Can someone post the actual stream? I don't trust that youtusbe link and when I remove the S it says the video is not available.

The quality is too poor, so I was going to say the only change I see is they've put some lip gloss on Ashley to maybe simulate her look in ME3, but then I noticed Kaidan also has lip gloss, lol. Their hair also seems darker/blacker than it used to be?

I don't understand how the system requirements could have risen so dramatically.

Jesus Christ. This is embarrassingly bad. Udina in particular looks like a ghoul.

Udina looks like a ghoul, Anderson looks like a recently-bloated corpse. I think a new law is appropriate: Lacrymas' first law of remasters - if the original game is 3D, the remaster will almost certainly look worse.

Also, everyone has eyeliner as if they are going to go to the local goth club after this is all over.
Yeah, it's like a counter-measure for the new lighting with the purpose that faces wouldn't look too bland. What a shitty counter-measure though - put lots of make-up on everyone, Anderson included lmao.

Just look at Kaiden, what a joke.

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.

I don't understand how it's possible to do a worse job than mods? If I were them and wanted to stealthily do a hack job, I'd just steal the mods and work a bit more to improve them. That + the gameplay changes would've been covert enough to not be accused of a hack job while it actually being a hack job at the same time. These AAA companies have the bad habit of underestimating how expensive and time-consuming remastering a 3D game for modern standards will actually be. A quick cash-grab doesn't work - look at Warcraft 3.

Don't remind me that Reforged exists. I've waited for a remaster for as long as I remember myself. Each Blizzcon, all I wanted was a remaster of Warcraft 3. Now it exists. And it's shit, worse than the original.

I see they didn't manage to fix the dead puppet eyes in time for release.
