So says the news article here: http://www.gamespot....e/1100-6423431/

 

So what do you think? What would you like?

 

I personally think it's a shame that "ME3 mechanics for ME1" is already written off. Just screams of a quick cash-in. Fact of the matter is I already own the games how they currently are, and a shiny skin won't make me re-buy the them. I understand the argument of "some people preferred it" but some people preferred different things, you may as well go balls out and find the best medium for consistencies sake. It's the most frustrating aspect of the ME trilogy for me; lack of consistency. 

 

Put the effort in and make a seamless game (as in, it's one game, not three stuck together) and then I'd be interested. Take the best aspects of each game and elevate those elements in the others to the same level. ME3 mechanically did a lot right in my opinion, while the side-quests were poorly handled, as an example.

 

ME3 inspired combat with weapon customisation sounds fantastic across the three games, and putting some effort into fleshing out the side-quests of ME3 sounds good too. Throw in improving the ME1 side-missions to include an improved Mako with better worlds, heck, trim them down so they're slightly more linear in the style ME2's side missions but with vehicle sections (better than Firewalker) and it could be amazing.

 

It's a pipe-dream I realise, but frankly I'm not interested in a "HD Remaster". I want a remake that actually binds the games into one with the best of three worlds. That would be a game worth paying more than full price for, I'd buy it for the price of three!

 

{EDIT} Apologies if this has been done to death, I've only just noticed the date of the article.

ME2 squad mates in ME3: that's my first and foremost priority. Happy ending and bossfight against Harbinger are distant second and third.

Rephrase the title to "remaster", not remake.

 

This pretty much confirms we won't be seeing a trilogy remaster terribly soon, though its reassuring that they're thinking about it.

 

Expecting a mechanics or content overhaul is wishful thinking.  They'll improve some textures and maybe make some audio changes, but don't expect modified level design or ME1 to have ME3's combat.  As he said in the article, a remastered trilogy would be intended to cater to fans of the whole trilogy, that includes people that preferred ME1's original design.

 

Connecting the games into a seamless experience without save transfer would be nice, but the one MUST for me is the inclusion of all singleplayer DLC, including pinnacle station.

I'm not going to lie.  Even if it were just a high res reskin at 1080p, I'd buy it.

Very old news, just in case anyone didn't see OP's edit.

I guess that's good news then. Maybe they're working on it.

The post on gamespot is from late 2014 though, it's not that recent. I guess most of us have seen this already. I've no idea how long it would take to do remastering on for instance ME1 but it doesn't necessarily take incredibly long seeing as they don't have to recreate the game from scratch, it's all there already.

Maybe, though if we don't get an E3 announcement I'm writing it off and starting another series playthrough. :P

How about ME2/3 with ME1 combat? More specifically no thermal clips (the other stuff can stay).

 

Failing that,

ME2 squad mates in ME3: that's my first and foremost priority.

is up there along with MP powers and the removal of the holokid.

This is from last year?  Oh, well then it could be in development at this point.  Could be we'll see an announcement this year, maybe even a release in late 2015.  If Bioware really is aiming for studio-wide yearly releases (As in, the franchises release on a rotating schedule so we get DA4 one year and ME5 five the next and new IP2 the year after) and we won't see ME:N until 2016, then a remaster could fill the sales gap.  Seems a sound strategy.

 

I'm assuming a remaster is doable in that timeframe, seems that it'd be significantly less work than creating a new game anyway.

At this point, i'd be fine if they give default Jane an unique look, instead of looking like those custom ones.

Include all dlc. If they do that, I'm sure a lot of people would buy. 

 

Change the dreams showing Harbinger trying to kill Shepard

 

during the Citadel dlc when Brooks call the characters in the room legends, have Shepard include the crew members that currently serve on the Normandy, the ones that served when dealing with the collectors including the ME2 squadmates. All of them are legends and not just those in that room

 

put Jack and Miranda on the Normandy so they can be in the memorial scene holding Shepard's nameplate

 

expand the breath scene

 

if refuse is picked show the Normandy being destroyed as Shepard looks on. Excellent.

