Well like I wrote above..apparently the story is well done...which is always important in a rpg...and the combat is fun.
However those fa… moreces.
Sara Ryder
FemShepard
They have way better tools now to make character models...but what happened? The Femshep default from ME:3 which I never used uses way fewer polys and meshes than Sara...but I know which one does not give me the creeps.
Luckily there will be modders who will work hard to make us forget this...and maybe EA will do something lol.
Except mods don't mean anything if you're playing on PS4. I think I'll be able to deal with the shitty CC, some people have made really attr… moreactive Ryders. What sucks the most (IMO) aside from just being able to tweak the presets is that there's no way to make your character pale, the lightest you can go is an olive shade. We can only hope there will be several patches later on.
Also I wish people would stop bringing up that shot of Sara as a criticism; it's old, and she looks much better in the recent footage. I'm not denying she looks nothing like her model though, and still has a bit of a derpy face.
More natural and less "greasy", if that makes sense. But like I said, there are a few scenes circling around in which she doesn't emote very well and comes off like a robot.

I've been watching a few clips of Andromeda, and I have to agree that the 3D Animators could have stepped up more in terms of facial expressions and character's postures and movements.
Subtle movements from the eyes, cheeks, mouths, eyebrows, and so on, are all essential in making your character more lifelike and likable. So far the characters in Andromeda weird me out due to their vacant stares, stiff or robotic movements, inappropriate facial expressions such as smiling when not staring vacantly, puckering lips, and lack of eye and eyelid movements and coordination when they speak to people.
The aliens ironically seem more human than the humans themselves, because they isn't much to work on in terms of facial expressions compared to the human characters, and yet they seem a little more lifelike in turn.
...Oh, and they really need to check that the weapons aren't being held the wrong way around either. The idea of PeeBee shooting herself in the face by accident makes me laugh.
The difference is that what you've posted are unintentional glitches but the animations in Andromeda are fucking intentional. Horrid animations at that.

As much fun as it is to pull the console gang's tales...lets look at it like this. EA has spent many millions on the franchise...I think they might in fact redo the character models because no one likes having their AAA game being a laughing stock just because some of the team forgot how humans actually look.

I hope they do fix up the character models. At this point I wouldn't mind a delay for another month or two if it meant they could fix up the models. I just want the game to be out already so I can create an informed opinion.

Well they won't delay launch...because other than goofy facial animations and backwards weapons...they actual game is pretty friggen sweet from the streams.

Never had it that bad...the worst I ever ran into was when I was riding him down a steep hill and we continued on a road and his ass was hanging in the air. But for the most part...they fixed most of the glitches.
I don't know what's more surprising...the fact that people expected a Bioware game with good facial animations, or that after being in the spotlight for so long, Bioware still hasn't figured out how to make good facial animations.
Its something that I've come to expect from their games, so it doesnt bother me as much as it does for other people. The dialogue, though? Cringe.
I'm seeing a lot of news articles and videos being very critical of the game, Pewdiepies video has gained views faster than the trailers did.
I'm not sure how the game is going to turn out sales wise, I'm going to be super depressed if lots of people preordered it... like... I can't wrap my head around why you would preorder it when you get game the exact same game later on, with no negative affect, and being able to avoid it if it's a poor product...
I pre-ordered. I have two good reasons for doing so.
1: So I can pre-load it and then just play it when it's unlocked.
2: I'm going to buy it anyway. No matter what anyone says. I've enjoyed every Bioware major release since Baldur's Gate.
Could it be crap at launch? Maybe. Probably not though. Are facial animations terrible? No, not really. Are they on par with the current generation of games? No. Should people accept that? No. Hold them to a higher standard. If that is ruining the game for you, then those are the people I feel sorry for though. It should be pointed out. It should be made clear that Bioware has to get better, but the people going on and on and on about it are pretty sad. I couldn't even imagine animations completely killing a game for me. That's depressing.
I havent preordered the game, I dont preorder, simply because there is no reason to, but having played the trial, I can safely say I am gonna buy the game, I found the game to be super enjoyable, sure it has some issues, but it just felt so Mass Effect, and the characters and story was interesting

I can honestly live with the facial animations, its not like its every character, its mostly just the humans that look bad, besides, I played the trial, and had a fucking blast, this game is so Mass Effect, the characters are interesting, the story is interesting (no "saving the galaxy", but I kinda like that)

Well aparently EA got rid of really talented people and replaced them with tumblr drones. When I see someone like her on the writing/story department I start to see why the game is like it is now. You know "My face is too tired" for example. Or the tumblr hairstlyes for women. No real character customisation as you can only have some really ugly presets. This is not Mass Effect anymore. https://twitter.com/sammaggs
I am not hyped. I do have a theory though. This game is EA giving it one last hurrah, one final suckling at their cash cow's teats before th… moreey take it out back and put it down.
Not caring: releasing 17 minutes of a squadmate's loyalty mission on IGN, who is kinda their only friend right now outside their echo chamber.
Warning: contains spoilers. Not that someone up there, Bioware or EA, give a dang.
This right here. They're uploading this because they don't care anymore, so why should we?
Here's said squadmate firing a carnifex backwards...
And pooping on lore...
And I'm not seeing any improvement on the facial animations. We go from Inquisition (a game with its own strengths and flaws I find satisfying overall), which had some quality scenes and animations (particularly of the face for the sake of the comparison), to this that you see not more than 5 minutes into the video of the Twitch stream posted above me.

Im Thinking maybe they left on the time period where Krogan had a mutation and Mordin designed a stronger Version of the Genophage which is why this one s immune. ((Actually i have no idea when the Andromeda initiative left Some ppl said it was a little bit after ME1 Some say it was a couple of Months before ME3.

What does she look like now? I haven't seen any recent game play cause I'm trying to go into the game as blind as I can.
More natural and less "greasy", if that makes sense. But like I said, there are a few scenes circling around in which she doesn't emote very well and comes off like a robot.
Thanks for the clarification.
I wonder why Scott Ryder is having less trouble with his animations? and why he looks more like his model than Sara?
It makes me wonder why they didn't just model Sara off her voice actor b/c of how different Sara looks from her face model.

Having played the trial, I am excited, sure the game has problems, but its hecka fun, and I enjoyed the story and characters so far
The gun facing backwards is intentional? Oh that makes sense. Thank you for your insightful clarification.
True....luckily the PC master race gets great modding support.
Good for you?
It is!

I haven't seen them, want to go in blind.
LoL...to be fair Ciri does not do that any more...though Roach is still a crazy damn fool horse.
Roach may be a crazy damn fool horse but he's Geralt's crazy damn fool horse.

Omg. Lmao
For the first time one of the Gifs that mock Andromeda actually got a laugh out of me. I like the Donkey Kong one.
How about the horrible facial animations then?

How are the animations not terrible? Mass Effect 1 did them better.
If you enjoy it, feel free. I hope you have a good experience with it.
I don't think Bioware intentionally made them horrible. Like the glitches and bad animations I posted.
I just thought it was ridiculous to say that no one at Bioware gave a single fuck b/c some animations were glitching.
Well aparently EA got rid of really talented people and replaced them with tumblr drones. When I see someone like her on the writing/story department I start to see why the game is like it is now.

"Mass Effect 1 did them better."
Apparently the lead facial animator is a cosplayer who has had no previous experience in video games. Yikes, that certainly explains some things.
Best Mass Effect: Andromeda vid out there.
