I guess they decided to just give up on tactical action hybrid for straight action. That wouldn’t give me such hesitation but for BioWare’s reputation for unimpressive animations. For any other game I’d say what they’ve shown could very well be unpolished placeholders but given that it’s BioWare, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t improve. The character model’s armor is super awkward looking too, but that typical for the series.
I don’t know if BioWare is long for this world. Might be another acquisition casualty left in EA’s wake.
But I’m not prescient, could be totally wrong. Maybe it will be great.
