As in, this:
Isn't that way better than the 'toy planet' style we ended up with in ME2/3?
Do you have any screens available of the ME2/3 galaxy map? I don't remember what it was like.
P.S.
The Uncharted Worlds track needs to return. Love that track.

It will be something new, but I wish it'll be like this
Its nice to see the planet, but I would rather be on the planet exploring it or have a mission on that planet

Unlike Dragon Age, I feel like Mass Effect as a science fiction / space opera franchise needs to be visually stunning. So I agree that the ME1 view of planets trumps the ME2/3 versions, and I don't think anyone enjoyed having to slowly rotate through the planets with the scanner and search for resources.
I'm not usually a proponent of "the old ways were the better ways" but in this case I did enjoy the beautiful planets of ME1 ![]()
I would prefer a combination of the two personally. The Mass Effect 1 way does look prettier, but I also want to see the entirety of the planets.
I agree with the OP. I'd like to see the view of the planet as if the ship is actually in orbit. Seeing the whole planet doesn't really matter to me. I'd love to be able to see land detail from this view, but I shan't be greedy.
Well, the ME2/3 view is an orbital view too; just a higher orbit. Actually, it looks quite like what you see from a geostationary orbit, though obviously the planet wouldn't rotate if you were in one of those.
True, but the ME1 version is still more authentic and far prettier. ![]()

Yeah, wasn't a fan of the whole scanning thing.
Agreed, OP - Also, that Galaxy Map theme NEEDS to return. An absolute necessity
Agreed. I also didn't enjoy piloting a little Normandy around the map either, and much preferred just selecting the planets and interacting with them as if through the Galaxy Map interface itself, not through a representation of the ship. Just personal preference though.
I liked the ME1 implementation of the map better as well. No need to actually fly the ship around, as this isn't a space flight sim.

Absolutely. That really got old fast.
I didn't like how badly-defined the ship's actual position was in ME1, though.
If I may ask, what was so bothersome about that in your eyes? Because at no point did it have any negative impact on the gameplay or narrative.

The ME:A teaser trailer shows a better view.
It's an RP thing. The ship is in a particular place at all times. Shepard would know what that place is, so I should too.If I may ask, what was so bothersome about that in your eyes? Because at no point did it have any negative impact on the gameplay or narrative.
Agreed with OP I would also like the ME1 travel system to return. You basically clicked to the planet and you get there.
Piloting the Normandy sending probes/refueling/avoiding Reapers was NOT fun.

That's what the teaser trailer shows.. Select a planet and there you are...

I'm also very optimistic about that.
let the exploration part of the game take place on the planets rather than in space. Piloting the Normandy was a chore, if they will get rid of that feature I wouldn't miss it at all.
