunch of lame visionless slop pasted together. If this is their best, their best won’t do.
>>750178695>Not Rouge the Bat, my beloved
>>750178719Conjecture If Bioware hadn't been shut down you'd be saying something else
>>750178514>>750178581Nig, i saved both geth and quarians in my first playthough back then. 3 was all about cost cutting, even the fucking running animations were dogshit because of that. The story was a complete mess. Wtf are you revisionist niggers even talking about?
>>750178594For me, it's how female krogan in 3 were covered head to toe in robes as a societal norm yet they made them look like pic related in Andromeda.
>>750178378Disagree, the exploration, world building, story, writing, characters, locations, choices were all better. ME2 dumbed everything down and streamlined every aspect to make it more accesible, sacrificing what made ME1 great. The story in ME2 is the definition of wasted potential and retarded towards the end, ME3 is shit from beginnig to end.
>>7501788392 is capeshitWhy does Shepard even die since it never gets addressed afterwardsThermal clipsMac Walters is a shit writer
>>750173906Cool, generic CG Mass Effect action, with no gameplay at all.Six fucking years for this?
>>750178893They must've written some gay lore as well
>>750173906looks ass, notice they didn't use the new gay aliens from andromeda because its all nostalgia bait to try and drum up a new buyer before they insert more faggy shitthey even defaced liara for this shit
>>750175797>ai jeetslop
>>750175797Is this AI generated? If not it couldn’t hurt at this point. Holy shit that looks bad.
>>750178804Nobody would be saying this looks near as bad as Veilguard or even Andromeda
>>750178316>bollywood jeet fight
>>750173906The original avowed trailer was cool too btw
>>750177442>years ago i was a progressive guy who wrote some edgy things you liked but also pushed for gay things you all hate>but now i'm a full conservative cunt and i honestly believe my faggot son is going to go to hell, and me and my little faggot son enjoy arguing whether gay people should be allowed to get married or trans people even have a right to exist or would ever see the grace of Godincredible, yeah I'm sure your son likes you man and isn't actually just trying to reason with you a little before they fully shut you out of their life because they know deep down you hate them for what they've become lmao
>Woke diversity hire protagWe want White, Christian and Conservative game protagonists This is why you went out of business
>>750178975well the "new" aliens from andromeda were in another galaxy so of course they wouldnt be in the game that takes place in the milky way galaxy
>>750177442>It's EA's fault that we kept retconning the lore and making it worse as well as making it so none of the games that came before have any choices that matter
>>750173906looks pretty meh, whats with the praise?
>>750173906>full of DEI contentliquid brain comment
>>750178839>3 was all about cost cuttingWhat choice from ME1 matters in ME2? Where's my human Council? Why does the rescued Council forget their speech at the end of ME1? Why is Cerberus now a 20yo company founded by a glownigger instead of the Alliance spec ops group that went rogue 6 months ago as stated in ME1? If I'm an Akuze Shepard, why am I forced to work for the terrorist group that killed my friends and scarred me for life? Why does the decision regarding Garrus' future with C-Sec/Spectres not matter because he's turned into discount Batman? Why is Horizon forced into making Shepard out to be a drooling moron just so the Virmire Survivor can leave the game after 30 seconds of screentime when they were meant to be a squadmate across the trilogy?You know what game actually tried to confront choices from the past instead of running away from them and hoping players would eat it up like straight up not bothering to create a new Council if you killed the old one or replacing Garrus' two choices with a new third one that utterly ignores the player's involvement in the last game? Because it wasn't 2. Reminder 3 has a sidequest that checks for:>UNC: Asari Writings>Feros: Data Recovery>Citadel: Rita's Sister>purchasing the Elkoss Combine armory license>keeping Conrad Verner alive through the past 2 gamesWhere was that shit in the second game? Why is ME3, the game with the hardest development compared with ME2, the only one that distinguishes between Wreav and Wrex mechanically? Between having or not recruited/kept alive past squadmates? So much so small dialogue choices 99% of players don't even realize exist had care put into them (pic related, right text box)? I implore you, think for yourself about what ME3 actually ends up mechanically and narratively offering.
