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

With Bioware being busy with Anthem 2.0 and probably Dragon Age I'd say they outsourced it.

What I'm wondering is the game engine for that Remaster?
MET ran on Unreal 3 if I remember correctly.

MEA was on Frostbite, which was a big reason for their development issues.

Thaq twould make it a remake not a remaster in that instance.
Just Sayingt

The point is being vague enough on the things you know, so people will not be sure of who you are. Also, feeding false info on certain things, to throw people off. As far as I know, for example, the MET remaster is not a thing, in spite of having several rumours of it this year already, to the contrary. Or, my imaginary friend is in no position to know about it, since it got outsourced. But I am getting that it was considered at some point, but shot down. And I didn't care, so I didn't prod further.

Was the MET remaster supposed to be confirmed today in the XBOX live event? Or the EA Play event, next month? Because the article I read said it was going to be announced in the XBOX event today. Not on the venturebeat article, though.

There's also the fact that ME is not named as the title of the EA HD game, but it seems that the author has deducted it, assumed it, or was somehow told that it's it from someone that was there and in the know. Is the investor transcript open for journalists to attend? I've not personally attended or sought to attend one, so I don't know. Also, every other outlet that says it's the ME remaster, simply cites the venturebeat article. Now, obviously this journalist is legit, not questioning that, but I don't know about the accuracy of the information being fed to him. Also, throwing it away at the end, more like an afterthought, makes me think that maybe he's not so confident in this source. I mean, if I had that info, I would have made this as the main news of the story. That's just me, though.

Thus why I probably will pass.

Well. I've not been fed specifics. My guess is
-Post Kett war
-After getting buttfucked back to the stone age, the Kett form a small population society, with the intention to survive
-Instead of abducting people, now the accept converters
-Ryder is played up in codex entries to make him/her seem more heroic and palatable, compared to ME:A, with intent to revisit Ryder at a later title, perhaps? Make people wonder "how did Ryder do it?"
-Nexus is expanded to Citadel levels
-More cities on planets
-Possible expansions beyond Heleus, to other clusters, inhabited by single races, i.e. this is the Turian cluster, the Quarian one etc.
-Able to visit more planets and some small hub worlds, that aren't all that big, though, nor defined/developed.
-Most likely stand alone title, not long after the events of what would have been ME:A3, since they don't want to move the timeline too far ahead.
But that's just my guess.

Of corse not. Because there is no way he can prove them. And if he can't prove his claims, than are just supposition. Maybe supposition than can be right. But we'll know in the next years. If he just word his supposition as such, I have no problem. But claiming stuff on the internet with no proof (that can be still made up anyway) will never covince me that is true. A lucky guess at most. 

It would definitely be in UE3. There was a fan project that tried to port it to UE4, but the games just broke so bad, the work required was, well, let's say not worth it. Games break even between versions of the same engine and that includes UE3, as well.

That'd still fall under remake I'm afraid.

Remasters are no new to add stuff. The recent Rune Factory 4 Special for Switch (remaster of Rune Factory 4 on the 3DS) added quite a few things to the game, like story episodes (expecially post marriage) and so the Xenoblade remaster, or the Kingdom Heart 1/2 Remasters, who added optional bosses and new cutscene, some from the Final Mix version of the game (was Japan only in the PS2 era) some completely new.

So, even Remasters can add some stuff. But non big changes to the story.

KH Remasters didn't add anything new they just added it to the game outside of Japan. And the only reason that even happened was because KH localization added stuff to the game when they released in the west.

UE4 is very friendly. I've used it, as well. There is a lot of documentation and you can have graphs about everything that is broken and how to fix it, depending on the tutorials provided and those are in-depth, as well. Sure, the source code would help. It's still a mess, if the game breaks every third line of code. It's not impossible. Just tedious and time consuming, in either case. It depends on how much of a remaster you want to make. Personally, I wouldn't go to UE4, as it is too much work, for a job that doesn't offer a big payoff, for the publisher. I would cut the cost as close as I could. Newer versions of UE3, textures and an ENB/reshade thing and that would be it. That way you can maximize your profit.
