Uh, why couldn't they? Teasers arent hard to make.
Not only that who is to say they werent working on one and it wasn't finished at E3.

I seriously doubt that, since the film is likely dead and buried.

Yes please.
Is it? I think Comic Con would be a perfect time for a reannouncement.
E3 would have been a better place to show a teaser. If it was that easy to make, they would have prepared in advance for it to be ready in time for E3.

I doubt Jos would talk about "never before seen stuff" if he didn't mean the next ME game.
That's why I suspect it'll be a little about the new game, then transition to movie and comic book stuff, which will be the core of the panel.

You´ve got the PC versions to work with though.
They could probably turn this into a nice profit without too much effort.
It wouldn't be a "HD remaster" then, just a lazy port of the PC version, but with controller support. Don't forget that the PC versions don't even have better textures than the 360/PS3 ones, unless you use fanmade mods. It's basically the same thing as the 360/PS3 versions, except it runs at a higher resolution and framerates.

They could just use the "definitive" tag if they include all the DLC and call it a day.
I don't think they can include all the DLC. Didn't they lose the Pinnacle Station code or something, and that's why they couldn't port it to PS3?
Not that you'd lose much. It's not a very interesting DLC.

I don't. Who likes to be called "boring"?
It was funny though. New one also very cool of course. You & Nirolak are the stand out ME freaks to me.
EDIT: And shinobi602 of course!
So what chance do you give a trilogy remaster?
Yeah I suppose the point would be to finally have a collection of the ME3 DLC (which are all very good in their own ways and worth collecting).
Thanks. I guess?
Chances are near 0 i think. They could do it, but who have the time for this? Not Bioware Montreal, too busy with ME4. Not Bioware Edmonton, too busy with their new IP. They could give this job to some small developper i guess, like they did for the Wii U version of ME3.
If something happen one day, it will be the same thing as the 360/PS3 versions, except maybe at 1080p/60 FPS and all DLC included. But I still doubt they'll do it soon. We'll see after the Comic Con. If we don't hear about it after their N7 day in November, then forget about it.

Interestingly, Mass Effect Foundation 13 which is also the final issue is coming out this week. I guess a new comic series announcement seems most likely?

New Liara statue! Definitely looks better than the last one.
That definitely sounds like the announcement to make, then. Though I have to wonder how successful the comics have been for them.
I have never wanted a statue more badly in my life. Thanks for keeping the hope alive for of a complete collection Shinobi
I started getting into Mass Effect for real about a three weeks or so ago. Before that I tried playing ME1 twice, once when I borrowed the game from a friend but hardly played it and again last summer when I logged about 6 hours total. Anyway, I got into it properly this time around, starting with the first Mass Effect and have been playing it plenty since.
With ME1, I was really just interested in completing the main story so I didn't do many of the side quests at all. I enjoyed it anyway, found it reasonably fun and sunk about 22 hours into it.
Then I bought ME2 and just couldn't stop playing. I liked the crew (Garrus is my homie for life but Thane is awesome), like actually all of them, even the ones I didn't like at times like Miranda and Jacob. I had more fun completing the side missions that I thought I would have and was thus pretty well prepared for the final mission. I managed to get my entire crew through it, which was pleasing, as I was constantly second-guessing every decision. Loyalty missions were fun and intriguing. Kinda sucked Miranda turned into a bitch once I sided with Jack (I couldn't Paragon/Renegade my way through this mess). I have lots of good things to say about ME2. I think I spent roughly 35 hours on it.
And now I'm on ME3, about 12 hours into the game, I'm enjoying the experience, but it really feels flat compared to Mass Effect 2. The game is legit fun to play and all, but there's something about the atmosphere of the game that makes it feel a lot less fun than ME2. That ragtag crew ambience is missing. I hated working for Ceberus because it was obvious they're evil sons of bitches, but at the same time, I really enjoyed that part of the story. Now with my entire crew scattered in ME3, and hardly anyone of them coming back, the experience feels hollow. I also really don't like the redesign of the Normandy SR-2. It was supposed to be retrofitted to be better, but I think the previous design was much better. And another thing, I really don't enjoy the missions as much as I did ME2. They feel so much more like checklist chores now to boost my War Assets than for personal satisfaction on my own part. On top of that, ME3 doesn't feel like a full game because so much of the good stuff is tied to DLC - DLC I don't feel like paying for unless it's on sale.
I dunno, I'm only 12 hours into the last game, but I think it's 2 > 1 >3 for me in terms of quality of games.
I'm glad I finally jumped into the franchise for real though, it's been a blast thus far, all things considered, and I'm actually looking forward to this supposedly terrible ending that pissed off the fans.