>>750178975>>750179234In some of the promo material for the cancelled 5th game they had ship designs and alien silhouettes that are either directly from Andromeda (this is a bad thing since the aesthetic of ME1/2 is completely obliterated in those games) so either they were going to fold some ME:A lore into the game since it takes place in the far future (Liara has noticeably aged even though she's essentially 18 in Asari years in ME1/2/3)
>>750177442>we TOTALLY didn't put all that gayy shit in there it was uhh umm ea's fault, yeah!>i totally enjoy this awesome thing trust me, w-why wasn't it in our games well uhhhhh
>>750179234Anon...
>>750177442>you remember those hideous ugly monstrous land whales related to Dragon Age (outside of tumblr)? Yeah, I made them, so say “thank you, chud!”
>>750173906>We could've smashed male Quarian bussy.I hate this timeline.
>>750177442People like this lost their jobs because they were too scared of speaking up. Now it's too late to speak up. Up against the wall commie.
>>750179507The Broodmothers were kino, nu-BioWare could never.>First day, they come and catch everyone>Second day, they beat us and eat some for meat>Third day, the men are all gnawed on again>Fourth day, we wait and fear for our fate>Fifth day, they return and it's another girl's turn>Sixth day, her screams we hear in our dreams>Seventh day, she grew as in her mouth they spew>Eighth day, we hated as she is violated>Ninth day, she grins and devours her kin>Now she does feast, as she's become the beast>Now you lay and wait, for their screams will haunt you in your dreams
>>750179124Low bar yeah
>>750178316Not enough dramatic closeup slowdowns saar
>>750179324Fanboys weeping over a casket
>>750173906> some random cinematic cutscene is all they had to show after 6 yearslol, lmao.
>>750177442>DUDE WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER RUINING THE WRITINGFunny because literally none of the shit they added to the series points to that being the case. They constantly turned shit like the Qunari from an interesting race/civilization that had members actively get mad at you for having women in combat at all in the first game to being California style liberals by the 3rd and 4th game that love trannies for some fucking reason.Nobody forced them to do that you can have groups/factions/characters that don't support your own personal politics in games that's what makes them interesting in the first place.How a character/faction navigates the setting with their beliefs, the moral dilemmas/scenarios they face and how they/you as a player deal with them.Americans though are cultural cancers that can't have anyone that is somewhat three dimensional be portrayed as anything other than zealot like bigots or complete fucking drooling retards (usually both).Bioware took character like Loghain that had interesting and understandable reasons for having his hardline views and made is so in Veilguard it wasn't his own personal beliefs shaped by his past that caused him to plunge the realm into a succession crisis actually it was an evil unseen secret society that were never mentioned until now.Cerberus in Mass Effect took a similar turn where the 1st to 2nd game sets them up as a shadowy origination in the 1st game but then the 2nd tries to sand off some of their more rough edges and portray why humanity might want hardliners fighting for its interests in morally questionable ways (This is actually a good thing) but by the 3rd game they're just retarded evil cartoon villains with access to unlimited manpower and weapons.Bioware died long ago S
>>750173906>asian male used in marketing material>amwf interracial romance in the marketing materialReeks of r/asianmasculinity
>>750173906>andromeda look and feel with some simu liu looking dudeLooks like shit. Glad it got scrapped.
>>750175393Just use the character customisation you retard
>>750175797I'd like to think that was more of a class trailer showing off Biotic or Vanguard.
>>750179745They destroyed Ferelden in a cutscene rather than write it inFuck these humongous faggots who'd rather write off than resolve plots
>>750173906All of the hype for this trailer honestly feels forced. Like, are people really supporting this?It looks like the most generic sci-fi trailer ever with horrible animations and a Mass-Effect skin on it. Like people are seriously saying they shouldn't shut down the studio when THIS is all they have after 5 years? It looks like one of those bad Xbox 360 games that everyone forgot about after 3 months around the time of Mass Effect 2/3. Like Too Human or Fracture.
