This guy made an amazing ENB graphics mod. Clicky

Here's a video with some footage of the mod running, This mod works with Mass Effect 1/2/3.

I've tried it on ME3 and it looks great, I'll try it on ME1.

Seems too dark. Even when raising the brightness in game. Enemies and details seem harder to see. Really cool for dialog scenes though.

Edit: Nvm I downloaded the gameplay mod. That is the one that needs more contrast. The Cinema mod is fine. Nice mod.

Welcome back, film grain.

So... uh... it makes the corners black?

Ok...

nahh they were already black...I still don't understand why they removed it, the framerate seems the same as it did in ME2....

We missed you, old pal.

It looks different but I can't say it looks better. There seems to be less colour contrast.

Well then I see no fucking difference... at all. Huh.

@Enigma777: There's better bloom and a subtle DOF effect.

Why the hell did they take it out in the first place? I miss it!

It still has them crappy textures!

I'm still baffled to why they took it out. I loved the film grain in ME1 and 2 :(

Just installed it, the film grain effect isn't as pronounced as it was in ME1 or ME2 imo, but I'm not the keenest of eye.

I have to be the only person on the earth who disliked the film grain.

As far as I can tell it's not there yet...it still hasn't achieved the granularity of the original effect. However, the enhancements to the lighting are a nice touch. It makes everything look more natural.

@137: I didn't like the film grain in ME1 and I turned it off halfway through. Turned it off in ME2 right when I booted up the game.

I personally feel it was thrown in due to the weak processing power of the xbox, not sure if there is an option to turn it on or off on the consoles. Things like anti aliasing and such are irrelevant when there is a light fuzz over all of the visuals.

I think that might be the point. More muted colors, but a higher contrast between lights and darks. Like an old science fiction film.

I didn't like it in ME1 at all. I thought it was way overdone and made the game too grainy. However, I think it was perfect in ME2 and I never turn it off in that game. I would welcome it in ME3 but I didn't really miss it when playing through it.

Hopefully someone is working on that. Mass Effect 1 has some of the best skyboxes and ME3's are super disappointing by comparison.

Yeah more film grain. What this game really needs is something to hide the graphics.

I turned off Film Grain in the first two game anyway. Did not like the way it looked at all.

'sup film grain off in ME1, film grain on in ME2 buddies, I'm happy to not be alone. ME3 PC needs it real bad, more so than anti-aliasing in the opinion of my eyes.

@SmasheControllers: Any word on if this worked with ME 1 and 2? ENBDEV didn't mention anything

@SmasheControllers: nvm, just clicked your clicky and did some reading. Thanks for the heads up!

I felt the same, in the first game it looked awful, but it did cover-up some of the uglies in the first. ME2 did it much better.

Seriously. Go load up ME1 and turn off film grain. They did a lot with a little by adding that single layer, otherwise the game just looks like generic sci-fi fare.

@Captain_Felafel: I know, awful. There's a texture mod that redoes most texture and makes the Film Grain look more like ME2's.

I guess it's good for those who want it but Mass Effect 3 already looks great and fuck film grain.

I've played at least 100 hours of each title, trust me I don't like film grain at all. Playing on a high end pc with everything cranked up granted the game is old but for 20 bucks and being made in 2007 I'm still pretty impressed. The last thing I'm doing in a gunfight while behind cover is saying "wow look at how the lense flare and film grain really bring out the immersion I feel while aiming with my sniper rifle and have it jump all over the place like I maxed out my michael j fox skill tree."

To anyone who wants to use this for ME3, you will have to disable the Origin overlay for the game, which means that you wont be able to play the MP with your Origin friends since you have to use the overlay to invite them to games as well as to accept invites. You can still play quick match, so you can still play MP, just not a private match with friends.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

<this post brought to you by CBSi>

They added more lens flares?

Cool?

The lens flares in ME3 are already annoying. Does the fucking Galaxy Map need to have it's own lens flare? Is that necessary?
