It was Lukas Kristjanson. Hasn't he been with Bioware since BG? Or am I remembering someone else?

I thought Andromeda was a perfectly serviceable game, it just wasn't up there with the awesomeness of the trilogy. I'm very much up for 'more'... Yes more Andromeda please.

Yes more Andromeda please. Though I suspect at best Andromeda will be referenced. I'm not expecting an 'Andromeda 2'.

Well if that's the case, it's a "no buy" from me. I think ME5 will attempt to recapture the spirit of the trilogy and take that story forward (sweeping up Andromeda in passing), which to me would be exactly the right decision, but we're beyond speculating here. We don't even have the Dragon Age launch yet, so we're years from ME5 yes?

Exactly. That is what creatively killed Star Wars and it's stagnating and why Star Trek is creatively kicking ass and taking names and looks healthier and is actually willing to try new directions and ideas and oh yeah the creative teams are actually listening to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of the current shows and they doesn't pay attention to the useless raging Youtubers and their equally useless followers on social media and is closer to it's heyday back when TNG and DS9 were at their peak.

That's kinda how I feel Panda. The oG versions of the games look and play amazingly in 4K and while John Shepard now looks like a drag queen (at least in the pictures I've seen) the one single change I actually agree with is that they brought over the model of Jane Shepard from 3 now into 1 and 2 as well. Other than that.....I'm sure it looks all fancified, but it's not necessary. I think they should have put this money into the new ME title or into DA 4 instead....And selling it for the full price of the original games? OKay, sure you're getting all 3 games at that price so I guess mathematically you could call it a deal if you were so inclined. But after all this time and with as good as the Originals still look and play, why not sell this new edition at a lesser cost....like 60 or, hell, even 50.00 plus tax. I still wouldn't buy it of course, but that's just me. I will be buying the new ME title and DA 4 of course. Living on PS3 in those days, I don’t even know what 4K Mass Effect looks like lol. I can tell you though that to that end, ME1 ran horribly. Every auto-save or mass relay load screen was a roll of the dice to a hard crash, and Mass Effect 2, at least on my platform, never fixed the audio bug where dialogue cuts out at the last syllable. Kinda nice to not have to fire up that old obelisk to play the trilogy again. For what it’s worth, I don’t suppose the investment that went into the remaster would have affected whatever was put into the upcoming installment, or the next Dragon Age. Oh yes, I bought the trilogy pack when I got my PS3 in 2015 or something so it was pretty cheap). I wanted to know how the game plays on concsoles. I started ME1 and never got past Eden Prime. Those loading screen!!!!
There was one cool thing though: In the PS3 version of ME1, Shepard would sometimes actually voice the order I gave. I don't quite remember what exactly he said but he did have little VO bits like "move" or "target that geth" or something. That was really cool and made the cinematic experience even more immersive. I am sort of hoping they'll activate that feature in the PC version of the remaster. Shepard never did anything like that there.

That’s interesting. My Shepard never said anything during combat except for when shields went down.

The only issue I had playing ME on the ps3 was fighting the grasshopper at the end. For some reason, the screen would freeze halfway through the fight. I had to restart to finish. ME2 I had no issues. ME3 had the most with Shepard getting stuck on the bridge, only in the corner, the hair thing when entering the room with Javik, and at times, missing parts of dialogue from Traynor after using the elevator. Overall, the trilogy played well on the ps3. Since I was able to complete ME1 in 3 hours 26 minutes, I would be curious how much faster that time will be on the ps4. Of course I'll have to wait to get a ps5 to see how much faster it would be on that console.

I was always kinda curious that I never heard anyone else mention this difference. Will have to dig out the old console and try it again, just to check myself. But I could swear that he said more stuff in the PS3 version.

I have the original PC versions of all the OT, and I can tell you that Shepard did have a 'voice' for commands in ME 1 like what you are describing.

I never said If it's not Andromeda 2 it's a no buy. I've been saying ever since ME5 has been announced that If Andromeda is just mentioned as a reference, then I won't buy it. Honestly being screwed over as Hanako Ikezawa said and just receiving crumbs just won't cut it for me. If DAI can heavily mention DA2 and have them play a key role then I can't see why ME: A can't play a huge role in the next game.

The fact I still come to this blasted forum, after all these years of disappointment, means it's too late for me. I'm riding with Mass Effect, to the end of the line. Weather I like it or not. I know I cannot emotionally escape it.

Only difference is that those OT references in Andromeda sent goosebumps throughout my body while any Andromeda references in ME4 will put a bad taste in my mouth. When I heard the reaper noise during the MW broadcasts in Andromeda... man. I missed Shepard and the Normandy so much.

However I've grown weary of fans telling I suck or getting death threats and seen artists say that they deserve to get their hands just because I like DA2 or didn't think the ME3 endings were bad (though I am mixed on it). I'm aware that ME: A had a mixed reception but Bioware shouldn't be overcompesating by just going and appealing to a group of fans and abandon the others. It didn't work for ME: A and it won't work for ME: 5.

Anyway back on topic, we'll have to see where Bioware goes with this. Though I suspect what direction they'll take will be based on the reception of MELE.

You honestly think I'm loyal to Bioware? There is a certain demographic on this forum that believes Bioware can do no wrong. And even when they do, they only do so reluctantly and make up excuses for why this is an exception in an otherwise absolutely spotless portfolio. Which is something that I don't feel reflects the general public's views towards Bioware. In my interactions, people are really weary of giving Bioware any chances going forward. Some people refuse to believe that is even possible. I can't tell them what to believe, but this also creates a rift in communication, when people refuse to consider the possibility. Especially after some very lackluster launches of Bioware games. But of course, those lackluster launches only happened, according to me. All Bioware games ever have been unrivaled successes. Especially lately.

If DAI can heavily mention DA2 and have them play a key role then I can't see why ME: A can't play a huge role in the next game. Yea? and getting crumbs of the OT in Andromeda didn't cut it for a lot of other people, and you told us to get over it. So really I don't see the issue. You all say your the "loyal" ones all the time. But your the one saying you aren't buying the next one if it isn't what you want it to be. Me? The fact I still come to this blasted forum, after all these years of disappointment, means it's too late for me. I'm riding with Mass Effect, to the end of line. Weather I like it or not. I know I cannot emotionally escape it. Hehe I'm loyal ...... well at least my wallet is, if they produce a game I'll buy it, every game has their flaws complaining doesn't fix anything...well lest here on the forums and the click bait you tubers and with all that said Hehe nothing get fixed.
