Mass Effect Andromeda: Shepard’s return, first-person mode, classes and more unanswered questions

Bioware continues to keep Mass Effect Andromeda behind closed doors for the most part, with new info on the highly anticipated title expected to be lacking at least until N7 Day. However, that didn’t stop long-time fans of the series from pestering the devs in the hopes for getting some juicy new details. Senior Development Director Chris Wynn, in particular, was bombarded on Twitter with all sorts of questions concerning Mass Effect Andromeda last week. Needless to say, questions regarding undisclosed details about the game are very difficult to (decline to) answer in a tactful manner, but Wynn did it anyway. So let’s take a look at what the Bioware dev had to say about those questions, shall we?

First off, let’s talk about the long-rumored return of Commander Shepard. As you probably know, the commander’s fate has remained unknown after the end of the original trilogy. Bioware already confirmed that Shepard will not return for Mass Effect Andromeda, but what about further down the line? The chances are admittedly pretty slim, however, the company isn’t completely dismissing the idea apparently. When asked about the return of Shepard in a future installment, Chris Wynn simply replied with “that’s impossible to answer.” Not the most promising statement, but at least there’s a bit of hope for the future. Perhaps in some sort of prequel? We’ll see.

Shepard aside, Wynn elegantly dodged a few more interesting questions, this time specifically aimed at Mass Effect Andromeda. Apparently, even the Senior Development Director is “not sure yet” when we can expect to hear some details regarding the game’s plot. N7 Day (November 7th) would be a great time to announce something new so here’s hoping for the best. Wynn also avoided revealing anything about the game’s classes, however, he did say that “we will talk more about classes and things at a later time.” So, there we have it, nothing concrete but at least it seems like Bioware is preparing to give answers to some of these questions in the near future. Again, my money is on N7 Day.

Interestingly enough, Wynn previously stated that a first-person mode for the Mass Effect Andromeda multiplayer would be “pretty expensive and risky”, though he didn’t go into further details or explain why that would be the case. After all, some of the best multiplayer FPS titles out there are being played from a first-person perspective. Sounds rather strange if you ask me…

As for the highly anticipated Mass Effect Remasted Trilogy, Wynn had “no words” to share with the fans.

Mass Effect Andromeda is currently scheduled to release during Holiday 2016 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. If you want to be kept up to date with any future announcements or news make sure you sign up for the newsletter on the official website. Stay tuned for more.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
