Here's one bit of good news for Mass Effect: modders are bringing the multiplayer mode to Mass Effect Legendary Edition

1 Share

When Mass Effect 3's beloved multiplayer mode was left out of the Legendary Edition, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Redemption has finally come in the form of the ME3Tweaks modding team, who have spent the last three years quietly working to not only get multiplayer working, but improve it.

"It's not just a ME3MP port but rather an extensive remaster of the experience," says modder Audemus. "This includes new features like bringing forward LE's native features like controller support/HDR, overhauled UI, rebaked level lighting, upscaled/redrawn textures, upgraded shaders, improved networking/server replication, extensive bug fixes, new gameplay modes, and a stable format for future mod support and easy installation/compatibility."

They're even adding new game modes, like one called "Unified" that combines enemies from multiple factions, and letting players either join ME3Tweaks' server, or set up their own private servers.

The ME3Tweaks team are the same modders who previously revived and revised the Pinnacle Station expansion, a lost DLC for the original Mass Effect that was also left out of the Legendary Edition. They're planning to release the multiplayer mod on N7 Day, which is also when composer Sam Hulick plans to release a re-scored version of the leaked Mass Effect Universe trailer.

Footage of what sure looks like a Persona 1 remake has leaked

1 Share

Persona tragics have been begging for remakes of the first two games in the series for ages (at least, the ones who aren't begging for remakes of the PS2-era Shin Megami Tensei games instead). After thoroughly milking Persona 4 and 5, series producer Kazuhisa Wada said in August, "personally, I think it's something we should definitely do."

Now, almost two minutes of footage from what sure looks like a Persona 1 remake has leaked via the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. It shows some dungeon exploration, typically flashy combat, and a dialogue scene all in the modern Persona style.

Oddly, Tatsuya from Persona 2 is one of the party members, though it's possible this is a cross-promotional skin you can equip. Or maybe the remakes will incorporate some kind of Persona Q-style crossover?

While it's fair to be suspicious this could be AI-generated footage, it seems both a bit too long and too internally consistent for that to be the case. And it's not like Atlus hasn't got form, given that we found out the Persona 3 remake was real via a leak as well.

Fable Is Ditching the One Feature That Made Fable 3 An Instant Classic

1 Share

The original Fable checked all of the boxes of a good fairy tale: a classic good-versus-evil tale set in a high-fantasy version of Fake Britain. You played as a hero (literally, the “Hero of Oakvale”) fighting against a guy who considered burning down villages his idea of a good time. Fable’s big innovation lay in its morality system: Depending on your actions, the hero’s appearance would change (ex: you’d grow devil horns if you were evil), as would the way the citizens of Albion would react to him. Just like the main characters of stories like Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and other quintessential fairy tales, you were consigned to live with the consequences of your actions — good or bad.
