I was like 'uh-uh, the character seems decent, so what's wron... oh'

Much appreciated, sad to see there's nothing fundamentally better in the non-glitched version expect better textures and poly count. I now remember seeing that alpha footage at the time but had completely forgotten about it until today, and it's a shame at how much fidelity and detail is lost in the final version. You can even see them deliberately cut the camera when the coughing starts so you can't even see the character's face properly until he falls down since they've obviously cut/changed the animations drastically in the final product.

It's a shame to see a troubled project like this, especially one that potentially showed some promise, as a new and bright future for the Mass Effect franchise. I've had my beef with the original trilogy, but there was a lot of good stuff in there, so I'm kinda bummed when a big and interesting sci-fi series gets borked like this.

Yeah that went about exactly as I expected.

That looks awful! Had to take a still image to post. May be a bit blurry from being a still, but the lighting, the colors, what happened?!

This genuinely looks like Second Life

I watched about 5 minutes of the Quick Look and happened to randomly skip to this point. Even knowing this game was kinda broken, I couldn't believe it looks this awful.

 

[hitgirl]

Has bioware said a peep about how much of a visual shit show this game is?

 

[Officer.Sanchez]

Yeah. I never expected the video would be used as a comparison, especially considering I hadn't seen the other alpha footage prior to today. But, here's a non-glitched version:

I re-edited the comparison with the non glitched version and added it to my original post.

Thank you, but yeah, there's basically no difference.

They very clearly had to ditch all the mocap and good faces at last minute and came up with this very cringey solution.

Watched Vetra's romance scene. My wife couldn't stop laughing at Scott's blank expressions.

this is so disjointed and weird. The game's dialogue needed at least one or two more passes

I didn't know this was available on PS2.

I want to believe the nose is fake and the face is a lod bug. If not BW is trolling us.

Switch version confirmed after all?

[Keasar]

I just finished a comparison between the (alpha?) footage from april 2016 and this one. I couldn't find a good video so I used the glitched footage.

https://my.mixtape.moe/lygacu.mp4

What in the flying...

So, they had a version where the characters actually had animated faces that looked natural. Where the Krogan squeezes on the fruit-pollen-thingy. Where it actually spews some neat looking fumes. And where the guy doesn't look like he went into immediate paralysis on the face.

What platform is this recorded on? Surely they can't have wrecked the fuck out of textures and lightning like that, it has to be ultra-low settings on PC or something.
