Game needs a remake not a remaster.

I don't really agree. The main problem with Mass Effect 2 for PC was all the bugs, and now they are fixed. Another problem was no support for wide screen, 120hz, or controller support. Fixed. That's already a lot of fixes. Add new textures and voila, a game that can last fine for another 10 years. Not that I wouldn't have loved a remake :)

Timing is perfect right before the next gen deluge. This is my most anticipated game this year, to be honest. I can't wait. SO MANY FIXES for playing on PC in particular, combined with SO MANY visual improvements for console, so there's something for everyone.

Is it nothing but HDR and a resolution bump? If so, that's a hard pass for me.

There is A.I Texture upscaling which makes a difference.
The first game received the bulk of the focus. I.E. Had some geometry removed/updated in order to improve level layouts, enhanced lighting and had it's graphics more in line with the later games plus.
