Mass Effect Legendary Edition remaster trilogy

[J1M]

Doesnt it have some kind of grain filter anyway? But, if a game is 3d it should just be fluid, and look decent enough from afar. I dont care about any kind. of retarded pixels anymore.

Yes, but as PC master race we can easily modify our Unreal Engine .ini files to remove mistakes made by the developers, such as their choice of post-processing effects, FOV, and the 0% xp modifer for enemies killed by vehicles.

I used to care a lot about anti aliasing, dsr and stuff like that. Nowadays i wonder what was wrong with me and why did i even care about that stuff. Especially since it slows down the games by some amount.

Aliasing is pretty distracting on a larger monitor from 2 feet away. If you're old enough now that you're half-blind and don't see it then that's cool, but why not use DSR when you can still have a high framerate anyway? I recently played Halo 1 at 2880 and 120fps... why wouldn't I do that? What would be the benefit of just playing at 1440p when you could have more? Don't be a Luddite.

It all introduces some kind of lag thats inevitable. And in dsr even though it makes everything more detailed it still blurs everything even if just a bit. I understand why this has to be but whats the point then? Better just have a faster and clearer image.

You can turn off all blur associated with DSR, and should if you're doing a straight 4x scale (2880p down to 1440p).

 

[Kainan]

I know but an amount of blur is still there.

I can but the technology is just pointless?
Blurry and slowass image. And lower fps.

I really was a retard as i spent a lot of money on gfx cards but all i shouldve done is just lower or turn off AA.

I have a love/hate relationship with ME/ME2 (havent played ME3)
The concept is so promising, it could've turned into some very good games. But execution was just bad. And yet, some parts (namely, crew background/interactions/missions) kept me playing it.

ME1 - closest to rpg. Main story is meh. Good world-building. Decent non-corridor level design. Quests not quite retarded. A lot of copy paste though. Nice character building + banter, as well as interesting squad system.

ME2 - this game couldve been so much more. Make quests less fetchy/retarded. Rework the main story, make the recruitment/loyalty mission the main focus, as most of them are good, especially the DLC ones (Kasumi, Shadow Broker), make it a firefly-type of atmosphere/game. The main story is ass juice in comparison. Popamole combat and corridor levels are serious offenders here, making Vanguard pretty much the only class fun to play on non-retard difficulty levels. hell, even on easy adept still has to wait for cooldowns. So much lost potential here, somehow even more than in the first one. I still kinda enjoyed ME2 with a Vanguard but it was wearing down on me I was still playing a circumcised popamole corridor game.

ME3- didn't have the will to play it after ME2. Maybe Ill check it out with the remaster, idk.

 

[Falksi]

Brave is a man willing to play the ME series without any AA at all.

Especially if they were to have a breakdown because of it.

I really was a retard as i spent a lot of money on gfx cards but all i shouldve done is just lower or turn off AA.

I really started getting used to no AA during that long period where all we had was FXAA and other shit implementations. Unfortunately many modern games have insane shimmering from lighting effects without TAA now, making it almost impossible to turn off.

Old games like this why, why not super sample. No reason not to really.

 

[Prime Junta]

ME3- didn't have the will to play it after ME2. Maybe Ill check it out with the remaster, idk.

The only thing irredeemably wrong about ME3 is the last five minutes. Other than that it's a perfectly acceptable game. There are even some seriously good bits, the closure to the Tuchanka arc for example.

 

[Silverfish]

That's funny, I was the other way around. I thought the bulk of ME3 was a repetitive, boring slog, but the ending at least had some flair.

 

[CaffeineConquistador]

I’m still not convinced these things are real. ME1 with ME3 biotics would be cool, though make the game piss-easy.

Brave is a man willing to play the ME series without any AA at all.

Especially if they were to have a breakdown because of it.

Maybe he forgot to get a tetanus shot from all the jaggies.

 

[jac8awol]

Man, I don't give a shit about remastering, tech improvements or whatever. I just dropped in to say I enjoyed ME1. The initial premise, that there is an ancient alien civilization just outside of our dimension, waiting to kill the entire galaxy, and our only hope of surviving is to kill their messenger, that was absolute gold. Genius level hook for a story. I bought into that big time. I thought gameplay, FPS RPG hybrid stuff was dumb, I didn't particularly enjoy anything except the main story, which I gobbled up like fluids to a starved hooker.

Which is why I was so disappointed that the series went the way it did. ME2 improved a lot of systems, was more polished, better to play, but the plot had so many gaping bullshit moments that it was ruined for me. Couldn't believe it was written by the same guy. Utter failure.

