Considering most fans play Mass Effect for the single-player anyway, I think it was the right decision to make. Given the logistics and time it would have taken to bring multiplayer to the Legendary Edition, it was eventually decided that it wouldn't make the cut. Mass Effect 3's multiplayer also won't be returning. Once the level loads in, you'll be given a choice to listen to the rest of the dialogue or skip it. To keep some of that witty banter in place, however, the dialogue will now be sped up so that it triggers quicker. Due to new technology, loading screens aren't as long as they used to be, meaning this cuts down drastically on the time our characters spend in elevators. The long elevator rides, designed to mask loading screens, were another staple of the series that have been changed this time around. For those who don't like this change, BioWare revealed that there's an option to choose the Mako's original controls in all of their janky glory. Overall this should have the vehicle feel more realistic and less sluggish. BioWare implemented some quality of life improvements in the Legendary Edition that update the physics to make it feel more weighted, smoother camera operations, and HUD adjustments. You either love to hate it or hate to love it, but the Mako's janky controls were a staple of Mass Effect. 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.
