LOL! If this doesnt end any debate of a downgrade nothing will.

This is some some "Now you see me" downgrade here.

The whole entire skin textures the armors metallics.

They scrapped it.

Bioware lost there minds.

AuToFiRE2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

What a disappointing end to what was set to be great. There was no way they could have screwed this up, but they did somehow.

DiceAndRice2637d ago

It's sad how many times we hear that for games over the last few years.

@AuToFiRE

On purpose, By Design, they screwed up. The bidding of Political forces behind the scenes.

Goldby2637d ago

@Pantz
yes, non mettalic entities demanded that they take out the metallic armor....

GTFO

PS Poor and Xbox 720p is holding back development.

EA has a SOCIAL POLITICAL AGENDA. Its clear as glass.

They are a tool of Big Business and Politics.

Entertainment, making great games is not the Priority, its DOING THE BIDDING of Politics, and the $$$ men that own them.

AZRoboto2637d ago

OMG! *GASP*

That's totally why the animations got downgraded. Gay gluten-free momdads.

I bet that this is where they made their sacrifice, to get a decent frame rate. After seeing Horizon I think everyone should just pay to use the Decima engine.

I will say though. I've only played for like 2 hrs but Andromeda isn't near as bad as everyone made it out to be. As a matter of fact it is damn gorgeous and runs smoothly on Pro in 4k.
Yes, every character is a direct descendant of the Gerber baby, but dialogue has been fine and other than the weird eyes, my character came out fine. Combat is a hell of a lot better than the last 3 games, and the environment is on a much grander scale.

yomfweeee2637d ago

Haven't played the game, but to me it seems to me that everyone is judging the game based solely on the animations. There is no denying that stuff is laughable, but what about the rest of the game? I haven't really seen any complaints about it.

kreate2636d ago

looking at the animations, I can't take the game seriously.

Talk about beating a dead hourse but they deserve it
yes bioware did f*** up.
the game could easily run on ps3
it's no where near pushing even xboxone let alone ps4 and it's a bad port on pc
the game got downgraded real bad to hell..it's like ubisoft "in your face"downgrade.

What the hell happened,Bioware??
BTW the one who hired Halo 4 writer to write Mass effect should be fired on the spot.

dadavis19922637d ago

What? Andromeda looks nothing like a PS3 era game.

Yes, some of the animations are bad. Yes, some of the textures are bad. But these screenshots are not representative of what the game looks like on average. For the most part, the game looks stunning. Graphics are not the problem with Andromeda.

Why do people resort to such hyperbole?

Jon_Targaryen2637d ago

You are aware that MGS V ran on PS3 and 360 too, right?!?! And that game looks much better than this crap!

meka26112637d ago

He's right it's not hyperbole, the game could definitely run on last gen consoles. The only thing that might need a little downgraded is the environments, cuz those are the only thing that look good.

TheKingKratos2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

How am i wrong ??...have you seen uncharted/god of war/killzone/the last of us/gtav/mgsv etc on ps3..imo all of them look better than this "next gen" mass effect.

If this game is stunning for you then it's your opinion and not something i will ever agree with after playing games like uncharted 4 and Horizon etc on ps4.

game4funz2636d ago

Halo 4 had good story. And awesome dialogu between cheif and cortana. Not sure what you mean

rpvenom2637d ago

wow man.. i wanted to believe so much in this game.. but to see this level of downgrade.. that's so unfortunate. downgrades, microtransactions, paid dlcs.. what has the gaming world come to.. thank god for people who still produce quality games like rockstar and cd projekt red and still provide free content..

Kokyu2637d ago (Edited 2637d ago )

Rockstar has micros and all but abandoned single player dlc for GTAV in favor of more useless microtransaction driven online stuff.

bluefox7552637d ago

It didn't look all that great to begin with, so this is pretty sad.

Sega Saturn made it but not the 360. Don't remember Saturn having a horrid rrod rate. Absolutely horrid

The launch games were all right, but look at how Virtua Fighter and Daytona USA compared to their re-releases.

Mass Effect Companions, Ranked from Worst to Best

From Xfire: "BioWare's Mass Effect franchise took gamers on a fascinating universal sci-fi journey that will never be forgotten. While fighting against the ever-looming threat of the Reapers was central to Mass Effect's storyline, what made the series so iconic was its vast and diverse cast of characters.

Not only do these companions accompany Commander Shepard as you make your way through hell and back, but, throughout your journey, you also get to learn who these characters were and are and what they think about what it is that you are doing. Some will even fall in love with you, and others will even become your enemy based on your decision."

sourOG1122d ago

When I looked at the list I thought they were saying Garrus was the worst lol. And tali being so far down the list was fighting words for me. But the numbered list is just the order they are shown so you are forgiven.

CYALTR1122d ago

I think they listed them from worst to best. Also keep in mind that this includes Andromeda characters that aren't part of the remastered trilogy. Interesting refresh on the characters though.

sourOG1122d ago

They did but I didn’t realize it until I started reading. That’s just the order they are shown.

Knightofelemia1122d ago (Edited 1122d ago )

I couldn't stand Miranda I could never like her as a character and I always skipped Jacob and James. I always liked Grunt, Jack, Legion, Tali, Garrus, Samara, Liara, Wrex, Edi, Zaeed, Kasumi I always use these characters. Using Martin Sheen as the Illusive Man just fits the character like using Keith David as Admiral Anderson was another good choice always feels like Goliath from Gargoyles is yelling at you which I like.

Rebel_Scum1121d ago

Kinda weird having a question mark at the end of that sentence?

Soy1121d ago

Garrus is best space bro.

Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021

Zahi AR. from Link Cable Gaming writes “Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, with me in andromeda. Specifically, Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021. With the recent announcement of Anthem shutting down its future plans, I wanted to look at another recent BioWare game. My switch to a PlayStation 5 destroyed my save file right while I was at the end. So, I decided to do a fresh start on the new console to see just how well (or not) it’s been since launch. How has the new generation of hardware treated the game that fell from grace? Should you play Mass Effect: Andromeda in 2021? Let’s find out.”

Such a good game! It got a 4K X1X upgrade and it looks fantastic! Also like the story! Was playing it again before Series X dropped. Going to download it for the Series X, as soon as I have more room on my HD. Playing too many other games right now.

Instant resume is AMAZING! I can Switch between 5 games in seconds. Like 10 to 15 at the most! No closing a game and opening another one! Thank you Microsoft!

giovonni1187d ago

It’s was decent to me. I didn’t feel the magic I felt when I played two or even three. I don’t know. It was repetitive, and the worlds felt bland.

jeromeface1187d ago

There's a reason it reviewed so poorly in the first place... these reasons among others.

anast1187d ago

I had a lot of fun with this game, but I haven't played 2 or 3 yet.

giovonni1187d ago

2 was wonderful, three was just as good as two the ending though 🤦🏾‍♂️

Wintersun6161186d ago

I finally gave it a go last autumn and was amazed by how bad a game can be. And believe me my expectations were low. After 10ish hours I just had to give up.

giovonni1186d ago

I powered through it, myself. It was just repetitive, and the Land Rover Exploration wasn’t interesting at all. The story also we mahhhhhhh.
