Yes, that's what I was talking about.  The listing mentioned that working on the game would require mastering a proprietary game engine.  Mass Effect used Unreal, which is not a proprietary engine, which is what I was pointing out.  The fact that the job listing mentions working with a proprietary engine most likely eliminates Mass Effect as a possibility.

Halo 4 got the remaster treatment and that game came out after ME 3 if my memory is correct. I think ME 3 also has some technical issues that a remaster could help iron out.

Halo 4 is already on X-box ONE. I believe you mean Halo 3. Its graphics were never updated. It was just a port over to next generation with a few patches and better load times.

Ah, okay!

Someone said it before, but I reckon it's Uncharted too. TLoU Remastered Edition was extraordinarily successful for Sony and I bet there are millions of PS4 owners who have never played the games on PS3.

The contract jobs mention developing a remaster for "a current generation console", not consoles, and ME would surely be crossplatform.

Finally, the effects artist position focuses a lot on particle effects, which seems a bit weird to me if it is Mass Effect. I haven't played Uncharted, but from what I hear it's full of smoke, fire, water spray, dirt, dust, sand, etc.

...and if they are remastering the games in Frostbite?  Are they "required" to use Unreal Engine 4?

The listing also, in the left side, identifies PS4 and Xbox One.  So there is a typo somewhere, either in the main text or the listing on the side.  But how do we know which one is correct?

Rumorville says there is version of ME3 running on Frostbite, I'm inclined to believe it assuming they were just testing things and trying the engine out. But I doubt atual remaster would include porting all 3 games to Frostbite

what?

[NM_Che56]

oh. and to add

No, and it's pure assumption that the remasters would be done in Unreal based on the fact that the games were originally done in Unreal 3, which is why there is still room for doubt.  Although I'm not sure if Frostbite would be considered a proprietary engine or not.

 

That's why I was suggesting it may be Uncharted rather than Mass Effect, because those games were done on a proprietary, in-house game engine that Naughty Dog uses for Uncharted and little to nothing else.

 

But it's all just speculation.

[shepskisaac]

what?

Would be nice, but I don't have much faith in EA giving remaster budget to do engine swap. Imagine ME trilogy with Frostbite lightining though mmmm :3

Frosbite would be, but there's no way they are remaking the ME games on Frostbite (and shinobi has confirmed that there's no ME3 version running on Frostbite).

 

The only reason to say "not Uncharted" would be that the XBOne is listed.

I still love the idea of a remastered edition. However, I somewhat doubt that Mass Effect 3 would undergo a remaster update. It is only three years old. They could fix some bugs and glitches, add a bit a dialogue, add some weapons, armor, and maybe even more areas, but Mass Effect 3 will likely be just a port over to next generation.

Mass Effect 1 and 2 will probably get the major updates and upgrades.

Either way, I still would love a remastered edition for the first three. Please confirm it BioWare... please.

 

Nothing to do in ME3 you say 

 

 

 

Coming from a PC player, I sincerely hope that they at least reach a true high resolution for all textures and give the graphics a major boost. Not that ME3 was an ugly game, but with the new consoles, can I at least hope for 1080p/60 FPS with some upgraded textures? After getting some high resolution texture packs for ME3 and ME1 on PC, it's quite difficult to go back, and honestly it makes the experience much more immersive.

 

I don't know if any of you were around before ME3 released, but I clearly remember that somebody had asked Chris Priestly (a former mod here on BSN) if high resolution textures were going to be included in ME3 for PC via a separate download akin to DA2.

 

He said not to worry, since high resolution textures were going to be included in the actual game 

 

Let's try to make that statement a valid one this time, and for the whole trilogy. Can't wait to see all the games upgraded and beefed up 

[Larry-3]

Mass Effect on the Unreal Engine 4.

[Linkenski]

Meh, if Arkham Knight looks as good as it does in those trailers on either PS4 or XB1 then I don't care if they update ME Trilogy for UE4, because AK is running on UE3 and it's one of the sexiest games I have seen so far.

