I think they did make some changes. Like taking out walls that made you walk around because they couldn't render everything at the same time. Certainly the load times will be massively quicker. I think they did update the control too.
Hope the planet scan can be faster too. It was the reason I did not play ME2 the 2nd time.
Join the party. I bought this trilogy originally on the 360. Then on the Playstation 4. Then on the PC. Modded it out on the PC over a dozen times. Then I will be buying the remaster.
Also beat the game over a dozen times.
At this point I could play Mass Effect in my sleep. I also quote the game IRL quite often.
I hope they do this for dragon age as well, would love to get to play the whole series, have played some of the older ones on my One x but they look awful by today's standards so I'm hopeful we'll get something with better textures at least at some point.

This game didn't get any PS5 or XSX specific upgrades, it's running in BC mode. There is no PS5 or XSX version to buy you can only buy it for PS4/X1 that's why there is that 120hz option on the Series X and not PS5.
Well that isn't really true. On the XSX you get 120Htz which is an XSX upgrade. It also has vastly faster load tiimes which again is a staple of this gen.
Let me put it a different way, the developers didn't add anything next gen to this game, these are PS4 and Xbox One games running on the new machines, any "improvement" comes from the BC solution by each company. MS's approach for BC is more open than Sony's so it allows old games to have access to more of the consoles "power" but they didn't go in and actively change anything for PS5 or XSX.

Typical EA putting in the least amount of work and not making next gen versions
Doesn't matter. Vastly improved load times and 120Htz are next gen features. So they clearly did add next gen features. The clearly actively worked on both or load times wouldn't be as low and are on par with all the other "next gen" versions of last gen games. Same goes for 120Htz.
So playing RDR2 on PS5/XSX has next gen features because they load faster than PS4/X1? My external SSD shaved a few seconds off of RDR2 on my PS4 Pro, did that make it a next gen feature? Bioware did not go in and add anything, the up to 120hz is just because they didn't lock the framerate and the XSX let's them (BC games) access more of the console's power than Sony's BC solution does. These are old gen games running through BC, you can call it whatever you want .
No. It is how much faster it loads that shows the effort put forward.
I'm not calling it anything. 120Htz is a next gen feature as is massively reduced loading times. It isn't debateable. Sitting there saying they didn't put any next gen features in means you render 90% of next gen versions as not next gen versions.
By being only on Xbox One and PS4. How can it next gen without being next gen?
Maybe but I don't really care about the console war comparisons. EA shouldn't be releasing last gen only games in 2021.
A duck for a f***, a f*** for a duck, and twenty five bucks for a f***ed up duck.
