i want a playstation now:

Careful, my dick can only get so hard.

Are you able to choose between 1st person and 3rd person in Battlefront or does it change on its own? I can't play 1st person games.

Sure looks like you can switch. Hopefully, since I'd like to do first-person on the ground and probably third-person for fighters.

[BurtReynolds]

Pretty good E3 so far.

[BurtReynolds]

Last one was fun!

hmm thats weird. I haven't heard about that one. Obsidian sure isn't making it. Looks good though.

Today we debuted the first cinematic trailer for our next game, Mass Effect™: Andromeda. While we are still many months away from the game’s release date in holiday 2016, we’re excited to show you a bit of where we’re at. First, though, some background on the game itself.

When we wrapped up the original Mass Effect trilogy with Mass Effect 3: Citadel in early 2013, planning and design on Mass Effect: Andromeda was already well underway. We knew we wanted to start with a foundation composed of the best parts of any Mass Effect game: exciting new worlds to discover, great characters, and intense action. At the same time, we clearly wanted to expand the definition of what you should expect from a Mass Effect game.

While we aren’t ready to go into too many details just yet, as you saw in the trailer and can tell by the name, this game is very much a new adventure, taking place far away from and long after the events of the original trilogy. You will play a human, male or female, though that’s actually not the character you saw in the trailer (more on that later). You’ll be exploring an all-new galaxy, Andromeda, and piloting the new and improved Mako you saw. And through it all, you will have a new team of adventurers to work with, learn from, fight alongside of, and fall in love with.

We built this trailer in Frostbite™, our game engine, and it represents our visual target for the final game. We are thrilled by what we’ve already been able to achieve in bringing Mass Effect to Frostbite and by putting our entire focus on PC and current gen consoles. With the time remaining in development, we’re excited about the possibility to push things even more.

Thank you again for all of the support you keep showing us, and we’re looking forward to sharing more details with you near the end of the year. Until then, the teams in our Montreal, Edmonton, and Austin studios will be hard at work creating an entirely new adventure for you to lose yourselves in.

Thanks,

Aaryn Flynn, Studio General Manager, BioWare Canada

Yanick Roy, Studio Director, BioWare Montreal

Transformers makes childhood CopperTom happy. I liked the last 2.

I'm going to end up buying a PS4 just for this game.

XBox One is getting backwards compatibility with the 360.

Honest question, once new hardware is out how often do you go back to play your older system?

I think I've played 2 or 3 PS3 games since I got the PS4. There are games I'd like to play on it but there is only so much time.

Based on hearing you talk about how thinking about the size of the universe fries your mind, I figured you might be into this. It's like they put that into a game.

I still play my old systems pretty often, simply because there really aren't that many appealing games available on the new systems yet. In my opinion, of course.

Are there any games being announced this week that you are looking forward to?

The big one for me was Mass Effect: Andromeda. Star Wars: Battlefront looks cool, too, and of course I cannot waaaaiiiitttt to get my hands on No Man's Sky. Not sure about all the other stuff so far. God I'm so picky.

How 'bout you?

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh, did anyone else see that virtual Minecraft reveal? That is insane. That's some science fiction shit. It's like digital Legos or something.

Star Wars Battlefront looks really fucking good, but i don't know if i can buy into another MMOFPS.
