Tbh, I wouldn't even mind if they re-used a lot of the old sound effects/voice sound files from ME1 (and maybe added some new ones, perhaps) in order to save on Ye Olde Moneys!
It's most likely a Pipe Dream of mine, but I'll keep on wishing...

starlitegirlx, I think the idea of remaking ME1 would be to fix its flaws and make it play much more like 2. At the same time they could fix 2 by putting in some of the ME1 features that they dropped, e.g. inventory (just one that was easier to manage).
Mass Effect 3 has not happened and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what it's like when it comes out.

The hate for ME3 is absurd.
I mean...it's one thing to have an opinion on the game...as I personally love it and think it's the best of the three...
...but it's ridiculous to bash the game every chance you get even in threads where the topic is not about ME3 at all.
To each their own I guess.

ME3 is horrible. BW sold its soul on how far they removed it from ME1. Maybe you like it just as so many others who like hardcore fight style games, but going back to ME1, it was never meant to be a shooter. There were shooters out back then, much better than ME1. So it's clear that was not what their aim was. However, after ME2 was liked because it became more of a shooter, they likely decided to sell out and make it something akin to Halo. For ORIGINAL ME1 fans (given we have a lot of fans who came on board in ME2 or just ME3 for the fight style) got the shaft. Maybe some ME1 fans like it because they've been living on shooter games (a market that there is overflowing, new ones coming out constantly) for years. ME3 would have been fine to keep in line with 2 at the very least.
Plenty of extremely successful non shooter games out there prove BW didn't have to ruin ME3 by turning it into the shooter game it is. Prototype and Assassins come to mind. They sell very well.

At considerable risk of being flammed to a crisp, I pose this question:
Would anyone anyone have paying interest in a Remake of Mass Effect One to update it to the ME 2 gameplay mechanics? Before you grab for the flamethrower, please understand that by suggesting this I am not trying to denigrate the quality or style of ME 1... however, I feel that ME 2+ME 3 being built on the same principles and engine provides a unique opportunity to revist ME 1 and synchronize it with the other two.
The cost would be pretty low since 100% of neccisary VA work is already done and 90%+ of the dialogue sequences can essentially be used as-is. I feel that an unchanging gameplay mechanic is the only way to make epic, 3-game playthoughs truly "feel" right. The pacing and style of ME 1 doesn't IMO blend well with the same in ME 2/3.
Whether you favor one or the other style, to me it feels clunky to adapt back and forth. A remake edition would also allow for minor touch-ups to the game in graphic tech etc (remember the texture pop-in on the cutscenes.) The elevators and point-and-click galaxy map are fine left alone. Such a remake as I am proposing would focus on synchronising the feel of COMBAT across all three games and streamlining out the more cumbersome ME 1 mechanics.
The only thing I can see that would be troublesome would be the MAKO random worlds. These would have to be replaced with from-scratch ME 2-styled sidequests. Otherwise MAKO sequences in the missions can be cutscened etc. However ME 2 style sidequests don't seem TOO expensive to make, and they could even forgo unique dialogue for them in favor of the stock ME 1 text-bubble sidequest backstory presentation.
I, for one, would definately offer loving support (and my purchasing power) to a tasteful ME 1 remake. Revisiting the original game story with a the modern game mechanics wouldn't be very expensive and would make for very smooth and satisfying 200 hour trilogy playthough experiences.
The question is, how many of YOU would support it? If enough of you do I could actually see it happening. Voice your support or fire the flamethrowers!
Jeez, mate, lighten up. I was being tongue in cheek, hence the winking smiley. As to why I mentioned ME3 at all, note that I was responding to a post which touched on ME3, albeit in passing. My answer didn't address that part at all so I just threw a jokey and slightly self deprecating line on the end that nobody would take literally, but would explain to starlitegirlx why I didn't do her the courtesy of a complete reply. If my intention had been to bash ME3 again I'd have written a text wall or two on all the story elements that are senseless and immersion breaking to the point of making me literally laugh out loud in a couple of cases. A one line mention with a smiley is not a bashing.Spectre David Shepard wrote...

All three games use exactly the same engine: Unreal Engine 3. Agree with you about the film grain though. I guess it was meant to add atmosphere or something but after a few playthroughs I turned it off and found I preferred it that way.Tonymac wrote...

I would buy ME1 if it were in the ME2 game engine. I thought that the ME2 engine was better then ME3's engine, in all honesty. Characters in ME3 just didn't look right.
ME1 does look pretty amazing with the film grain feature disabled though.
