While they may seem different, they actually have a much bigger impact on the character than you might think. If you're interested in learning more, we have a full breakdown of the major ways her small improvements impact the game and her story arc, in particular.
While the biggest changes to the trilogy arguably impact the first game the most, that doesn't mean Mass Effect 2 and 3 were left out in the dust. "We also improved all cinematics across the trilogy," says BioWare community manager Jay Ingram in the latest PlayStation Blog post. "Whenever possible, we completely re-rendered the pre-rendered cutscenes in 4K. When it was not possible to re-capture, we utilized an AI upscale program on the original uncompressed videos. In both workflows, we tweaked the color correction, added or composited additional details and visual effects, and even smoothed out some edges frame-by-frame, so they didn’t feel dated when compared to actual gameplay. Cinematic designers fixed dozens, if not hundreds, of bugs that occurred in live-action cutscenes and conversations. Don’t worry, though; the “What’d you just say?” head-spinning meme still exists if you know how to look for it."
