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

I'm more in the camp of "Mass Effect isn't dead? Meh, pass on the remaster".

As for ME next, time will tell if it interests me into buying it or passing on it.

These two lines I'm with you on. I'm really excited for the ME Remaster, even with the horrible ending. Because it'd be awesome to play them again. However, too many on here just want to yell and shout at others for enjoying something they don't (both fans of the OT and fans of Andromeda - both sides are guilty of this). And it's not everyone; which really is an improvement from the time of the end of ME3/start of Andromeda. Not a huge one, but an improvement all the same (I realize some will say I'm crazy or don't know what I'm talking about, but I read threads, and I still see those who, while might be negative, still don't offer a "blind hatred/obedience style response).

Not everyone liked Andromeda, and that's perfectly okay! There were valid criticisms about it, but was it all horrible? No! I'd be willing to give an Andromeda sequel a chance. I'd want to see story/plot and some idea on how profiles will work before I jump into it with excitement. As for a side-quell in the Milky Way? Again - same answer. I'd want to see story/gameplay mechanics before I jump into any sort of excitement. But if the story can at least be entertaining and enjoyable, I'd settle for that.

And again, yeah - I'm looking forward to the Legendary Edition of the OT

Dude, I must really be in the minority here since I never let the final 20-30 minutes of ME3 sour my entire experience with the franchise; which is still my favorite. Was the ending a good one? No. But what could they have done? The board was set the moment ME1 introduced Sovereign as an envoy to an even great threat. I don't even think Drew Karpashyn had any ideas as to how to resolve the ending. People had all their various fan-fictions, but I think a lot of them would have been contentious for much of the die-hard fanbase; including the Indoctrination theory.

I wont continue delving deeper into those those old scars though. I just want to reinforce the point that these games are meant for those who want back on the nostalgia train, a means to build up their collections, or to introduce a new audience to the franchise.

Maybe. But it's just that the mods, especially ones like EGM, make for a vastly superior experience to base ME3. Maybe the mod community is very small, but Skyrim would beg to differ.


So they won't be looking forward to the Remaster, either, then.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make.


Yes, they do. The number of successful remasters are TLoU1 and Skyrim. Literally no other remaster has hit huge numbers, outside of, maybe, several hundred thousands, at best. The Command & Conquer remaster we got recently, I read sold something like 500k? I doubt ME has a bigger audience, at this point. The NFS remasters did similar numbers, Sleeping Dogs as well, the Assassins Creed 3 remaster went by and nobody realized it, BamHam remaster ... did it even release? If it did, it must have sold like shit. The Silent Hill 2 remaster effectively killed itself with the job done to it and don't even get me started on Warcraft 3: Reblundered. Yes, they turn a profit, because they are made on shoestring budget, but that's the appeal of these titles to these companies. Like, the ME remaster won't cost $10 million CAD a year, but even at 500k copies sold, at $60 a piece, it's $30 million USD in total revenue, with at least $15 of those going back to EA. The margins in these title are huge. I doubt this remaster has a budget larger than $1 million CAD. Of which, EA is probably going to get 30% of it back, through their tax cut deals with Canada and even so, $1 CA is like $0.75 US? This is peanuts for EA, for a guaranteed profit.


People talked about Andromeda, too. Not all talk is good talk. I talk to new kids that went through the trilogy and they overwhelmingly laugh at the writing in ME3. Hearsay, sure, but that was the reaction back in the day, why would it be any different today? I expect equal division from any new number of players, as back in 2012. It's what I see and what I expect.


I'd argue, at this point, it's better left forgotten. It'd be merciful. No more dragging through the mud. Hasn't ME gone through enough?


The VAs confirmed they haven't been contacted for new content and Casey basically confirmed it's a texture pack with reshade.


You gain not being disappointed.

Same for me.  I hate the ending but love the trilogy. I've played through them more times than I can count. If the ending ruined it for me I'd of stopped doing that.

Yo ushould b eOK because it's only a remastre not a remak eand it i sbein greleased on current gen so a slon gas you rsystem you play on can handle PS4/XB1 games you should be fine.

Wanna place a bet that Bioware will still screw up the hair textures? 😆

Then what is the point of mute content, in an RPG? It's not story content, so who is going to care?


You assume too much. Are we at the point where being critical of something, being considered triggered? I am supposed to blindly accept everything? I don't understand your reasoning. I see it as a bad move and until "someone" explains to us the thought process behind such a decision, or why they expect something different than last time, then maybe I can be on board with it.


I am negative because the trilogy is still being regarded in a negative light, as long as it remains associated to ME3. Largely. Just as it was back in the day. It hasn't changed and expecting it to change, just because, isn't going to happen, no matter the wishful thinking. Bioware is still going to get ridiculed, again, by the new players, so long as ME3, or at the very least its ending, remain in its current form, both the franchise's and Bioware's reputation will remain tarnished. If the point is for EA to make an easy buck, congrats. It shows me exactly the mentality behind the studio and the publisher and it is not done in a consumer friendly manner, for me to endorse it. I still have the freedom of will to choose and reject it.

Indeed.
