I just played ME3 on X cuz I never finish it only 2 and 1 could not play in anymore on X360 since the fps was like 10-12 and I got that one on X also still some fps drops but much better and I had a blast with both of them now I was thinking to replay ME2 with my import save from ME1 then 3 again but will do that another time , now I play Dragon Age Inquisition GOTY I got it for like 6$ for PS4 going to finish it on nightmare. (So yea I would like to get a remaster for the series to be at least 1080p or even 4k on X or Pro at 60fps!!!).

Thats because Bioware, as we knew it, doesn’t exist anymore. EA have destroyed it.

No question. Do any of the same people even work there?

Anthem? Mass Effect Andromeda. New games & IP's always turn out really well over at Bioware.
...
To be honest Mass Effect trilogy needs a proper next gen remake, not a remaster, with all the DLC & all 3 games featuring seamless gameplay & visuals from start to finish. They can even expand on some design aspects using the power of the new consoles.
A bit like Final Fantasy VII Remake, or Resident Evil 2. It would be a good way for Bioware to start its path towards redemption + success, & not liquidation ala Visceral.

If all we have to look forward to are more Andromedas and Anthems, then sure.

Never played them, so I would love to see a remaster/remake for next gen.

I don't play remaster of games I have already finished. So I wouldn't want it.

Highly unlikely all games were ported to frostbite. The amount of work that wouuld require is...a lot considering a lot devs hate working with Frosbite. This is fake and they didnt announce shit at the last event and for somehting to release this year, as much as I'd love a remaster of all 3, I'm gonna have to say, the trilogy wont happen anymore. Something happened or it was never truly 100% confirmed but we just assumed it was.

Not a remaster but either a remake or just a new trilogy.
I want to be surprised by the story and the characters, not see the same again

I understand mentality of wanting the same thing over and over because past glories are comforting known quantity while future is always uncertain, but new games are what keeps this industry moving. Just because corporations are risk averse doesn't mean gamers have to be.
Remember that everything you love from the past was once a risky new IP, and there will be more in the future you love but haven't played yet. What you know isn't all there ever willl be. Embrace the unknown, just as you did with what you now love.

Tbh I played the originals last year and they still hold up just fine.
Remaster of Mass effect 1-3 would be really great.
Remaster of Knights of the old Republic 1 & 2 would also be great.
But I also wait for Andromeda 2 or at least an Andromeda DLC that finishes the loose ends in the story. Yes it was bugged and had some strange moments, but the atmosphere was great. Really liked it. Wasn't the best mass effect, but still good. Even the bugs didn't break the game for me.

I REALLY hope that info above is fake. I don't want the games on Frostbite with remade feelings and shit. That totally removes the point of the originals. I just wanted the original games with their PC equivalent settings at Ultra in 4k/60. Maybe a few touch ups and bug fixes here and there.
If you actually go to the trouble of making the game FEEL and PLAY different, then that seems like a massive missing of the point to me...?

In some ways this sounds good and some ways not so good. If it becomes similar looking to Andromeda then that's a meh, even though Dragon Age: Inquisition was absolutely fantastic in terms of Frostbite.
Hopefully, the Xbox Series X is going to upscale the original trilogy to 4K with its magic backwards compatibility feature.

Yes. Absolutely. ALL content. DA: Inquisition/Andromeda graphics at 4K/60
Perfectly acceptable to this gamer.

Andromeda looked great graphically though. It was better than Inquisition. It was the animations and faces that were wildly off. The environments and effects were all fantastic. I doubt they'd dare release anything close to Andromeda's faces & animations ever again. So if it is getting Andromeda-like graphics, I really have no worries.
I'm worried that they would ruin what made the games great by changing too many things.

Yeah, sorry, I really meant the UI. I am not keen on that at all in Andromeda.

This is describing more of a remake than a remaster, but this would be awesome if true.

Yes. Or just make it 60fps and 4k.
The one time EA needs to do something what everyone else is doing and they dont and say we make new games....
i want your old game more

What like Anthem lol.
Remaster Mass effect trilogy wont cost more than 10% of making a new game / new ip.
It doesnt effect making new ip

Yeah, that's the only thing that irks me. I would've found it more believable if it was Unreal Engine 4 instead, as I imagine the transition from UE3 to 4 to be less fucked than from UE3 to Frostbite.

Porting to Frostbite means that this is fake news, or EA has made one of the dumbest decisions ever.
masterkajo

It is fake news. I know an actual QA for Mass Effect Trilogy and he says it is not Frostbite.

Just give me unaltered versions of Mass Effect 1 & 2 on Switch.

Dead Space is already ridiculously gorgeous considering the time it came out IMO (they utilise some very clever lighting) and I imagine if they spruced it up a little with modern standard HD textures and the like, that it would fit right in as a current-gen title. The gameplay mechanics and presentation honestly wouldn't need to be touched IMO. It was pretty much the benchmark for those areas in the survival-horror genre back then and the whole thing is still a super smooth playthrough to this day.
It reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus in the way that you could release it with modern standard visuals during any generation and I still think it would review favourably. Capcom was really onto something with the RE4 formula because it holds up remarkably well.

Yes, I highly Doubt EA can make another decent ME game. Bioware is a shit studio now

Tag, you're it.
I'm not "holding out" for a remaster, but I have to say that the ME trilogy in Frosbite with some adjustment (more open gameplay on planet with some new quests, armors and weapons for example) would be very very cool to see.
And since EA doesn't know how to do good games anymore, i'd rather see a remaster than the rape of another IP.

If it’s a smooth 60fps on console? Absolutely.
If it’s just a Ubisoft/Bethesda style port with updated resolution? Hard pass.

If Mass Effect remastered looks anything like the Burnout Paradise and Crysis remastered than why do they even bother there is barely any difference.

I bought a brand new Mass Effect Trilogy copy for the 360 at a cheap price.. If EA doesn't want too, screw them. I'll play them on my One S at least.
You, Sir, are correct.

I read some awesome fan fiction theories on the ending of Mass Effect 3 after the shock of the ending came out. If they included some of those endings, I would say sure... But if nothing is changed then focus on a new story line.
