‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ 4K Tech Demo Footage: Foraging A Galaxy Never Looked So Good

Thoughts. 1) Fuck this looks so good. 2) Does BioWare even have any fucking gameplay for this game? A goddamn glorified tech demo? Hasn’t this shit been in development for five years? 3) Oh Jesus Christ, BioWare doesn’t have any gameplay for this game. 4) Fuck this looks so good. 5) Fuck I need this game. 6) I need a fucking PS4 Pro, now! 7) Wait, what if it looks even better on an XB1 Scorpio?

The Verge:

Earlier today at Sony’s Playstation event, BioWare showed off its upcoming installment in its Mass Effect franchise: Mass Effect: Andromeda. The demo ran on the newly revealed Playstation Pro, and it looks very, very good.

We’ve already seen a trailer for the game earlier this year, which takes humanity into a brand-new galaxy. The new footage gives us a new look at the game, which was captured directly from a Playstation Pro. BioWare’s Aaryn Flynn noted that the Pre-Alpha gameplay segment was selected to highlight the way the game will look on certain Playstation models, such as enhanced resolution and high-dynamic lighting.

The new footage follows an armored character as the player explores a dimly lit vault, running and jumping over objects. It then shows off a cut scene in which the characters discover a terminal that reveals similar vaults on other planets. The characters then flee when they activate a security system. The overview also promised a new trailer for the game on November 7th.

Mass Effect: Andromeda will be released in early 2017.
