there could be a day one patch

 

[rdytoroll]

If I wanted to play Eurojank, I'd play a Eurojank game. God damnit Bioware...

I don't remember DA:I having nearly as much jank and bad animations as ME:A.

there could be a day one patch

Shinobi said there will be a 5GB one, iirc. But somehow I doubt that it will fix any of these animations. lol

I know, I was teasing

 

[Vanpastel]

Is this easily fixable? Or are we more or less stuck with this terrible animations? Man I wanted to like this game.

There seems to be a fundamental problem with the way they did faces and facial animation rigs in the videos I've watched, but the quality varies. They'd have to go through every single frame. You might be better off asking for a new game, unless Bioware Montreal has some easily implementable secret magic animation technology that I've never heard about. It would probably be a band-aid to the animations if they made better eyes at the very least.

Seems like my teasing detecting device is broken then.

 

[Parahan]

That "my face is tired" clip is actually unbelievable. I cannot believe it's in the game.

It looks like the line was added after they realized how bizzarely expressionless the facial animation was, despite her being annoyed with Ryder's grammar and indifference to

Spoiler

her father's death

.

" I am sorry I can't emote properly, my face is tired ".

 

[E92 M3]

For a triple A title this looks so mediocre, but it's quite funny.

 

[FataIChoice]

I thought the mouth movement was sub-par in Horizon, but this is like watching Muppets talk.

 

[Zia]

What is wrong with the female character model in this game? It's like a bunch of straight dudes were like, "We don't want to make her too attractive," and instead turned her into a beautiful cartoon dinosaur.

I would like to think that these are small parts of the game, taken in isolation, but in the grand scheme of the game as a whole, they are probably less noticeable.

Still funny though.

 

[ced]

Oh man lol

 

[derFeef]

What? Muppets have superiour sync and more expression compared to this. It seems broken... I have no idea how and why they think this would be okay.

 

[Inviusx]

I think what makes it worse is that the environments in this game look absolutely stellar. So its hard to contrast that with these barbie/ken doll models.

 

[Secret Fawful]

This is....embarrassing for everyone who worked on this.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I can't wait for crowbcat's video of this game.

 

[barybll]

God Bless bioware's lack of expertise

 

[soundscream]

This game is bringing up bad memories.

 

[Baleoce]

Kind of reminds me of how NRS did faces.

i still actually don't think this is that bad

[derFeef]

Mass Effect Andromeda |OT| Galaxy of the silly walks

Galaxy of tired (baked) faces, really.

 

[Zemm]

oh God haha

 

[iFirez]

This game is bringing up bad memories.

The hair moves as if its under water... what is happening here!

 

[Yarbskoo]

Jesus.

I was expecting stiff movements, but I wasn't expecting that.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

mass effect 1 facial animation leagues better than ME: A. lol what the fuudge

 

[kromeo]

there could be a day one patch

 

[Ethranes]

Is the PC version of Mass Effect moddable?

dragon age inquisition was but it was in very limited capacity

model and texture replacement was possible but difficult

 

[Švejk]

HO LEE SHIT! Just stop!!!!!!! LMFAO

 

[IISANDERII]

I hope the dialogue is as unintentionally hilarious as these animations.

Instead of just bad, I mean.

Well Mass Effect 2 had some really awful dialogue so hopefully they made a lateral move from cringeworthy to hilarious 😁

 

[aussiedude08]

EA will sell that as DLC for $29.99

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.

Not quite Dostoevsky, is it.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

maybe there was a time where i thought this looked bad but after scrolling through this entire thread this looks pretty good.

this looks phenomenal compared to ME Andromeda.

Not so much bad but creepy, in a uncanny valley way.

Posting this for the new page because everyone needs to see this

Hahahaaha

Her face is tired, so I guess this is the reason why she's using only lower half of it.

 

[erotic grandpa]

This might be my favorite.

 

[MisterR]

Ryder is growing on me. She's cute in a homely girl-next-door you've known for years kinda way.

She looks like Princess Fiona.

 

[Hexa]

Not disagreeing with your point in general, but I think that line was supposed to be cheesy on purpose.

Mission accomplished!

A Youtuber named xletalis did a comparison of dialogue animations yesterday contrasting ME1 to Andromeda.

When I keep saying that I think the Trilogy looked better in this regard, so many fans keep telling me it was just nostalgia and to replay the games.

I point out that I AM replaying ME1 right now and my wife just wrapped up ME3 last month, so it's fresh in our minds, and so many keep telling me that I'm just having selection bias.

... No, no, I think the game from 10 years ago looks better with dialogue animation, by far.
Even the actual aliens and androids acted more human.

No, this shit also has denuvo.

What a great package..

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I remember in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy novels that there was a civilization that convinced all the stupid, ugly, and defected people that the planet was going to explode, loaded them up into a colony ship and sent them away. This must be that ship.

 

[Peroroncino]

SERIOUSLY, what is she looking at!?

 

[Interfectum]

 

[tuxfool]

Maybe she has some kind of neck injury.
