BioWare has released an official comparison video for Mass Effect Legendary Edition, placing scenes from the upcoming remaster alongside the original trilogy — and the difference is night and day in most cases. As previously stated by the developer, it's the first Mass Effect that's received the most noticeable overhaul, both in terms of gameplay and visuals. The latter is clear to see in this new trailer.
But there are still loads of improvements to look forward to across all three games. Character models, textures, and environments have been reworked. What's more, lighting effects have been significantly improved. You can read all about the numerous changes in BioWare's latest blogpost.
At the end of the day, only so much can be done when remastering PS3-era titles — but we think that Legendary Edition is looking like a very promising package. Are you excited to jump back into the Mass Effect trilogy? Don your N7 armour in the comments section below.

Wow, it’s actually looking like a proper remaster. I think I probably remember PS3 games looking better than they actually do.
Mainly just looks lighter to me, but I’m watching on my phone. Sure it’ll be better on a big 4K screen with HDR...Still a shame about the camera edits though.
@nessisonett Same here. It's rose tinted glasses for sure!
As someone who has never played mass effect before.... I’m highly looking forward to playing this.
Remaster looks amazing.
My girl Tali is looking great.
I can't wait to jump back in and make the exact same decisions I made 10 years ago
The little things definitely add up for a great looking remaster.
I do hope we dont get the usual it doesnt look any better talk we get with most remasters
Can't wait to play though the trilogy again!
That change to the Citadel in ME1 is amazing
WoW that is some serious update. How long for the usual “the graphic update ruins the original feeling of the game” article to appear somewhere online?
Anyone know if its a 4k 60, 1080 60, or 4k 30?
I've hopped into the Mass Effect Series before, but this new edition might get me to.
Yes, sir. Looking fine. Damn fine. One of my favorite series of all time, containing one of my favorite games of all time (ME2). One more month...
I really enjoyed the original 3 save for the 3rds ending. However Andromeda left such a bad taste in my mouth I can't even go back to the originals.
Sold! well I was already sold but I'm double sold now!
Looks like a solid upgrade. Played 2 and 3 to death, but this will be my first dance with the original. Can't wait!
Why is Bioware marketing hiding White Male Shep from any Legendary Edition promotions? So weird to me, its like they're ashamed. He used to be on the freaking game covers. Such a different studio now
Wake up console plebs. The gane wont look like this on your PS4.
What is meant in the article by 'At the end of the day, only so much can be done when remastering PS3-era titles'?
One month to go. With this, I won't need a PS5 until they're in stock at Wallmart or Costco. Asked about one last time I was there and they're saying Black Friday now.
I can tell the new version is better, but honestly I think it's a bit of a waste of time and money. The differences aren't that meaningful to me. But to each their own.
sigh like i said, single-player gamers have had it good for a while. the mass effect trilogy is amazing and what they're doing with it is really a treat. what's next , a bioshock remaster ? wait...
I can tell the difference side by side, but in all honesty, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed if you didn’t tell me. The remaster just looks like how I REMEMBER the original looking. But any excuse to play the ME trilogy again is fine by me...
It's all about the return of the greatest intergalactic bromance since Spock and Kirk....
the boys, Shep and Garrus!!!
@Gavin_Newsom If they wanted to hide him they would just remove him from the game, that would be real easy to do but he's still there so I don't see the problem.
@Jayslow
Holding Kaidan is truly believing there's joy in repetition.
@Juanalf Im not sure you understood what I wrote. I was writing about the games marketing not including him, and the question why.
Damn this looks so good!
Hopefully this remaster will rekindle that BioWare spark that's been missing from it's recent games for fans and the devs alike. This is my favorite franchise of all time along with Resident Evil. I want to see BioWare beat the odds and get some positive spin and press and hopefully use that momentum and put it into the next Dragon Age and Mass Effect!
I was already sold before this trailer, but def buying now.
Still on fence about day one/full price though.