>>750177442>i was responsible for the broodmothers in origins ok? they look like shit. what is his point?
>>750180196He's an edgy boi
>>750173906>last couple of games were expensive flops>haven't made a good game in 16 years>spent almost a decade with this to show forretards will still claim they were 2 nanoseconds from releasing a timeless masterpiece that was totally going to be different from every other game they've made in the last decade if only they weren't shut down by the evil executives!
>>750177901There's a difference between having some gay/bi characters (or just making them all main character-sexual) and pushing all of the trans/non-binary/etc shit. Like, I wouldn't even be bothered if the characters were well written but they never are. Old games would give hints at a character's story and you would have to interact with them to find it out. Modern games just have the characters be basically caricatures being pushed into your face the moment you meet them with zero subtly or taste.
>>750173906HAHAHAHAHAEAT SHIT TROONOWARE
>>750173906>Folx, Andromeda nearly sunk us and we can't afford another one. I really hate to say this, but our MC needs to be male>Fine...but we're not going him white>As long as he's not black
>>750178839I actually agree. I enjoyed 2 but the people pretending these games were ever a master class in quality are insane. Mass Effect has always been generic sci-fi slop. It's just people finally grew up.
>>750173906Looks really bad honestly
>>750175393Eh dunno, im white and i dont mind what the trailer protag looks like. At least he isnt black. Asian protags in western games are so fucking rare anyways so it is unironically different.
>>750180498It'd look "fine" as a teaser trailer if it was being made by anyone but BioWare.
>>750177442>a literal christcuck with a gay sonKEKAROOOOOOOOOOOO
looks cringe
>>750181092>bioware's valuesdon't have anymore values now, heh.
>>750173906As soon as the action starts the character animations are hilariously shit>>750175797Total comedy
>>750178651Gameplay is better in 1? Visuals are better in 1? Only thing I can give you is story but even that is subjective. I personally enjoy all the story setups in previous games coming to a conclusion in 3. ME1 does a good job of setting up the world but 2 and 3 are indisputably superior games.
>>750175797yo I heard you like dem melee stealth takedowns https://youtu.be/XFfkc3w8rL8
>>750181285lol "all the story setups in previous games coming to a conclusion" yeah sure if you consider throwing all that shit out a conclusion
>>750173906>masculine male lead>attractive female charactersIt looks like azn James Bond in space. I'm sure it would've been shit, but at least it seems like they were learning from their mistakes>>750177862You're either a zoomer or you seem to be forgetting that a majority Bioware games most of us loved had gay romance options>especially womenI think this is realistically the core problem. Female writers. Not gays
>>750173906Am I crazy for thinking that's Sima Liu?
>>750175582This is a very ironic post because the character you posted is literally a canon cuck and better man.
>>750181285>Gameplay is better in 1?Gunplay and general combat? No. Everything else? Yeah.>Visuals are better in 1?As in graphical fidelity? No. As in artstyle? Fuck yes.It's 1 > 3 > 2

LOL
>>750181727kek
>>750177442>my son is gay blah blah blahWe dont care man just make a good video game for fucks sake.
>>750181664>film grainWhat's the point of film grain, anyway?Besides making the game graphics look like crap, does it serve any other purpose?
>>750181894You wouldn't get it.
>>750181894It's a solution for color/shade banding, but most of the time it's just implemented by devs to look "cinematic". It's pretty easy to mitigate banding in other ways, and there's no reason for filmgrain to be so visually prominent anyway
>>750181894It can work well on certain games. Silent Hill 2 for example. For ME1, it was to try and convey the mood of the 70s scifi shows the game was a love letter to.
Why would they do this to Liara?
When I hear about things like Bioware magic and Bungie magic the reality is 20 years ago it was much easier to be a game developer and shit out things than it is now and all that happened is all these companies didn't adapt with the times and are dying.
>>750181894>What's the point of film grain, anyway?To trick your brain into thinking it looks better than it actually looks.
