Oh man really the Switch?
The first two games are probably my favorite sci-fi games of all time. They are one of the few games I have registered as near perfect in my own little Akashic Records of geimu.
If this trilogy actually comes to Switch, I'm going to drop a few logs in my nickers.
I hope it's true. I just hope it's not another required day one patch mess. Especially during this time of crysis.

So the latest word is that the game will see a physical release on all the 3 main platforms, on October 15th, this coming off the back of the listings on a Portuguese website, with that info being removed, and now this date being advertised on a Czech retailer's website... Will EA announce it next Thursday ? (Oct 1)

So is the PC not getting anything? Or is it just not being mentioned as it's digital only?

Me waiting for Fucking EA to finally announce it...
They're fake just like the other guy who posted. There won't be any remaster at least not this year.

Maybe not, then again the "mod" community may end up doing a better job anyway when it comes to remasters,
but it looks like 15th of October is the BIG day....I haven't seen anything from EA that says: "Much to the speculation of a ME: Trilogy, there is no such thing, blah, blah, blah"....nothing to see here folks!"...

The ending sucked dick in 2012, and it sucks dick now.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I doubt it gets announced for a few days since the Zenimax acquisition will consume all the news.

I'm getting close to reliving it... just a few missions left, I think.
Can't believe what a cake walk insanity difficulty in ME3 is, compared to ME2. I keep checking it's not flipped back to normal difficulty.

Indeed. If you understand the mechanics it's quite easy. There are definitely some hard fights though. But nowhere near ME2. I never bothered playing ME1 at the highest difficulty.I'm getting close to reliving it... just a few missions left, I think.

Another update! This time on what the trilogy will actually be called, (according to VentureBeat Reporter Geoff Grubb) the title is: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition! And will NOT be releasing on Nintendo Switch....at least not in the initial release window anyway (which is apparently October 15th) also Geoff will be sharing more details about the trilogy later this week...

No Switch version? Damn shame since they do love their decade+ old ports

Why not? It could include new quests where you have to help get the ship ready and then the actual rest of the story gets completed...

I'm taking that with a grain of salt, as not launching on Switch at the same time would be total bollocks.
It's the second best selling.console this gen, the most popular system this year and should be able to run the damned thing without any difficulty.
Sodding EA wankers if true.

I wouldn't even regard that game as cannon, it took the Mass Effect series to its lowest ebb...better of listening to the audio books..

It's garbage and need to be forgotten. I wasn't being serious.

A Mass Effect 1 overhaul would be interesting to see. I wonder what they would try to do. Also, would this be a full conversion from Unreal Engine 3 to Frostbite or Unreal 4? I have more questions. Hmm.

Spoke too soon. Those three husks and marauder at the very end are proving a bit troublesome. I can't seem to aim for peanuts!

What I've noticed is that there is always lots of anticipation for these remasters only for the publisher to do the most basic and uninspired ports you can imagine. Ea does have a track record of low effort with ports as they were not keen on remasters last gen and for a while now....I hope they can prove us wrong and not simply push a 4k 30fps remaster of Mass Effect Trilogy...

It may have good fighting mechanics, but the story and the characters are by far the worst. And that's what matters to me in a Mass Effect game.

Well there won't be a PS5 version if they haven't even got one planned for the XsX, and besides with backwards compatibility it is bound to run just fine, seeing as this is a cross-gen title...

Let me see how should I spend my Sunday
1. Arguing with a crackpot about a wild theory that purports that the final part of a game from yesteryear was, in fact, one big hallucination or;
2. Do anything but that because there's no arguing with crazy.
The answer is 2. However, feel free to riddle me this Internet Batman
How is it that in the midst of a battle where the Reapers are fully engaged in wiping out all intelligent life in the galaxy would they suddenly care about indoctrinating Sheppard? To what end? Are they going to keep him as a pet or something? Shepard may be a hero from our perspective, but from the reapers one, he/she is just an annoying weed when they're cutting the grass back as they do every 60, 000 years. Where's the motivation at their end? They're not infiltrating or prepping at this moment, they're full-on cleaning the galaxy. What makes Sheppard special in that regard?
I don’t think the reapers care about who/whom they indoctrinate. It just happens passively by being near reaper tech. Shepard has been exposed to more reaper tech than Saren, Illusive Man, etc. combined, so it’s definitely possible that Shepard was indoctrinated since the end of ME1 and/or the beginning of 2.At the very latest, he would be after the arrival DLC where he got mind raped by harbinger through the artifact.
all in all, the theory was abandoned and the ending sucks. 1 was great. 2 was good because of the more adulterated ambiance with edgier side characters. 3 really only had gameplay going for it, which is why more people remember the multiplayer as the only positive aspect to 3.

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, the purported name for the rumored Mass Effect remaster trilogy including Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3, has slipped from its previously planned October reveal and release to early 2021, according to a VentureBeat report citing “people familiar with the development.”
The main reason for delay is reportedly the original Mass Effect game, which does not live up to the quality of the rest of the package and may make a poor impression on new players who would not go on to experience the upgrades for Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. These problems are said to come down to both graphics and gameplay.
The report also states that the multiplayer mode from Mass Effect 3 will not be included in the collection, which will be a single-player-only affair. It will, however, reportedly include all of the downloadable content for all three titles.

The number of people not just rebuying for the sake of nostalgia would be miniscule.
Besides which, it was always the characters and plot that hooked you with the first game. The graphics and gameplay were always weak, even for the time.

The fact that its even further delayed and not just by weeks, but by months, makes you wonder just how long have they been working on this project? So now I am sure it won't remain exclusive to the xbox and PS4 but will also (hopefully) have some improvements for PS5 and XsX owners, as its likely for this collection I would get it on PS5...

That should be pretty easy. All they have to do is remove the code that links to the Galaxy at War readiness stat. So all the war assets you collect are always at 100% instead of starting at/dropping to 50%.

If its a cross-gen title then theres a ps5 and xsx version....thats what cross-gen means...but regardless it doesnt need to be as the new consoles are backwards compatible

I would love to see Mass Effect 1 receive gameplay improvements but everything Bioware has done to this franchise following the first game is evidence that they can't be trusted to make any alterations in terms of direction and approach. Maybe if they just tighten up what's already there than that could be fine, but anything else gets me worried.

I feel like that's usually the case with a lot of remasters. But it's amusing to see that in a thread full of people that are down to check it out, lol.
