BioWare confirms a new Mass Effect in development and Mass Effect: Legendary Edition details, Spring 2021 on Xbox One, Series X|S, PC, PS4 & PS5
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
All of 3's endings suck anyway, so it's not like there's a good choice to pick.
I still haven't played ME other than a few hours of the first one even though I've bought them all a few times, this time, this time it's gonna happen!
Footage would be nice.
Knowing EA it'll be a low effort job again.
I hope the first scene of the sequel is the Normandy showing up and destroying the Tempest, all crew members on board.

Probably PS4 and Xbox One as well. Considering it's a remaster it will probably be pretty easy to scale down, plus that's a massive install base they won't want to miss out on.

People assumed Mass Effect was dead because they didn't release any DLCs and they moved the BioWare Montreal team to EA Motive, but, despite middling reception, Andromeda did good financially.
They already ruled that out before making Andromeda.
The synthesis ending fucks everything up if you try to go that route. You could handle a control/destroy ending split with just dialogue, but synthesis is too big and setting changing to do Bioware's patented "minor difference" narrative splitting.
Few people care about Ryder and her band of morons.
The fanbase is still attached to the old galaxy and its stories/characters.
Absolutely did not expect a new game announcement at this time.
Anyway, excited to replay the game in Legendary edition - whenever it comes out.

I'm actually happy the original 3 are not really getting changed except for fps/resolution/shadows etc..
That is a day 1 purchase for me!
Also I am glad they're getting another chance with the franchise.

It's not about the quality of the endings themselves so much as what they can make of their after effects. Destroy offers up plenty of interesting possibilities without radically having to change things like you would with Synthesis or Control.
Destroy is still an ending where Shepard committed literal genocide on an entire sentient species just to get rid of the bad guys, though. Fuck the Destroy ending.
Real curious to see how those changes look, especially for the first game. Not sure if I'm chomping to replay the trilogy right now, but I'm sure to want to give them another spin at some point!
I guess there's always the "refuse" ending....although...that doesn't quite go well lol.
I think it's pretty clear that the team wanted players to go with the synthesis(?) ending, but fuck that noise. I'm not listening to some random starchild after having a 5 minute conversation with him.
A new Mass Effect sounds interesting...I wonder where they would go. Prequel? Andromeda sequel? Entirely new Andromeda-esque game with an entirely new cast? I'm interested to see where it will eventually go!
In regards to the Legendary Edition, I'll definitely get it and re-live the old games! No ME3 multiplayer is disappointing, as my only ME multiplayer experience was with Andromeda, and while it was good, I hear that ME3's was...well, "legendary".

Is this coming via a blog post/tweet of a trailer? I see some talks elsewhere and on twitter regarding a "live panel". Which would be news to me? DO we know what is planned for today? I have a feeling a random blog post from EA directly / Bioware with a trailer is all that is happening. And article blog details.
Excited to replay the trilogy. Less so about the new game. I want to be excited for the new game but Bioware and EA give me no reason to be excited. I do not trust the frat house like atmosphere at BIoware that has been reported and EA doesn't know how to support their fucking studious. Too busy giving money to FIFA and broken Madden games.
Hey man laugh all you want, I just feel like Andromeda had a decent enough story but with a cliffhanger ending and lots of potential. Whereas the original trilogy, while amazing in its story, already has multiple definitive ends and I feel like any sequels to it wouldn't be as good as an Andromeda sequel
Yeah I'm not going to get excited for a new game until I see footage.
And then wait for reviews.

"We gave you three terrible choices. You don't want to pick one of our three terrible choices? Here's a fourth one, lol"
God I loathe ME3. Every single bit of goodwill the series built up was OBLITERATED by that miserable endgame. Like the writers literally going "fuck you for putting in effort playing our games".
No, they released it on PS3 with the Trilogy edition. I've played it and I own it.
I want to put a guess that SOMEHOW Garrus will still have ultra low res textures in the remaster of Mass Effect 1.
Sure, I know. It underperformed critically, but did fine financially. I remember it having bad legs though or something. It's more a combination of these things; not quite meeting the mark of the trilogy, in addition to other issues at BioWare and other project failures. AFAIK there was intention to make more of the Andromeda story, and EA ultimately wanted to pull the plug on the whole thing.
So I think the cynicism was a response to all of these factors combined; Andromeda's future cut off at the knees (both sequels and DLC), alongside BioWare's floundering. These games cost a lot of money and time to make.
The best part for me is a new Mass Effect in development.
Remasters are nice, but I've already played all of them multiple times. 3 times at least, even the 3rd one.

i hope it's more than just the originals with HD mods slapped on top. i can do that myself for free :/
