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
If the Legendary Edition update games can surpass 60fps on PC without breaking, this is far from meaningless.
Would 120+ make that much of a difference considering how relatively slow paced they are? I honestly have no idea. I've just recently upgraded to a 144hz monitor myself, but rarely see a difference above 90fps in most games, and even then it's not as stark as going from 30 to 60.
Dont hold your breath. I'd be suprised if it's more than reworked textures and 4K upscaling. Maybe HDR? Doubt they're remaking the games in a new engine.
I've never played a Mass Effect but I'm sure they're the kind of games I'd love, so I'm hyped they finally announced a remaster. Really looking forward to being able to play them and see what all the fuss is about.
High framerates improve everything, especially action games.
Holy shit I did NOT expect a new Mass Effect. Is this Christmas already ? Love the vibe of the teaser screenshot! Well, I guess I can officially bury my hopes for a ME Andromeda 2, but I'll be very happy with any new addition to my favourite video game franchise.
I Seriously hope they have updated the controls and some game mechanics, particulary on 1, because I tried to play it recently and it was nothing but frustrating and I put it down.

Edited my previous post, and while I agree...the first game isn't really "action" in such a way that it would matter. I don't believe the series really gets to to that point until the third game. Before then, about the biggest benefit I could see would be for the Vanguard and potentially the Infiltrator or Soldier when using a sniper rifle. It's a pseudo cover shooter that relies on cooldowns.
Considering the ME3 MP uses lootboxes and is corporative focused I wish they would just release it as a separate F2P model as a way to promote the remaster and the upcoming game
Then again I'm biased I loved ME3 MP and put more time than I care to admit into it; andromeda never got anywhere close to grabbing me in the same way

I just want a Cowboy Bebop/Firefly influenced Mass Effect game. Self-contained plots in different planets, space dogfights, cool setpieces, and hubs. Let the player create a character and pick an alien race. Is that too much to ask for?
I'm not hyped about the Legendary Edition but I'm cautiously optimistic. ME1 is the one everyone and their mother is curious about. I put something like 200-300hrs into ME1 alone for all the achievements. But obviously, it's due for modernization since it hasn't aged well.
It's a shame the MP is being excluded from the collection. It was crazy addicting. I pumped $10 into a Premium Spectre pack but that's it. EA would have been rolling in money if they included it.

Yes, this please.
There were a lot of weird choices in ME3 regarding the villains, if i had to guess id say it was due to the time constrains.
If you're referring to that patch they made afterwards, no that is insufficient.
Sorry, I can't argue how a high framerate doesn't benefit a 3rd person video game with constant movement. It's not even all about combat. You are constantly walking/running around environments and moving the camera. The temporal resolution is always a factor.
It's silly to even debate this. High framerates improve every genre on the market outside of maybe visual novels. I play Slay the Spire at 240Hz on a 240Hz monitor, and even that is amazing because the fluidity of moving the mouse and the cards is off the charts.
There's just no reason to not want HFR in everything.
How this art shows anything? There's just no reapers on art, that doesn't mean anything
That's it? Not even at least a screenshot of the remastered version?
Like i said in the other thread i really would have loved for this to be more than a simple remaster, but hopefully it is worth it.
And they better included controller support on PC and give us the canon Femshep design from the first game on.

I don't think this is a problem to port the game to UE4. Also porting the game to UE4 is more clever solution. You know why? PS4 has issues with UE3 and its old techs so some games that were UE3 back then were ported to UE4 by their own makers to be able to run PS4 smoothly like Vanshining Of Ethan Carters Mind: Path To Thalamus. They can just port the whole game and UE4 will accept and the games even profit from better lighting automatically without doing so much work, let alone if they want to add more stuff.
Great news! I know the new Mass Effect is years away but I'm glad to hear it exists. To great of a series to abandon. Andromeda was a decent entry but I hope to go back to the Milky Way.
Too bad about ME3MP exclusion. But, it is what it is.

Nah, id say its the first contact war, that ship looks too bulky, too Expanse-like.
That or they made the destruction ending (with some tweaks) canon and technology regression hit hard.
I am guessing when the next Mass Effect is released, we can provably play it in PS5 Pro on release date.
A prequel would be a mistake, it's needlessly limiting instead of giving a clean slate to the new devs. Moreover, you can see a salarian.
It really is a bad tease, they could of just focused on the remaster. Whatever the next Mass Effect is will be at least 5 years away.
If I had to bet, I'd say the new game they are working on is a sequel to Andromeda.
Understandable, 2020 BioWare is not 2010 BioWare.
So is ME1 going to get the Mafia 1 treatment and get an overhaul? Because while it's my favorite game storywise in the trilogy, it's also aged the worst.
Their wording "all single player content" worries me a bit, are they not including ME3 MP? It was probably my favourite MP mode last gen so that would be an absolute crusher if they cut it. My brother and I have been looking forward to playing it again for years while the rumours have been around
