[Reddit Rumor] Someone claiming to be a QA tester at EA/BioWare describes the Mass Effect Trilogy remaster
- Thread starter Fiery Phoenix
- Start date
This reads like pure fan fiction.
They would essentially be remaking all three games. It would require extra motion capture, bringing back voice actors, additional artwork, extra writing, and porting all THREE games to a new engine. This would be a lot for just one game (like the Mafia remake).
All we're going to get are all three games with DLC and minor graphical upgrades and added graphical stability and I'm fine with that.
TLDR: I'd like it to be true, but it's bullshit.

I doubt this is true, but if it turns out it is then I definitely won't purchase. The changes to ME1 alone ruin a lot of what made it my favorite in the series.
I hope this is false. The weapons systems (automatically recharging ammo) is why Mass Effect 1 is the best game in the series. The ammo stuff was so useless in ME2 and ME3. Also, it sounds like they are mostly removing landing on planets, which I loved. That's what made Mass Effect 1 unique. Planet scanning is garbage.
Landing on planets with next to nothing on them was far worse than planet scanning. If this remake was actually real, them reducing the number of planets you can land in ME1 to just the ones that actually have unique or interesting shit on them would be a huge improvement.
Man, I'm still butthurt this bastards took their games off steam back then breaking away me finishing the ME series on PC.
If they bring them and do a decent job I might buy it but all sounds way too not like them tbh

Replacing the exploration with more planet scanning sounds so dumb. Going around on those planets in the mako was one of my favorite parts of the first game. Hopefully if they actually do revisit the trilogy its more of a remaster with only minor enhancements rather than completely changing shit up like this.
I disagree. If you landed on a real planet you'd see the same thing, nothing. Have you seen images of Mars? It's barren. Landing on the planets added an immersion to the game that was lost in ME2 and ME3. Some may have found it boring. I found it engaging. The galaxy felt BIG. I was hoping that they'd add a little more to do in ME2 and ME3 but instead they just decided to scale it back completely instead of actually doing the work to make it better.
Yeah, I read that they are bringing their catalog back to steam. Haven't checked myself (Haven't logged in), I'll have to make time to replay ME1 and 2 before getting ME3 though that been said it is like 10 yrs too late so it ain't the same lol
This is literally wishlist tier, and I want this to be true so badly...
...but there is no way it is legit. They would have to charge a significant amount to justify the level of work being described here across 3 games And the time it would take would have been pretty long. Do we even know how long this has supposedly been in dev for?

I find it funny how this is one of the most obviously fake 'leaks' I've ever seen and it still gets 7 pages.
People are so thirsty for a remaster of this series.

ME3 Multiplayer was a pretty good money maker. I tend to think this is BS too but it's somewhat plausible, although I am not sure 3 years is enough time for this team to get it all done.
I've been thinking the same thing.
Certainly the worst leak I've ever seen, yet people want to believe.
They'll still have javik as a $5 DLC despite being important to the lore in ME3.
I'm still mad at EA for that bullshit.

this sounds fake because they decided to include the bits about expanded areas and more NPCs in certain hubs and also more dialogue. I do not think a ME trilogy would be this expanded. It would be the same content and systems but with the textures and resolution and fps worked on.
Yeah this makes no sense to me.
If they port it on Frostbite and change the gameplay, that alone would be super huge and already be unlikely. They are not adding hours of new content on top of it too. This sounds like pure fanfic.
I expect resolution bumps, 60fps and maybe a bit of improvement on things like textures and the DLC included. Everything else would be amazing, but way too much work imo.
I'm just wondering what in the hell has taken so long for a ME trilogy? It should have been released 5-6 years ago when everything else was being "remastered"
Please be true, even without remade gameplay mechanics, just up the graphics and resolution and I will take it.
That's all nice but they say nothing about the multiplayer part of ME3. Is it part of the remaster at all?
The fight with Benezia is one that's done in tight corridors and is infamous for causing problems with getting stuck in the scenery. Why would they move the fight to an open area when they can just fix the problems as they port it?
Another indication that this is little more than a wishlist.

has shinobi dropped in about all those changes to the first game?
Really curious on this but no way they spent that much time changing it for a remaster.

Changing up the Mako sections of the first game to accommodate planet scanning instead? Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
Funny post though, thank you r/chan

This doesn't seem legit and I'd honestly be pretty bummed if it was. Please don't just delete everything out of ME1 because some people dislike it, I hated that they removed the Mako and instead do a weird planet scan mini-game for ME2. Also ME1 combat was janky but had some uniqueness and charm that I enjoyed (being exclusively biotic was an option for one).
....KEEP RUNNING!
and there you have it folks, mass effect trilogy is actually just a meatball sub you'll get in the mail 2 years from now
I mean the're aware that Andromeda and Anthem have hurt Biowares rep bad. I'm sure they're looking for a way to get that back. Releasing a crappy barebones Mass Effect port won't help with that.
I believe it's possible. They were voted the worst company in the world like 3 years in a row tho.
