I think the chances of this launching on Game Pass are slim. EA never puts their new releases on EA Play, and for Microsoft to score this deal, they would have to spend a lot more money than it would be worth for them just to have the trilogy on Game Pass. They're probably already paying tons to include EA Play.

I doubt Microsoft is paying a lot of money, Game Pass absolutely killed EA Play on Xbox. All my friends who had EA Play dropped it when Game Pass launched, so I think that EA was in a weak position to negotiate with Microsoft.

I've played so many times going into it thinking I should do a renegade playthrough, only to abandon it early on.
I just can't do it

The last time I tried to play ME3 full Renegade, I got to this part and just couldn't pull the trigger.

I'm annoyed that this would be a current-gen remaster at this point.

So dumb. I've been able to play this on my One X for forever..I'd much prefer a Series X level remaster.

No-show at the PS5 event even after that EA wink.

If it shows up at the Nintendo Direct tomorrow I'll be extremely baffled.

Not sure why anyone was expecting this to be announced today.

We've heard from reliable sources the internal plan at EA is announce and release in October, with the potential of a delay.

It was never going to be at the PS5 event. They were focusing on new PS5 games, not collections of older ones.

*shrug* We'll see tomorrow.

I thought it could have been in the Xbox one, but I never suspect it would be announced today. Although I must say that technically a moment of this presentation was literally a collection of older games. Including a remaster from the PS3!

Slighly joke aside, I feel the odds of it being announced in a Nintendo direct to be... inexistent.

Yeah I really doubt it's gonna be there.
Would be cool if it was but I really wouldn't expect it

Got it. Still, even grabbing that from the PC trilogy box art (and masking out the background of that box) is more work than your inventory database drone would put into it if they were just inputting placeholders.
It's no work at all when the logo has been available without a background for years a google search away. (on Origin.com) :)

I cant see it being announced in the direct at all.

EA isn't buddy buddy with Nintendo. Would be super weird.

If these end up having no improvements over the PC version then I'll consider getting the collection on Switch.

If these get enhanced for next-gen, you think they could ray trace this shit? Last-gen remasters would theoretically leave a lot more elbow room for more extensive ray tracing you'd think.

I just really hope they do a proper remaster. The Kingdoms of Amalur one was so disappointing to me as someone who already owns it on PC.
I already have all 3 + DLC on PC, I'd be very unlikely to buy it again if it is just adding support for higher resolutions.

IF they drop a full blown, clearly high-effort remaster on us, with raytracing, high resolution textures etc, then I MIGHT be willing to part with cash for it, as they are my favourite games ever.

Yeah there were certain times where Renegade overstepped the boundary from a cold and calculated Shepard to Shepard just being a jerk for very little reason. They're still funny/interesting to watch, and god I appreciate that Bioware gave us the choice (*stares at Bethesda for the sarcastic trash "choices" in Fallout 4*), but I think reasonably very few players pick that route.

Because why, on earth, would you slaughter pure baby Mordin after this?

Ray tracing in 2 and 3 would look amazing.

Especially on the Normandy with all of the shiny surfaces.

too good of a chance to miss. only weird thing is that is a saturday.

also, i'm fully expecting to see this on the Nintendo Partner Direct today.
That would be great. Rumors said the announcement and launch were in October, but I also could see the announcement getting moved forward to be in a presentation that would get much more exposure than a random video drop. However, this being EA and Nintendo, I'm not too confident.
