‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ Gameplay Trailer: 5 Minutes In A New Galaxy

Holy fucking shit. Holy fucking shit! Actual, real, actually real Mass Effect: Andromeda gameplay footage. I need, need, need, need this game.

Kotaku:

We got to see a little bit more of the upcoming Mass Effect game tonight at The Game Awards, and man, the Andromeda galaxy looks great.

As you might already know, Andromeda takes place hundreds of years after the events of the original Mass Effect games. You play as a “Pathfinder,” that is, someone who is looks for habitable planets for humans. Where the original Mass Effects were more about introducing aliens to us, Andromeda flips it around a little bit—you are the alien in this case, going through unknown lands.

During this trailer, we got our first look at an actual city, some dialogue, driving, and in-game combat. Mass Effect even has a crafting system now, which is new.
