What would you react if the next "Mass Effect" had the same color palette as the original unremaster

I rather they didn't. Mass Effect 1 out of the three styles felt the most bland to me and doesn't stand out from other games. Mass Effect 2 & 3 felt the most unique and when seeing a screenshot of the game no matter what it is I could tell you that its Mass Effect 2 & 3.

Are you me? Yeah ME1 is more like those 70's morning cartoon/longing for the utopian future style of Syd Mead ( which they .. borrowed nicely and I loved it). It has those mystic-retro-scifi camera angles from time to time, great film grain (larger blurrier grains, not 1x1px), and The Arc everywhere. MEA is the successor of the style, and actually expands on it very very stylishly in most of the cases. All the tones are there for colors, and like 1 it doesn't "choke" on the contrast. There is even great looking monitor/tv enabling HDR mode in it - and it looks awesome.

Then ME2 and 3 are almost like from different universe, and I have said this before; 2 is way too dark contrasty, so much it almost hurts my eyes like DA2 sometimes does. Hues are wrong in the dark, gradients explode to multiple colours instead of smooth transitions. It is good in the other visual department inside ME universe, meaning new objects and Citadel areas looking more Blade Runner and showing us new places and architectures. 3rd is.. well better in the tone than 2nd but still not as good as 1 and Andromeda. Too much red or blue in your face all the time, but I guess that was really what they wanted to push. Also somehow looks a bit worse from time to time than 2nd because of higher res textures but not so much advancement in the meshes themselves.

Anyway just thinking out loud All of the game looks have their places, I just dont think two of them are on the same level than 1 and A are in my aesthetics meter but also not saying they look bad - not at all (except that high dark in 2nd is near).

Now I'm talking about not remastered versions of OT. Remastered versions "fixes" had mostly gone to ME1LE and some of it was hit (bring the highlight full white clip area down a bit in size for example in bit more layman terms so to say (argh)), some was miss (some of the heavy tonal changes from what most of us had been used to in ME1) - mostly good. I did not much notice changes in 2LE as I was bored, played it through (oh no termbaby ) and 3LE I just played to Mars and I think I stopped at that point, wasnt so bored and uninstalled them from PS5. I recently played ME1 though.

EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot - If next ME would have same color palette as ME1 would, yeah definately why not. There were a lot of colors in that palette

ekalle lauseelle - yep I just had big mug of coffee and was on a break.

The arc of Mass Effect: How one shape helped give a franchise its look has some nice info too.

Really? ME1 felt cartoonish? I never had that impression. I thought back in the day it looked pretty "realistic", especially the faces. Never really got a cartoon vibe from it. Classic scifi (Star Trek, Babylon 5, etc.) sure but cartoons? Not really.

IMO, ME2 then fell a little too much into the typical trap of it's time (around 2010) when everything became more dull and brown/grey-ish because it needed to be more "edgy". While the graphics quality certainly made a big jump in ME2, I never appreciated that, always liked the more diverse color palette of ME1 better.

ME3 then did a pretty good job of mixing it up again by giving each mission it's unique color scheme and thus showing a lot of variety between the missions. I still enjoy just looking through the thumbnails of my ME3 screenshot gallery, because there, you can really appreciate how much the general color scheme of the game changes on each planet/location you visit.

Ahhh that's what you meant by the Arc. I remember reading about it. It's a great overall concept and I like all the sweeping arcs. 

Agreed, Ryder and co were very realistically annoying. 

Shepard was ripped out of a 80's science fiction action movie, complete with cringe worthy one liners.

Ryder and Co were ripped out of a cartoon's TV show.

So really, none are good examples.

Graphically it did yes at least to me Rest o fthe gasme w solid enough though. Remastered ME1 was much better graphically though.

Always something isnt it I really love that they are feeling alive compared to previous games, where they are silent etc.

I think they both did the same actually, and no it wasnt meaningless chatter in either and felt much more organic in MEA because ... they talked more with each other. Note I am not putting down the ME3 aspect at all, because it started there (and much before those in DA).

Sidenote: I dont remember when I played ME3 through the last time, as it isnt my favourite to play, meaning I do not necessarily remember properly the conversations happening on the ship. Videos to the rescue
