      Tldr: you can't easily see the difference between x polygons and 8x polygons if x is already really big.
      Yea but it's also expected. I could go into detail, but the gist is that you see diminishing returns in "quality" as you keep doubling the number of polygons.
      32 polygons will look much better than 16, 64 will look much better than 32, but at some point, you will have difficulty to tell the difference between one and another. Being able to "tell the difference" is also made harder when you introduce lighting, motion, texture on polygons, etc.
      The newest console generation is also very recent, so devs have not made optimizations you see on mature platforms. This is also why new console games/generations only look a little bit better than the last games/generation.

    The only problem with the lighting in the new version is it's a little too flat. The original games were going for a film look. The dramatic lighting helps with that. Improving the dimensions of the light would've probably worked better than lighting everything up and making it look more flat.

      I prefer originals Instead of remasters most of the time , I don't like how remasters smooth over or sharpen everything within a game and make everything lose It's character In an effort to visually try and keep up or adapt to the times and force the design to work In a way It wasn't Intended to , It ends up looking generic. Remakes are the only thing I like and only when they're done right which Is extremely rare.

      I can understand where that sentiment is coming from, but I never felt that way, especially with ME1, and to a degree am with ME2 (just started it last night with imported Shepard).
      I honestly feel like these are a step up from what I remember. How MUCH of a step up is obviously debatable. But the original games had the benefit of having great art styles that, I think, aged well. Having the enhanced lighting ALONE makes these games look that much better, with the way ambient lights and shadows interact with characters now

    I like that everything looks sharper, but SOME minor moments do look better in the original. Like walking through the decompressed/blown-apart segment to reach Joker, looks better in the original with the hazy/darker visuals that makes it really feel like you're wading through destruction. While in the Legendary Edition it just looks...too clean/perfect (3:25) and slightly makes the scene feel less intense. While in the original that dark and hazy field of view gave a more claustrophobic feeling of urgency. Yet in the remaster it seems more serene and peaceful and makes me wanna stop and just stare at all the little details, rather than having any kind of sense of "THIS SHIP IS COMING APART! GOTTA SAVE JOKER!".

    Overall I like the better textures, smooth framerate and gameplay changes they presented so far, but man... based on the footage we've seen so far, in my opinion the atmosphere just looks better in the original games. They're sterilizing all the grittyness and darkness. The shuttle ride at the end of this video is a good example. I always assumed the deep contrast and strong silhouettes were an artistic choice and made the scene more cinematic and added a cool scifi atmosphere, but the new footage just looks lighter and less 'pronounced', which makes this scene more generic. I'll probably still buy, because I love this trilogy, but I'm a little bit concerned about the visual changes