>>750181545>most of us lovedand they were part of the problem but im sure you enjoyed them, fag boy
>>750181819I find it more weird that these people are using linkedin for their political views.
>>750181545To be fair the old games weren't showing the gay and trans shit in your face until Dragon Age Inquisition. They were progressive but not woke. Even Inquisition wasn't really too bad about it but after that...garbage.
>>750181819It's kinda funny that this comes out on the same day that it also comes out that the US dept of state now hires people based on who they voted for.
Why are there so many posts about the main charvater when everyone knows ME has a character creatorAre three unironic bots or what
>>750182426Election tourists
>>750182426Postyer characters matter though.
>>750182273The truth of the matter if that 2000s lefties are almost right wing compared with 2020s lefties. Mass Effect 1 is clearly a lefty game but it allows you to be a gruff military cop who punches a journalist on live TV and fucks alien babes. Fast-forward 17 years and Taash sits in front of you, opens reddit and starts telling you and her mom how she's non-binary now and that means her pronouns are they/them and if you misgender her you gotta pull a Bharv. At some point they just lost the plot.
>>750182426>didn't play with default Sheploo and FemShep You didn't beat the game.
>>750173906This is going to be AI garbage, isn't it. I haven't even started playing the video and I can already feel it.
>>750182689Good morning sir
>>750182426This game has terrible custom characters who just look like an NPC
>>7501739061.) It’s just rendered cutscenes. 2.) It looks kinda tropey and gay.3.) Weren’t all the mass relays destroyed?4.) The MC would have been trans.
>>750182426shows what the dev value, and a non white protag infers woke devs, thus shit game.
>>750181664There still isn't anything that's like planet exploration in ME1 and it makes me sad
>>750183789It hurts
I just wanted to hang out with my people one more time..and have female Turian romance options.Was it really too much to ask?
at this point it's safe to assume that every piece of media is going to be shit. especially cancelled media developed by provably garbage companies like Bioware.we missed out on absolutely nothing.
>>750183860Oh yeah, there also isn't anything like Mako either. Fun to drive and thick wheels are sexy
>>750183860>better than Starfield
>>750182645It's a weird situation where the far left and far right have both lost the plot completely. You have left wings that feel the need to shove trans garbage into every game they can for 'representation' and the right wings have become so crazy that even a thought of something that isn't a typical joe Everyman in a game sends them to a frothing-at-the-mouth conniption. Like if Dragon Age: Origins released today the left would complain that it wasn't progressive enough/needs more and the right would scream that the gay characters were completely taking over the story and that the game was woke garbage.
>>750177442>Years later, my son told me he was gay>I converted to Catholicism several years agodude got mindraped
>More Liara Sue wankeryHonestly I'm glad this game got shelved. I really don't need more Liara to take over the plot like a tumour.
>>750184146>thought of something that isn't a typical joe Everyman in a game sends them to a frothing-at-the-mouth conniption.Which is incredibly ironic because /v/ shitposted bald white john space marine non-stop for like a decade, but now if you have anyone who isn't him in a game it's automatically "woke".
>>750184035>>750184130Bros
>>750178501What's he going to do have another Muppet on stage?
>>750178501Who's the tranny
>>750177881Without a question, it was its peak 15
>>750175914Then 90% of players would have a White MC with a chinky voice. Instant flop.Just cast a normal person for the default.
Mass Effect is Shepard’s story. They needed the game to be an actual sequel to 3. Make an ending that fits and make it canonically the ending and have him help rebuild. They didn’t want to put in the work though to deal with all the decisions and dead squad mates because they aren’t people passionate they are just fags looking for paychecks
>>750184534They should've just done spin-offs with the setting instead of having tried to continue the story / timeline. Plenty that you could with the setting even without the reaper conflict
>>750173906The action segments looked sluggish and weak: they clearly got rid of whoever was behind the good cinematic trailers of the past
>>750177442The problem wasn't ever having gay characters, it was giving nothing for straight men to gap to. BG3 was successful because it had waifus: the last bioware game with actual waifus was DA2
>>750173906Why is modern art always so clean and smooth looking? It's so fake. Old vidya felt rough and lived-in.
