If they do remaster these I better still be able to bitch slap the reporter.

You could get metooed for this in ME5.

Do the robot-human fusions even care about that kind of crap? Because I don't see anything happening about that in the other endings.

I still don't think Bioware can pull it off correctly.

They will probably outsource a lot of it to shitty EA satellite studios like they did with Andromeda. Or maybe outdo themselves this time and find a way to outsource it to the Warcraft III Reforged team.

Art of the Mass Effect Trilogy: Expanded Edition book pops up for pre-order

An Art of the Mass Effect Trilogy: Expanded Edition book has popped up for pre-order, with a 23rd February 2021 release date.

This new book includes hundreds of never-before-seen works of art, according to its description on the likes of Amazon and elsewhere.

Here's the official blurb:

"Contains extensive new material from the DLCs for all three games - including the award-winning Lair of the Shadow Broker from Mass Effect 2 and the fan-favourite Citadel from Mass Effect 3.

"Experience the evolution of the aliens, planets, ships, and technology that define this iconic science fiction universe, as the developers who brought BioWare's masterpiece to life take you from the earliest design sketches through to the meticulous final renders.

"Brimming with concept art and commentary, this expanded edition is the ultimate companion to one of the greatest series in the history of gaming!"

Now, the reveal of this Mass Effect art book on its own isn't particularly revelatory, but in the context of strong rumours developer BioWare is working on a remaster of Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3, it's certainly interesting. Could the book's February 2021 release date point to a release timing for the unannounced trilogy remaster?

Sounds like they delayed it before it was even announced. I wonder if internally they are finally coming around to seeing that it's a diversity hire issue.

Bioware's only hope of selling games now is remasters.

EA just needs to send them to the farm with Origin.

... and it's pretty sad, ME trilogy & DA: Origins were far from perfect games but I really enjoyed them.

Then they started making their games more "action" oriented, and writting character as if the damn game was some sort of shopping list over political reasons, and shit just became... meh.

Anthem even if they pull up a good re-work, I don't think is going anywhere at this point... but hey, Hello Games managed to pull it off, who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but I still think their only hope is the next Dragon Age game, if that bombs, RIP.

Unless they pull a Rainbow Six siege levels of rework , i don't see Anthem getting any better.
I didn't liked Inquisition too much but still have some hope for DA4 , at least if they drop the open world design because that's CLEARLY somethinght that Bioware doesn't know how to make.

Well DA4 is going to be a live service game, so...

 

[Ol' Willy]

Rainbow Six siege levels of rework

Last good Rainbow Six game was Raven Shield, so...

 

[Myobi]

Well DA4 is going to be a live service game, so...

Mass Effect 3 & Dragon Age: Inquisition also had "live-service" elements, doesn't really say much... plus:



Still really think they need to focus back tactical side of the game and also stop avoiding "sensitive topics" in fear of getting shit on by noisy blue haired annoying fucks.

What's with all these remasters of games that just recently came out? I understand a Wasteland remaster from 1980s, but for games that came out less than 10 years ago? How creatively bankrupt are these guys? Sequels where you just do a graphical upgrade and throw in a new story with the same gameplay were frowned upon, now they are literally just throwing in a graphics upgrade. Coming soon: a remaster of last year's remaster of a game from 2 years ago!

 

[Nano]

Consoletards demand it because they can't use graphics mods.

 

[Yosharian]

Lmao at people who still have hope for DA4

 

[Bliblablubb]

Boardmeeting at EA:

ExecOne: "Mass Effect 1-3 made us millions, but we have not been able to repeat that with Andromederp or Anthem. Why is that so?"
ExecTwo: "No idea. But we could just remaster those and make millions with it AGAIN, at basically no cost!"
ExecOne: "Best deal. And cut down on the remaster costs, those people aren't doing real work anyways."

They're dead and they don't know it The staff has been infected with 'woke' and once that happens the toothpaste isn't going back in the bottle. The writers and designers aren't going to scale back on leftist nonsense no matter how sales are going. That's not what they do. They infiltrate, murder the host, and wear it's skin for their purposes - and when it dies they move on to the next one. There is no world where Bioware higher ups say, "Hey maybe we should stop diversity hires over merit" or, "Maybe we should stop forcing transgender bullshit into our space opera" and they don't suffer a fullscale revolt from their blue haired troops and xer allies in the gaming 'press'.

ah yes it's clearly the SJWs and not the usual corporate fuckery and corner-cutting.

Rubes.

 

[Joseph Stalin]

Mass Effect doesn't need a remaster so much as a re-write, especially the third game. Also, the events of the second title having an actual impact on the global story would also be nice, instead of being relegated to a complete side note.

They are not mutually exclusive.

 

[KK1001]

They are not mutually exclusive.

All of these companies rely increasingly on low-paid, contract work. In the interests of cutting cost, they let veteran designers walk and bring in people fresh out of game design school or whatever who barely know their ass from their mouth. In the case of Bioware, they purposefully fucked over Andromeda. I've yet to see an example of a game ruined by the SJW boogeyman.

I don't think it's just the direct impact people mean when talking about the "SJW Boogeyman", but mostly the pressure they try to put on these companies via social media, which sometimes is amplified by the media trying to get those outrage clicks out of it, don't get me wrong, its still the company fault for succumbing to this sort of shit, most of those people don't even really give a shit about diversity, racism, sexism, or whatever, they just want to see others bending the knee yo them, it gives them an illusion of power.

Bioware sacrificed a lot of their artistic freedom just to appease to those groups, when the sad reality is that many of them never played and never even will play their fucking games.

 

[DalekFlay]

I think they mainly just want them on their new machine with higher resolutions, but doesn't Microsoft do that by default for select games? Do companies like EA block them from enhancing games like Mass Effect so EA can charge to do it themselves?

No. We are also talking about SJWs 'working' at these studios who care more about their agenda than making a fun product. And the soy orbiters too spineless to tell them 'no' or fire them.

This is not just about misguided attempts to chase a vocal market segment.

I know you are also talking about the ones working at the company, thus why I used terms such as "not just" and "mostly".

Remember when ME:A was released in its incredibly shitty condition. All the flack the company took for the quality of the product and yet they still went out of their way to apologize for not having an equal amount of faggot vs hetro romance options. Those people were actually going to spend resourced to add more ass bandits instead of fixing the plethora of technical problems.
