They haven't even announced a date. The delay is because an Insider leaked it.
I'm glad he owned up to it, though.

ME3 feels like its remembered mostly for the dumb ending but I maintain everything else about ME3 is fucking great.
Certainly won't deny the human models and textures have aged like hot milk on a summer day, but the alien NPC models actually hold up relatively well.
The gameplay updating has got me curious though. Hopefully the Mako will finally drive like a proper vehicle and not be chaos incarnate on the mountainous worlds.
Can't wait for the eventual gameplay trailer~
Gonna go ahead and address everybody angry that they're changing something:
*inhales* THE ORIGINAL STILL EXISTS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS ONE THEN JUST GO PLAY THE ONE YOU DO LIKE. REMAKES AND REMASTERS DO NOT MAGICALLY ERASE THE ORIGINAL. YOU ARE NOT OWED ANYTHING.
Christ. Same shit different thread. Can't wait to see what they do. Was gearing up to start another playthrough of the series, but I think I can wait.

I'm very much ok with the delay. With folks working from home with potentially 4K assets, etc, I say give them time.
Fingers crossed EA doesn't make too many changes to ME1. I know a lot of folks hate the jank--and I get that--but I hope they just smooth out the edges in terms of gameplay and graphics and not remake things. I absolutely adore ME1--warts and all.

2 and 3 specifically had better worldbuilding than 1, 3 especially with how well Patrick Weekes handled the lore behind the Krogan rebellions. Not to mention the RPG mechanics in 2 and 3 were deeper than 1 with 2 just offloading lots of the stat progression to the lab/armory.
Nothing worked well in 1 besides "ambition", Sovereign was a dumb loser the second he just started talking shit, and Saren undermined how interesting he could have been by just being about mind control the whole time.
I have other assorted issues with it but it's still one of my favorite games. Damn fine.
I tried to play ME3 on PC years ago and got bored. Other than that, I never played other ME title.. so I'm excited to give the series another chance.
The dumb ending was a dumb ending, not the first or last game to give an unsatisfying conclusion. That game is actually a lot better than the 2nd one, in my opinion.
ME1 is an old and clunky game since it's a very early attempt at merging RPG and third person shooter gameplay, but stripping it of its RPG combat elements isn't the correct change to make now (and imo wasn't then either)
i wish the internet had never learned the term "gatekeeping". how on earth does that apply here

This is good news because it confirms they are improving ME1.
Ill happily wait till 2021 and play it on my Series X.

Sounds great to me, ME1 is rough to go back to gameplay and load times are trying.
Also I never gave a damn about ME3 multiplayer so all of this sounds great.
Hopefully this does come to switch as I probably won't bother with a ps4/xs1/ps5/xsx port outside of gamespass.

I hated every second of planet exploration frankly, super glad it was ditched.
No offense but I can't imagine coming in to this series from anything other than the beginning. Hope you try it again and enjoy it.
As long as they don't put the cover shooting system of the second game into the first i don't think they could make the gameplay worse for me. The first game's gameplay might not be that great but is still way better than the second one's. Still haven't finished it because i always get bored of the awful cover shooting. Maybe they could make it more like Andromeda where the combat is more free form. Though i don't know how much work they really want put into this and it might be just too much work.
It still has my favorite gameplay of all of the games, I enjoy the combat the most in 3 and it has a lot of cool missions and moments during the story.
No MP?! I spent nearly 500 hours back in the day in this multiplayer, it was THAT good.
Please EA reconsider if you read me, keep it how it was it's fine!
Otherwise for the rest of the collection seems only good news

There have been three different listings for Switch version, "all signs" point to a Switch version.
Grubb's reasoning for no Switch version is that he knew what 7 games EA would bring to Switch in one year, so he said Mass Effect Switch should be at least a year away. But we already know that his list is false.
Said it in the other thread:
- Put ME3 Combat in past two games.
- Put back holstering in ME3.
Remaster done.

Also change the shit ending. 😁
No ME3 MP is a real disappointment. That multiplayer mode was just so much fun.
Losing MP for ME3 is really getting rid of a huge chunk of that game's appeal.

I'm gonna try it for sure. I hope this remaster version is good enough :)
It's an optional mode? Seems like a weird opinion to have.
Mass Effect 3's multiplayer was fantastic, I sunk so many hours into it back in the day
I hope they reconsider their stance on this whole "no MP" thing, a lot of people loved the multiplayer.
No, you could pay money for in-game currency that you could pay for boxes but since it was a cooperative horde mode, there was never a competitive imbalance.
I never spent a cent and never felt like I needed to.
I've got a soft spot in my heart for ME1 but yeah the combat is bad. Tried replaying it a few months ago but I didn't finish it. If they're going to bring the game up to par with ME2 then I'm all for waiting a bit longer. I just hope the additions are worth the wait.
And fix the Mako while you're at it.