[Morphone]

As odd as it may sound, I care more about replaying a remastered version of the Mass Effect trilogy on my PS4 or XB1 than I do to play ME4.

 

Back in early 2009, I remember receiving an email from Sony Santa Monica which contained a link to a survey regarding the up and coming release of God of War III.

 

Basically, they were asking us multiple choice questions about what we thought they should include in a limited collector's edition of GoW3, and one of the options was to include God of War I and II alongside part III, which I immediately chose.

 

Anyways, fast forward ~3 months, and I noticed an article which claimed that God of War I and II has officially been confirmed as a remastering of both PS2 games for PS3, and that it would be released near the end of the year in North America, and I was extremely excited afterwards.

 

And although I recall having to leave EB games empty-handed because it was sold out, I picked up a copy the day it came out (November 17th).

 

I am literally holding my freakin' breath in the hopes that the Mass Effect trilogy will be confirmed as heading to PS4 and/or XB1.  For me, it's a priceless experience in video gaming that would be made even more so with an upgrade in relation to its graphics in general.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited and anxious to play ME4 as well, but I continue to find myself daydreaming about the possibilities of experiencing the original trilogy remastered on generation 8 console hardware.  And I bet I'm not the only one.

...and if they are remastering the games in Frostbite?  Are they "required" to use Unreal Engine 4?

It took them years to recreate Dragon Age Inquisition in Frostbite, why on earth would they try to do the same thing for three Mass Effect games? There's no way they'd be rebuilding the games in a completely new engine.

Why would they even use UE4, instead of just using the same engine but with higher-resolution textures and more detailed objects?

[Eterna]

I honestly can't believe it hasn't been announced yet. 

[ZipZap2000]

I honestly can't believe it hasn't been announced yet. 

 

Just a little concrete info like "We can confirm it's under way" is all i want. Arrrrrrgh!

[KotorEffect3]

It would be nice,  I think there is enough demand for it that they can justify doing it.

[InterrogationBear]

There is always the danger of franchise fatigue. The trilogy has an intimidating amount of content (at least 100h) for the average gamer. Most people might not finish a remaster or burn out on Mass Effect a few months before ME:Next comes out. I doubt EA wants to risk that.

[Matthias King]

Frosbite would be, but there's no way they are remaking the ME games on Frostbite (and shinobi has confirmed that there's no ME3 version running on Frostbite).

 

The only reason to say "not Uncharted" would be that the XBOne is listed.

 

There's a discrepancy there.  The title of the listing lists both the PS4 and the Xbox ONE, but the actual content of the listing specifies that it's for 'A' next-gen platform.

 

No one can be sure which is correct, but I'd wager that the body of the listing is more accurate than the title.  The title may have had some obligatory elements, whereas the actual content of the listing was probably written very specifically.  But that's just as much speculation as the rest of it.

 

So if it's actually multi-platform, then ME is a possibility.  If it is indeed a single platform, my guess would be either Uncharted on PS4, or a Gears of War collection for Xbox ONE.

 

I hope it's not Gears, simply because then I'd have to buy an Xbox ONE.  I already own a PS4, so bring on the Uncharted.
 

[CronoDragoon]

Well, according to this it's not Gears. I agree that the content is probably more accurate than the title, and that an Uncharted collection isn't unlikely in any case, so it might as well be this.

[Matthias King]

That's a shame.  I'd like to see a next-gen remaster of the Gears series to go along with the new one that's eventually coming out in the next couple of years. 

 

Honestly I'd love to see Mass Effect and Uncharted both remastered for next-gen, or I guess current-gen technically.

 

I want Uncharted partly so I can replay them with a good controller, finally, partly to experience the enhanced visuals (those games are stunning, so seeing them even better would be a real treat) and partly so I can eventually get rid of my PS3 instead of having to keep it around alongside my PS4 just for the small handful of games I have on it.

[Cheviot]

You know what I hope it is?  The MGS series ported to next gen.  Bluepoint games did a version for last gen, but if they did a complete version, with MGS 4 and Revengence all together for this gen, it'd be the perfect run-up for The Phantom Pain.
