Original vs Mass Effect Legendary Edition Gameplay changesĪ controversial change, the Mako's controls have been updated. Overall the experience will be smoother than the original. In terms of performance, Mass Effect Legendary Edition will feature quicker loading times and can be played at 60FPS. Speaking of consistency, the UI for each game will now be consistent across the board, in line with what it looked like in Mass Effect 2 and 3.īioWare will also be adjusting some cutscene angles one, in particular, will no longer focus on Miranda's butt during a very serious conversation. This change also carries over into the second Mass Effect, so the default character model is consistent across all three games - of course, you can still choose to customize her look, and the character creator has been overhauled extensively. You'll also notice that the default Femshep from the first game has been replaced with her iconic look in Mass Effect 3. The games' color grading, along with lighting and shadow effects, has received a facelift too. The greater level of detail makes environments look fuller and denser, and characters look better as well.
The entire Legendary Edition will support 4K resolution and feature improved visuals, textures, models, and more. I promise there's more to its visual enhancements than lens flares.
