    • @miller42
      @miller42 Před 7 lety +5

      That's because Bioware doesn't know how to use the Frostbite engine. It was way worse in Dragon Age Cisquisition, every character had a greasy face.

    The faces man, they look so creepy. They literally only move their mouths wtf, is BioWare just hiding their facial animations or what?

    • @Empress_Theresa
      @Empress_Theresa Před 7 lety +13

      They wasted all their money in "exploration" (aka: collect 50 green rocks for 60 hrs) and Multiplayer because...you know, every EA game HAS to have multiplayer.

    • @bigbadwolf3199
      @bigbadwolf3199 Před 7 lety +14

      I know! I don't undersand why they don't gave expressions to the character, maybe is because they are just small dialogues like the ones in Dragon age Inquisition when your character says something after a mission, instead of a fully made cutscene.

    • @bluntlythebear1525
      @bluntlythebear1525 Před 7 lety +4

      BlueShit199 I've heard rumors that said that they'll have a day 1 patch solving these issues. It's far fetched I know... but I hope it comes true, how am I supposed to feel emotionally tied to these characters when they don't skis emotion to me.

    • @Diree
      @Diree Před 7 lety

      Hm, have you watched the trailer? They actually move pretty much every part of their face. It's not Witcher 3 or Last of Us or whatever, but I'm thinking this does look better than in all the previous videos I've seen. It's not "great", but it definitely doesn't completely creep me out anymore.

    • @Jsquared62
      @Jsquared62 Před 7 lety +1

      The upper half of their faces do move a decent amount, but the lower half expresses almost no emotion, that is the creepy part.

    • @chrissargent6177
      @chrissargent6177 Před 7 lety +1

      That would be cool but I think he's dead and they're examining the corpse so they can find out more about them as a species.

    • @captainfirefeet
      @captainfirefeet Před 7 lety +2

      That is most likely honestly. i DO think its strange though since his body looks really clean.

    • @chrissargent6177
      @chrissargent6177 Před 7 lety

      That's true cus no matter how he died there would be some visible damage. But I wonder how the got his body back to the ship cus that's not the easiest thing do. For one of your crew it would be worth it but for an enemy not really since most encounters with the kett seem that they have the advantage but it might be from a part that's not been shown yet. Could also be he's a prisoner and is sedated it'd be similar to the dead reaper mission and legion.

    @jos.1839 Před 7 lety +8

    I think the graphics (especially skin textures) are gorgeous. Look at Liam. Great job with frostbite. Ok I admit the expressions are a bit unnatural but still it looks good. I think their eyes are moving constantly (not fixed on ryder in dialogue) and that looks odd. I really like it so far. The music, the feeling, aliens, exploration etc etc. I like it.

    • @Accuracy158
      @Accuracy158 Před 7 lety +1

      Greg Miller said the same thing in his first impressions video. I don't think it was too too bad (or maybe I'm just used to hearing Nolan North everywhere in games :P )
      But science officer Cait spoke though there was a huge disconnect for me... Maybe the Irish like accent just draws my attention faster.

      Yeah, He looks very good... Too bad he can't be in the squad, Maybe if Cora fall accidentally into the reactor core or otherwise, we still can forget her on the lava planet.
      And is that me or sometimes Jaal seems to have thinner thighs and sometimes larger.
      Thinner in the squad selection (the one with Vetra), even when he talks to Scott at the start and quite impressive when he runs into the cargo bay at the end and in some other videos.
      The shoulders of Liam are weird in this video. Anyway Gil looks much better to me. I think he would be much more confortable into my quarter.

