@styymy: That's partly a function of both the quality of CGI and the expectations of viewers going up as well. We expect things to look better and more realistic as time goes by and as a result CGI costs continue to follow suit. There are more than a few movies out there using cheap, low-quality CGI on a budget. "SyFy" shows quite a few of them in fact. The CGI in these movies likely cost far less than the CGI in movies like Explorers or Tron despite being orders of magnitude better, at least from a technical perspective.

@cherub1000: For hopefully obvious reasons, the company's name is BuyerBEAware. ;-)

@sirartorias91: Look on the bright side though; the origination of the Andromeda game(s) is (supposedly) before Mass Effect 3's ending so we don't have to wonder how the heck they survived the destruction of the galaxy.

@ziphr: Even though it would likely not have been permissible due to lore-based reasons it would have been interesting if the Geth went along. Then again Mass Effect 3 strongly indicates that the devs and/or story writers are willing to ignore the lore when it's convenient to them.

Why would we, or for that matter they, want Mercy working for British Aerospace?

@jinzo9988:

Nothing stops developers from making games that use tradeoffs such as increased utilization of data streaming to compensate on 32-bit systems while loading more assets into RAM immediately on 64-bit systems. It increases the workload and the maintenance of the code to support two distinct variants of the same program, yes, but that doesn't actually make it impossible as you seem to be implying with, "which meant that your game absolutely could not need more RAM than what 32-bit is only able to support."

I'd also like to mention that I personally haven't seen any game, x64 or x86, use 4GB of system RAM. Fallout 4 has come close at 3.2-3.5GB, but even that's short of the 4GB limit even if you went by "manufacturer's GB" and not the "gimmebytes" or whatever label is used to describe the binary value of 1024^4 by decimal apologists and hard drive manufacturer shills.

That last bit is intended for humor.

So are any of these roster issues making it into WWE 2K15 or 2K16? I only ask because this is GameSpot, not WrestlingSpot, and as such it here to cover news pertinent to video games. I mean the only other reason I see for these sorts of articles is that WWE is paying GameSpot or CBS Interactive to host them in lieu of traditional advertising as a way of bypassing ad blocking software.

@Relvar: Plus it's *perfectly* safe to eat cigarette butts like Tootsie Rolls!

So does this mean that there's going to be a DLC for the most recent wrestling game(s) to update the rosters to match the current rosters? Do we get to plug a mouse into Vince McMahon's serial port and a controller dongle into Stephanie's USB slot and make them fight like Rock'em Sock'em Robots?

I just ask because I didn't see anything relevant to gaming in general much less video gaming in specific in the article. I also can't find the downvote button.

@crusaderprophet: I got that, that's why I said that your statement sounded promising. All I was doing after was explaining why the situation concerned me, that Andromeda might take place in some story point that, based on what was established in the first two games, was thematically insupportable if not impossible. You cleared up that that won't be the case.
