![]() ![]() The original game was replete with bugs and framerate issues, and the human characters had glassy eyes that made them look like aliens. And with all three games being unified in one release, BioWare had to be careful about making wholesale changes to elements like animation, calling it a “house of cards that could affect every character across the game.” Rebuilding the Original Mass EffectThe somewhat ramshackle nature of the original trilogy’s development is most evident in the original Mass Effect, which was first released on Xbox 360 all the way back in 2007. Walters likens it to restoring a beautiful, beloved car that’s been buried in concrete, with the team constantly uncovering proprietary tools written specifically for one version of another.
