Mass Effect Legendary Edition will contain more than 40 pieces of DLC when it releases on PlayStation 4 in May, but the Pinnacle Station expansion for the first entry won’t be part of the long list. This is because the Demiurge Studios support team was the one who put it together during the PlayStation 3 generation and the data BioWare received when requesting it for the remastered collection was almost completely corrupt. . The RPG developer claims that he wanted to include Pinnacle Station in his plans for the full remastering of Mass Effect, but the situation fell out of his control.
In an interview with Game Informer, game director Mac Walters expanded the situation. He says that since the original code was no longer properly accessible, the team would have to completely redo the DLC from scratch to include it. “It would basically take six more months to do it with most of the team we have. I wish I could do it. Honestly, just so that’s all the team has ever created, he put it back together – All the content of a single player. And so, leaving everything on the floor of the cutting room, it was groundbreaking. “
Pinnacle Station was essentially a battle arena located in a secret Alliance space station that consisted of 13 different challenges. With about three hours of play, there was no story-related content. Instead of unlocking powerful weapons to use in the main game.
It is clear then that BioWare did its best to include Pinnacle Station in its plans, but delaying the project by six months was not possible. Still, there’s more than 100 hours of content to experience as part of Mass Effect Legendary Edition, so it’s not the end of the world. The remastered collection will feature gameplay updates including “improved aim and balance of weapons, sound effects, better Mako controls, input / control controls, staff behavior, coverage behavior, and game “, plus 60 frames per second on PlayStation 5 and PS4 Pro. Upload times will also be much shorter and an extended character creator will allow you to tailor Shepard to your individual needs.
