Either way having those classic titles in a more modern version is a good thing.
yeah.... I'm getting this without question on Day 1 unless it's totally broken, but I'd like gameplay ASAP so we can just rip the bandaid off and calibrate expectations properly :/
Were folks really expecting it to look next gen or something? I just wanted the original trilogy playable on modern consoles.
Exactly. The last thing I read about it made it sound like some legit time and effort was being thrown at this. But I have my doubts...I'd rather just know it's a bare bones remaster with higher framerate and be done with it.
March 12th puts it the same day as the ME3 release which is cool.
Although the 12th isn't Spring which is when they said it would release. Still, I hope this is true, it puts us just 2 months away

I mean, I don't think anyone is expecting it to look current gen. But they creat expectations when they say stuff like "It's been amazing to see the adventures of Commander Shepard take on new life in super-sharp resolution, faster frame rates, and beautiful visual enhancements"
If all it is an upres and framerate boost I'm not sure the secrecy around the trilogy is particularly warranted.
One of the retailers that leaked the western release date for Persona 5 Strikers is also listing Mass Effect for March 12:

I wonder if they worked some gameplay elements just a little bit (UI, mako in ME1 etc.) specially in regards of Mass Effect 1. Will they still use their own version of the Unreal engine 3 for the remaster too? so many questions on this remaster.
I don't think "secrecy" is the correct word here. It's a remaster, it's not going to have a long marketing campaign, so they're most likely saving it for when it matters: when people can actually buy it.
IMO the idea of having the three games looking as best as possible, even if they're not super great remasters, with all the DLC and in one package, is already really exciting lol
I think that's more an issue of fans getting their hopes up. I'm not sure how else they could market the game.
They've just deleted the mako entirely from ME1 and added planet scanning...you know...for consistency.
They also removed half the RPG upgrade options...for consistency.
Oh, and they've given your team stock armour and weapons so you don't have to manage their inventory...for consistency.
I hope this sarcasm is way off mark btw. I'd be pissed off of this is what they've done for the sake of unifying all the games.
Just moved into my new home. My 65'' 4K Sony is in the living room, where I don't want my PS5 and the only other TV I have is (barf) an ancient 32'' 1080p. I didn't sleep on this series for 15 years to finally play it on an old ass TV.
If the games are largely unchanged besides a graphical overhall/update, then I really don't have any interest in this collection either, as I can already play them from Xbox BC.
While I hope they games maintain what made them special, there's a lot of room for updates. Probably my biggest request would be a change to the Paragon/Renegade system in ME2 to be more like ME3 - as playing anything but pure Paragon/Renegade in ME2 blocks off signification options. I'd also be ok with combat being revised/updated a bit in ME1.
Are folks really feeling down on the quality of these remasters? I hope the visuals kind of wow us.
In remasters? Doubt. They are kinda likely to be below what is possible to achieve with mods with PC versions.
There are no rumors, this has been officially revealed.
PS4/5, Xbox One/Series, PC. No Switch.
All i want is Mass Effect trilogy on PC with official controller support. The games still look great on PC.
To be honest I don't really care if the upgrade is minor, what really excites me is that I'll finally have the complete experience in one "box"!
Rumors are 'no switch at launch' - so maybe a 2022 release?
there are forward compatibility improvements targeted for XSX/PS5
Dang! Oh well I'll still happily pick this up for the PS4. Hopefully my wife will have finished Red Dead by then.
I just want to see how the games look. If it's largely just resolution and performance bumps then I'm out.
My wish list. Not really expecting all this but I can dream.
- HDR
- 4K textures
- Ray tracing
- 120+fps support (currently aspects of the game break above 62)
- Support for higher fov without breaking cutscenes
- Higher poly models
- Upscaled prerendered cutscenes
PC also needs the games to not break above 60fps. Give me that and I'm good.
