Would anyone else like to see the ME trilogy redone in the latest engine, keeping the original combat and RPG style (of either 1 or 3).
I would love to replay Shepard's story in a shiny new engine.

I really don't think that it would be very sensible or lucrative for Bioware to go to all that trouble just to keep remaking the same old trilogy of games over and over again. I love the old Trilogy, too; but I'd rather see them put all that money and effort into a ME:A2 or into getting their new IP off the ground.

Honestly, from what I have seen of Andromeda so far, it's not going to make that much difference. Facial animations and character detail so far don't really look great to me. I actually wonder why BioWare doesn't try harder to get the max amount of fidelity out of the engine. If you look at other Frosbite games, DA:I and ME:A really don't quite look up to snuff. So before they'd start work on a remake, I'd want them to improve some aspects of their current Frostbite games.
Don't need it anytime soon as it is, UE3 works just fine for the MET, IMO.

I much prefer the look of ME2/3 to DA:I. Me too. It never looks flat. At its worst it just look oversaturated or obscured by shadows. DA:I and MEA sometimes look completely flat because of the more real-time lighting features. ME2 in particular oozes with style.

Maybe a shiny new Unreal Engine with some updated textures. My first impression of ME:A is that they should have stuck with Unreal, lol. I'd say the chance of it happening is about zero either way. EA doesn't remaster games. I think I recall reading an article not too long ago quoting someone from EA stating that it wasn't in their business model to do that.

I think I'd rather move forward unless BioWare has plans to turn Milky Way ME into a tetralogy (or maybe quadrilogy). (I had to look this up, but it means four in a series instead of three.) Otherwise, they could be working on a DA4, MEA2 or some new IP entirely. Now, given unlimited resources, yes, it would be cool to see.

I think I'd rather move forward unless BioWare has plans to turn Milky Way ME into a tetralogy (or maybe quadrilogy). "Tetralogy" is etymologically better than "quadrilogy" because both "tettares" (meaning "four") and "logos" (meaning "word") are of Greek origin. "Quadrilogy" borrows from Latin "quattuor""/"quartus"/"quadrus" and is thus a smushing-together of Latin and Greek.

Mass Effect 1 in this engine would work perfectly.
The combat as it is really wouldn't suit ME2 and 3. It's pretty weak.

Honestly I wouldn't do anything to the original trilogy it is still recent enough where a remaster isn't necessary. Sure the graphics may not be as crisp as MEA or newer generation games but they still hold up well enough for me and the unreal engine seemed to work fine.

Yeah, I think realistically this isn't likely until we get to a point where games have really made a bigger leap forward in terms of graphics, design, ease of play, etc. and a new generation of gamers have come along that never played the Shepard trilogy at all. Right now, even ME1 is still acceptable enough compared to the newest games. Or at least it is for me.

ME1 looks pretty good on the computer I bought to play MEA. Then again, I had all kinds of problems with a prior computer due to AMD chip not working with ME1.

As long as they completely edit and change the ending of ME3 in the process, sure!

I wouldn't like the trilogy getting remade. It would just be technically butchered or inferior'd because BioWare sucks nowadays. They'd just make the assets look worse and kill the aesthetics in an attempt to up-res it and if it was Frostbite they'd screw up recreating the technology needed to replicate what they did with Unreal. They'd end up making a shitty trilogy remake.

The only thing I'd really like to see in ME2/3 from the new generation is ME:A's style of galaxy map. That thing is just super awesome! Ideally, there should be an option to cancel the flying animations but everything else about it, I love. Having that for the Normandy would make even the mineral scanning in ME2 fun for me (well, almost ).

Having seen MEA for myself, I think I prefer ME3 as it is. Maybe you could spruce up the Mako planet exploration in ME1 and get rid of the inventory issue but so far, I'm liking the trilogy better. I'd like to think there was a happy medium when it comes to facial animation somewhere between Shepard and Ryder, and I don't recall any of the associated facial weirdness in Inquisition. I'd if it means that Aria and Samara end up looking the same but in different shades of blue/mauve i'll pass, thanks.

It would be nice, if not just to make me want to take my time in ME 1 and not rush through it. The uncharted planet environments are just so bland and the gameplay sucks. Story however is top notch. ME 2ans 3?woudnt need as much touching up but a remaster wouldn't be feasible unless it was like what they did with Halo and Halo 2 which was re design it from the ground up plus more. It just wouldn't be financially sound at this time.

Remastering old games have worked for a lot of other companies. Ratchet and Clank games sold so well they remastered nearly all of them from PS2 to PS3. Square Enxi has had a lot with Kingdom Hearts HD remakes and Bethseada with Skyrim HD. There is a history if the demand is high enough. Everything is already recorded, story is build, etc. Just graphics need to be done.

However, let's face it, the vibe from the fanbase here is that what people want is a redo of the game with a modified story and, mostly, a very modified ending. I would certainly buy a simple graphical remaster and was really hoping they were planning to do one instead of just making the old Trilogy backwards compatible for the Xbox One. I just don't think they're going to do it now, since it was made backwards compatible... since it being backwards compatible eats away some of the potential market for a remastered version. If they were thinking about a remaster, the time to have done it was ideally before it became backwards compatible and prior to the release of ME:A. I think it's even more unlikely now given the mixed response to ME:A. They may instead decide to just focus on the new IP and hope to hit a home run with it to salvage their reputation.

Well I guess it is good to a point that the fan base here isn't relative to the entire fan base. Because an HD remaster is exactly that. Graphical update only and allowing it to be released for PS4 and One, PC and possibly Switch would drastically open up the market. Granted they should only start working on this ideally after ME:A's is done. Or at least they finally cut off updates for it. ME trilogy has a lot of very heavy plot related DLC. Would it be like ME 1 in the ME trilogy with Bringing Down the Sky auto included all story related. Or would you have to buy that separate again?

Let's be honest. Every publisher and developer is looking at Square Enix and Final Fantasy VII right now, waiting to see the end result. If it proves a massive success, I wouldn't rule out seeing a lot of companies start overhauling old titles to cash in on nostalgia. That being said, it's a little too early for the trilogy. Give it another 5-10 years.
