The tempting thing would be if they remade the original games in the andromeda engine (preferably a newer iteration of it)

Given that's it just gonna be a cash grab to make up for the failure of anthem/andromeda I am fully expecting the laziest of texture upscales.

Andromeda 2 could be good, if they fixed literally everything the hosed up with Andromeda 1. They won't do this.

It will be remaster, with ME3MP stripped out lol, which removes the reason to play ME3.

OR it will be a combo pack of ME3Remaster and Andromeda, which nobody wants.

I will buy either of those final two options like the huge idiot that I am

I still like the original trilogy despite the final games flaws, and I never played Andromeda after I refunded it for being terrible in the prerelease period

I wouldn't mind seeing ME1 get a remake over a remaster but then we'd have to deal with Bioware squandering resources again before hoping everything comes together during the crunch period Bioware Magic moment.

I’ll be buying this remaster but I refuse to get too excited; after reforged I’m not going to automatically trust a dev to clear the low bar of “that game you already like, but with slightly better graphics”

The EA/Petroglyph C&C remaster was perfect and even had balance changes everybody wanted. Granted it always appeared a labor of love, not a cashgrab.

Mass Effect 2 & 3 still look really good on PC so I can't see myself getting this without MP.

The PC version better actually have controller support now. The fact none of them had it until Andromeda is loving baffling. It came out on Xbox 360! The controls are already in the game!

I didn't even think about that. I was just remembering the pay for credits thing it hand originally. But if EA makes it so you can you can get legendary characters with special skills set/unique lines/animations to use in ME Multiplayer..... my god.

I spent more money on the ME3 multiplayer than I did on the Collector's Edition itself, and I'll do it again if they let me.

i'm burnt out enough on remakes, rehashes, rebootquels and re-releases of old media that i'd rather take a spiritual successor to mass effect from bioware than going back to plumb that same old well

having to start with a fresh slate would be an overall boost imho, just keep it in the vein of a spiritual successor and don't do something like, anthem

Its going to be a lazy remaster. Not everything can be as good as Blackbird taking the time to overhaul Homeworld 2 to have proper formations and ballistics.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


What’s funny is that mass effect is just generic sci-fi IP, the setting. It’s so Bioware could make their own games without the rights holders of Star Wars breathing down their necks and limiting what they could do. There isn’t anything here specifically that people love, it’s intentionally the blending and homage of a bunch of tropes from other sources. So of course after BioWare builds it up so well that the Mass Wffext universe starts gaining its own fandom, they burn it to the ground so hard that the only thing left is a remake lol

A lot of it is generic but they filled it with enough details that it feels pretty lived in and alive, which sets it apart from most sci-fi/fantasy settings, which stop at “generic”.

The setting is star trek with guns for ME1, Firefly and space western anime for 2, and lovely war drama in a sci fi skin for 3.

Andromeda had problems but it was still, on the whole, a pretty good game. So the new game will probably be good as well.
