Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
Just rumours at this stage, although they seem fairly solid:

I'm not sure about the need to remaster the whole trilogy - honestly 2 & 3 still hold up extremely well. I'd be happy with a remaster of the original, though. While it laid the foundations for one of my favourite game series, with every replay down the years I've badly felt things like the bland world exploration, cookie cutter buildings, and graphically it's showing its age as well.
And the combat. I know for some they were perfectly happy with it, but for my money the way combat works in every subsequent ME game has been streets ahead, particularly the use of biotics. If they could somehow give ME1 a graphical polish and introduce the combat mechanics of ME2 it would be close to perfect.

ME1 could do with redesigning the Mako sections. ME3 ending could also do with a rethink as well.
Re: Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
The first one is still far and away the most magical in the series for me purely for that air of exploration and mystery compared with the later entries which felt like blockbuster movies.
Aside from a graphical update I'm not really sure what changes are particularly likely to be made. People hoping for an updated combat system more akin to the later entries will probably not get what they're hoping for.

Re: Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
Yeah, I doubt it would happen. But it's probably the only thing that would make me pick up a remaster.

Sounds like they are ruining the only good game in the trilogy so I'm out.

So is it PC only? I was really looking forward to this in the hopes that it would get a proper overhaul but if it's just a lick of paint there's no point.
Re: Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
How do you figure that? The link says they aren't "remaking or reimagining" any of the games.DjchunKfunK wrote: βTue Feb 02, 2021 5:29 pmSounds like they are ruining the only good game in the trilogy so I'm out.

Re: Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
Mass Effect 1 is getting a more substantial remaster than the other two games with PCGamer saying the UI and interfaces have been overhauled, the combat has been brought in-line with the sequels' "improvements" and the Mako's handling model has been redone. (I added the quotation marks) The only issue I have is with the combat as I don't have a desire to see it turned into an average cover-based shooter.Sly Boots wrote: βTue Feb 02, 2021 6:05 pmHow do you figure that?

In all honesty I don't really have a desire to play any of the series again, especially when they are asking Β£55 for the collection. I enjoyed 1 and 2 at the time but even back then I found 2 a bit of a chore to play and I feel 1 is going to have aged badly, even with the improvements they have made.
Re: Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
I have to admit that even as a massive fan of the series, I'm not paying Β£55 to play three games I've already played through several times each.

Game. Pass.

Re: Mass Effect HD remaster in the works?
If it's coming to Game Pass then I'll probably at least try the first one out of curiosity.

Plastic helmet and steelbook but no copy of game for 150 quid. The logic baffles me.
