Mass Effect Legendary Edition Changes - Original vs. Remastered Performance Preview

Mass Effect Legendary Edition features single-player base content and over 40 DLC from Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3 games, including promo weapons, armors and packs.

Furthermore, Bioware has stated that there will be some gameplay enhancements in the first Mass Effect game. According to the team, players can expect improved aiming and weapons balance. Additionally, the game will have better SFX, better Mako controls, input/controls, squad behavior, cover behavior and gameplay cameras.

It’s also worth noting that this trilogy will have some PC-specific improvements. This remastered trilogy will offer a modernized PC experience across all three games with native controller and 21:9 widescreen support. Moreover, there will be user interface navigation improvements, and DirectX 11 compatibility.

Now as we’ve already reported, Bioware is in talks with some modding teams. However, it appears that most existing mods won’t likely work with the Legendary Edition.

Lastly, Bioware has shared some new screenshots that you can find below.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition releases on May 14th.

      1. not caring about it and praising the game pretty much means you’re okay with the censorship in an indirect way

          1. “Now it will not be like “Where Miranda is, there an instant shot on her butt is”.

            Oh i get it, so now you won’t have dirty toughts because the camera won’t focus on her butt or something.

        1. of course you don’t consider it censorship, that’s the mentality that censorship apologists like you always have

          a developer could produce a signed document stating that they censored a female character’s cleavage in their game remake, and you’d still say it wasn’t censorship

          as i said earlier, you’re okay with unnecessary censorship. not only that but a moralf*g as well

          let’s hope in the future they censor something you like in a game

          1. You little weirdos that pumped up for a pixelated animated a*s?
            Jesus, go out once in awhile and get the real thing. It’s a game for Christ sake.

          2. You little weirdos that pumped up for a pixelated animated a*s?

            no, it’s about unnecessary censorship

            if you want weirdos who are triggered over a pixelated animated a** then look no further than the developers themselves who saw it as a massive problem and had to change the camera angle

            Jesus, go out once in awhile and get the real thing.

            hallmark deflection tactic

            It’s a game for Christ sake.

            tell that to the developers who got triggered by the camera angle and had to change/censor it because muh reasons

          3. You may see it as an esoteric censorship issue, but for 90% of people its an a*s issue.

          4. I’m very much against censorship but how is moving a cut scene camera angle equivalent to covering up cleavage? This butt controversy is embarrassing for anti-censorship activism.

            There’s a lot more to be concerned about than that. If it were a great remaster and that’s all that was different I couldn’t care less.

          5. censorship does not have to be just removal of content or covering up something, it can be other things such as camera angle movement

            the camera angle change has taken away a viewpoint that the player used to be able to see in the original. Therefore is is something that has been removed. Therefore it is censorship

            a camera view can be considered content as well, as it is something that is (or was) in the game

            another thing to consider is the reason on why they made the change/censorship, if you read the developer’s comments on the issue, it implies that it was clearly done for agenda/ideological reasons; and if you factor in that the current SJW/feminist narrative that has infested the Western games industry for almost the last decade

            This butt controversy is embarrassing for anti-censorship activism.

            perhaps you should direct that to the developers themselves who had a massive problem with the camera angle in the first place, so much that they had to change it

            also consider The Slippery Slope, which I really doubt you have any interest in given your likely dishonesty

            and also consider that in the current climate, it is mostly attractive female character elements that are getting censored, especially in Japanese games

            I’m very much against censorship but

            “but”

            ah so you’re a selective part-time anti-censorship advocate lmao

            (i really doubt you’re against censorship btw)

            There’s a lot more to be concerned about than that.

            ah yes, the “theres other things to worry about” card to downplay and deflect away from the censorship

            one of the hallmark excuses for censorship apologists

            If it were a great remaster and that’s all that was different I couldn’t care less.

            so you’re not against censorship at the end of the day, thanks for proving me right regarding my suspicions about you

            SJWs are complete magg0ts, but whats possibly even worse then them are disingenuous and lying pos like you

          6. Jesus Christ do you think about this stuff when you lay in bed at night? What a wall of text.

            F*ck you for misrepresenting and twisting my words. You can be against something and enjoy parts of it at the same time.

