Earlier today, Aaryn Flynn, the GM for BioWare’s Edmonton & Montreal studios, sent out a Tweet that has people speculating on whether or not the Mass Effect Trilogy is coming out on current-gen consoles.
In his Tweet, Flynn mentions that there he currently has no news on the possibility of the Mass Effect Trilogy coming to current-gen systems, but mentions that BioWare will release any information about it when he does get some information to share
They say good things come in threes. That would explain why these trilogies are amongst the best in the industry.
I like the Ezio trilogy and the ME trilogy but I also love the Xenosaga trilogy and Ar Tonelico trilogy.
My personal favorites would be the GoW trilogy (both Gears & God), the original halo trilogy, Streets of Rage trilogy, Super Star Wars trilogy, Metroid Prime trilogy
hmm SoR as a trilogy is not that good. 1 & 2 were great but 3 was the drizzling shits.
Xenosaga! I’d say games like Suikoden or Ys but they went beyond three games.
I want to say it's because it has more than 3 games by the same dev team, but they included GTA so I don't know. You make a fair point.
The Best Music in the Mass Effect Series! With the recent announcement of the Mass Effect trilogy remaster, it seems like a good time to look back on the well-loved sci-fi RPG from game developers BioWare.
Fraser Gilbert of PureXbox writes, "There's been a lot of talk about the potential of a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster over the past few months, and now some customers have seemingly been able to pre-order it at major UK retailer GAME."
I don't doubt it's coming, but what I'm hesitant about is what level of care is being put into this Remaster. Will it even include all the DLC. Wouldn't surprise me coming from EA. I love Mass Effect and have wanted to replay the trilogy again lately. However, I've been struggling on deciding whether I should hold off and wait to see if they were really gonna release a Remaster or just play the PC versions with all the fan mods.
C&C Remaster is a good indication. But then again its EA.
And it's rumored to contain all the DLCs. Maybe the better ending for ME3?
Not only that, but one rumour (probably unfounded) suggested that the first game would be more of a remake than remaster, and that each game would have significant improvements.
I actually preferred the first game to the the rest. Played more like an RPG and I liked that more.
I hope it would be a complete edition as well. Also, that it’s remastered for next gen and not this one.
eg. 60fps with RTX and 4K textures should be doable on a game this old without hitting the performance ceiling of the new consoles.
I wouldn’t put it past EA though to do just the bare minimum for a quick cash grab. Hoping they prove us wrong...
Are they even going to be able to put the DLC on ME1?

'Source Code' to me suggests all versions
It’s a good series. I never really fully invested myself when the three came out individually, but I ended up buying the bundle for the PS3 dirt cheap. Feels just right playing it retro. Not sure I’d reinvest.
Should I go for Andromeda at this point?
HELL NO! Andromeda was terrible. I tried but I just couldn't force myself to finish that game. You'd be wise to start the original trilogy again. I too bought the series and all the DLC on PS3 for cheap years ago. But lately I've been really itching to start my 3rd run of the series.
You could probably get Andromeda for dirt cheap. It's a lot better, performance and animation-wise than it was at launch. There are still some bugs that occur from time to time, but for me at least, nothing game breaking. The story is a bit weak but the combat is still quite satisfying.
If you have nothing else to play and can get it dirt cheap, have time to play. I'd say why not, go for it. I played it and completed it and it was ok, not terrible. (my opinion of course)
I am not worried about the DLC, it will be included, which will make things a lot nicer too.
What I am worried about is that they do a proper texture remaster and not just repack things. These games are over 10 years old and can easily see some huge graphics upgrades, however I would be happy with high resolution textures being applied to all characters and landscapes and maybe extra grass effects and such for ME1, which had very baren landscapes. New lighting for ME1 would also be huge, but I doubt they go that far. I doubt we see the end of elevator music though, but I would love that as well. The loading is the main reason I don't replay ME1.
This was my favorite series, I have replayed the games about 10 times each. I hope they redo them and don't screw them up.
However, it is EA... so we will see.
Why wait until the end of the gen? Might as well just push the trilogy to next gen and take advantage of raytracing, and use the SSDs to fix UE3's texture streaming issues.
Oh my, that would be a dream...to see it fully taken advantage of on next gen hardware to rid the loading times/and just really enhance it to really do it proper justice. That’d be something else to see.
But with SSD we wouldn't get to take those long elevator rides which made the elevator ride famous in the first place.
I didn't mind the elevator in the citadel. But the one on the Normandy was SO slow for just one floor.
Really depended on what kind of transfer rate you had. I first played ME1 on PC, with raided SSD...ironically the same desktop I still have....and it wasn't that bad.
On the PS3 it seemed like forever though. Hated when I hit the wrong floor, or forgot I needed to do something else on the floor I was just on.
I'd prefer this over anything they've released this gen. Jedi Fallen order was decent enough, albeit short, but can't think of any other EA game this gen that I've been interested in.
Hahaha, love this excitement! I just genuinely hope it’s done with real care and love. Here’s hoping!!
ME Trilogy on current-gen hardware? I'm down! Still haven't finished the first or third game, I really need to get on that...
I played through ME1 1.5 times, ME2 I got over halfway through a handful of times, I never played ME3. I don't think I can sit through ME 1 and 2 again regardless of what they do to it.
I hope it is true. I hope they put some serious work behind it like upgrade the textures and tighten the gameplay of ME1.
Happy N7 Day everyone.
I resented this idea initially, but due to the huge drought of Sci-fi RPGs on current gen consoles and the lack of them to come, I guess I support this?
I beat ME 1 3 times, beat ME 2 twice and ME 3 once
