So, I don't get EA/Bioware. You have a fan base eager to throw money at you Tupac style, and you won't issue a remastered trilogy because you want to focus on new. Ok, that argument would fly if you didn't say that you scrapped a whole new IP, about three months ago. If your pushing DA:I, cool, I'm good with that but DAMP is junk and DLC beyond Hakkon is neither planned or announced soo.....what were you saying. You have the manpower and the time, before MEA, just roll the cost of at least a trilogy re-issue into the publicity column for the bean counters and you win in all areas. Happy fans, plenty of positive pub, and who knows if you keep the microtransactions in ME3 multiplayer you earn back even more coin. Win, win, win. Look nobody is asking you to spend 500 million on a game, because who in their right mind would do that! Wink,wink. But if titles like Uncharted, and God of War, can get remasters, and with all respect I'm sure their fine games, but neither of them has been as ground breaking to the industry as ME. To not give us the old trilogy or some kind of immulator for next current gen consoles is just a bit of a misstep that needs to be looked at.

If you own an Xbone, you'll still get to play Mass Effect on it.

You're severely underestimating the value Uncharted and God of War have to SONY, not the industry.

 

As for ME1-3 remastered, I'm sure you know more than a company that wants nothing else than to wring every dollar from you. ME isn't particularly ground breaking, either. It's notable for two reasons: the naked alien sex controversy at release, and the whole "you can import saves, things matter" which was, in the end, a failed experiment to most people.

They were looking at a remaster, but the rug was kind of pulled out from under them when Microsoft announced backwards compatibility. You'll notice that BioWare's official "we are no longer looking at doing a remaster" announcement came right after Microsoft's announcement that XBone would be backwards compatible with a software update.

 

There's not much point in remastering a game for XBone if the original games work on XBone, anyway. You could do the remaster, but your potential sales will be much lower (most people won't buy a second copy of a game they already own that works on all their systems.) It makes sense that they dropped it, so I don't consider it a mistake on their part.

I have an Xbox One and am a preview member so I downloaded Mass Effect onto my console but have yet to play it. It'll work just as it did on 360, and I don't want a remaster of it or the rest of the series. I don't even think its necessary in the case of ME2 and ME3, they aren't super old games.

 

Besides, I'm personally tired of remasters. I'd rather time be dedicated to new titles instead of turning the 8th generation of gaming into a glorified 7.5th.

 

We can do without games for a few years from Bioware. There's DLCs, there's other games, there's plenty else to do.

[The Elder King]

A DAI dlc Seems To be At least planned.
Bioware doesn't hafe the manpower to do the remaster. Montreal is busy with MEA, Edmonton is divided between DAI, MEA and the new IP, and Austin is working on TOR (and possibly on the new KOTOR).

[AlanC9]

I don't see the case for a remaster unless they go full GotY and include all the DLC. That would probably sell. But EA seems to figure that they're better off not training us to wait for the DLC sale.

[Queen Skadi]

I don't get why so many people buy into re-masters of last gen games especially considering how little current gen improves on last gen, unless it is a re-make of the original Deus Ex (a game that both needs and deserves a re-make) I have no interest in re-masters.

 

I can get how a re-mastered trilogy pack would be desirable to those who have not played the games, but for those who already own them I am pretty sure if you just boot them up on last gen consoles (or your computer) the experience won't be much different to a re-master, besides if you have an Xbox One who needs a re-master when you can just pop your old 360 disks in the slot?

[BloodyTalon]

At-least you got a time frame, and you know you all should be use to game release dates shifting by now or being in about this amount of time...

Its how the market one part work, the rest hype. I can wait in anycase and given my health may not be able to play the next anyhow.

[Dr. Rush]

If you're so desperate to throw money away at Mass Effect, then go buy a 4K gaming computer. Playing the ME trilogy at 4K resolution is going to look 1000x better than any remastered version they make. And you can go out and do that right now, you don't have to wait.

 

Or, you can wait. Those are your options.

[canarius]

I couldn't agree more with the op. Well said!!!

The ME games are not demanding.

 

They will still look and run much better than the PS360 versions on a budget build as well.

you are both severely overestimating how much ME made in the dollar department and seriously underestimating god of war and uncharted, that said just because things havent been announced doesent mean those teams are not working on anything teams work 2-3 even 4 years on a game before its announced, you have very little market research other then " me and my friends would buy it"

 

your making alot of assumptions do you know what biowares budget is? do you have market research to back up any of your claims? do you know how much a remaster of all 3 games would cost? do you know if any data has been lost that would need built? how much profit it would make per million copys sold and if it would even reach a million? and do you know they have developers just sitting around drinking coffie getting paid? because i know the answer to that last one no company pays employees to sit on their collective asses people get moved around yes but they are busy probably in crunch to make some trailer for one of the 10 conventions we still have left this year

[Stakrin]

I'm alright with hoping they are putting forth full effort into ME:A and possibly a keep-like system.

Yeah seriously.

 

The Uncharted trilogy has sold 21 million copies on a SINGLE platform and is Sony's console flagship series.

[pdusen]

DLC beyond Hakkon is neither planned or announced soo.....

 

...I'm sorry, what? Exactly what are you basing this on? Twitter chatter makes it quite clear that DAI work *is* still being done.

 

You have the manpower and the time, before MEA, just roll the cost of at least a trilogy re-issue into the publicity column for the bean counters and you win in all areas.

 

That makes no sense. The manpower and time you just mentioned is *for* MEA. They aren't just sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for Holiday Season 2016.

[Andrew Lucas]

Or, ya know, they could hire another studio to handle the remaster like most companies seems to be doing.

Ok, not for nothing, but that is a very cynical way of looking at the trilogy in that one...but whatever on that.

 

As to why...well, they are working on Andromeda and another I.P. So honestly...if they do a HD remaster, that would be a project that actually takes away time from you. 

[N7Jamaican]

EA is the publisher..  I don't think they own anything BioWare does aside from the rights to publish and distribute the game.. In return BioWare has access to resources.

 

Could be wrong. But EA could say they want ME1-3 remastered, but I believe BioWare can say "NO."

[wright1978]

I'm very happy they are focusing their attention on a new game rather than messing about with a pointless remaster.

[Tootles FTW]

In regards to a remaster, I don't know if I'd want to go through the rollercoaster of dubious quality that is ME3 again.  

 

Gun to my head I will still call ME my favorite game series, but some palates are best left cleansed for a new taste.  I hope they take all the time they need and then some more.

[wolfsite]

They are damned if they do damned if they don't.

 

 

If they did do a remaster people would complain that they should be putting all the money and effort into the new game and not just re-release an existing product.  Then people would just complain if they alter or don't alter something.  Then people would complain saying they didn't put enough effort into it.  So there you go.

BioWare like DICE is owned by EA.

 

They were purchased outright in 2007.

[GreyLycanTrope]

I never understood where the idea that they were remastering anything came from to begin with.
