VentureBeat claims we're going to get a MET Remaster "Legendary Edition"

I know, but it sounds like it could be a good marketing strategy. What else is EA planning to release in the short term that could pack a similar punch? I can't think of a single title. Like I said, it could keep the buzz going for a while, like what could've happened if Netflix had released The Witcher on a weekly basis instead of all at once, the same with Amazon and The Expanse. However, your guess is far more likely.

Honestly, if this is true, I'm not actually sure whether or not I'll bu it, I played the OT to death & back, plus, with how many hours I sank into the MP, I'm not sure I'd want to start from scratch again, if it even is a thing, so I'll wait until its either confirmed or denied & go from there, but atm, thinking...nah

I've got MET on Xbox and heavily modded on PC.
While I too would prefer a MET remake, instead of a MET remaster, I'd still buy a MET remaster for Xbox immediately.

However I'd love to have A NEW Mass Effect game, no matter if Andromeda 2, a MET sidequel, spinoff etc.

Do we really need a simple remaster ? NO. Remake will be good option, not remaster.

I have question: When was Mass Effect trilogy not in HD?

I don't think this will produce anything conclusive. Chances are the people who care already bought it and aren't interested in buying again, for another $60. On PC it will not be compatible with the mods we already have on it, so there will be little incentive to buy an experience that won't live up to what we already have. The XBOX version of the trilogy is compatible with the Series X and will get a lot of AMD's new features making it an experience that will behave better than the remaster and the only possible audience you might have, is the PS5 one.

This will be lucky to sell 200k copies on PS5 owners, because ME's fanbase wasn't on the PS to begin with. It was on PC and XBOX. It will make a profit, because this is literally a 5k job, as I understand it, but this won't string up any new interest and it will be a bad way to measure it as well. Unless Bioware/EA expects us to buy it to show our support, but it hasn't been communicated to us, nor is it a promise that we will like what comes next. If Bioware doesn't communicate back with us, this will fall short of Bioware/EA's expectations.

Arfgghhhhh...  *head explodes*

Don't be too quick to dismiss this one... I'm getting a vibe out there. 

I don't see the number of people that you think will buy it.  Mass Effect is popular in some circles, but enough time has passes that those people will have bought it.  There probably will be new people interested in the games, but I don't see that being a very large number either and I don't see it outselling Andromeda. There is also the competition for playing Mass Effect on EA access for $5 a month for the basic versions of those games and EA did a trilogy pack around the time of Mass Effect 3 and if that had done well enough I would have expected a remaster around that time.

Like most game development I won't believe it until if I want it I can get my hands on it, but if true I hope if it does badly it doesn't kill the franchise.

Unless I'm mistaken, the console versions of the trilogy rendered at only 720p