>>750177442>worked on the games you lov-Stopped reading there
>>750175797but that not what mass effect is aboutin all mass effect games enemies are tanky, not 1 shoted, a mele class used masive omni blade, on normal it took 3 bullets to head from pistol to kill a basic enemy healthbar (not metioning shield)
Wow.Actually looks good.Shit's likely never ever coming out, but it's still nice to see my blue Asari scientist queen again.
>>750186220>likely
>>750175797turian humiliation ritual
Lots of miserable retards here, as is tradition.You really can't say that trailer looks bad. If it was shown on TGA, it wouldn't make me doom or shit on the game.Yes, it's just a CGI trailer, but it's good, it has 0 DEI vibes of current game trailers or reveals. James Bond spy Mass Effect sounds like a really good idea.I wouldn't start preaching the game would be amazing because there's 0 gameplay, but I'd say it's a pretty good start.I'm very glad Bioware is burning, fuck those mutant freaks, at the same time, I am pretty mad we were robbed of this, perhaps there was a chance for this game to be good.
>>750177442>they had little to no say in the things you disliked about >patrick weeks goes full nbtroon >character has companion quest about how she is an enbie troon
>>750174752Looks like Elon Musk’s son
>>750173906Should've leaked it a week ago, probably would have stopped EA shelving them. Oh well, hindsight and all that.
>>750181894It's anti twitch and youtube DRM
>>750187508>You really can't say that trailer looks bad.But I can say that the trailer has nothing to do with the end productDoes this trailer resemble the finished game? HELL NOhttps://youtu.be/uG8V9dRqSsw
>>750173906This is AI
>>750187968You're completely right. What I'm trying to say is that a good trailer like this (Andromeda had a good trailer too) is the correct step.Ofc you then need a good gameplay trailer and the game/story to ACTUALLY be good.But so far in the timeline, after seeing this trailer, I would be optimistic, and that would be a good thing after 6 years of silence and obscure N7 baits.
Both Exodus and The Expanse will end up better than ME5 ever would've. It's over. At best we can hope EA sells off the ME IP and we get a revival by someone who cares in a decade or so.
>>750173906>obvious scanfaceswould never play
>>750187791Garrus should've been bi.
The spy thriller kind of vibe and the look of the new N7 outfit I think were spot on for trying to make a new ME game that actually had some substance to it instead of being "worse version of previous game + american identity politics" that bioware got caught in the death spiral of doing towards the end and I think if they showed this clip at the Game Awards this year which seems extremely likely I think it would've gotten positive reception I just don't think Bioware had the leadership to deliver on anything anymore, and even if they had put competent people in decision making positions I doubt any of them were more importantly empowered to deliver by anyone in the managerial structure
>>750177442>insert gay shit into video game>years later my son told me he was gayOh what a coincidence, I'm sure his gay inserting religious dad wasn't a influence on that part.
>>750173906to be honesti meanto be fair
>>750177442>little or no say in the things you disliked about itWhy do they lie so blatantly? Quite literally the guy behind writing the most disliked character in the game was openly proud about it and later trooned out. And their defense squad does exactly the same, as if they hadn't glazed the fuck out of the game when it was releasing, and now pretend like it was always bad but that it all the fault of higher-ups meddling.
>>750175797>wickslop
>>750179183>that greentexthe said he converted to catholicsm which is a gay homosexual religion
>>750175797Unironically looks like AI.
>>750188273expanse is the most boring ass shit ive ever have the misfortune of enduring (my gf made me watch it with her)its pretty hard to make space boring but expanse managed just fine>no weird aliens>no sexy aliens>no badass alienswhat a dogshit and the game looks like dogshit tooexodus looks interesting doebait
>>750177294>that guy's name*sigh*
What is it with these retards and having people with guns pointlessly running up to die instead of shooting.
>>750173906It's fine but I could believe someone producing this with AI. The malfoid AI videos are also of high fidelity.
