Looks like an awesome upgrade! ME1 obvs changed the most, but ME2 and ME3 didn't need much more beyond textures and lighting passes. Have they confirmed or talked about frame rate yet? If they haven't mentioned 60fps in a trailer like this, I'm a bit worried.

They've said they're targeting 60fps on consoles. Hoping PC gets a bit farther than that.

Did they give the blue alien a boob job or is it just me? I guess they know their audience.

Looks good - the mako in the snowstorm scene looks like it was kind of unnecessarily altered, but appreciate have they have largely kept the art completely intact. This will look great at 4K60

ME1 gets a noticeable tech upgrade. Artistically, It's colour palette is quite a bit "warmer" than the original now. It's going to come down to personal taste as to which you prefer.

As you can in the Citadel footage, they implemented the closer camera from the sequels into ME1. I'm personally not a fan of this.

I kind of liked the less refined and more gritty look to Tali's helmet, but apart from that it all looks great.

Looks amazing! Most excited I've been for a remaster by a long shot. Also great timing being first year of a new gen with new games I care to buy and play few and far between.

Looking real good, so excited to jump back in. I actually stopped playing Outriders because it was just making me antsy to play through ME again.

I will say I much prefered the very stark, dark lighting of the Eden Prime dropship scene, though. At least the eyelashes aren't freaky looking now I guess.

I am not sure how I feel about some of the lighting changes - especially on Eden Prime. The red/orange color of the original seems almost non-existent, which is a bit disappointing.

Overall, it looks amazing - can't wait to play this on Series X!!

she has a name, thanks.
I really only remember Sheperd (duh) and Tali as names from this series...

Their audience cares more about what their sweat tastes like more than boobs or anything that basic lol.

Lol I hate that you're right.
I hate that this made me go back and check, but it really just looks like her model's better lit and has higher-definition textures this time out. No changes to the mesh itself.
The model is definitely different, there are creases around her breast now, which catch the shadows and make her breast stand out more. It's the equivalent of a boob armor. It was some kind of lab coat before, now it turned into a porn version of it.

One thing that I think will happen is that given the improvements to ME1, people will see more clearly just how awful some parts of the original were. Simply making the Mako feel "more like a tank and not a car that floats for some reason" and improving aiming ("making it hit where you aim") will be a major improvements.

Looks great, although I think the blizzard in the original looked better

Can't wait for this

This picture looks like what the devs thought in 2007 what they wanted Noveria to look like. And reading the blog post this is probably exactly what happened. Some (by some I mean virtually all of it) technical stuff goes right through me, but going back to original artworks to help in the process of the remaster is something that I can fully appreciate. And goes beyond a simple remater work.

I like them going back to original concept art and consulting with the trilogy's art director to achieve a "what it would look like if we had the tech" overhaul. Much more effort than I expected, tbh.

Some serious upgrades and I love it.

Do not love how much they changed about Liara, still very much Liara but it feels like the sexy model version of her vs the scientist version of her.

Damn they could've just played the music with a black screen and it would've worked just as well as an advertisement.

This remaster is turning out much better than I expected.

Still don't know if I'll buy this at launch, but I'm definitely going to pick it up at some point.

God damn I can't wait to sink all of my free time into this for like 2 months. I'm going to squeeze this collection dry!

I was actually planing to buy it since I hadn't played the original ones, but no support for my native languege (pt-br) for at least subtitles is a joke.
