EA Strongly Hints That Mass Effect Games Will Get Remastered

If done, hopefully they include all dlc in the price

It'll stay as it was. Nothing else can reasonably be expected, since a remastering doesn't usually add new content, *and* Bioware most likely doesn't want to touch that can of worms either.

They may add cut content that has no effect on the ending.

For example. Samantha never got a scene on the Citadel in the vanilla game. Don't know if there was  a scene and it got cut for whatever reason, but that could  be added

I'm still waiting for $%#@! Citadel and Omega to be discounted on the current lolME3.

I don't know, wait until after ME:A is released, then the potential customer is base is larger, since there will be some who will play MEA having never plated the trilogy. All those introduced to mass effect through Andromeda will then buy remastered trilogy after playing Andromeda.

Possibly...

By tweaking I meant cleaning up menus to make them less clunky, perhaps altering the hacking, and adding headshots. Again, that's absolute best case scenario, and unlikely. The odds that they'll redo the games in a new engine is almost 0. The most work done to most remasters is to add higher resolutions. FFX got a new soundtrack, of arrangements based on its old soundtrack, and had some actors come in to voice material that had not been localized before. That was considered extensive for a remaster.

Again, the odds are we shouldn't expect anything outside of a slightly better looking game, perhaps 4k support.

Dunno why they wouldn't.

I'd be happy if a remastered edition included:
- better textures
- higher resolutions (they go up to 1440p now, so 4k and some 21:9 resolutions) (the interface and text has to scale correctly)
- controller support on PC (the code is in the game, they just have to make it a choice in the options menu and implement it properly)
- all DLC (this wasn't possible until recently, when all the marketing deals have expired; for instance, the exclusive ME2 weapon for the PS3, the Blackstorm, is now available free on PC)
- a bug-fix for AMD processors in Mass Effect 1 (to this day I haven't been able to experience Ilos with proper shadows)

Fewer changes = less complexity = better end product (that's how it should work, anyway). EA won't want to spend more money than they have to, so any additional changes are unlikely. As neat and complete a package as possible means EA might get completely rid of social.bioware.com (and maybe let GOG have them? Dragon Age: Origins was recently added to the GOG store).

I tweeted as much to them and several of us proposed it on bsn prime last year.

The focus was on the cut content for Ashley in particular, which i thought was awesome.

Forgive my derpyness here but I know nowt about remasters. I take it that it's just taking the old game and upgrading it?

I'd actually prefer them to wait a few years then revisit the trilogy and remake it from the ground up (including doing the stories they wish they'd done). But you'd need a long wait before tackling it, it's too fresh right now.

However why on earth Bioware would put resources into the trilogy is beyond me. They're far better off letting the ME team do new games, DA do DA, new IP do new IP and just ignore it. So if there was a remaster I wouldn't be surprised if EA farmed it out to someone else. And they'll ruin it.

For the ending we'll get the Extended Cut and nothing more.

The only thing a remaster will do is upgrade it with high resolution textures. In addition, any pre-rendered movies will also be re-encoded in high resolution.

The content or dialogue in the ending or any other part of the game won't be touched.