          7. Jesus Christ do you think about this stuff when you lay in bed at night?

            no, i sleep very well and sound

            What a wall of text.

            so you either have difficulty reading or you’re unable to offer a rebuttal and resort to the ad hominem

            F*ck you for misrepresenting and twisting my words.

            i didn’t, you said you are “very much against censorship” but then go on to imply that the camera angle change isn’t censorship; and then go on to downplay and deflect away from the censorship/changes by saying “There’s a lot more to be concerned about than that”

            You can be against something and enjoy parts of it at the same time.

            the issue here is that you’re disingenuous, meaning that you’re not against the censorship/changes at all, given how you’ve already made three of the hallmark censorship apologist arguments of, to paraphrase: “it’s not censorship”, “there’s other things to be worried about” and “the complaints against the censorship are laughable”

            you are a dishonest pos

          8. You don’t even know me. Why is there always one lunatic looking for a formal debate in these comments? Are you a fat woman or something?

          9. You don’t even know me.

            “you don’t even know me”

            that is such an idiotic statement and one of the most pathetic “arguments” one can respond with, especially on the Internet

            we are anonymous people on this Internet Disqus forum, so of course I don’t know you. i’m not Nostradamus so therefore we can only judge on what we post/say, and you have been making all the excuses that typically come from censorship apologists

            so i have reason to assume that you are a dishonest pos

            Why is there always one lunatic looking for a formal debate in these comments?

            this is informal/casual, and i ain’t looking for a debate

            i’m actually putting you in your place

            Are you a fat woman or something?

            still unable to offer a rebuttal and resorting to ad hominem i see

          10. It sure looks like you want this to be a formal debate. Quoting parts of my comment and using words like ‘ad hominem’.

            Exactly, you don’t know me and therefore you have no grounds to say what I believe.

            I have and never will be ‘put in my place’ by someone named ‘FalconPunch’. Why don’t you go to some pedo ridden Smash Bros. forum and vent your frustrations there?

          11. It sure looks like you want this to be a formal debate.

            lol i don’t, and this ain’t even a “formal debate”, it’s casual stuff for me

            it’s most likely your low intelligence and/or mental incapacity that is making you see this as an attempt at “formal debate”

            Quoting parts of my comment and using words like ‘ad hominem’.

            quoting text on disqus is not hard dude

            Exactly, you don’t know me and therefore you have no grounds to say what I believe.

            your posts/responses here suggest you are censorship apologist

            already explained to you on how the “you don’t know me” excuse is not an argument on a internet forum with anonymous strangers

            I have and never will be ‘put in my place’ by someone named ‘FalconPunch’.

            you already have been, and again now

            you being unable to offer any arguments proves it

            Why don’t you go to some p ridden Smash Bros. forum and vent your frustrations there?

            i don’t play smash and not a fan of that game

          12. no its not, its embarrassing for the censors, how petty you have to be to go and change camera angles in a old game because you found it sexist? HOW PETTY?

          13. Ya sure, but when the general public (as in 99% of the people who will buy this game) see that criticism, it just looks laughable.

        2. anyone who makes the “mature” argument is a moron, look at 6:48, this is the new “advisors” and the new target audience everything these people make is post ironic millennial humor, nothing they do is serious.

      1. i use it purposely to mock the character, mock the game she comes from, and throw it onto people’s faces so they see for themselves on how ugly it is

    1. You’re just ok with everything and anything. As long as you get to play with your toy. You are pathetic, they can do no wrong in your eyes.

  1. Lens flare galore, easier difficulty and Miranda censorship… but hey, couches have cushions!

    1. skin shaders look much better though. @ 6:28
      reduced shine + subsurface scattering + ambient occlusion.
      they don’t look like a shiny sweet potato any more.

    2. Some are saying romances have been largely removed/cut down. I guess well see how true that is soon enough though.

  2. Looks really bland, they should just pick the best mods and graphic enhancement and repackage it, assuming they didn’t do this already.

  3. The art direction overall, and the mood of the game is completely different. These games got butchered.

  4. The PC version of ME1 is a botched port. The guy who did MEUITM is working on fixing the broking lighting and restore it to the same level as the X360 among other things.

  5. “AI” upscaling. It doesn’t get much lazier than that.

    It is EA we’re talking about here though. So, to be honest, I actually expected even less.

  6. fugly cover art. jesus i’ve modders putting way more effort into their (FREE) cover art than these professionals. speaking of free i didnt see it mentioned in the article but is this free for those who own the original trilogy?

    1. to be fair me3 had better combat and some solid momments mainly in the dlc, but yearh me2 is awesome, me3 had some great weapons from dlc and the citadel dlc was great the first game was mediocre.
