Talk about the worst-kept secret in the galaxy. After months of rumbling and speculation, BioWare today announced the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, bringing all three (quiet, Andromeda) Mass Effect games into one remastered collection next year. While not full remakes, the Legendary collection spruces up Commander Shephard’s ageing space saga with better visuals, smoother performance, […]

I sure hope they make ME1 combat actually fun and not just something you have to do.

Also they're working on a new game too and getting a "veteran" team back together .

    Uh, did you read what you linked?

    While each game is getting spruced up visuals, they should play just as you remember them. Elements like “textures, shaders, models, effects, and more have all been sharpened up, while the trilogy has been enhanced with faster framerates and resolutions “optimised for 4k Ultra HD”.

          Well yeah ME1 was a good story, but the gameplay itself was not the main draw. Offroading and combat were kinda sucky.

        ME1 had the best gameplay by far of any in the series, but ONLY if you played the space wizard class on the hardest difficulty. All the other classes were wank.

            Yep, that's the problem. That was horrible.

            For ME2 they completely neutered the space wizard class and made all three classes have the same gameplay with different skills. But in ME1 all your space wizard skills had separate cooldowns, and you had to juggle all of them to survive on max difficulty.

      Look, I can still dream can't I?

      Edit: Also there's this:

      “Our goal was not to remake or reimagine the original games, but to modernize the experience so that fans and new players can experience the original work in its best possible form.”
