I mean.....maybe if the MP is making them enough money to offset the costs of paying for free single player improvements....we can dream, right?

I know you're just a huge fan, but ha.
This is too good.
Now if Andromeda was written like Red Dwarf I think the animations would work.
What? Easy? What world are you living in?
Please explain.

600 years of cyro sleep will do that.

Yeesh. So much for progress.
Is the big twist in Andromeda that the initiative didn't send any humans, only robots?
It's too much... I can't handle this...

I mean, they've based her on a really attractive model as it goes. They've just made her look like a doofus who cannot emote besides an awkward smile.
I assumed they meant it's better for the actress that she doesn't resemble the in-game model.

In what galaxy does default Sara look better than that?
I think the model is very pretty but of course she is a professional model.

Wait so they didn't 3D scan her face? Something didn't translate well at all, which is weird given how people get mocapped these days.

Teaser for the Live Action Mass Effect Andromeda trailer..
God fucking damn it, this made me lose it! I'm trying to put my daughter to bed while reading this topic while laughing silently!

Andromeda?

Man, I must have missed this, but this is a hilariously weak retort.
'But what about Horizon, guys?'
Horizon has some bad lip sync among its NPCs (especially those with lesser side quests), sure, but Mass Effect, which is arguably MORE focused on its characters and the storytelling therein, has demonstrably worse animations, including lip sync, dead eyes, awkward body/skeleton rigging, and more....in the main cast, including the protagonist.
Mass Effect NEEDED this stuff to be kick-ass to make sure they got away from the stigma of ME3 as well as DA:I
Instead, they've just re-opened themselves to more shoddy work accusations, no matter what the real reason might be for whatever happened.
Is that supposed to be a good thing?
I feel like they took this mentality to the absolute extreme in some high level design meetings, when considering her face model does in fact look like a top model.
Bioware was able to basically clone Shepard's face model back in 2007 so Sara's face isn't the result of a technical limitation.
I'm sorry...what?
How is it 'offensive' to point out that a new team/studio is an unknown quantity, and therefore it's more of a gamble to trust them with a valuable IP?
More importantly, they seem to have produced worse work, which completely validates the point, and means that it was a bad gamble to trust them with a valuable franchise.

I mean, I appreciate the fact the game character dosn't have a really attractive face like the model is based on. Is a bit of fresh air in gaming, just like Alloy.
Obviously is still animates like shit, with dead eyes, but the actual model looks fine to me.
does her left eyeball clip through her eyelid or am I just imagining it

No, Arrival and Omega both stand out as being by far the worst pieces of content for their respective games, and Mac Walters.. well we all know that story
Wouldn't be the first game in this decade to pull that twist
I have no idea what Andromeda's story is

My face is literally tired from this thread. I haven't laughed this hard in a while
Now the question is which of the two has the ugliest faces.Wouldn't be the first game in this decade to pull that twist

I'm legit shocked this much stuff is coming out. Like that's not normal.
Every game has some glitches, but there is tons already posted online of not just bizarre glitches but awful animation and weird things like characters just appearing and disappearing. Couple that with the awful frame rate on at least the Xbox One version and it's very clear something went really wrong with this games development. And it also really explains why the marketing cycle was so strange.
Who knows the game may end up ok at the end of the day but clearly there were some massive development problems

Another fine example where just darkening the irises makes a huge difference:
Like... does this even take more processing power? How do you fuck this up so bad?

Maybe they're all suffering from Boneitis.
Its not just this title, people use it as a way to mock studios or products they don't like and I personally find it disgusting.
We see this alot when it comes to Dark Souls 2 and its becoming more and more common where a team has a game come out if it doesn't reach the exact expectations that team just gets labeled as the B Team and they are somehow lesser.
Also just because there are mistakes here doesn't mean it was wrong to hand it off to them exactly or at least until we know the circumstances to lead to this. Let alone the entire studio being branded with "B Team"
Another fine example where just darkening the irises makes a huge difference:
Holy fuck.......
Seriously can we please make some examples like this and then mass tweet them to Bioware ?
They need to fix this shit. It's a one day fix...

Oh my god, the before and after. This game looks like Cocaine Simulator

Maybe she is supposed to have weird eyes. It happens.
Oh I agree with this completely, granted Im having a fun with all the .gifs but this game should never have been released in the state it's in.
So that kinda thing is cool, I just find the whole B Team nonsense to very ugly with the way it gets used.

I mean it sucks if you are the "B Team" but the fact is sometimes they are indeed lesser or a worse developer. Life isn't about making everyone feel good and ignoring truths.
If Andromeda comes out and is a step down from franchise norms, then this "B Team" is indeed a lesser developer.

Another fine example where just darkening the irises makes a huge difference:
Yep. Add maybe decreasing the pupil size just a little bit, and it makes a huge difference.
That looks so much better - it takes at least some of the 'dead eye stare' out of the picture.
I mean, if she does, so does the default Sara Ryder, and equally large problems are happening there as well, face-wise.
Another fine example where just darkening the irises makes a huge difference:
Can't have been just darkening them? There is also extra dimensionality and shininess that I can't quite make out in the original.
Makes her look SO much more alive, though.
