Looks like it is still in prototype/placeholder mode.

Weird bug to be honest, it really doesn't look like one.
And hopefully, there is a way to deactivate the menu bouncing like that when you move the cursor, it looks more annoying than anything.

The whole menu UI looks like a placeholder. Icons are folders. Text wraps on option buttons.
Huh, you're right.
I can't believe they would have an unfinished menu with only 2 months left of polishing. That video must be a few months old at best...
Ah K. Thanks.
Yep. Doesn't feel like Mass Effect to me (I know there are a couple other games that have bouncy UI, but I can't remember off the top of my head). erk.

a) We don't know how old the build is (it may already be fixed)
b) UI tweeking would be close to the last thing to fix. No sense spending a bunch of time farting around with UI placement until all UI elements are nailed down.

I like what I'm seeing for armour so far. A lot of heavy, bulky cool looking chest pieces that remind me of the sweet soldier outfits of Mass Effect 1. I love feeling like a space tank.
I checked Origin page on PC. Supported languages for US are Deutsch (DE), English (US), Español (ES), Français (FR), Italiano. Didn't say if it's a dub or just subtitles unfortunately.
If you look at the Squad section of the UI, you get a hint of what Cora will look like
I saw that, and I immediately thought of Miranda's early concept art.
There's also one of the Andromeda race I think, although I bet this is going to be the last one we recruit.

Probably the new footage, since the human faces are now filled in like their alien counterparts instead of just the outlines.

FemRyder confirmed as best Ryder.
I love them already.
On a related note, ME2 is free on Origin right now.
Can't argue with free.

I always like the voice actor videos that Bioware puts out.
Yeah thats what I immediately thought of as well. I'd be delighted if they went this route with Cora, she's the only squadmate I'm interested in finding out more about tbh, though Liam seems cool.

What parts ? It a bit on the busy side but usability wise it seems alright.

Pretty close actually
She's a cutie.
You're the only saving grace about this squadmate information dryspell Shinobi. The next 2 months are going to be grueling.
Don't know why I didn't learn of this sooner when it was plasted all over social media back in November, but the guy Bioware got to be the face model of Scott Ryder is also a model like Vanderloo.
Damn Bioware know how to pick em.
I went default John Shepard in ME1-3 and it looks like I'm going default Scott Ryder in Andromeda. Don't wanna make Biowares efforts go to waste.
Shinobi don't play with my heart like this man, it can only take so much hype.

Mhm, I hope she is romanceable.
I'm also curious as to how many romance options there will be in Andromeda. Inquisition had 8, but those were all pure romances, and no flings or hook-ups. If Andromeda went with 2/2/2 (2 exclusive for males, 2 exclusive for females and 2 bisexual), that's something I'd be fine with.
Inquisition had 9 companions, plus 3 well fleshed out advisors. It could be we're not gonna get as many options as before. ME1 had, what, three?
I finally have a chance to continue my Mass Effect trilogy playthrough in preparation for Andromeda, after having stalled for 3 months to finish my dissertation.
I'm importing my ME1 save into ME2 and I'm trying to decide whether to stay as a Soldier or change to Vanguard. Since this is my last trilogy playthrough it would make sense for me to stay as a Soldier since it's my canon class, but Vangaurd was the class I first played as all those years ago in 2007, so I should probably finish off the series with that.
I'll just flip a coin. Heads for Solider. Tails for Vanguard.
EDIT:Tails. Vanguard it is.
EDIT 2: Only a couple of minutes into ME2 and I've already had something annoy me, though it's annoyed me for years tbh.
Why, when you choose the neutral choice at the end of ME1 to focus on Sovereign, does the game in ME2 give you the renegade opening crawl of humans seizing political control of the galaxy instead of the neutral opening crawl?
The neutral opening crawl only seems to show up on non-import runs for some reason, fucks knows why. It's a bug that seems to have never been fixed.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
BioWare hire me to do the marketing for this series.
Well one Aussie already left a producer position so...

A bit closer to launch.shinobi, do you have any idea what the timetable for the MP test is? Much thanks in advance.
Sounds about right. I can't remember exactly how early the ME3 MP Demo was before ME3's launch but I feel like it was only a few weeks or so, or maybe a month.
All this Mass Effect talk got me rewatching some of the making of features and documentaries.
I forgot how good this stuff was.

If I look anything like that, my dating problems will be totally over.
Edit: The Super Deluxe edition is BS. At least package one future story DLC in there FFS.

Thank you for posting this. You've made the wait a whole lot more palpable. ^_^
I saw that post Aaryn posted here that Andromeda will run 1080p/30fps on PS4 and 900p on X1, and apparently 1800p/30fps on the Pro.
http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=227589323&postcount=198
As a Pro owner that sounds good to me although obviously I would have liked 1800p and 60 fps but I'd love the option to use 1080p/60fps with improved textures if that is possible so I can see which I would prefer. I don't own a 4K TV.

Mate, as far as I'm concerned, you, shinobi602 and a few YouTubers have been the whole marketing department for this title.
I hope EA/BioWare catches up at some point.

Thats what I thought it would be
I am ok with the 900P for my XBox. I survived DA:I (But it would be very cool if it has a scorpio update)
Deluxe version pre-ordered. I need my Pyjak

Ooof.
I'm getting that feeling like I did pre-Mass Effect 2/3 and Inquisition where the wait for the game begins to consume the mind, distracting me from anything else in real life, and days slow to a crawl. No other game dev gets this level of hype from me.
