Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster trilogy

[vibehunter]

This is a deliberate butchering. The originals on the 360 looked better.

 

[ferratilis]

No. 1 top seller on Steam, with RE8 being second. Reviews are mostly 9s. Sheeple are hype af, just look at ME subreddit. Decline all around.

To make things worse, other companies will see how successful this shit is, and thus the bar for future remasters has been significantly lowered, as if it's not low enough already.

Told you.

I think the remaster bar is firmly embedded in the ground at this point.

That ship sailed long ago.

The ride never ends.

 

[Tyranicon]

I still don't understand why I should buy this when the PC version with mods is 1000% better.

Do you people not have PCs?

 

[mogwaimon]

this is what happens when you push the 'better graphics!!!' meme over actual art design and aesthetics.

 

[Nano]

I'm not sure I get it. Isn't this the fandom that mercilessly bashed Andromeda for its derpy graphics? Why is this getting a pass?

 

[karoliner]

Years go by and people forget.

No. Biodrones defended Andromeda, fiercely. I was actually banned on /r/masseffect for laughing at it.

Did they make any gameplay changes to Mass Effect 1? I started replaying it a year ago and it wasn't a lot of fun. That would be the only interesting feature of a remake.

Snappier gunplay (but the cooldown system has been kept), greater EXP gain so you can hit max level on a single playthrough, easier Mako controls although you can toggle the original controls if you wish.

 

[Average Manatee]

And here they fucked up lighting so bad that thanks to shadows on his face he looks like a late stage alcoholic... with some lipstick on.

Gotta make the audience feel included

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Also smaller text sizes. Because.

According to some small review, now you basically don't have to put points into wep skills in order to use them. I.e. right away shooting with sniper rifle etc. Overheating and medi-gel cooldowns were also relaxed significantly. They didn't compensate these changes for AI apparantely thus as a result, early/mid game difficulty has collapsed.

 

[retinoid]

Another case of retarded devs making global lighting changes for the sake of making changes and completely fucking up the artistic intent of the original scene. What a surprise, never seen that before.

Thank You from The Mass Effect Legendary Team

Hello again, everyone!

By this time tomorrow, Mass Effect™ Legendary Edition will be in your hands. It’s been a long-awaited day for all of us on the team, but you—our community—have been asking for this for years. Just like in 2007, thousands of people are getting ready to don the N7 armor for the very first time—but this time, thousands more are dusting off their old gear for the adventure ahead.

To us, the Legendary Edition is more than just a remaster. It‘s also a celebration of you—our community—so we’ve been putting together a celebration video in honor of Mass Effect fans around the world. You’re as much part of this journey as we are, and it only felt right to celebrate you.

We’ve also been celebrating our fans with #MyShepard on social media since the reveal of the Legendary Edition, spotlighting community creations and more on the Mass Effect accounts. Check it out!

#MyShepard is for those who’ve been with us since the beginning, who’ve recently joined our community, and who are preparing to come along in the future. Thousands of players have used this hashtag to share their fan creations, custom key arts, favorite Mass Effect moments, real-world experiences, and so much more.

We know how much Mass Effect means to you, and it’s a privilege to bring you these games. They mean the world to us, too! So as one final message, we wanted to thank you personally.

Thank You



For over 17 years, Mass Effect has been a constant companion for me in my professional and personal life. I can’t really imagine a world without it, and I hear many of our fans say the same. The journey that’s brought us together—fans and developers—has been an amazing shared experience.

Thank you.

Thank you for your passion, and for your excitement, and for enthusiastically joining us on this incredible journey.

Also, thank you to all the developers who worked on the original trilogy—all their hard work and innovation made this possible. And of course, thank you to the entire Legendary team whose passion carried us through the last 21 months and a global pandemic to bring Mass Effect to 2021 and a new generation of players. It’s been humbling and immensely rewarding to work with both of these teams and be part of the Mass Effect adventure.

And so, the journey continues.

Tomorrow, over 14 years after the first Mass Effect was released, the Legendary Edition will bring new fans and old fans together as you embark on Shepard’s adventure. Thousands of choices and hundreds of hours of sci-fi epic await you. I can’t wait to see where it takes us next.

—Mac Walters, Project Director

yea I saw the same thing with some Batman Arkham Knight remaster which had a certain dark, shadowy tone going on & then the remaster changed the lighting and made all the cutscenes looks weird

 

[Old Hans]

jesus what an absolute tumblr nightmare

 

[Lacrymas]

These are exactly the people I envision when I think "Mass Effect fans". I find them adorable, though.

yea those are the people on the reddit sub forums for games you wanna find information for, but its always full of "I made a mass effect pillow cover for my boyfriend"

 

[Padzi]

I miss old Mass Effect fanbase. Right now it's so cringy.

These have always been the Mass Effect fans. There were more than likely others too, but they moved on a decade ago.

 

[Padzi]

Like I said. I miss those who moved on.

The remaster:

Ouch! Liara, I feel sorry for you.

They could've used the ME2 LOTSB texture and change eye colours, it would've been 10x better
