    Gotta be an N7 day reveal.

    A N7 day that actually has a point.

    EA/Bioware been pushing that for years longer than they should have.

    After seeing the Demon Souls footage I will inevitably disappointed by the looks despite knowing it is only a remaster and not a remake.

    Must not get excited.... must not get excited! I'm excited...

    They'll basically have me buying a Series X if they make it a MS exclusive though. And I think they know that.

    I have no idea. Sorry, I had a brain fart when posting that thinking MS still had the rights to ME, but I think it's still only the first one, which could be an issue maybe. But I stand by my statement, if it's a MS exclusive, it would make me buy a XSX.

    Ah jaysus, gave me a fright there :D If The original trilogy was on all platforms, i imagine the next gen one will be as well. N7 day on Saturday so this is their big chance for an announcement.

    Oh yeah, the original Mass Effect was exclusive to xbox for like 5 years, forgot about that!
    Doubt it'd have any effect on a remaster though :)

    Have this on pc so if all it is is up rezzed with some higher quality textures I'll pass.

    What are the chances EA actually managed to keep a full proper next gen remaster of the trilogy a secret, and all will be revealed at the weekend?

    As posted by Hoggie in ps4 thread. Jeff said he wouldn't post anymore ME stuff until Bioware made an announcement so it's looking fairly good for tomorrow.

    I'd honestly take some shinier graphics and smoother fps if it actually includes all the dlc. Anything else will be a bonus for me.

    If it includes the 3 games and all the DLC I don't expect them to do much else. I'd really appreciate a way it could run at 60fps on next gen systems, but this is EA afterall.

    It’s EA so it more than likely will be. I’ll take a straight port at this stage, just wanna play these games again :D never played any of the DLC either before so hopefully they’ll be included.

    It'll probably just be the pc verison with the graphical mods. I'd love all three games in the ME3 engine, but i doubt we'll get that.

    Mass Effect 2is one of my favourite games ever. I kinda would love to go through all three again, but then I remember the endless planet driving in ME1 and that horrible hover hovercraft thing.

    ME1 is the big one. Do they update that to bring in line with 2 and 3 and risk annoying the people who liked the original gameplay or leave as is. The rumour that this was supposed to be released in October but pushed to Q1 21 because they aren't happy enough with ME1 yet is interesting. Does that mean they did try update it and it's not quite working or they left as is but worried if people don't like it, they'll never make it to 2 and 3.

    They really should update it. Nevermind the purists. I played ME1 after ME2 and God, it was a chore to get through.

    Not surprise it'll only be graphical changes (though i guess that;s not confirmed). Will still happily play through it all again, though not sure i'd be buying it. Might just play through the versions i already own with some mods.

    Wonder if they'll try to make a "canon" ending though, as i would assume the new game will be in our galaxy (rather then Andromeda).
