And for those, like me, who play on PS4 ?
The demo has to be for everybody, like what Square Enix did for FF15.
If they don't do this, I think it's a huge mistake (and it's very unfair). Why would they move aside a large amount of potential PS4 players ?
Dear BW, hear me please, if there's a demo, do not let us down. Thank you.
EA wanted to work with Sony when it came to EA Access, but Sony refused. So EA isn't to blame, Sony is.

Seriously ? Never heard about that, but thanks for the info ~
Anyway why are we obliged to use EA Access to get a simple demo when plenty of companies let you play theirs for free on every plateform ? Why make everything so complicated for the players... well, don't answer that, money, I know....
Well, I guess I won't have my demo then............
Based on FO4's success, it worked. Sure, Fall Out already has enough name recognition and we won't ever know how successful FO4 would have been had it followed a different marketing approach, but it's hard not to look at FO4's approach as a success, that it built a lot of hype within a few months.
The Witcher 3 was a success and has a different marketing. And so did Skyrim. And hundreds of other games for that matter. Fallout 4 major asset was the huge hype Skyrim built for it.
But if Andromeda is indeed having a broken version of Fallout 4 marketing plan, this is will be proven in the future. Next time we have MEA news it will be a major info dump, am I correct? This is what Fallout 4 did at E3 as I understand (and the reveal itself, of course). Gameplay trailer and full walkthrough? More? Andromeda would have to match that.
Also, it's worth pointing out that concentrating the most of the marketing in the few months before release is nothing new. Pretty much all games do that, actually. It is what will happen to Andromeda, although we can't tell which 'few months' are these cause we have little clue when the game will be actually release. My predicition is a Gameinfomer covereage this year, with a few behind the scenes videos and maybe a full gameplay one. No Fallout 4 style info drop at all.

Holy crap no mention of Turians in your post :DD

Will there be a playable demo or beta of any kind for Mass Effect Andromeda?

I'm betting we find out on #N7day
<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>
My view is this. If Bio deigns to say something about ME:A on N7 day, it will be an announcement regarding a future "info" date. There are too many EA games being launched around this time period and EA, I'm sure, wishes to avoid product dilution or competing with itself.
I am now judging levels purely based upon whether they can be completed with @GambleMike's superhuman skill.
BioWare's greatest contribution to mankind... Luke Skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas!!! #MassEffect #Memories
i'm betting that on N7 day they will show us a new cinematic trailer with glimpses of gameplay and then speak how awesome is developing dthis game and how they can't wait to show us more...hehehe
well, i can really wait without that many info on the game until it releases, but please, don't mess it up with all those paid DLCs which fills the holes in the game. I don't want it to be a game 70% complete and then have to buy something to feel like its complete.
Having said that, every new content is welcome.
I don't have dthe money to buy dozends of DLC and therefore i didn't do it for DA:I, just bought the main game and that's it. But i feel ok with that because the game ended well and i didn't feel it was lacking something.

They want to avoid that so much that they are releasing to multiplayer focused FPS in a one week window!
Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised if N7 day is just another "just wait".

Another announcement about an announcement? 
I could believe that
Hype fatigue is already occurring. Bioware keeps sending tweets about how awesome everything is and yet never show anything. For some that builds hype. For others, the lack of seeing all these awesome things being talked about causes hype fatigue.
Sure, but the number of people actually paying attention to Mass Effect at this point is a tiny proportion of the people who will end up buying it. There'll be literally hundreds of thousands or millions of players who only hear about the game in the weeks before it comes out, or even after it comes out through word of mouth.
The number of people obsessively following information about it on a forum like this one is even tinier. The marketing is not meant for us. People may be suffering "hype fatigue", and that's not necessarily a fun thing to go through, but EA isn't aiming to reach people they already know are paying attention.

Hm..
How are we "normals" suppose to compete with your work?
GUYS. Today I went from "I wonder if I could do <thing>" to "Holy ****, I just got <thing> working"
I don't like tooting my own horn much, but I've been totally kicking ass the last two weeks.
I can function well on a team, but the things I can accomplish when I'm just left to my own devices and can prioritize my own work 
Its days like today when you're on a roll and things are working and you kind of just want to keep going.
But I really need to get something to eat so hopefully i can nail this sucker down tomorrow.

I'm holding on to my hype train until I see some game play. Hell, I haven't even started boarding my hype train just yet. I'm sure that it will be good, if even for the story. There are two main things that I really worry about with ME games -- story and mechanics. This is the one reason why I didn't like ME1, and some would say that I still don't -- that I just tolerate it, for so long. The story kicked ass. The mechanics in it, whew.
The story will be kick ass, even if they end up killing everyone and I die at the end. I have that much faith in BioWare's writing team. Mechanics - not so much, but that's only because I have to fight them (if I don't like them) every inch of the way. If I do like them, like in ME3, then all the better.
The main reason that I haven't started my hype train yet, is I've become hype fatigued before and it's no fun. You end up feeling meh about a game that everyone else thinks is super cool. And you can't figure out why.

Apparently I've reached the stage of work where I'm listening to PSY to retain focus. Oh dear.

Really?
I'm so disappointed. I thought Bach, Beethoven, Strauss or the three tenors was more your style... LOL!
Composer Henry Jackman confirmed with the Ryder family going through something similar with what happened to Lawson family?!
As expected, @GambleMike displayed unreal skill, sometimes I could swear he was playing with his eyes closed. Superhuman.
Jos made a good mission.
