3 can be skipped. Yuck.
Hyped for this though. Looking forward to sinking many hundreds of hours into the trilogy all over again.
PS Plz be 4K/60.

same, the character model just take up too much of the screen. it makes the image far too tight on the eyes
its such a shame that for all the good a remaster can do it's these simply-to-do changes that can do so much damage. and its only done to create visual parity with the sequels. They should just leave stuff alone
this is exactly why a few months back I posted in another thread that I would rather EA just do a straight res/texture upgrade, because any gameplay changes they do they are more than likely going to get wrong

BioWare Explains Why It Didn't Bring Back Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer In Legendary Edition
Why isn't the multiplayer experience included in the remaster? BioWare tells Game Informer in an exclusive interview why it was just too complicated.

Yeah, Zaeed doesn't look anything like the left picture even on xbox 360. That's like the most unflattering, worst case scenario screenshot you could use lol.
Bought this series on 360. Rebought on pc. And I will buy it again when I have a next gen console.
Really hope they will update some of the animations. Shepard looks like a constipated man running in ME2 ,and I can't even find the words for what happens in ME3.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
They put effort into it and didn't just port the PS3/360 versions to PS4/XBOX ONE
I know you would be happy with that, but hey just switch your motion+ on your TV to max if it bothers you so much and pretend it's 60fps

I can't wait, but no multiplayer makes me really sad.

LOL.
I guess I missed the side mission where Zaeed does Blackface.
I didn't watch the videos, but I'm hoping EA isn't cherry picking the worst looking scenes at the worst situation to compare against the remastered look. That would be ultra ingenuine.

That was a dope trailer. i'll play em again. The modifications they're making to the first game seem like the right calls.

Feels like it went from pseudo realistic to cartoony.

At first I was excited about this. Well, as excited as one can be for an update. But the more I am seeing and hearing about it, the less I care about it. I played the originals mostly on PC, and they looked and still look pretty good. It sounds like most of the work was done to ME1 to bring it up to ME2 and ME3 standards. No mention of additional content. In fact some was removed or lost. No mention of fixing the ending to ME3 or adding alternative ending(s). It really sounds like a reskin for ME2 and ME3 with updates to ME1. It may be a much bigger update to console gamers with a 4K TV and a 4K capable console. But for PC gamers, not much to see here. I will wait for reviews and a sale if I ever pick this up.

Looks great. I only played ME1 for few hours many years ago so these will be new for me. I have been thinking about continuing so good that they are remastering these.

Yeah, the updated ending is the only good part of ME3 now along with the multiplayer.

Man that trailer ................. that music. I have always had a love/hate relationship with this franchise (especially after the way they wrapped the franchise up). But that trailer fuck it makes me want to buy the legendary version and I probably am.

Will eventually buy it even if it's just a basic upres. Love this franchise and there's hasn't been anything quite like it since.
Hopefully you can download and play them 1 at a time to not have 120gb occupied on this at all times.
Yeah saw this in some video posted earlier.
Went from some apocalyptic end of the world vibe to a nice sunny day WTF.
Makes me wonder how many other weird changes like this are in the game. Where they "updated" it to look nicer while completely missing the point of the art direction

Seems like ea is putting the work into this and not rushing it out for some quick bucks. Fair play to them, can't wait to replay it all. Hopefully dead space will follow along with part 4.
I think the new game is going of this ending via the destroy ending. Shepard will probably be brought back.. again, like at the start of 2. Much in the future though.

Honestly, I think the reason they changed it is because a lot of people simply missed the 'ship' during the first mission. Sounds crazy, I know, but that's how it is. I also missed it on my first playthrough, and after looking at many people reacting to the game in playthroughs, most of them missed it.
Adding the sun right next to the giant bug-thing will likely make people look more in that direction, to make sure they see it.

So much for the latest "leaked" date of March 12th....hell even April 23rd was a possible date, but MAY?! Wasn't this going to originally be released in Oct/Nov, but then they pushed it back? How much more work do they need to do on it? It's not exactly a 6-parter, you'd think they were re-building the entire trilogy from scratch...

I guess that could be the case.
Though surely there was a way to do so while maintaining the gloomy vibe

Day 1 I guess for me - if it has a 1080p 60 fps mode on the PS4pro at least (not holding my breath to get my hands on a PS5 until then).

These seem kinda high considering the recommended specs for M3 were:
OS - Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1, Win 7
CPU - 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (equivalent AMD CPU)
RAM - 2GB for XP / 4GB RAM for Vista/Win 7
Disc Drive - 1x speed
Hard Drive - 15 GB of free space
Video - AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB or greater, NVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB or greater
Sound - DirectX 9.0c compatible
I'm not seeing that big of a visual upgrade.

This is crap. They completely changed the mood of that scene and the lens flares are stupidI always loved ME1's more central and zoomed out camera. Sadly it looks like they're using 2 & 3's style now

Where are you seeing that? Oh, is that the thing on there showing a 17% discount for owners of Mass Effect 3 on Steam? Lame.

Especially looking forward to the Citadel in remastered ME1, should be a nice place to walk around. Scanning those keepers should be fun again.
But most likely I'll get it on a discount sometime later in the future. I already spend a lot of money on this franchise, and the memory of 2 and 3 is still very fresh to be nostalgic about replaying it.

I guess I'm in the minority when I say it's an improvement. Never much liked that Doomsday red sky, and this actually works better knowingwtf is this shit
the Reaper invasions in ME3 don't cause sudden dramatic changes in the atmosphere.
It's just my opinion though there's really no need to spread it around.

I'm generally anti-remaster - make something new ffs, but I may make an exception for this. One of my all time favourite series...

This is a day 1 for me but I have to nitpick - the art direction in the first shot looks better to me. I hope they don't go for overly realistic colour schemes (they will) replacing more colourful and contrasty 'drama' style colour.

The umbra visor? You'll get it in ME2 this time? (Maybe even ME1?) Nice. It was only available for PC players in ME2 that I know of. I loved wearing it in ME3.
