A new comparison video for the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is here to show how far we have come from the original Mass Effect
It should come as no surprise that the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is going to look, visually, superior to the original version of it all. That is kind of the whole reason that we are getting this new version of the game from BioWare so we can experience the way our brains remember it all and not the way it actually was. Yes, this is a slam to not only Mass Effect but all of those games from years ago we remember were “groundbreaking” in the visual department and not just the gameplay ones. All of which is something I can already feel my future self thinking as we all look back at how our current titles look. For those that cannot think like that, we have a new comparison video to show you just how different things are looking now.
You are already imagining that this version of Mass Effect is going to have some better lighting, you would be correct, but it is nice to see just how these new textures and models they slipped in will also enhance things a bit more. None of it is to the level we would expect from a huge title like this if it was being made for today, but it is still a massive feat to have been able to get it to where it is now. All to the point where I may have to go back and re-experience Mass Effect one more time to see if everything else still holds up. Also, given the fact that there have been multiple quality of life updates to the game here that none of these videos seem to want to talk about. It is all about the visuals and not much more. You can see how pretty the game is looking just below if you have not skipped on down to it already.
