Ok, I think I have the winner.

Shockingly bad. But then I shouldn't be surprised by Bioturd.

When will they realize that what makes a characters look good is not the amount of polygons it has, but the lighting and shadow, and angle during cutscenes/dialogues.

A good character design looks good in all lighting conditions. More polygons certainly helps (it's not the case here, they are still low poly), shadows to hide imperfections per scene is very far from ideal, and this is a good example of how that is a bad idea when you later decide to do a remaster with much brighter lights.

It's very odd they've decided to brighten up the game to this degree, it just makes everything look very flat and boring, imperfections stands out way more. They could have upped the brightness perhaps 20% instead of 50% or whatever.

hahahaha, absolutely hilarious. I can't wait for the mainstream shitstorm tomorrow.
I've seen too many people who watched the streams praise the graphics. Maybe it'll be different when they're forced to confront it on their own screens.

My copy came yesterday but I couldn't play until today (and barely got in 45 mins as I'm heading to work and in and out of minding my son too). I'm on PS5 for the record.

First impression are good, character models have really impressed me in ME, although I still really don't like Andersen's at all. Sound has been very good as well. Had small bit of a delay with some conversation choices with characters, and had a couple of visual glitches. One was when you see Sovereign, I paused and when I went back it was gone completely and just a puff of red smoke was there. The other was this:

And there was such a hullabaloo about original artistic vision around the ME3 ending...

But yeah these look very weird. I get that a good amount of the harsh shading in ME1 was to hide plain textures, but this looks like most shadows were just removed? You sure this is from the game and not just some toolset or such?
