Me waiting for the announcement
As long as the wait is worth it...
I'm loving all the early and old material showing up in here lately.
I've been watching a new streamer I'm unfamiliar with do a blind run of Mass Effect. She's a huge DA fan, and has a very down to earth way of doing things.
I love seeing new people react to these games, and that's also partly why I hype up the remaster. It's especially interesting to see where opinions land when gaming has advanced so much since then.

I seem to have become sensitized to this finally. First few times my heart was racing when the thread got bumped, then I got pissed and ignored it for a few days and now I keep it visible but I am fully aware it's just more fans getting hyped( which can be fun) and the actual news will get its own thread. lol
But there is always that small ember of hope, is there not?
In his podcast, Jeff Grubb mentioned he'll have an update on Mass Effect Remaster soon. He wants to give EA some time to sort it out.
Its around the 1:10:00 mark. The vibe I got was that it won't make this holiday, but we'll see.

This game can't come soon enough
Cyberpunk, ACV, Spiderman, Horizon, and this. My Xmas will be sorted.

I think he was more saying "I haven't asked my sources yet because I dont want to bug them constantly"
I never got bored of driving the Maco across all those alien planet surfaces. That "Mars rover" feeling is still pretty unique, and I think the fact that the landscapes were barren contributed to that. Modern AAA games would never do that again. I still haven't played Andromeda but I imagine the maps you drive around in that game have some kind of enemy or activity every hundred meters or something.
I might need to finally start messing around the the landing craft in Elite Dangerous.

The worlds in the first game might not have the most depth, but it did become pretty enthralling to land on them and see what awaited you. Whether it was a planet with a beautiful sunset vista or one with extreme temperatures so you couldn't stay outside of the Mako for long. One of my favorite parts from this was finding the one planet where you had to help a squad of soldiers fight off Rachni, or the planet where we got our first taste and glimpse of Cerberus.
That's what really helps make the first game feel so special, it might not be my favorite in the series and I don't think it's aged all that well, but it'll always hold a special place in my heart.

I am also one of those crazies that liked mako and the low budget uncharted planets exploration. To me it felt right, the negative space accentuated the fact that humanity is still beginning to explore space it also gives the vastness of the galaxy too. Theres just this feel of actually getting into a prefab space warehouse after 30min of nothingness, it feels earned it all made sense to me since the bad guys hiding on remote planets lol. I just like idea of planets that had no actual civilization or communities with just a group of people . It has that low budget 70s sci fi feel to it .
I love the Mako too, and would've loved it even more if the planets' surfaces had more feasible erosion.
The biggest crime of the series is that the sequels didn't try to improve upon this. The desolation made the planets feel more alien, and the bases or other interiors you'd discover made it really feel like you were exploring the frontier.
And that 70's sci-fi feel is exactly what sets ME1 apart from the later games.
This is all part of why I'm interested in the Odyssey expansion for Elite Dangerous. The game already has its own version of Mako exploration but soon you'll apparently be able to explore on foot and walk into buildings and stuff.

If it's a lazy port, I'll prob get it gor Switch, if they actually remastered and updated it, I'll get it on PS4
That placeholder boxart hasn't been spotted anywhere else before (as far as I can tell with reverse image search) and it looks like it's an official asset from EA. No way this retailer made mockup this detailed based on rumors, right before a new Nintendo Direct, right?
Are you telling me this is finally happening?
Edit: They have PS4 and Xbox up too. I THINK IT'S HAPPENING?! https://www.gamingreplay.com/module/ambjolisearch/jolisearch?search_query=mass+effect+trilogy
That makes me wonder if Nintendo would announce it tomorrow? I will pre-purchase the trilogy on the Switch so fast.
We heard it's not coming to switch day 1 so I kind of doubt it.
If this will sell well, then a reboot is quite probable IMO.
Probably not Pinnacle station but I would think everything else would be there.
Is that not just the existing Mass Effect Trilogy logo on a black background?
Edit: didn't realise the same link had been posted above because I was looking to see specifically if the Spawn Wave tweet had been linked. My bad.
the least realistic thing about that picture is the Switch version being the cheapest
He later said it wouldn't be coming out 'at least at the same time' iirc, so it's possible it could be a Prince of Persia situation
except if the Switch one is more barebones or lacks the online component (which would suck because ME3 online is pretty pretty good).
I think EA would be missing out if they didn't release it for the Switch. Although I do hope they try to push the remaster as far as possible in the other consoles.
Also, let me take this change to ask something again: does anyone here know where Jason Schreier confirmed the ME trilogy is coming?
Depends on the quality of the Remaster. It can´t be too extensive if it runs on the Switch and all 3 games drop at once but ME on the Switch? A win in itself.
403 Forbidden error. Is this good or bad?

Yes, but they went through the effort of finding a blank PS4, Xbox and Switch template, putting that logo on there, as well as a provisional PEGI rating AND the EA logo. That's a lot of effort for just some rumors. If they were just going off the rumors, you'd expect they would just slap a logo on a template. Why bother with guessing what the PEGI rating is and putting the logo of the publisher on it as well?
I make placeholder boxarts for a gaming retailer myself and I never go through all this effort until we 100% know for sure that the games are real and we want the listings to look really nice and official.
Especially the PEGI logo with the provisional text under it makes me think this is real. But perhaps the person who made these placeholders boxarts is just as tryhard as me and tries to make every placeholder boxart this well put together lol.
It being on Switch isn't necessarily indicative of what the other consoles' versions will be like. Look at Dark Souls Remastered.
I don't see a Mass Effect remaster for PS4 being a PS5 showcase title.
If we think of all the next-gen shows we had so far, a Mass Effect trilogy announcement would have enhanced every single one of them (especially if it was enhanced for next-gen consoles). I remember before the Xbox event where there was a slight belief ME could be shown there, many people said it wouldn't make sense in a show that was focused on next gen. In retrospect it would have been the best thing about it.
That said, I don't see it happening at all. It just doesn't feel it belong there. I don't expect the announcement before october considering the leaks.
I mean, it'll probably at least be more than just the original versions of the three games running on an emulator with minimal additional work done.
