Possibly the only thing in the original Mass Effect that whizzes by too fast for you as a player, then has in-game Shepard remarking on details that were supremely hard to catch, is the Commander's Prothean vision on Eden Prime.

For years fans have tried to analyse the available footage, trying to parse out Bioware's various zoomed in shots of mechanical components and fake blood, to see what the hell was going on.

Well, Reddit user Edrac realised they could use the newer console's screenshot commands to grab some stills during the sequence, resulting in an incredible shot of what looks like a Prothean city in its heyday.

Even better, all 8th and 9th gen systems let you easily grab this opening scene and export it. Scrubbing through in higher quality than ever before reveals shots of the Protheans being wiped out, the Reapers hanging above the city, and images of what look like defeated husks of other Protheans left behind.