Shocking that anyone thinks there will be any save transfer to the new saga from the original trilogy. That's a logistical nightmare. The new ones are unlikely to reference the trilogy with anything so specific and will likely take the route of having a canon start to create new characters while major common events from the trilogy may get some reference.
It's like some people think they are continuing Sheperd's story a very short time after the trilogy, so thus it should be their story and should reference if they slept with Miranda. Fact is, it would be awful for them to not pick a canon start of sorts over having to think of whether you kept Quarians alive, etc. the big stuff they need to have in the universe will get canon integration, the smaller stuff from Sheperd's story will likely not be relevant.
Like how much about Halo Reach did they include in Halo 4? Same universe doesn't mean specific relevance in sequels, folks.

Damn that statue is nice but 19" and $330, nope nope nope.
I wish they would license some Kotobukiya Artfx+ statues. Nice $40-$80 range. I find those to be the perfect size and price for my tastes and budget. I actually got the Liara Bishoujo, its not bad like everyone claims it is, they got rid of her giant tits. Kinda had hoped for a Tali Bishoujo too, but they seem to have abandoned that brand. Yeah, the stylization is a little wonky, but at least they were solid and affordable.

They could easily do what they did in Mass Effect and have the details that carry over be very minor, although you have a point because I guess if they are so minor there is no point in putting so much effort to making them carry over.
If they ever did a Trilogy for the new consoles, it'd be the easiest way for the save games to be designed to be forwards compatible though.
Or they could go the Dragon Age Keep route.

I'm starting to think we might be getting a soft reboot with ME4, with all the comments about it being "a different galaxy with certain similarities".

They like using that Mass Effect 1 music.
It's the best soundtrack of the trilogy, it's understandable.

Oh I agree! It brought up so many memories
Hearing it again almost made me want to start playing ME1 again for the 10th time(or some ridiculous number like that).
I am now re-addicted to MP3 multiplayer in trying to fill the time since the lull post destiny beta.
I quit playing right as platinum difficulty was released so there is a fair bit of new weapons/abilities to get accustomed to. (Collectors are kicking my ass right now, gotten used to the other 3 fairly quickly though.)
Having said all that, I finally unlocked the Turian Ghost Infiltrator yesterday...and these guys need to be in ME 4. They may be easy mode, but damn they are fun as hell to play.
Anyway, just wanted to contribute to ME lovefest thread. Hopping back into MP has rekindled those good memories from the trilogy and is getting me excited for ME 4. (Is it all but confirmed ME 4 will take place post ME 3?)

Here's something!
I don't believe I ever came across the Joker Citadel DLC bar story.

Saw this article on Dual Shockers just now and it pretty much confirms the next Mass Effect is next-gen only (which is great!) Also interesting that the rumored "Contact" subtitle for the next game was actually just the in-studio code name for the project.
I was already pretty impressed with DA:I's graphics but this is great news. Hopefully now that they're using the Frostbite engine we can get a good PC version, controller support and all.

I want Mass effect 4 to combine mass effect 1's exploration and mass effect 2's combat together. Also make a good soundtrack and an interesting new protagonist

Just stumbled into these retouched Mass Effect posters on my timeline, wanted to share with you guys:
Apparently they are retouched versions of these: http://imgur.com/a/43CIp
Is there anyone here that is a photoshop pro and can transform these into 1080 wallpapers?

I kinda hoped there'd be another closed door panel like the one last year.
Also amazing posters!

Game's way further now and probably at a point where such feedback isn't as directly valuable though.
Yeah the reason you missed them is because they aren't marked on your map, you just have to go to the bar in the casino and it will show you can talk to Joker and then Wrex.
