Commander Shepard: Original Versus Mass Effect Legendary Edition Comparison

Mass Effect on twitter:

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite Commander Shepard on the...wait a minute.

Charal1575d ago

I’m not fan at all at the remaster results on these pictures.
General feeling is much more artificial vs original, especially male Shepard eyes that recall bad memories from Andromeda, and super glossy female Shepard skin that looks like she had some poor plastic surgery.

I’m not 100% sold so far in this remaster, especially considering that animations will not be reworked if I understood correctly, which was kind of a week spot especially in the first ME, and that mods for original trilogy already provide significant textures and lightning improvements.

Stanjara1575d ago

Yeah me too, I read the text in the article: changes are startling.

I don't see it. They are remasters...sure, but startling?

Shadow of colossus was startling...that's a remake but still...that's wow.

This is good for someone new who didn't play the game ...or games.

Also it is censured in some parts...which is stupid.

It’s a fantastic series, but you might be better off playing the originals on a newer console or PC

TallDarknWavy1573d ago

Why is Shephard wearing dark eyeliner or mascara? Did he turn goth? Looks dumb.

BiofourceGun1574d ago (Edited 1574d ago )

Remastered version has 3D neck depth for the suit. on top of better material shaders.
old (looks like a head standing on a torso bust)

new (neck depth looks more natural)

The faces are a huge upgrade and less plastic. Definitely has more life to it now.

The older versions look like mannequins.

njitram20001574d ago

The old faces have a certain look to them that screams "original mass effect" at me. They look like shit but the new ones do not invoke any nostagia in me.

Animations play a direct roll in game mechanics. They’re hard to change without changing the overall feel of the game.

The faces just dont look right.. feels like a fan remaster. Specially the female shepard plain looks bad

Pughski1574d ago

I love ME 1-3. I'm buying it regardless.

CobraKai1574d ago (Edited 1574d ago )

Same here. Slight censorship aside, I’m excited for this remaster (not remake to those expecting a 100% overhaul). This was my favorite game series on 360. Despite the texture pop in and glitchy graphics, ME had some gorgeous graphics.
Now show more Liara Tsoni action.

PrimeVinister1574d ago

Shepherd still has the double-eyelash gene that makes him look like he is permanently wearing mascara.

Maybe he is related to Liz Taylor, I must check the lore.

Knushwood Butt1574d ago

I got more rhymes than water seen by a sailor.
More than husbands of Elizabeth Taylor.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast173d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine173d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast173d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman173d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast173d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman172d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave421d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan421d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave421d ago (Edited 421d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
