So they didn't add the first game's Mako resource gathering and the elevator rides to the other two games? Missed opportunity to create a truly legendary edition.

I wonder if they removed the RPG aspects from the first game aswell.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Then they'd have to remove the cracking jokes about missing the conversations had in elevators between party members in the later games...

I think most folks were. Although they do tease that they are working on new ME related things.

Ehm, are you aware, you are speaking here about EA? Because that's pretty high expectations from them 😛

They tried that with Anthem, I don't think they will be given any more leeway.

That was an excerpt from the blog entry. It was missing this bit:

"Meanwhile here at BioWare, a veteran team has been hard at work envisioning the next chapter of the Mass Effect universe. We are in early stages on the project and can't say any more just yet, but we’re looking forward to sharing our vision for where we'll be going next."

 

I wonder if this means that DLC for the original versions will finally stop being absurdly expensive compared to the games themselves?

I'm kinda looking forward to the updated games, to be honest. Last time I tried to play them they felt very dated and clunky. I just couldn't get into it anymore.

Like, you can't even use a gamepad on ME1 PC version. What the hell.

I was way more excited for new content for the old games than getting any new ME game after Andromeda

I guess I can try to finally finish ME1 since I've never beaten it. ME2 is one of my all time favorites though and was really, really hoping for new content for it.

You realize that it probably going to be a color filter and some minor texture updates, right? Bet I can find a group of mods to make ME1 look better than what they put out for this.

Didn't they wrote about updated mechanics (gamepad controls etc) somewhere? Of course if it's just graphic changes then it won't be worth looking into.

I guess I'm in the same boat as Lexx. I'll be keeping an eye on it, and probably get it when it's discounted. Even if it's just a bunch of upscaled textures and post processing filters à la ReShade, it may be worth it to play through once more. The bundled DLCs are a plus as well.

And just to cover the cynicism quota: I fully expect it to be full of old bugs and introduce new ones, as per the time-honored Bioware custom. As always, I'll wait 6-12 months before considering a purchase.

As much as I liked the first 2 Mass Effect games, and I did, I have no interest in playing them again. I seem to have misplaced my nostalgia goggles. I'm more interested to see if Bio can return to form with DA4.

Not really news maybe, but mod-interesting.  I wish it was TR1 tho - but maybe that would likely be a lot harder to do re: texture replacing, not sure? tbh, I barely remember 3.  1 and 2 and 4 are the ones I remember most vividly.

I'll just borrow one of the most famous quotes by even more famous sage Volo here.

Take Two wants to buy Codemasters.

Sad news really, I mean I like cars, but I get enough of paying for petrol, tyres and repairs in real life, I don't want it in my games aswell.

Link does not work btw...

Anyway, from wat I heard, Codemasters is one of the greediest companies producing racing games, do this news is not very surprising. T2 probably want to capitalize and expand their milking process further 🤷‍♂️
