[BioFan Video] Remastered Mass Effect Trilogy Update!

                                                                                                             <<<<<<<<<<<(0)>>>>>>>>>>

Seeing that FB3 cannot use the Unreal Engine assets, it will be a mighty expensive re-master as all the animations must be mocapped
and if Bio goes all new facial animation route.... EA will sell it at $59-$69 bucks easy.

That's not a remaster, though, that's a whole new game. It will never happen, as cool as it might be to imagine. I guess I may as well post here what I posted on the BioWare Forums, since that will soon go lights out.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about a remaster. They'd need to address quite a few things to make it worthwhile.

I currently use gibbed to "fix" things I don't like, such as the abominable ME2 planet-scanning. I also use it to fix things that are truly broken, such as the numerous save-import flags that are "double-flagged" or "unmarked", and thus transfer incorrectly. I likewise use gibbed to add minor visual enhancements to my FemSheps in ME2. (ME3 ruined FemShep beyond using, for me.)

I'd need any remaster to address all of my myriad gripes at least as well, if not better than, gibbed does. It would also have to include seamless save importing, enhanced presentation, ALL OF THE DLC (every tiny bit of it) and all that stuff that goes without saying. Otherwise, I have no reason to spend all of the money again.

I could add additional, simple requests, that wouldn't be out of line or unreasonable, but I know they wouldn't be included. I'm skeptical that even my baseline expectations could be met. If so, though, it would be nice to see this happen, I guess. My desire is somewhat at a low, at present. (Likely a combination of no Andromeda info and the forum closing.) I think I need something fresh from BioWare, after 9 years of Mass Effect. That doesn't mean I don't want Andromeda, but I'm curious to see what this new IP is going to be.

I cant see myself buying seperate instalments for $50 USD each or paying for DLC that I already own.

The price tag for that in Australia for three games would be roughly $180-210 at the cheapest. With DLC now following the stock exchange on current gen consoles all DLC will probably be close to $100-$200.

($60 for all story DLC for ME3 alone on xbox 360.)

I am not playing $280-$360 for the Mass Effect trilogy.

I really can't see they launching the game without dlc just to put the old remastered dlc's on the new stores.

They say´d remaster, not remake. I bet they will just smack the PC-version on the new consoles and call it done.

It would be great if they could include quite a bit of the cut content as well, I for one don't really care if it affects the balance of the game. I've played it that many times I think it could add something interesting to the game.

It s all we ll have left when andromeda will fail miserably
I guess we ll even have to buy it to keep playing ME3 MP

Dude, don't count on it. BioWare presumably has all its departments working full force on the respective new products, so most likely a third party studio like Bluepoint or what-have-you would take care of a potential remaster of the ME trilogy, and moving an Unreal Engine 3 game to Frostbite 3 is... I'm not sure it's even possible unless you actually remake the game instead of remastering them, meaning, they have to build up a lot of systems and mechanics from scratch.

Anyone who's played Gears of War and Arkham City and alike have probably noticed how in a lot of UE3 games there are moments where the character goes into slow-walk mode and pulls his hand up to his headpiece while he talks with someone over comms to move the plot along. I actually think that's sort of a stock feature or some sort of skeleton you have in UE3 and while that specific example doesn't appear in Mass Effect, other mechanical aspects do, I think particularly in scene transitions and stuff. 

I just don't think it's realistic to expect a remaster to be a big upgrade except it probably would've updated meshes and texture overhauls, perhaps enhanced lighting as well. But if it's like the Uncharted trilogy remaster I think I'll just skip to the PC versions because I thought Bluepoint had done a bad job of keeping the aesthetics of Uncharted after upgrading. It was better tech and impressive "features" but the artistic expression of certain scenes was lost, like the sand in UC3 not emanating the proper red tint to suggest its warmth or the lack of motion blur in speedy cutscenes or Nate's updated UC1 model breaking some of his facial animations.

edit: No. There's nothing wildly speculative about it. It's what the guy said in the interview. If you think it's for some other reason, then you're the one operating without any shred of evidence. And I don't even know what you're talking about in the rest of your sentence. Or what you're insinuating. They've got some other motives going on? Who cares. I don't care what they may, or may not be up to, or they're "shtick". That's what he said in the interview, and that's what I'm calling him out on. Any motivations beyond what he said is pure speculation on your part.

And if all you have is some flip condescending attitude to present, then you take this opportunity to stfu talking to me.

While they're remastering the trilogy could they....tweak some things?

Like....Add in a James Vega romance and take out Diana Allers all together?



A girl can dream.

I hope it has all DLC for ME1, I bought digital PS3 version, but it didn't have DLC until the trilogy pack.
