Look. I know a lot of people turn their heads when they hear about this idea but in my opinion that could really benefit Mass Effect.
A lot of people hated Andromeda and some people loved it. The game wasn't awful but liking it or not the IP is not in a good place after Andromeda. But a lot of people loved the trilogy and if the interest was huge and the numbers were big with a trilogy remaster that means we could see more of Mass Effect sooner than expected.
Bioware main projects wouldn't be affected by this because the remaster could be easily outsourced to a studio experienced with this kind of thing and it would probably put the franchise on the map again.

Why a remaster when the MET is backward compatible? I find it pointless personally.

Could be, but:
A. What lessons will EA take from it if it does well? B. Since remasters usually don't seem to do that well, and for many people are probably uneeded, will they actually...you know...sell? C. And that doesen't even touch on the ending for ME 3 is the ending to ME 3 and will not be changed. And since the ending to ME 3 is what damaged the reputation of the trilogy in the first place...

Why a remaster when the MET is backward compatible? I find it pointless personally. Mass Effect is one part action, one part story. Frostbite delivers so much more than the original trilogy. OH MY GOODNESS. Also, it would need to be Mass Effect 1.1 or something similar to fix all the story line issues and completely avoid the last weird 15 minutes with Starchild and replace it with an ending that doesn't use storyboards like Fallout does. I would love to see it re-mastered in Frostbite. All the old stuff (tactical pausing for single player, paragon-renegade, etc.) while seeing the Frostbite canvas. All the assets (all of them!) are then in place and allows for more flexibility in adding new content later. If I was EA's CEO, that's how I would do it. It would be Mass Effect 1.1 with each title including all the OLD DLC pertinent to each one for $75. If you spend $200 up front... all three titles with 50% coupon for NEW DLC. If I were EA's CEO, Montreal would have slave collars attached pumping out Mass Effect Andromeda DLC right now. That's me. I'm just kidding about the slave collars from Fallout. No... I'd just pay better and keep everyone at their desks because their eager to express their art instead of doing it because it's a job. I'm not idealistic either. Only a sociopath would disagree with me.

I find remasters to be a waste of money tbh, all you do is give the graphics a slight update. I think the OT would benefit from a remake as it would be a way to improve on the games flaws whilst also staying true to the source material. (I honestly think that if there was an ME2 remake, you find out in a side quest after LoTSB that the Liara that you met was a different asari altogether. The reason I say this is because it seems several people, myself included, were perplexed by Liara's change of character in the later games.)

The ME trilogy held up well over the years as a whole, but it's well reached into that point where it's really showing its age. ME1's gameplay mechanics are downright primitive when stacked against any proper shooter made today. With aging gameplay, a disjointed overarching narrative and an ending that remains troublesome even after its huge patchwork, I don't think this would benefit the IP as much as some might believe.

As long as I can play my existing copies, I'm not too worried about getting a remaster. I think they should let ME be, for a while. There's blood in the water whenever BioWare releases anything, these days. I don't want to see ME get shredded anymore than it has been by its "fans". They can come back to it once the negativity and disappointment has cooled.

Yeah, I won't get rid of my PS3 until it melts into a shiny black puddle, and since my entire ME collection save Andromeda is loaded on it (along with the Collector's Edition of ME3), the whole idea of paying for the trilogy again is madness. I'd love more ME and wish something would come out soon, but now that they're huffing markers and making Anthem that's a long wait for a train don't come.

I think the ME trilogy would benefit from being put on Steam (or GOG) and not being bloody Origin exclusive, but c'est la vie.

EA doesn't want to pay the Steam Tax. Origin let's them keep 100% of the monies. I think the money they'd spend on a remaster would be better invested in new IPs.

A. What lessons will EA take from it if it does well? Once they remaster the trilogy, and if it sells well, they might tell you what lessons they learned Have remasters not sold well? What would the number need to be for it to sell well? What does the ending to ME3 have to do with a remaster?

I actually think it's the other way around. A remake adds things (story, characters etc, etc) while a remaster doesn't change any of the source material. They just update it for the modern era. Plus, I think METR only makes sense if each game is at least ten years old. Only ME1 would be that this year.

Technically speaking, a reboot has no continuity to the original game and is more of a reimagining of the story, characters, etc. I'd honestly be curious about a Mass Effect reboot that is a much harder sci-fi.

Agreed with your definition and it doesn't change the fact that I don't want anybody to reimagining the MET, I love it the way it is. What's the point really ? With those new ideas, why not creating a totally new super sci-fi game instead ? - Harder sci-fi ? I'm ok with this ! -
