To me, that's a very disappointing design decision.
I hope the devs could bring the original view back.
Part of me doesn't hate it. The other part of me thinks it is an odd aesthetic choice. However it doesn't ruin the experience.
It doesn't seem like an intentional design decision. I think the AI upscaler (or whatever the tech they used was called) just upped the brightness and look on the haze that was already on Illium. I'm sure they didn't intend for the views on Illium to be covered in white, especially with it being the prime photo mode location.
Agreed. This is a total mess and needs to be patched. Illium is one of the prettiest planets in the series and it doesn't make sense to turn it into budget Blade Runner. It's even weirder, because through the window next to the ship dock you can see the Normandy with no clouds around it, so the fog isn't everywhere. Makes me think this may have been a mistake. Hands down one of my favorite planets to go to, ruined.
I'm not normally one to throw a fit over minor design changes to the lighting, but this fundamentally alters a major area. This is enough to make the remaster not worth playing. It fully changes one of the most inviting places in the series.
The fog must go!
My thoughts exactly, it throws off the tone of all the scenes in the main area.
I just got to Illium, it is shockingly bad. If it was a few wispy clouds that floated on by, and you could still see the vista between them, that would be cool, but this is just a big ugly cloud that seems specifically designed to block the view. I hate it so much.
Same with on Sinmara. The fog effects are turned up to infinity
The upscaled backdrops can look really bad in some places. It might be trying to disguise the blurry mess that is the upscaled background texture.
That's what you get for not constructing your backgrounds with actual geometry.
I'm agreed with that too. Supposedly the LE reiterate the same experience as the original trilogy but in better, i remembered when i went to Illium the first time i was just amazed by this incredible vista. I think now the new players won't have the same experience...
