Report: EA Is Remastering The ‘Mass Effect’ Trilogy At Long Last (Unconfirmed)

The multiplayer was a cocktease of a game where you could play as other races. Krogan shaman was great.

Being a Vorcha engineer was amazing, having dual flamethrowers made short work of damn near every enemy.

Damn shame MP wasn't included, I hope this isn't a sign that it won't be in the next Mass Effect.

A+, quality work, definitely not the diversity hires upscaling textures, tweaking the lighting sliders and calling it a day. Totally worth your $60, not a cash grab at all.

God fucking damn they managed to make her stick out so badly she looks like a transparent jpeg they slapped on top of the background.

why is fucking Larian making Baldur's Gate 3 oh yeah cause they sold one of their most beloved properties.

I'm fairly certain BioWare never owned the Baldur's Gate IP and that Wizards of the Coast has always owned it.
 
Faggot Gift said:
Yeah you're probably right. Fuck man just kills me that none of the people who worked on BG have been at Bioware for years.

Not like they'd make a good one these days, anyway. The Dragon Age series is basically Baldur's Gate but in their own world.

imagine a remaster in 2021 having less features than quake 1 from 1996.


so tali is brown now. because that's apparently how skin reacts wearing a burqa suit all day every day for generations. sure this has nothing to do with any idpol shit either.
I also have the lingering suspicion they did it so they don't have to pay the original artist.

the "original" back then wasn't that great, but by now is pretty much considered canon. nice going fucktards, you can't even remaster your own fucking games from less than a decade ago without shitting it up in the process.

The original picture of Tali was a stock photograph they made purple.

Here it is:

Side by side. Look at the no-effort hand/fingers. This was supposed to be a big deal in the last game of the series and they gave an intern a lunch break to photoshop something.

Someone on the internet fixed the hand.

It's good they removed the multiplayer requirements for the best ending but I'm genuinely gutted they removed MP altogether. I spent more hours in that than the main game.

for the life of me I'll never understand why EA never capitalized more on the franchise, especially the hype before 3, and do something else with mass effect. all you got were some shitty books and comics. just imagine a mass effect battlefield, even as dlc... fuck even a standalone horde shooter would've probably made bank. mindboggling retarded.

Anything but Andromeda would have been a success. They could have even made a strategy game set during the the First Contact War between the Turians and Alliance.

I don't understand the thinking behind Andromeda at all. They spent all this time and effort crafting an interesting sci-fi setting, which was so entertaining that it was able to overshadow horrible writing flaws, and then they just...ditched that setting? and expected the gameplay to stand on its own?

It has all the hallmarks of being pushed by middle management, who has little clue on what the consumer wants except "MASS EFFECT" and "MAKE IT SO THAT ITS DIFFERENT FROM 3 SINCE MARKETING SAID PEOPLE DISLIKED IT". And of course, the studio whom they entrusted this to was incompetent, so it simply spiraled from there. Oh, and Bioware Montreal got shuttered after Andromeda, to tell you how bad the fuck up was.

Who then, if I'm not mistaken, had members who went on to create Digital Scapes and get hired by CDPR to work on Cyberpunk 2077 because NO ONE IN THIS INDUSTRY LEARNS A DAMN THING.

It was a failure on the technical side and the writing side. They didn't even know what they wanted to do with the game. One director wanted huge open world maps, another wanted procedurally-generated planets for the exploration part. They've wasted more time trying to understand how Frostbite works and how to fit those ideas into it. And then you have all that awful writing and worldbuilding.
I know people tend to say that it wasn't Bioware's fault because it wasn't the main studio... come on, they all worked on it, it doesn't matter if it's Montreal, Edmonton or Austin, you still have people like the Weekes writing their nonsense. We're talking about a studio that also knew about the racist pajeet's Twitter diatribes for years and did absolutely nothing.
It's impossible to do a sequel to Andromeda, the worldbuilding and the characters were so bad that you can't really retcon stuff in a sequel.

I'm hearing reports that this particular remaster was outsourced to a third party. Any confirmations?