Doesnt that sound kind of retarded? I found the whole Citadel is a trap story pretty bs and couldnt take it seriousy.

 

[Kainan]

I appreciate epicness sure but they shouldve started with smaller scale like BG1s plot, not jump into galaxy saving right away.

 

[Prime Junta]

The initial premise, that there is an ancient alien civilization just outside of our dimension, waiting to kill the entire galaxy, and our only hope of surviving is to kill their messenger, that was absolute gold.

It's also, like, the hoariest cliché in space opera. Still, nothing wrong with reusing them, if they're done well.

My main beef with the entire ME series, very much including ME1, is that they just completely ran out of ideas with the Reapers. The WE ARE BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION villain speech was peak derp, and it only went downhill from there. They had no idea what they were about other than that they periodically harvested civilisations, and kept changing their mind about it all through the series, and yes it got dumber with each instalment, and I didn't think it was possible to get dumber than the giant chrome skeleton shooting death rays out of its eyes.

If they had thought that through, they would've been able to write a decent ending for ME3, too.

 

[moon knight]

They had no idea what they were about other than that they periodically harvested civilisations.

I mean, if you write a villain that is beyond human comprehension, then you can't explain their motivations in any meaningful way. The Reapers should've remain a mystery. An elemental threat

 

[Avarize]

They should have just copied the motivation for the reapers from Alistair Reynolds too. Just leave out the retarded terraformers that came after.

Yeah. They also don't make villain speeches.

Mass Effect trilogy remaster ‘scheduled for October release but could slip’, journalist claims
REPORTER SAYS $60 PRODUCT WILL INCLUDE ‘UPGRADED’ VERSIONS OF THE ORIGINAL GAMES

Electronic Arts has been planning to announce and release a Mass Effect trilogy remaster in October 2020.

That’s according to GamesBeat journalist Jeff Grubb, who made the claim during a podcast on Friday.

While he’s still “pretty confident” EA’s targeting an October release for the unannounced product, Grubb said the publisher’s plans could yet change given the upheaval caused by the coronavirus.

“Up until like this last week, I know the plan for sure was to announce it in early October, release in later in October. So good news.

“Maybe bad news, it’s 2020, maybe that could start to slip, it sounds like maybe that’s a possibility, nothing for sure yet.”

He added: “I know it’s real. I’ve seen more than enough evidence to know it’s real, but it’s still 2020 and they haven’t announced it yet.”

EA has confirmed plans to launch space dogfighting game Star Wars Squadrons, a $40 console and PC title, on October 2.

“I think they were planning to have this Mass Effect trilogy be the other big thing for $60 this holiday, so that’s why I’m still pretty confident it will make it out,” Grubb said, “but with everything else falling apart, like across the board, I could see them also wanting to just delay.

“But that’s not for sure, that’s not a guarantee yet, like that hasn’t even been decided yet, it just seems like it’s a possibility that’s on the table, but last I heard, October, October for both [games].”

Grubb also said fans of the sci-fi series should expect upgraded versions of the three games rather than full remakes.

“I don’t know that for sure, I would probably lean towards upgrade. I think when I asked around about this, that was kind of the vibe I was getting, and I think that’s what people should expect for sure.”

Grubb claimed in June that EA would release a Mass Effect trilogy remaster in its current financial year ending in March 2021.

The BioWare RPG trilogy released for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC between 2007 and 2012.

Given the popularity of the series (the original three games had sold some 14 million units as of 2014), it’s perhaps surprising that they haven’t been remastered for modern platforms before now.

However, the fourth Mass Effect game, 2017’s Andromeda, received the most divisive reviews of the series, which could have reduced excitement around the franchise.

Kotaku claimed in November 2019 that an entirely new Mass Effect game is in the “very early” stages of development at BioWare Edmonton.

The game is reportedly being directed by Mike Gamble, who has worked at BioWare for a decade serving as development manager on Mass Effect 2 and in producer roles on Mass Effect 3 and Andromeda.

Gamble also served as lead producer on 2019’s troubled Anthem, which is being overhauled as BioWare looks to turn around the fortunes of its first new intellectual property in over a decade.

Another project in development at BioWare, Dragon Age 4, isn’t expected to be released before April 2022, according to EA.

In a behind-the-scenes video released this week, BioWare confirmed that the next Dragon Age game is “still in early production”.

I'll buy this as soon as Nexus releases a nude patch.

Go buy Andromeda in that case.
