MULTI Mass Effect: Andromeda lands this March

[CerebralTiger]

The jamaican guy, in the prologue mission .. "I think that guy is pissed off at me *long pause* ... because i shot his face full of bullets"

JEESE.

lol I recall lines of this nature in the Xenosaga series.

 

[MrGutsy]

Already playing lots of multiplayer, if anyone wants to play with me then add me on origin: Crockets

Would be fine playing with someone local so he or I don't get absurd lag.

 

[CerebralTiger]

How did this made past QA ? This is absolutely horrible.

If you thought that was horrible....

Played couple of multiplayer matches with @DarkLordMalik, and is it bad or what! Netcode issues aside, enemies are complete bullet sponges with no hit reactions whatsoever. Moreover, the AI goes braindead when it has to deal with more than one opponent.

mythic bosses in firefight are bullet sponges but they are anything but dumb/ unresponsive. even CT knows that!

OK, so a couple of nitpicks, things that *SHOULD* be easily patchable (I hope).

- The controls, especially when stopping and turning are very similar to The Witcher 3's original controls, too much 'lead' before anything happens, they patched it, hoping Bioware does too.
- Human animations, especially on Ryder, should have been better. Horizon's latest patch notes indicate they fixed facial animations, if they can do it, Bioware should too .. hopefully.
- The slow motion pans and zooms towards planets in the galaxy map. Who thought it was a good idea to not at least let you skip them ? Galaxy and planet hopping is a needlessly long process because of this now.

And a fresh batch of Pro shots.





Another PC vs Pro shot, again, only difference I see is a lower quality depth of field, otherwise they're about the same.

These are the only similar shots I have, and practically every detail setting is dialed back on the Pro. From textures, shadows, AO, lighting, to terrain quality. Looks like a mix of Medium/High at best.

Textures in this particular scene are Low, or probably a streaming issue so the scene doesn't last long before better texture is loaded in

PC

Pro

Another significant difference in texture quality up close...and look at PeeBees left shoulder, even the shoulder pad is low poly compared to the Pc version

PC

Pro

Draw distance differences; missing shadows, objects, and shadow quality of the airship is quite poor.

HBAO Full shouldnt have a big impact on performance and does look better. What i did was lower Mesh to medium and maxed everything else out. Easy 60 on 1440p

I'll try doing that. Also, I would advise against using Ansel to take screenshots as it breaks some settings in the game (shadows, AO).

Itna bareeki se to Digital foundry bhi nahi dehkta

Looks great for a $399 machine matching the maxed out ultra presets on a PC version dawg (sm1)

Also, NXgamer quoted my screenshots on GAF and implied that the cut-scenes might be running at 1080p on the Pro while the game play is higher. Both PS4 and XB1 versions also drop resolutions during cut-scenes so wouldn't be surprised if cut-scenes on Pro are 1080p with game play at 1800p or dynamic.

i don't usually defend halos anymore but the last part of your statement is totally wrong. although it takes shit tons of fire power to kill the match ending BOSSES but the way they react to constant weapon fire and how they systematically break down is very satisfying. the video CT shared has zero bullet effects for run of the mill enemies hence comparing this turd of a MP to highly polished one in halo5 is just wrong, even if it was done on a lighter note

as serious ?? I was trying to mess with usuf man...relax

necro DF ki bhi DF hai when it comes to underperforming multiplats

 

[Chandoo]

Also, don't let PeeBee's initial Shrek like face fool you, she's easily the best character in the game so far. All the human crew are dull as rocks. PeeBee is like a combination of Tali and Kasumi from the OG trilogy.

I miss the ME crew Mordin alone had more personality in his first few scenes than everyone in Andromeda combined so far

OG vs PS4 Pro shots hoti to sab nazar aajana tha araam se

 

[Chandoo]

Because 900p/1080p to 1800p is a bigger jump than slightly peered back effects and shadows

no ?

 

[Necrokiller]

Theyr not "slightly" paired back tho.

But then the jump from 30fps to 60fps is far more dramatic for the gameplay than the resolution bump even, something all Pro titles compromise on. In that regard, the OG PS4 owners aren't missing out on much.

 

[Chandoo]

Yes, well, shouldn't have unrealistic expectations from hardware Will be good to see frame rate comparisons whenever DF etc come out. I finished all the story content for Eos last night, will probably spend today exploring the map and finishing up all the quest markers I see.

I hope the game lets me get back to the planet, I went back to the Tempest because fast travel was disabled after the colony gets established for some reason. Also, I had them make it a science colony, made more sense.

 

[Fir3d3mon]

I like Peebee and Vetra..nice gals..would bang ok?

yeah you can travel between planets whenever you want, more quests pop up later so make sure you dont miss them

nah man its cool. i know u were messing around...if i was even a little bit serious then u would be reading paragraphs with screenshots, videos and shit deep analysis to bore the hell out of u

I like Peebee and Vetra..nice gals..would bang ok?

don't know abt u but i don't find any female character bang-able in this game. maybe its the lifeless facial animation or the fact that original trilogy had many attractive female squadmates (maranda, liara heck even ashley) worth the effort. lets hope that bioware introduces some worth while squadmates through DLCs
