New Mass Effect: Andromeda trailer introduces the new squad

Mass Effect: Andromeda is coming out very soon but so far, we haven't actually seen that much of the game, or heard that much about its premise. Fortunately, it looks like Bioware is starting to open up a bit more when it comes to Andromeda, starting off with a new trailer released late last night, which introduces us to the new squad of characters and gives us some brief details about the mission to the Andromeda galaxy.

The new trailer is cinematic, so there isn't any final gameplay footage. However, it does help set up the story for this game. The basic premise is that you are on a mission to find a new home for humanity somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy, unfortunately upon your arrival, you run into an unwelcoming race known as the Kett, who are led by the Archon.

The trailer itself is narrated by Cora Harper, a biotic member of the Valkyrie Program, she will be your second in command throughout this game. The team also includes Alec Ryder, a decorated N7 operative who served during the first contact war with the Turians. We also get to meet SAM (Simulated Adaptive Matix), who is an AI character, as well as Liam Kosta, a crisis response specialist.

Mass Effect Andromeda is coming out on the 21st of March. However, if you own an Xbox One or PC, you can subscribe to EA Access or Origin Access and play ten hours of the game starting from the 16th of March.

KitGuru Says: It is nice to finally start seeing a bit more of what Mass Effect Andromeda has to offer. Now we just need to sit tight and hope that the game turns out good. Are any of you planning on picking up the new Mass Effect in March?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
