For the love of God BioWare, just remaster the Mass Effect Trilogy. Just do it. Tell EA that it's easy money. Just put the bloody games on PlayStation 4. It's been six years since Sony's console launched and we still don't have ports of the last generation's most beloved trilogy. What are you doing? It's 2019 (!!!) and we can't play as Commander Shepard on PS4. How the hell did you let this happen? Put a bullet in ANTHEM, forget about Mass Effect Andromeda 2 -- get Garrus and the gang on our current-gen console right now. Right now on N7 Day.
Yes, it's looking increasingly likely that the rumoured reveal of a Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster isn't happening today. Instead, BioWare has simply taken to Twitter to tell us that it'll be releasing "a series of short videos featuring members of the team".
There's another layer to this tweet, though. It also reads: "We want to hear what you love about the Mass Effect universe and what you want to see in the future, so join the discussion by using the #N7Day hashtag."
You know what we'd like to see in the future, BioWare? Have a guess. It's the same thing we've been asking for over the best part of a decade.
Mass.
Effect.
Trilogy.
Remaster.
If you're even remotely as demanding as we are, we encourage you to head on over to Twitter and tell BioWare exactly what it is that we all want. Remember to be nice, though. Earn those paragon points.

BioWare: What do you guys want? We're all ears.
Fans: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster!
BioWare: What? Mass Effect Andromeda skins in Anthem? You got it! Happy N7 day!
what if they CAN'T do a remaster for PS4, there was a rumour a while ago that MS locked down exclusivity for it and their Backwards compatibility program, same with the FINAL FANTASY XIII Trilogy
like i said that was a rumour but it would explain why neither got a remaster when people were asking for them
How About Both Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster And Mass Effect Andromeda 2
creates articles complaining about too many remasters
complains about no mass effect trilogy remaster
The modern gamer in a nutshell.
What we really want Bioware is for you to be freed from EAs control.
@Nickolaidas In our defence, I'm not sure we've ever made an article complaining about too many remasters... Have we?
But you're right, you see a lot of people complain about how there are "no new games", but when it comes to a remaster that they want, it's a different story.
@ShogunRok no you didn't you did do a poll once about remasters though https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/03/poll_what_do_you_think_about_remasters
@FullbringIchigo Very reasonable poll results as well.
If they do this, it would be one of the few times i'd buy an EA game.
Surprised they hadn't done it yet. Beat the whole trilogy on my PC in the space of a month. Was never more happy to go back to my dorm room after lectures hahahaha.
It's not that worth it if it's just a remaster since you can already play them at higher res on PC. If it's more like an enhanced remaster, like the Uncharted collection, that'd be cool. Improved models, animations, bug fixes, etc.
Let's be a dreamer for a bit and imagine they announce a mass effect trilogy remaster soon and next month announce a dragon age trilogy collection as well.
Isn't Bioware working on the next Dragon Age game? I've also heard that it might be a live service game.
I want to know if there really are fish in the Presidium lakes on the Citadel.
@Matroska this may shock you, but not everyone wants to play on PC
Im looking for a word- ah found it. Incompetent
@Nickolaidas this is the exception. Few series have been turned in dumpster fires like this. One of the most beloved trilogies deservez and needs the remaster. Assassin's Creed 3...not so much
REMASTER PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@redd214 You can use a PS4 controller and display it on your TV. I understand if someone doesn't have a gaming PC but it's at the point now where if you do, it's the same as playing on PS4 but with potentially better graphics and performance.
Anyway, I'm just saying 4K ME has existed for years now so it's a bit underwhelming if that's all they do, an upscale.
@Matroska I'm fully aware of all of that, however once again, not everyone wants to play on a PC, thus this would be great for those people. I'm glad you've been able to experience 4k ME for years.
Errr... A studio ask what we want and we tell them rehash ports of old games 🤦♂️
I have enough old games on Nintendo Switch to last me a life time. Don't need more on PS4 now also.