>>750177442>hey have I told you about my son's sexualitykek we've seen enoughget the normalfags out of the industry
>>750189494somebody thought this was cool
>>750182039>love lettersee pic>>750181894it exists to turn low detail, badly drawn hentai images into 20-50 MB monstrosities
>>750177442yeah he's right
>>750173906Unironically looks like AI slop.
>>750173906>ME 1-3Sheploo>ME 5Sheplee
>>750175067>>750175393I honestly believe this was the reason EA shut down themLike they saw the trailer they were working on, saw asian male protag, and realized Bioware would never learn and decided to end them right there
>>750173906>and there doesn’t seem to be any obvious political messaginggenerally seems like the play these days is to keep all of that stuff out of the public eye until people get their hands on it if games like the recent gears are anything to go by
i dont care the trailer looks good/promising if the actual game had been developed to look like this it would have been kino but so were the initial andromeda trailers and the end result was shitas much as i hate EA they gave bioware plenty of room / money and time for andromeda and anthem which they both fucked up and then still give them a shot with dragon age which turned into the biggest pozzed shit everall these companies need to burn to the ground
>>750177442>we didn't have a say about all of the hamfisted tranny and non binary bullshit in the game serious guysa fucking child would make a more convincing lie
>>750190492>saw asian male protagthats not an issue the guy looks finemuch better than the default faggot from andromeda
>>750173906>gone into development hell and never released>released and is bad>released and is goodThere's your order of most likely to least likely things this game would have been.
>>750175393yeah they shouldn't be offending browns with the other superior race. white or nothing
>>750191586it would have ended up like andromeda with the initial pre release material looking good and the actual game being shit or pozzed like dragon agethese people just cant help themselves
>>750177442>Okay, chud, we might have exclusively been hiring leftsissies who tow the line, but none of us WANTED to pozz the games!
>>750173906>The characters look appealinglol
>>750178501>Welcome to mass effect universe!
>>750191851even red handed these slimy fucks cant admit fault
>>750191851https://blog.bioware.com/2013/09/25/walk-a-mile-in-her-shoes/remember the time their wore high heels?
>>750177442>All the parts you liked were us. All the stuff you didn't though? TOTALLY not us.I can't even be that mad because there are clearly massive swaths of people who are, in fact, retarded enough to buy a line like that
>>750173906>non-white protagonist >it’s an ugly “western” media Asian>Shepard isn’t the main character despite being teased in the last trailerI’m glad everyone was fired!
>>750183930Bro, andromeda is right there?
>>750177067Just like Shepard at the club where you meet Morinth then.
>>750182426Because I can’t change the beta male voice
looks like the chink from marvel
>>750188726He is in mine, Gay Garrus is a requirement for all subsequent playthroughs.
>>750178310Another game I'd have purchased day 1 if they hadn't filled it with woke shit. It's astounding how many games I've not purchased because of this.
>>750177806why are some of you such fucking fags for this random fuckass character? it's like the football fans who are obsessed with ronaldo. think of him more than their girlfriends. you guys are absolute faggots holy shit just go to a gay bar
>>750188726Barbed penis.
>>750175393nigga that guy is basically a placeholder the protage can be changed to be whatever you want, or atleast could but the game is dead now
>>750175202>>IGN held by gunpoint.
>>750193210No more calibrating anymore. :'(
>>750185387>enemies are tanky, not 1 shotedExcept in every single cutscene across all three games.
>>750188273The universe for both looks infinitely more boring.
>>750173906>last chance game, still not far in development>yo, asian male protag is the best we can compromise and let's use a bunch of our budget to get the likeness of a hollywood tranny and put her next to a walled version of Liara to show that this is just how it is nowI wonder why EA shut them down and didn't give them another few hundred million and decade of dev time to try and make this a thing, it's a mystery to be sure.
>>750188273It's like the other anon said, Mass Effect's universe is just far more living and overall interesting. The other two look bland in comparison.
>>750195883I'm surprised they didn't make him a jeet. Then again, I think they already did that in Veilguard and sold him as white-passing.
