I'd be interested in a remake of the trilogy in one package that - while still an epic - curated the content into a more streamlined (consistent gameplay, as many fans dream of) and a largely abridged experience (largely to make it a realistic project with the content of 3 games in the fidelity of next-gen). Cut filler and put the standout side content along the critical path. Fully realize the Citadel from the bones of Mass Effect 1 (minus the elevators) and have that be consistent throughout this remade faux-trilogy. Essentially the AAA video game equivalent of an anime movie that retells an entire series in a theatrical runtime.

Also release a straightforward remaster of Mass Effect 1-3 w/ all its DLC for the sake of preservation and purists.

Or, fuck it, what do I really want vs how I think they're realistically gonna rehabilitate the series and fandom (remasters)? Something new that's worthy of 1-3. Maybe that's Andromeda 2 with bold rebranding or another tangential sequel.

- Get the first three games running on current/next-gen consoles.
- Include high-res textures, controller support on PC, accessibility options like the option to skip minigames. (These are all already available via mods on PC)
- Include all DLC.

I think this would be cheap to make and fairly popular.

Remaster first

Rewrite the ending so you don't write yourself into a hole and forget about Andromeda and start from there.

ME trilogy enhanced remaster complete with all the DLC and gameplay adjustment.
Continue or finish Andromeda story with a comic/novel.
New ME entry using one of the ending as canon.

Mass Effect 1 full remake and Mass Effect 2 & 3 remastered.

Then make another ME like those, and not like Andromeda.

Remaster the trilogy. That's the most I can trust BioWare, I completely don't trust them to make a good ME game anymore.

Seems like there should be a followup tweet, but there isn't.

How should Hudson's words be taken at this point? It feels like ever since he returned to Bioware, his public statements have been a lot of "We're listening and we care" while demonstrating neither and standing purposely oblivious to the bad press like the Schreier Anthem article. And how involved was he in the culture of Bioware Magic?

I've heard good things about the multiplayer in mass effect 3, but I never got around to playing it. If they aren't making a trilogy remake or don't plan to include the mp as well, might be nice if they remastered the mp and release it separately as some free to play thing.

Give the franchise to someone else and let them do a reboot.

The brand has so much untapped potential but BioWare just do not seem to have it in them anymore.

Wouldn't do fifa numbers and that's all matters to them

I mean, they are about to release two games that won't do FIFA numbers and they are constantly funding EA Originals titles and they don't even make 5% of FIFA numbers.

EA has a more varied library than Activision, 2K, Warner Bros and some people here think that they only make FIFA games lol

It's comical to me that EA hasn't even looked at the softball that is the Mass Effect trilogy remaster. Hell, they could probably sell the game remasters individually and get away with it.

To explain my head space I did worked there and internally fifa numbers is all that mattered to them

Remastering ME may have been an idea but I don't think they would waste their resources on it if the projected sale expectations wasn't good enough

I actually don't want a trilogy remaster... I want a full on remake with several improvements.

Never going to happen, though.

Trilogy on PS4 and then on PS5 as separate releases so I can earn the trophies again.
When you earn all three platinums on PS5 you get a trailer for Mass Effect 4.

Of course FIFA matters, just like GTA matters to TT and COD to Activision.

But saying that EA won't do other things because they don't bring FIFA money makes no sense when only in 2019 they released:

- Sea of Solitude
- Apex Legends
- PvZ Battle for Neighborville
- SW Jedi Fallen Order
- NFS Heat

What kind of question is this? They know folks want the trilogy remastered for PS4 or PS5, perhaps with 4k and 60fps. .. And they know folks want a new game in the franchise.

You can all begin starting with Mass Effect Remastered

... I could write a novel about what I want. I may just end up doing that and email them my carefully planned slide-show presentation.

But a bangin' Remaster of the Mass Effect Trilogy with everything included would be a good start.

Andromeda 2, with the hope that we see a massive improvement along the lines of Assassin's Creed 1 to 2.
