Mass Effect 5 Will Maintain the “Mature Tone” of the Original Trilogy and Feature Photorealistic Visuals, Project Director at BioWare Says

[Tsing]

Mass Effect 5 (or Mass Effect 4, for players who don't consider Mass Effect: Andromeda to be a part of the mainline series) will not only maintain the mature tone of the original trilogy, which comprises Mass Effect (2007), Mass Effect 2 (2010), and Mass Effect 3 (2012), but also photorealistic visuals, according to the latest word from Michael Gamble, project director and executive producer at BioWare.

Please dont worry about photorealism too much or you go uncanny valley.

I don't think the uncanny valley is a thing for graphics, only robots.

Either way it's not the graphics I'm worried about, it is the writing.

I read the 'photorealistic visuals' as their way of saying 'not Dragon Age: Veilguard style'.

Graphics are somewhat of a priority for me but if the writing is crap it doesn't matter. I think we're at a point where most AAA studios have the resources for both but it comes down to the decision-making from the top. We can all note on who has left over the years but it doesn't matter if you do have a good team if those in charge don't understand their fanbase.
