I'm guessing since the ME series are my favorite Bioware games I'll be getting it.
Looked sick as shit really.
I'm more than willing to go back to the series.

I'm more than willing to go back to the series.
So still no gameplay and people are calling it "GOTY 2017" and preordering this ?
Business as usual.
We're gonna hype the shit outta it and you ...:
:P
The Andromeda Initiative video is actually WAY better than the reveal trailer. You can check it out here.
Thanks.
New information from Eurogamer :
Yesterday, Mass Effect's annual N7 Day brought us several dollops of new information on Mass Effect Andromeda.
Overnight, much more has been revealed of the game's individual systems, courtesy of Game Informer (and summarised via NeoGAF).
There are several big changes to Andromeda from previous Mass Effect games. Firstly, the series' class system has been removed, and replaced with a wider skill tree that Ryder can pick and choose from in order to specialise.
Specialising in a particular field unlocks bonuses for a particular play style, which is where you'll gain titles similar to the old classes of Adept and Vanguard. You'll also be able to reconfigure your setup at certain points in the game due to a "narrative reason" to allow you to test multiple play styles.
It'll be interesting to hear how this is explained away in the game's fiction - previously only certain characters were able to use biotic (space magic) attacks.
One other new feature is the ability to now wield melee items such as swords and hammers. Will these be physical items or new uses of your omni-tool?
Andromeda will use a dynamic cover system similar to The Last of Us, although you'll now be able to use the game's new jetpack ability to quick dash and hover above ground to target enemies behind cover.
Outside of battle, Mass Effect's trademark paragon/renegade dialogue system has been ditched for a wider range of options (heart, head, professional and casual - it all sounds very FIFA The Journey). There's no meter to tally your choices against now - so don't expect to look more evil if you push everyone out of windows.
Andromeda is described as having more romance options than any other BioWare game, which should please fans of that. BioWare is also focusing on broadening these relationships to be about more than sex. Some characters will want a long-term relationship. Others will not.
Overall, squadmate dialogue count has increased from previous games, although it's still unclear how many squadmates there will be. You'll also be able to check in with your sibling (the gender of Ryder you didn't choose) although they won't be joining you on your squad.
So far, two squadmates have been named: your asari teammate seen in various trailers is Peebee (a nickname). You also have a male human on your squad named Liam. Yes, Liam.
Previous leaks have pointed to two more squadmate names: Cora, which may be the female human squadmate we've seen in action, and Drack, a krogan.
As per previous leaks, the game's main antagonists are the Kett (previously known as the Khet). The main villain seemed pretty one-note in the trailer yesterday but BioWare has said we'll see a side of them you could empathise with.
You can explore planets in your Mako vehicle, now named the Nomad. Planets feature combat encounters, puzzles and stories to find. Some have bosses you'll need to return to later to beat (just like the dragons in Dragon Age: Inquisition).
You'll also be able to visit the Nexus, the equivalent of the Citadel, which made the journey to Andromeda first before the four arks for each major race (humans have one, we're guessing the other three are asari, salarian and turian). Turians are definitely in the game, although we haven't seen one yet. It remains to be seen whether Andromeda includes any other Milky Way races.
Arks are lead by Pathfinders, which is the role initially held by the Ryder twins' father and that you eventually take on (so it doesn't look great for him). The game's cover art shows a destroyed ark, and BioWare has said our arrival into Andromeda does not go smoothly.
That said, you can customise your sibling and father's looks at the beginning of the game, although not as extensively as yourself (presumably, your character model will then influence theirs). You can choose to play as the other Ryder sibling if you start a New Game Plus.
Finally, to multiplayer, described as an improved version of Mass Effect 3's enjoyable four-player horde mode. It uses a card-based item system and again lets you pay for more packs, although everything can be unlocked through normal progression. There will even be a system for picking specific individual cards, for a limited time, as well as events where you'll face specific maps and enemies for increased reward.
Multiplayer again ties into the main campaign, although not in a way that affects Andromeda's ending.
Bunch of no-gameplay cutcenes emulating Hollywood in the most generic manner possible, which I guess pretty much sums up Mass Effect.
Looks like Gears of war 4.
LOL GEOW 4 looks like a 360 game :(. now this game Mass Effect l
looks like a game from this generation, so no it doesn't look like GEOW 4 :(

i mean gameplay wise. you take wall cover and shoot.
Non of the past ME games let me down so i dont think a new , next-gen ME will. Yeah i know , gameplay wise games were decent at best and there were flaws here and there but whatever , i enjoyed the first 3 quite alot.
With that being said day 1 for me , its one of those games that ill buy blindly without read/watch/care about any preview/review or what anyone has to say. Its a next-gen ME , finally.

But everybody knows there is a lot more to Mass Effect besides shooting stuff....unlike gears, which is a pure TPS.
Mass effect series >>>>>> Doom series
I agree with you in something Conn ? wow !
@sts106mat: Alright
you know what i mean. Lets hope that they keep it quiet. They can tell us all about the MP etc if they want..
But I don't want to here all about who the potential crew mates are, or the plot. Its something to discover for ourselves, i think they understand that.
In fact, i am not sure why anybody would want to know that stuff right now.
Yeah sure, you're right. Tbh, i have no problem reading some basic information about the game as i'm so excited about it, wanna know more, but i get it why some ppl wanna go fresh and don't read or watch anything regarding the game.

Its inevitable, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
So i need to agree with you once more today , lets see what that might be !
My body is 100% ready!
My body is 700% ready!!!
OK so a little disappointed we didn't get any gameplay footage for N7 day, still the trailer looked good. And I can't wait to see how the story dynamic will play out, choosing either the brother or sister as your playable avatar, and having the other in the story as an NPC.
And why are people talking about Inquisition like it was a bad thing? It addressed literally all the complaints from DA2, and then gave us the most expansive world in a Dragon Age game. They've even been saying Andromeda will have exploreable spaces big as or even larger than the Hinterlands.
Does this not raise excite in y'all?
