Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered possibly releasing soon. (Potentially called ME: Legendary Edition)

I think they were all right with leaving Mass Effect behind when Anthem was going to be their Sci-Fi franchise for the future. Now Anthem probably doesn't have much of a future either so they're going back to try and salvage Mass Effect (while also allegedly trying to save Anthem).
Slight update + Speculation
OP
OP
A slight development!
Liana is a massive Mass Effect fan. And with Shinobi confirming on the first page that September 29th isn't the release date then what she could be hinting at is an announcement coming next month and the Remaster being released on October 30th.
Why the 30th? Well. Shinobi replied to her tweet with a tiny purply image of stars.
I know. It's silly silly speculation and hopefullness at this point but I'm bored. This little update wouldn't be worth it alone if it weren't for the fact that the original reddit post got updated as well.
The preorder for the Remastered Trilogy date was pushed from September 29th to October 30th.
And again you can find a bit more detail on the story here from the user Waymantis:

I would tag Shinobi to see if he could confirm or deny or just completely ignore this but I'd rather not be a bother. In the end what Liana is hinting at could be something completely different. The fact that the date got pushed is a curious one though and it does line up with what Shinobi has said and the release would be better sandwiched between the book releases.

Noooo I cannot wait for next month. I need this announcement like a lost person in the desert needs water.

I am pretty disappointed as well. Though I will admit that if it wasn't happening next month then I was fully expecting it to be a March game like Andromeda and ME3.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's only released next year. November has a lot of major releases, and I still think they wouldn't announce it so close to release. And my issue is not with the release date really. I'd wait as long as needed for a proper remaster. I just want to know what to expect. What is EA goal with this remaster? Quick crash grab or a significant attempt to improve the trilogy?
OP
OP
There is precedent for announcing a remaster close to it's release date. I get the feeling it's a minimalist job, get the games running @ 60 fps with a res bump. I hope I'm wrong.
I would guarantee that it is. This is a current gen game. They'll want to get it out before Cyberpunk, too.
It's actually a last-gen game. I'd figure they'd want to dump it in as a launch-title when the amount of "new" titles is lower.
Plz include all the DLC. I can't enjoy the trilogy without Lair of the Shadowbroker or The Citadel stuff from ME3.
OP
OP
If it includes all the DLC, i would fucking play that shit till my eyes bleed day one perch. I will ignore the awful endings of 2 and 3. I will hate the kid shit in 3. I will still snort coke out the DSL cable it will come out of. Time to open my mass effect SFM collection and be blessed my Futa Liara.
Would the remaster replace the old games on Origin or at least given to owners of the originals? Because ME on PC needs controller support badly.
All I'm expecting is 4K/60 + HDR with all the DLC and updates baked in a bit more elegantly. Anything more than that is a bonus.
Coy Shinobi is coy. October release date seems likely now
OP
OP
Do we take this as confirmation for the October date!?? I THINK SO!
Edit: Slight word change and more calming of my tits.

Announcement early September, release early October. Let's go!
If it is just better graphics and framerate I don't see any point in playing it again. New content and revamping existing content is what will get me interested.
No way EA passes the opportunity to cash in with a different downloadable
I doubt it includes Pinnacle Station from ME1. That was done by an outside dev and the code was lost. It was also broken with it being allowed to get into a state where you couldn't complete it.

I think that's more of a reply to the threadmark for the October release. Or wishful thinking in my part.So, 4K@60 and HDR it is.
A lot of people hate on Pinnacle Station. It does nothing to advance the plot, it involves no squadmates, it's just a hastily-thrown-together score attack horde mode that shows off the worst parts of Mass Effect 1's combat...
... But I enjoyed it. From the incredibly petty rivalry with the Turian with the top score to the reward of a swanky new off-planet apartment with a view.
No matter my playthrough, I always do Pinnacle Station. No matter how janky it is.
Wouldn't be surprised if the switch versions are the original games just touched up a bit like Dark Souls remastered
Good. I was planning on replaying the whole trilogy yet again, maybe even creating a thread called "In Defense of Mass Effect 3" afterwards.
In a perfect world, we'd get revamped level design and interface for both ME1 and ME2, ME3's combat and enemy enemy design implemented in the first two games, tracking squadmates in any order in ME2... but I'd settle for just 1080p/60 with HDR and FemShep's official face added to the two first games.

I'd be fine with that. I'd love to play it on my commute or fire up the multiplayer in bed before sleep.
Oh totally, I don't care what it is on switch I'll pick it up there before anywhere else
I'm right there with you. ME1 was supposed to have more story DLC, so I definitely understand the disappointment when it was revealed it's second DLC would be combat-focused.A lot of people hate on Pinnacle Station.

But I enjoyed it for what it is. I think the Apartment is one of the best "rewards" for completing something in the series. Its a nice view and is a great way to get high level gear.
Truly depends on how much work goes into ME1. That was a story masterpiece let down (a bit, still my #1 RPG of all time) by gameplay and visuals.
ME3 could use a lot of work in many areas... but I can't get my hope up that EA and Bioware actually puts in the effort - revive multiplayer, get rid of most of the loot boxes, make true indoctrination theory ending unlock upon enough multiplayer milestones.

If anything, I previously suggested EA would do this JUST to redo multiplayer and get some sweet, sweet lootbox money.
Lest we forget, ME3 Multiplayer is kind of a big reason why EA went in on it so hard.
It had no business being as good as it was. Probably the most time I spent on a MP mode. If they are doing the remaster using Frostbite, I wonder if it'll effect the gameplay. I remember looking forward to Andromeda's MP but it just wasn't the same.
OP
OP
I think Multiplayer HAS to be included. They don't need to touch up anything with it other than a couple bug fixes. Honestly if MP is excluded I'm going to be extremely disappointed. It's a big reason why I want a remaster in the first place.
