Is It Time For a Mass Effect Remaster?

With the franchise's latest game bombing commercially and with critics alike, is it time for EA to consider working on a Mass Effect remaster?

EA is the only major publisher that hasn't hopped on board the remaster craze

spdygaming3174d ago

Yeah. I can't really blame them, though. A remake probably won't make them nearly as much money as releasing a new game with a half-assed multiplayer system.

FallenAngel19843174d ago

A remake is different from a remaster.

Remakes and remasters never make as much money as new installments, but they do raise awareness and raise money regardless.

spdygaming3173d ago

Yeah. I meant remaster. I also agree, because as I've said in the article, the remaster would give EA a chance to gauge and generate interest in the franchise.

-Foxtrot3174d ago

To be honest they could do a remaster/remake-retelling to fix any issues fans had with the games.

I'd like to see old cool down weapons introduced in the second game and then for the third game they can literally change the entire ending, non of that star child crap. It would prepare them for a 4th game with Shepard.

spdygaming3174d ago

I doubt EA will go that far. Even just a reskin to make the models look up-to date seems like a longshot. But who knows, right? Maybe if we collectively throw enough cash at our monitors, EA will listen.

lelo2play3173d ago

For f**k sake.... ENOUGH WITH REMASTERS.

Seems to me that people prefer playing the same games over and over again instead of new ones...

WePlayDirty3173d ago

Why do you care If the games are fun and enjoyable to the individual?

CorndogBurglar3173d ago

Remasters don't prevent companies from making new games. Maybe pay a little more attention.

Almost all remasters that come out also have a new installment in the franchise that recently came out, or one in development.

So if you don't like remasters, don't play them. But their existence has literally no effect on you what so ever.

spdygaming3173d ago

That's the power of nostalgia for you.

Summons753173d ago

That's the power of a truly well-developed game. Nothing to do with nostalgia. There are some games for 10/20/30 years ago that run circles around today's releases in terms of fun and replayability (a lot of them don't have achievements either...imagine that).

Yohshida3173d ago

At this point, let the IP rest for 5 years before you announce anything new.

spdygaming3173d ago

2022 seems like too far away. At that point, the original ME would probably need a remake with modern mechanics, features + graphics than just a facelift with a remaster.

Sokol3173d ago

Still my favorite Mass Effect game, the original game was full of discovery and exploration.
I would buy the game immediately.

spdygaming3173d ago (Edited 3173d ago )

Definitely. I might have been one of the few that loved exploring the planets with the mako.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
