Still, while Mass Effect: Legendary Edition isnвЂ™t quite the giant leap that fans might have hoped forВ - that will likely have to wait until the announced-but-still-untitled Mass Effect 4 is ready for release - itвЂ™s also much more than your typical remaster. Some substantial changes are coming to the trilogy, particularly the original game. If thereвЂ™s one word to associate with Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, it would probably be вЂњpragmaticвЂќ - a response, perhaps, to BioWareвЂ™s recent history of having some of its wilder ambitions backfire spectacularly.

ItвЂ™s a collection that definitely makes some measurable improvements to the original games, but fights to keep its ambitions restrained and practical.

We knew at that point that weвЂ™d really sort of start to take away the essence and spirit of what the trilogy was.вЂќД«ioWareвЂ™s decision not to use Unreal Engine 4 is emblematic of its approach to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, which aims to modernize the trilogy for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC without completely rebuilding it. вЂњA really crisp example of that would be if you look at the Kismit scripting language, itвЂ™s a visual scripting language from, thereвЂ™s no real copy-paste for that to go into Unreal Engine 4, meaning that every moment, every sceneвЂ¦ everything would have had to essentially be redone from scratch.

вЂњt very quickly became clear that level of jump would really change fundamentally what the series was how it felt, how it played,вЂќ Director Mac Walters told IGN. The possibilities were tantalizing - Unreal Engine 4 is a substantial step up from its predecessor - but ultimately BioWare opted to stick with the Unreal Engine 3 that underpinned the trilogy from its debut in 2007. The team wanted to know if it would be feasible to use Unreal Engine 4 for the remasters, in effect rebuilding Mass Effect on modern technology.

When work was first getting underway on Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, the new remastered collection due in May, BioWare had a conversation with Epic, creators of the Unreal Engine that Mass Effect 1-3 were built on.
