The original Mass Effect trilogy remastered for current consoles
Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is a particularly exciting
prospect for those who previously weren’t gaming during the Xbox 360 or PS3
era. The three-game compilation may only be releasing on last-gen consoles (PS4
and Xbox One), but the entire trilogy will benefit from enhanced visuals and mechanics,
being bundled with all previously released DLC content. EA has stated that the
goal is not to “remake or reimagine” the Mass Effect trilogy, but to present
the original games in the best light possible. They most certainly look to be
doing that judging by everything we’ve seen so far. f
Many veteran Mass Effect players malign having to control
the Mako vehicle in the first game, for example, so EA are taking the time to
adjust how it handles. It’ll be smoother than ever thanks to a modernized
button layout. This is just one case of how the original game is being improved
alongside the two sequels. For all these reasons and more, Mass Effect:
Legendary Edition will be a worthwhile pick-up for newcomers and existing fans.
