BioWare/EA want to cash in on some big bank? I know tons of people that are willing to buy an Xbox One and PS4 not only for Mass Effect: Andromeda, but for a remastered Mass Effect Trilogy release.  This is your opportunity not to only select a console to make an "exclusive" console, but to stand on a huge pile of money for re-releasing the game on XB1 and PS4.  Think about it!

Does anybody know if ME1 is on EA Access yet?  It's not listed on the app but it is listed in the store page as being included.  I've never played any of the trilogy on console and for five bucks I'll give it a go.

[N7Jamaican]

EA Access? I assume you have XB1, because it's known by a different name on PC.

Yeah I meant through xbox one.  I already have the games on PC.

Not on EA Access (yet), but you can play it on XB1.

Well damn.  I saw the option to buy it on the store page.  It's weird that it says it's an EA Access game in the subscriptions section.  Oh well.  Thanks.

I checked their EA Access page, where did you see it was available for it? Maybe it is and I'm missing something?

It's buried in there.  Store->Games store->Subscriptions-> Then scroll down halfway and it's listed next to the blue EA Access ad.  Right between UFC2 and FIFA 16.

 

This is through the xbox one dashboard btw.

Got to say I'm majorly disappointed with the lack of progress MS have made with backwards compatibility in general. Drip feeding has slowed down to a trickle and of the handful of tiles they release every month now 4/5 are xbla bollocks that 9/10 of people don't give 2 s**** about.

They've been promising bioshock games for what seems like 6 months and still no progress. They removed RDR and it was bloody faultless I played it for about 2 days without any problems. I'm hoping they've been stalling for e3 but It looks like they're not taking BC seriously because they can't properly montitize it.

[serviteur de femto]

Well maybe it has been said before but Ea needs to give their permission for all the 2 other mass effects to be backwards compatible, and with that much demmands for a remaster they might not want to give it that fast. Oh sure they said they are not intending to make a remastered but the words of a publisher cannot always be trusted.

I would love a remastered of the trilogy, as long as efforts goes into it, like the gunplay of the third mass effect in the first ME, 60 fps, new content like the palaven mission bioware wanted to make in ME 3 but were forced to cut it because of the deadline, a better final mission with the war assets could actually matter more than just changing the ending. That would make me buy this remasterd trilogy day one

Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Adds Support For Multi-Disc Xbox 360 Titles 

Hopefully that means Mass Effect 2 and 3, along with all DLC will be available soon (and bridge the gap until Mass Effect Andromeda is out)

Yay! Hopefully they come soon. I've been dying to play them again, but haven't the willpower to hook up my 360 again to do it.

[SKAR]

I can download Pinnacle Station but not Bring Down the Sky on xbone? Crazy seeing as i played Bring Down the Sky on my 360 and was never able to play pinnacle station(it downloaded on my 360 but couldnt play it).

there's a bug, for people who didn't know.

[Silvery]

Well since ME1 is backwards compatible I would imagine that ME2 and ME3 would eventually be. From what I have gathered it takes longer to make bigger, more advanced and recent 360 game compatible. https://xbox.uservoi.../status/1222798 The Bioshock games, Skate 3 and Black Ops have been announced as bc for a few months now but none have been released yet. 

[Hanako Ikezawa]

With them cracking this, I can see ME2 and ME3 being out within a few months since they were and still are highly requested games for backwards compatibility. I also wouldn't be surprised if Bioware and EA also do something akin to what Bethesda did with Fallout 3, making it a bonus for those getting Fallout 4. Maybe EA will announce the backwards compatibility at EA Play or Microsoft will at E3, like they did last year with ME1.

I have an interesting anecdote to share in connection with this. It's nothing revealing, but I thought it curious.

Last week, I had a phone conversation with a representative from EA Customer Support. (I was having issues figuring out how to download the N7 CE DLC after switching consoles. We eventually figured out a suitable backdoor solution.)

At any rate, he asked me if I had an Xbox One, since I could play the trilogy on my Xbox One. I commented that ME2 and ME3 were still listed as "upcoming" or "in the works", but weren't yet available. His response was, "Oh, they haven't announced anything yet."

I could be reading too much into his comment, but I suspected from his comment that the work might be finished, and that EA might be waiting to announce such. Maybe E3? Maybe later, like in a bundle with Andromeda? Who knows.

EDIT: Now I actually wonder if I shouldn't have posted this. My account is clearly linked to my gamer tag, which is clearly linked to my call. :/ I don't want to get the guy scolded. He was an awesome guy-- very helpful, cool to chat with and clearly a gamer himself.

[LightningPoodle]

Considering you are revealing what he said after the article made light of it, I don't think you or he have anything to worry about. It's just evidence to reinforce what is now already public knowledge.

[JoltDealer]

I hope that we see Mass Effect 2 & 3 as backward compatible soon.  I really miss playing those games.  Don't get me wrong, I love the original game, but the gameplay was so clunky.

I haven't read the more recent additions to this thread. I didn't realize that there is an article. And... there it is. Two or three posts upward of my own. Oops.

I don't think it would matter, anyway. Who would put so much effort into giving one good customer support guy a hard time?

EDIT: typos. Ugh

[von uber]

So you have to download patches and buy hardware upgrades. Explain to me the benefits of a console again? I understood it before (I even had one) but nowadays? Not so sure - especially factoring in the higher price of games and having to pay a monthly subscription.

[rapp123]

Microsoft just figured out multi-disk emulation so we could be seeing mass effect 2&3 coming to backwards compatibility soon.

[Element Zero]

So, I just realized that I have a very basic question regarding this process.

If I were to buy an XB1, would I need to repurchase the entire trilogy in that format? Or, owning it on XBox360, could I insert those disks as evidence of such and avoid shelling out presumably another $60?

I'm assuming I'd have to repurchase the new format, but I figured I'd ask, since I know some of you have played ME on your XB1.

If you own copies of the mass effect games on disk for the xbox 360 then you can insert them into the xbox one. ME1 is currently backwards compatible but ME2 and ME3 are not just yet.

[KirkyX]

Nah, you'd be able to just put your old disks in there. It'd read them, then download the Xbox One-compatible version. You'd still have to leave the disk in to actually play it, though.

 

Of course, there's no official M2&3 support yet... But my suspicion is that they'll probably pull a Bethesda and announce trilogy backwards-compatibility at their press conference alongside ME:A, and maybe throw the games in as an ME: A pre-order bonus, like Fallout 3 was for Fallout 4.

 

EDIT: Whoops.

[Element Zero]

Sweet. I thought that might be "too good to be true" type thinking, on my part. Thanks for the quick responses, gents.

I think a full trilogy compatibility announcement might be right around the corner, based upon my conversation with that EA support rep that I mentioned. I guess I should've probably waited a bit longer to replace my console; but I was in desperate need of some immediate ME. It had been too many months since I'd played.