  • @TheAngryAsianAnimations
    @TheAngryAsianAnimations Před 7 lety +42

    Alright, I think I know what the issue with the facial animations are.
    Even in the original triology all the face animations were really bad too. Shepard only had two good expressions: serious and pissed off. All the other expressions came off as just plain funny. People who romanced Tali in ME2 probably remember the awkward perv smile. The other crew mates also had rather stiff expressions.
    Now in these previews a few things strike me. The graphics have gotten much better but the facial animations haven't really changed at all so the rigid and awkward face movements become twice as obvious. Ryder clearly has a more colorful personality than Shepard so the stiff and serious face doesn't really work anymore. They seem to have put a cheerful expression on Sara Ryder but now she seems to always be smiling even when she shouldn't be. The male Ryder...yeah, he looks like he staring off into space. And for this trailer, I don't think they finished animating the faces because only the mouths are moving for most of them so no facial change. It's just a blank expression. This might just mean they aren't finished animating. All models start off with blank expressions. PB is the big offender here. She clearly has a child-like bubbly personality but she has no expression here (though she does have it in the other trailers).
    So, yeah, I feel the reason all the faces look so strange is because the graphics improved but the facial animations are the same.

      So that's when he does that smile.I never got deep into the romancing feature of mass effect,but i've always wanted to know where that popular picture of him came from in the game.

    • @TheAngryAsianAnimations
      @TheAngryAsianAnimations Před 7 lety

      If you want the details, the pervy smile picture was from the Miranda romance when they were talking about her body (really...freakin...creepy). But the for the Tali one, once they talk about hooking up and how she will meet him in his cabain she turns back to the computers and the camera cuts to Shepard with this really weird smile on his face.

    • @devinwalters8769
      @devinwalters8769 Před 7 lety

      Lmaoo-Oh,i've actually seen that one but it was with a user created shepard.Based on that picture and what you've mentioned, it looks alot worse as default shepard which cracks me up. The fact that you said the camera shows him doing it after tali turns around made me laugh even harder. XD

      You're right, the graphics and textures are really good, so they are making them look more human, but the robotic expressions are twice visible.
      The uncanny valley becomes deeper and bigger if you make the cliffs around it higher.
      it's like if there was a fake looking robot doing human things, you wouldn't notice. But if you made the robot look like a human completely, then you will notice the robotic animations.
      Other games have raised the bar way too much. Check out Witcher 3. The expressions in that game are unbelievable. Bioware has not improved that much.

    I keep seeing people whine about the facial animation in every Andromeda promo video. Even though I get why they're making the points, there is a counterargument that I don't see enough people trying to make. Specifically, I see people claiming an inability to connect with the characters because of one aspect of the animation or another, but consider this:
    How did people connect with characters like Garrus, Tali, Wrex, or Legion (my favorite character)?
    The ability of a digital asset to "show" emotion relies relatively little on facial expression. Behavior, voice, and diction do far more to carry the foundation of any connection a player has to the character. Honestly, I found it easier to connect with the characters in Mass Effect games than in most animated entertainment I've seen throughout my life perhaps - and maybe this has something to do with me being an Aspie - because the characters' expressions of body language or facial expression aren't obnoxiously loud or overstated relative to what it is they are trying to express. While there are things on which I certainly agree the developers need to focus to improve the experience, I'm not too hung up on whether or not I can see the infinitesimal welling of mucus on a character's tear ducts as they tell me about how much their lives were shaped by [insert canned tragedy here].

    With the money and the tech these companies have for games, this game should feel allot further ahead than its predecessor. Games that have came out years ago have better emotional facial animations when speaking to them. This feels bland, and doesn't look like it will have the same feeling as its other games. Horizon Zero Dawn's facial capture is insane, and has so much emotion in it.

      Well, I have a feeling Mass Effect Andromeda is a MUCH larger game than Horizon. Every game has to make sacrifices somewhere. HZD was weak in its interaction with the community. At least felt that way to me. I never felt truly connected with the world or people. Everyone just seemed part of the scenery. Great action, but felt it lacked in the former regard. As for MEA, I've mentioned already, I don't find the facial animations lacking technically, they just don't look natural.

    • @michaelvasconcelos1788
      @michaelvasconcelos1788 Před 7 lety