Trailer was meh. Pretty generic stuff. the guy did look kind of onions
>>750194302a placeholder? so you can change who is in the video the advertisements show?
>>750188273isn't that the owlcat game?you can't be seriously expecting them to make a good game, they are essentially a bunch of scrubs using rpgmaker tier point and clicks, it's already the limit of their ability to make the game work after two years
>>7501794182 really got fucked over in the choice department due to it needing to be easily accessible and approachable to snoys who were unable to play the first game. Had the game remained pc/Xbox exclusive you would have seen more stuff from ME1 actually mattering.
>>750177442Maybe if the entire production stopped and said "Hey, we don't want to make the shit you want us to." to the (((People))) that get to decide things. Maybe then I'd care.
>>750196552yes ? it's an early trailer for EA execs and investors and you always could change how the mc looks
>>750179480ew Ew EW
>>750197116have fun tard wrangling ""artists"" who will argue back in 99 meetings every time you want to make a single change.for the record, the answer is no. the character models used in the promotional material cannot be changed, there is no 'use your custom character' option in a youtube ad
>>750198058>the character models used in the promotional material cannot be changed, there is no 'use your custom character' option in a youtube adAI customised ads soon
>blade runner espionage thrillerDamn.....
>>750173906>Bait&switch tacticsHow many times do you need to fall for this trick before the lesson sticks?Even ignoring that, how can any sane person have any faith in Bioware at this point?There is no goodwill left to burn, and hasn't been any since Anthem. They've been accumulating goodwill *debt* such is the scope of their staggering and sustained failure.I'm glad the studio is gone.Bioware has been a rotting husk for the majority of its existence, a sad thing infested with an ecology of useless parasites.Death is a mercy.
>>750198058this is a pointless argument anyway, the game is dead
>>750177442>textbook cuckpublican claims his views dont fit in neatly
Who did the writing for Star Wars: Zero Company? I'd love to see them write a Mass Effect. I think the prospect that someone else someday might be able to take a crack at it is exciting
>>750198976it's not pointless, he said a wrong thing, i must correct him, this is the internet after all
>>750199964You're not getting a new Mass Effect project until at least 2036.
>>750199964was that one good? i skipped it because it seemed like a shitty xcom knockoff, also mostly just weirdos were playing it, so i figured i'm not the target demo.might be good to pick it up later, though, once it gets some good mods, maybe some slopped up longwar thing
>>750200232I really enjoyed it, and thought the writing was pretty good for what it was. Kabb Uppercut feels like a Mass Effect character in his writing. It's a bit easy for an Xcom, but the classes and synergies between characters works really well
>>750200513would it still be all right if i don't care about star wars? i got the harry potter game, the hogwarts rollslop, and it was just a bunch of hp references one after the other, i don't really care about hp much so the game fell flat for me, is sw:zc like that?
>>750200616It's set in a very specific timeframe that you'd appreciate more if you know at least a bit about Star Wars, but there are (almost) no characters that are part of the movies or stuff like that. The rest is classic science fantasy whose tropes everybody else stole from Star Wars anyway. So if you can stomach the occasional Glob Shitto you should be fine.
>>750199964That's practically what I was thinking every time when I was back in the hub.Nothing too fancy but its refreshingly solid writing.I often thought that the two main girls (green twilek and the baroness) would have been picture perfect romantic interests if this were an RPG and not a tactics game.>>750200232>i skipped it because it seemed like a shitty xcom knockoffI played it because I like XCom and play a lot of turn-based tactics games. It's buggy and annoying because sometimes enemies just ignore your overwatch when they shouldn't but otherwise it was nice to play. I thought that it was very decent. It's not a long game, which can be good or bad depending on what kind of XCom player you are.If you like the newer XCom games, you'll probably like it.
I finally got around to playing Failguard and it’s hilarious how bad it is. Trying to make sure you appeal to the lowest common denominator is a sure fire way to make the dumbest shit you possibly can.
BioWare Xisters! Lets raise money to fund the company!
