Rumours of Mass Effect Trilogy Trilogy Remaster: What would you like to see?

I can think multiple reasons why. Just look at other remasters, like the BamHam games, Sleeping Dogs, or worse, Warcraft 3 Reforged.


Bioware won't work on the remaster, at all, in anything other than a superficially advisory role, if even that.


Why would you do that? Have you no respect for the hard work put into the money you make?


I don't think anyone's said it will save ME and if they have, they're flat out wrong.


Yeah, OK. Sure, buddy, whatever you say.

Just to name a few
-Lighting
-Performance
-Bugs
-Mod support


They are indicative of the work you can expect of remasters. If this is the standard, why would any company deviate?


Because why would be a good job? Why do a good job, when you can half ass it and still make the money?


You heard me.


Because it won't save ME. Go make a sequel to a failed title, seven years later, at best and tell me how much of a future that franchise has. ME is very much so in need of saving. Bioware in general is very much so in need of saving.

…especially if he bears the name of Satan. And yet, OT was able to more than occasionally talk religious topics without contempt or setting up a not even funny satire on Abrahamism.

Indeed when i tcomes t oany ermastre I'lllikely do the same

I doubt it's Bioware making the remaster. Probably some outsourcing company.

So this remaster, if it's indeed real, doesn't distract Bioware from digging away at their grave with Anthem and possibly DA4. Don't you worry, guys.

I'm not sure where the idea comes from that a remaster will be anything but a purely cosmetic graphical enhancement and DLC bundle. I'm 99.9% sure there won't be any gameplay/story changes.
So I'm not worried about "ruining" anything.

?

Well, your avatar reminds me of something... that most targets of unfunny satire about religion could be mostly non-christians or non-humans...

When everyone is special no one is special .  It made it all a boring blah of explosions just with different colored lights. Lift+throw=orbit, lift+warp=boom. Me3 should have kept it like but expanded what had interesting combinations instead of just giving different color versions of the same thing. It was far worse than ME2s limited supply.

I’d be really wary if BioWare decided to thoroughly overhaul ME1, because I feel that even despite a lot of its weaknesses, there’s always a good chance they’d go too far and wreck something in the process. Audio enhancements and higher fidelity in various assets would just be my baseline for notable improvements, but if I really had to make a more substantial change, it would have to be the inventory system. It’s trash. Micromanaging the items stacking up in your inventory can feel like a chore. I once had to sit there fiddling around with it because deleting things didn’t always free up the space I needed. I sat there for like 10 minutes futzing about with my magic backpack just to make space for the anti-thorian grenade mod lol. 

The change to the romance options would also be welcome. 


On another note, I see comments about jet packs and such, and I don’t think they would be at all welcome additions to the trilogy. The verticality required to justify their existence would just encourage the devs to create platforming situations that get in the way. MEA was very guilty of this. It’s fun to exploit to its fullest potential in a gunfight, but vertical mobility to this extent tends to create bad habits in level design that can make the environments feel Mario-like as a result. 

For me, the most important thing was finally getting total freedom in weapons loadouts. Being confined to certain loadouts was an rpg mechanic I felt had no place in the game at all.