Just because they failed 1 time does not mean they should not try for a new trilogy instead of living on past glory
lol it isn't up to bioware to make the remaster trilogy. ea said it has no interest in remasters a few years ago... but since the company has crumbled under its own stupidity since then and have been losing mass amounts of money (no pun intended), i think they will change their stance on this. in either case, should a mass effect trilogy release, i wouldn't purchase it since i have strong pinciples against supporting god awful companies such as ea, activision and others.
"forget about mass effect andromeda 2"?? i did that a few hours into MEA.
Even if there were remasters of the original trilogy, I just can't see EA tasking bioware with the job. It'd farm the responsibility out to another dev. It'd rather bioware turn anthem around in the hope its in-game monetisation pays off.
Time to bang my head against my desk again this year.
I just don't get it. Flip through all of their tweets today, and that is all anyone is asking for. Why in the world do they need to ask what we want to see?
Honest to god, stuff Bioware, if we can even call them that anymore, they ain't the same. I should have expected nothing from them just like every other N7Day, complete idiots.
We shouldn't even have to say it, people ask for it in every bloody tweet they post for years now, Mass Effect Trilogy remaster.
@Matroska I want to play on my console thats why im not on PC gamer.
I want Bioware too go away. How much is left from the original crew anyway. If you still need too ask the fans what they want.....
@Agramonte Never played any of the games. 😁
I played the trilogy for the first time not too long ago. One of the best experiences in gaming ever (particularly the end of one, 2 and all of 3 until10 mins from the end). In a way, I actually think this could be a disaster for bioware, release a basic visual upgrade with all dlc, it's a lazy cash grab. Release something that is more extensively reworked and its lost the magic of the originals.
Yea, lets get in on pc, can I get all the trilogy on steam?
No I can't, but you say I can get it on origin, no thanks. I ain't touching that garbage.
People misunderstand why a remaster would be good, because it would contain everything in one package, all the dlc. The dlc literally never goes on sale on ps3, I have all the dlc on 360 and I sure as hell ain't paying for it again via origin.
@R1spam Fans have been asking for that cash grab for years, begging, we don't care if its a cash grab, we are inviting them to do it, just take our money lol
@JayDub don't get me wrong, I'd be in the preorder queue! Before I finished 1 I ordered 2 and 3. Halfway through 2 i bought a whole bunch of dlc and andromeda. I just think there will end up being some controversy
EA owns them. No matter what they say, they don't care what fans wants and never will. EA policy is as anti-consumer as they can legally be. They don't have to listen to fans because they own so many IPs and sports contracts that all they have to do is shovel half done mediocre products and they make millions on name recognition alone.
I was never a fan of Mass Effect but even I would buy a trilogy for the right price, since I want to give the series another chance. Heck I'd probably buy a Jade Empire HD Remaster for that matter.
@Matroska ikr that dayum 4k 120 fps, not to mention everything is free including all the games wohoo!
Bioware...pretend Andromeda never happened and give us a proper sequel--one that is more story driven like the original games
Weird how a company that loves taking our money, isn’t listening to millions of fans who are ready and willing to give them their money for something as cheap as a remaster (cheap compared to making a new game). It’s like they ask their fans what they want and then do the opposite, even if it would work in their favor.
@Flaming_Kaiser - most of the main production team/talent from the original ME trilogy is gone. the quality of the writing dropped from ME2 to ME3 imo, as drew karpyshyn wasn't involved, but it still had many of the established characters to work with. the quality then dropped off a cliff for MEA (nobody from the originally trilogy worked on the writing as far as I can tell).
@leucocyte So its Bioware in name only now. 😢
Dwarfs. We need more Dwarfs.
I feel like this article’s trying to tell us something 🤔
@Agramonte Indeed, an Andromeda sequel could turn out to be a fantastic game if it ever happened. It could also be a train wreck. Bioware hasn't made a great game for a while, but it doesn't mean they can't. Just as Bethesda's Starfield could be amazing, it's just recent releases from those developers haven't instilled hope. It would be amazing to see them release something that lives up to their earlier games. As for what I want from a new mass effect game, same as most people, a great story, varied and interesting missions, memorable characters and a decent balance between action and RPG systems. Not much to ask is it? Uhhhh....
