Will/should EA dust off that remastered trilogy idea?

I'm sure it's in the works too.

Really? I'll bite. Post the Google search string which proves your case.

Which string? If you can claim the internet was super negative to MEA before and after the game was out, this cannot? I don't know about you, but when I can, I look up to other places too than BSN since the same is worthless to gather anything, one side is incredibly biased and the other hyperbolic towards the game and anything else. The loudest places were Reddit and Gaf and then Youtube. I remember lots of people wanting a remaster announcement for the last N7 Day and being disappointed by it in the end, somewhat - since the trilogy got playable for Xbox owners, a heavily requested thing in that community alone.

And now, with the cancellation for a sequel, people are demanding that remaster even more, the more logical bunch of those people associate that with the potential increase interest for a new ME game once its out, as well as introducing those who never played the series before to much bette games than the turd that was MEA. A common response in those three places I mentioned.

But I'm sure you're going to bury your head inside your butt and pretend this ain't happening by any means.

How many times is so many times?
I have a lot of incentive. I play it on my ps4 I would get 3 more platinum trophies. excellent
Depends on what is done. I might like it. I might not.

And as far as I'm aware there isn't confirmation for there being a sequel either. I think it'll be a wait and see on how well Anthem performs. There not going to slow down on Dragon Age which I believe is their new flagship.

Okay thorough analysis of crying neckbeards, reddit, etc. then. got it. I thinka  remaster would be cool, but given one over the other I'd rather have a sequel and a new story that continues in Andromeda--that's obviously better executed than this game was of course.

For asking proof?

This order:
-During A/DA4 process, release HD console remaster, with tweaks and all DLC (late 2010s)
-Another Mass Effect game, sequel to Andromeda in some sense (early 2020s)
-MET remake (mid 2020s)
-Another Mass Effect game, either totally new or conclusion to whatever we'd call Andromeda arc (late 2020s)

Probably not going to happen, but I'd support this process. I don't think its time for a full trilogy remake, but I don't think it should be so much trouble (though it might be; I don't have the numbers and info) to repackage the trilogy, perhaps leading into a game later on that may on one hand be a continuation of what Andromeda started, but perhaps more overtly connect to the trilogy if at the very least to trigger those member berries.

And if both those things work out, then we get another sixth game in later 2020s, and perhaps a MET remake if the demand is there. But not now.



Or, of course the whole franchise is dead yadda yadda.



A remaster can be as simple as better audio and video graphics for the purpose of playing on a newer console (PS4/Pro, XB1/X). Ideally, yeah, it'd have redone parts, much better controls and animations, etc, but it doesn't have to. It strikes at people's nostalgia, and gauges interest for something more. A remake instead is a more deliberate thing that is more of an statement of knowledge that people want more, but they'd just prefer to trigger that nostalgia first for now.

I have no problem with imagining that a trilogy remaster happens before any future new game.

A 'remaster' in Frostbite wouldn't be a remaster, but a remake. Too drastic of a change, down to the core. There's no way they would keep the content so untouched when doing an engine (and majority of assets) switch.

Well, certainly not mikefest-level repeat plays but I'm pretty sure I've played the first game (completionist) runs several times, ME2 about as much in the end, and ME3 on a regular basis for years. I would sometimes start a new game of ME3 immediately after completing a run. I've essentially burned myself out on the original trilogy, which is part of the reason a remaster or whatever holds little value. A reboot may be of interest since it would have new dialogue and combat, but if we're going to do that, I'd rather everything just be new. The last thing I want is for the franchise to be in some kind of death loop game of telephone, where the timeline keeps resetting and repeating with the story being a little different each time.

I was never really big on trophies/achievements so that wouldn't sell me much. I'd be more interested in being able to consolidate my library onto a single system, but Mass Effect isn't the only games of particularly high value that I'm holding on to, so basically the MET is being held hostage by Dragon Age. 

Because a drastic engine change would require all the models to be built from scratch.

That's... I can't even answer that, its so funny to read.
