Mom's Minute

EA was mum regarding the Mass Effect video game during its E3 2015 press conference on June 15, 2015 choosing instead to concentrate on news for eSports type games as well as Tom Clancy's Division and others.  The next video game in the Mass Effect franchise was announced during E3 which was held June 16-18, 2015 at Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California.  Maybe this game was going to be the surprise hit for EA; however, looks like the reception so far has been luke warm at best.

You may recall the massive negative publicity EA as well as BioWare suffered with the ending of the previous Mass Effect video game.  The company went so far as to give refunds for the game because of the disappointment and total letdown gamers experienced after finishing this video game.   There had been talk from EA of another video game forthcoming in the Mass Effect series, with EA being emphatic, in my opinion, the name of the game would not be Mass Effect 4. Well, now we know the name of the video game will be Mass Effect Andromeda, set in a whole different galaxy and environment.

Based on the Mass Effect Andromeda trailer, the world will be set in part on a mountainous type terrain, with the characters transversing across it, which probably includes explorations as well.  As with most action adventure games, Mass Effect Andromeda will most likely have its share of battles, explosions and other cinematography likes effects, which have become customary with these types games. Of course, more information will become avalable as the video game gets closer to its release date.

It's early yet.  The developers have some time to differentiate Mass Effect Andromeda from its predecessors which will hopefully culminate in an enjoyable, exciting video game to play and not just more of the same.

For now, I guess we will have to just wait and see.  Mass Effect Andromeda video game is expected to be rated M for Mature and currently has a release date of Holiday, 2016.
