Along with things like these, I'm hoping for more organic locales such as dense Jungles and/or forests.
I think wilderness settings are considerably more likely to be included than anything like the above. I am definitely hoping for some of both, but I think a dense jungle region is much more precedented and plausible than a densely urban one.
I like the grit a lot, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want a return to the really clean, clinical, slightly cheesy aesthetic from the first game. At least to some extent. Sometimes it looked like the set from a TV show, and I kinda dug it.

I keep vacillating somewhere in between. I want it all, the sterile and almost incandescent look of the Presidium and the shadowy grit of Omega. One thing I'm certain of, if they do have really beautiful scenery, I hope they don't skimp on the cinematic scenes. I'm very pro heavy cinematics when there's something to see.
Some action in the upper atmosphere of an alien world could be cool, though I could do without space whaling. It would make for interesting visuals at least.
I love that third image.
But I'm a big fan of lots of neon and a noirish vibe to Sci Fi cities.
These pics also remind me of Harrison Ford's Blade Runner movie.

Noirish sci fi is best sci fi. Part of the reason (45%ish) that I really want them to do the nightclub areas is for that kind of atmosphere.

Me too. The hope for some emulation of a darker 80's sci-fi has actually been a recurring theme in this thread.
I'm just not sure how applicable it'll be to a new colony area

I'm sure that they have cities in Andromeda. It can't be all untamed space can it?
No. Cerberus will have got there first. After all, it's only a matter of resources.
Why wouldn't they just piggyback into the Alliance personal if they were going along?
I mean the entire premise of Citadel is them infiltrating the Alliance military.

It's just resources.
Considering the Reaper War devastated the organization I doubt it would have the resources to do that. Warships aren't cheap and they lost a bunch of them, I'm pretty sure anyone who still had their life by the end of it would be fleeing across the Milkyway, although a few might have slipped into the Ark program before it launched, but I'd be surprised if they were a 'galactic' empire of any sort when they weren't even at their peak. They had a grand total of a fleet's worth of warships, and a battalion's worth of soldiers fielded in game.

I dig that too.
I have high hopes and a heretofore unimaginable confidence that a certain game will scratch that particular itch in the next year or so...

After DA:I, I hope not.
I made a topic a while back talking about the importance of civilization in Adromeda. I hope Bioware realizes this.
Planets to explore are good and all, and I cannot wait to do just that. But we also need cities, military outposts, infrastructure in major planets, etc... and it can't just be for show.

Totally agree, some cities to go with all of the vast wilderness and all. I also like the idea of military outposts, maybe when we visit an uncharted world we can establish them on the planet.

Sure.
And it's all been overrun by synthetics. Because the robot uprising is INEVITABLE!!!
Or maybe not, maybe it's all a green utopia because Synthesis is the best answer!
If they give me alot of different types of planets to explore, and no just the same one recolor. Im happy.
That if something the CGI trailer got me hook up, if they deliver something like that i will as happy as i can get.
Really i dont need alot of big futuristic citys. Since for the look of it ME A is more about discovering a new galaxy.
AND OFCURSE at least 4 new super cool alien races. =( i really was hoping the Shadow broken race could have been more explore on ME 3, they look sexy O.o

CGI developed trailers, like a movie production, seem like false advertising to me; gaming graphics on-the-fly aren't the same and are of lesser quality. Some games show hair movement, which adds some natural realism. The wispy hair movement displayed in the character Naomi Hunter in Metal Gear Solid 4 is well done. For visually interesting 'life-like' hair movement, one of my favorite CGI movies is Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001). Dr. Aki Ross' flowing hair was almost always moving, however, it became a visual distraction to me. Can video game image rendering come close to the CGI aesthetic? It's not there yet, because CGI is pre-rendered with banks of computers working to optimize each frame, whereas a game's graphics images and the graphics card just can't do the same level of rendering. BTW - I really liked Ming-Na Wen's voice for Aki in FF: TSW; she has quite the sci-fi acting cred.
Still on the topic of civilization and Andromeda, I was surprised when I realized I haven't mentioned Red Dead Redemption sooner. Mass Effect announcement trailer invoked a old west feel and people have been talking about how an exploration theme and that old west thing could mix in the next Mass Effect game.
And this is where Red Redemption is worth a mention, is many way it's the ultimate old west game. It has a vast wilderness to explore, animals to hunt, desolated places to discovered. Yet it does not forget civilization. There are villages and cities, camps and forts. People that roam the land just like you. Without that, RDR would never be the game it is. It would feel dead and empty.
A planet can feel dead and empty in Andromda, the galaxy cannot.

Red Dead had random events that could happen in the world so maybe something similar could happen with Andromeda. Just so we're not traveling across a barren, empty world.
