‘Mass Effect: Andromeda’ in 4K: Ryder seen fighting a monster; New video shows off Nomad upgrades
The graphics settings of “Mass Effect: Andromeda” PC version has been revealed along with 4K screenshots, captured using NVIDIA Ansel and its Free Camera and Super Resolution options, at max detail. The game looks stunning in these enormous images from NVIDIA.
The images from GEFORCE show Ryder bombing different enemy creatures, including one that is too large for him to even comprehend. By looking at the sheer size of this creature, “Mass Effect: Andromeda” fans will know that it has probably chosen a wrong Galaxy to make it its home. It is definitely not there to welcome new life forms, except the Batarians perhaps, writes TechnoBuffalo. One of the images shows a new Mako tank cruising across a moon.