I forgot about the damn dreams. Yeah, remove those altogether or whip up some new scenes for them where the LI or the most developed squadmates die horribly. Or maybe have them reference past fights (service record or memorable moments from previous games) except things go horribly wrong.

 

Or take a page from the Darkness 2:

https://youtu.be/I9vR3VfTbDw?t=10m18s

 

or even from MGS4:

and make us replay the first part of Eden Prime complete with ME1 era graphics and gameplay.

Why is no one capable of skimming the first page of threads? There were already 3 threads about this on page one.

Regardless of that ^ there's one more thing I would like to mention: I've seen people before who said that it should have been Miranda who went with Shepard to Cronos Station rather than EDI. I just played Cronos Station trying to imagine Miranda was there. It occurred to me that there are three or four moments where Miranda's presence and reactions I think would be very interesting: the conversation with Illusive Man, the confrontation with Kai Leng, the logs on the Lazarus project, and, in case Grissom Academy was skipped, the confrontation with Cerberized Jack.

 

I think those moments would outweigh the one excellent moment where Illusive Man points out that EDI took control of the robot body rather than destroy it. Ideally, I think Shepard should have the choice between taking either EDI or Miranda along...

Both Miranda and Jack would've been cool there. They're the two characters besides EDI and Shep very tied into Cerberus (and Jacob too, I guess... but whatever lol). They can both be mentioned there (or presented there) when you screw up, but can't when alive. These games are usually pretty good at alternative scenarios, but this one is a bit one-sided. It's even more ridiculous when you just SAW Miranda and she had every opportunity to get on the ship.

 

Hell, Cronos is the very place we first see her in ME2. It would've been fitting to go there again.

 

 

Something is wrong when me (a Jack fan) can even see this and defends Miranda's part in the story.

What's interesting about that, the hologram becoming the platform gained no new information about the device. There was no purpose for it. The thing was made a squadmate to promote the green stuff and give the pilot something to talk to during the game. It was better off as a hologram

 

Miranda had more of a reason to be a squadmate than the platform.

I think what annoys me the most is that basically the whole fleet is there with you once you hit Cronos. Every squadmate would've been available, technically speaking. Not that all would have good reason to go to Cronos, but it would've been nice to have them on Normandy and in our team on Earth at least.

 

It's just needlessly screwing some fans over... and for what? I don't understand. Is it some kind of petty "revenge" for the people who didn't have Ash/Kaidan in ME2? lol. I mean, I don't know. If that's the case, it's stupid to do that at the tail end of the series. At least you always knew Ash/Kaidan would come back, and that ME2 wasn't the last game. Besides, you don't correct a wrong by wronging someone else completely unrelated.

Miranda was also a high-ranking operative for Cerberus, folks. Fans of hers tend to forget about the reputation that the organization has, and how that would impact her place on the Alliance-led Normandy. Especially after it's revealed that Cerberus has been hit by indoctrination. I do agree that Miranda should have been a temp-squad choice on Cronos alongside EDI, though. She jumped through enough hoops to earn the trust at that point, and would have been a highly valuable asset.

I'm not on anything. I said, "I mean, I don't know".

 

Their choice here sucks enough that I'm trying to brainstorm what the motivation was. I know Iakus is someone who has hinted at thoughts like this though. Like he gets some satisfaction out of people feeling what he did. lol

Anyone have a copy of the leaked script handy? My impression was that EDI becoming a squadmate predates the green stuff, and Joker talking to EDI obviously has nothing to do with her platform.

How many people picked synthesis so joker and the edibot can be happy?

 

Joker seems more interested  talking with the thing after it became a platform. He wants to bake a cake, right? Would he of said that if it stayed as a hologram? Would he of mentioned to Shepard in purgatory there's no regulation saying he can't date the ship's ai?
