Three years, three huge disappointments from BioWare and EA. Once again, the Canadian studio brought virtually nothing of Mass Effect: Andromeda to EA's press conference, turning up to the show with a new behind-the-scenes trailer. Unheard of!
To be fair, the video does feature little bits and pieces of gameplay, but there's nothing here that demands excitement. We've expected much better from the sci-fi sequel for three years now, and we've been bitterly disappointed every time.
Apparently, we'll hear more about Andromeda over the coming days, but why not seize the opportunity and have it present on the big stage? We're almost lost for words. You can check out the trailer below before giving up hope in the comments section below.

They confirmed gameplay footage this fall.
They need to fire whoever is in charge of their press conferences. Just absolutely miserable experiences.
I cannot wait for this game!
Based on how little we've seen, I seriously doubt this game comes out in early 2017. I expect further delays.
@Jake3103 Exactly! if the was coming out by March 2017, they'd have some more...
No trilogy remaster either which you think would kept people sweet for awhile.
No joke. I watched the first 20 seconds of this trailer......my mind shifted to other thoughts, and before I knew it, the trailer was over and I hadn't even paid attention.
Feel the hype! lol.
Disappointed. Well I think more will be revealed on N7 Day. And I got my Question 9 answer right on gameplay duration.
wowwww.that was horrible.
Major disappointment. Also no Mass Effect Trilogy for PS4.
I've never really been interested in ME (Kind of missed the boat with the first being XB exclusive and never caught up) - but this looks really good. Appreciate fans would want to see more at this point though. But I'm impressed!
I was disappointed with the lack of any real information - especially for a game expected before E3 2017.... Loved the original trilogy so really looking forward to this...
I'm still crushed by the complete lack of info we got. It's one thing for a game that's more than a year our or so, it's a complete other story for a game that was due to launch a mere few months from now until a few weeks back. There's still so incredibly little we know other than its set in the mass effect universe with species we are already familiar with and the mako is making a return. I just really thought that the 20 minutes they spent on Fifa was going to be occupied by mass effect and Fifa would get the amount of time madden or mass effect got. At least titanfall 2 and battlefield 1 showed up in strength to cover EA's behind on what was otherwise a very lackluster showing with no skate 4, fight night, or really anything of major news outside of the usual staples. Sure Star Wars made an appearance, and I'm really excited to see what visceral does with the franchise but the major selling point of their e3 conference was a potentially earth shattering mass effect andromeda reveal worthy of winning e3 and the rest of the summer along with a lost opportunity to announce the winter release day/special and collectors editions. If they had done all this today I would bet those collectors editions would already be sold out and the web would be talking about an e3 presser for the ages.
The mako is back!
I thought the bits shown were brilliant, but I suppose considering me3 was released moons ago, we should have more info by now.
@Jake3103 thinking the same myself, like why aren't they showing any solid gameplay yet? Theres definitely a smell of another delay around.
I don't see Andromeda releasing in 2017, more like Q1 2018, and even THAT feels like a pipe dream.
What I got from dev trailer: Andromeda wants to be a prettier No Man's Sky with a good storyline.
I think there is an issue with this game somewhere - I hope it is rectifiable but to not do more when it could have headlined the EA event suggests that they are either behind or there is a reconfiguring going on in the background.
Well I really really enjoyed it....
I liked everything I saw but it was still a poor reveal. Not good enough and don't see how this can possibly be releasing in early 2017.
another dev dairy no show... This game will only come out on late 2018 base on their progression...
Maybe more transparency of what's going on would be more professional. Granted, most of the gaming community is pretty harsh and judgemental, but I'd rather know, than not know. Just like when a game is delayed: delay it if it makes it better.
