Thanks!
I don't expect they will.
I preferred the extended cut ending above the ending it launched with, but it did screw with the pacing and tension in one of the last playable scenes in ME3's OG finale IMO.

ME1 remains my favourite, I think I have gone though it on 6 different occasions & I rarely replay games. I am kind of worried what they might do with it though.
While it could definitely do with QOL improvements I am worried they will strip out some of the parts that made me like it so much. The 2nd and 3rd game improved a lot in terms of combat and visuals but it would be a shame if some of the RPG mechanics were watered down in the first with this remaster.

As someone who spent Christmas completing and thoroughly enjoying Andromeda and is now currently half way through Dragon Age : Inquisition (having failed to finish the game 6 years ago on PC), it's great news they are showing us how this trilogy is shaping up.
I mean, maybe. But polishing up facets of gameplay that is still largely retained in its core essence but just so happens to play better is a lot easier to assess and implement than rewriting entirely new content that requires extensive production scope. One is making a game more playable, but not fundamentally redesigning it, the other is creating entirely new content.
While nice, remaking three enormous, content rich and high production AAA games from only a smidge over a generation ago would be an enormous undertaking and extremely expensive project that'd require a budget and team on a scale of an original AAA property. Not saying I wouldn't love it, but that's dream scenario and very unlikely.
Maybe in another couple of decades.
That depends how much they will change ME1... if it's just a superficial change, then yes, it's easier than reworking the ending. Yet that's not going to fix ME1. You do need a fundamental redesigning of its gameplay. And if they are doing that, I'd say it's possibly even more work than simply changing a few cutscenes here and there.
Then perhaps they are not fundamentally redesigning ME1's gameplay.
We'll see. But hopefully they are. I can't see ME1's gameplay becoming acceptable in 2021 without it.
Can't wait for this. I'll be happy if the game looks prettier and there is a few QoL improvements. The games are great otherwise.
I feel like if nothing else the graphics update might mean that characters designed in ME2 are portable to ME3 without looking completely wrong, as the original game totally ballsed that up. In a way how many bugs they fix might be one of the more interesting things. Will they make Conrad's quest actually work for example?
I'm sure I'm in the minority but I hope they sell these individually as well, I only liked ME1.
Honestly I hope it's simple and streamlined, I like these games but I don't want to have to mess around with NG+/Insanity again, once back in the day was enough
March 6th it's ME3 anniversary. 4-5 or 11-12 of march are good dates if they have the game ready.
Same here, I'd just be happy with a trophy list like with a lot of recent Sony first party games that aren't tied to the highest difficulty.
Insanity is honestly fine. There's only like few trouble spots and the worse offender is ME1. ME2 with a soldier, adrenaline rush and the Mattock is 100% a joke on insanity.
Let Shepard have sex with everyone, you cowards!
Saving the Universe, one steamy night at a time!
It's not that hard, it's just a slog I don't wanna bother with
I can't wait to play ME1 and ME3 again. I never beat 1. Or played ME3 after all the DLC, I hear it's much improved.
LOVED LOVED LOVED ME3 multiplayer.
A shame I can't use those classes and abilities again, at least I can use the weapons in the main game.
N7 Slayer Shep would be a dream to play.

What if they announce today that Mass Effect 3's ending has been revamped and now feature a huge final battle that makes sense story-wise and makes use of all the decisions and allies you gathered from the 3 games up until that moment?
My head would release such an amount of force that would probably cure Covid in the world.

Wouldn't get those games for a decade if they had to remake the entire trilogy from the ground up.
Personally I'll be happy just to play again with updated graphics/better loading times. There are a lot of things that could be improved (some vastly) but it won't be the same Mass Effect. Going through the trilogy again, warts and all, will be awesome.
Are they doing a "Mafia 1" style remake for ME1 + a re-master for 2 and 3? (or do we not know this yet)
Bare minimum I expect from this remaster:
- 4k 60fps
- Reworked UI
- Better AI (less "I will destroy you", "I will destroy you", "I will destroy you", "I will destroy you", "I will destroy you")
- More detailed environments
- Some planets are obnoxiously mountainous. I hope they rework that.

They spent additional time working on ME1 (to the point that it caused a delay) but we don't know what the details on what that means yet.
Edit:
Yes, but at the same time...
Horrible gameplay in ME1?
I loved the gameplay in ME1, solving conflicts with dialog options, exploring large environments, hunting for artifacts...unless you are saying that gameplay = shooting things.
The combat was beyond awful. Shame that in order for that to improve in ME2 and ME3, we lost the more "exploration" side of things which was quite fun (and honestly one fo the few things Andromeda got somewhat right IMO).
