Awesome. Now lets see some graphics!

Yeah. I have the trilogy on pc some really nice graphics mods, but if it looks sufficiently good, that "all dlc, even the promo shite included" guarantee is really tempting me.

Day 1. I hope they give ME1 somewhat of an overhaul in combat mechanics.

Probably not. I think this might be just a remaster...but I can dream.

Fantastic. Hopefully this will give a pop bump to ME3's multiplayer.

Time to pull out the Xbox 360 discs.

You've become predictable, friend.

I like routines.

That's why this pandemic is killing me, you never know whats around the corner.

Buying this immediately upon release

Me too. I was going to play the series again but held off with the understanding this could be remade.

Thought...it could be complete shit.

Seems it. 2 is still fun.

And even back then everyone said to get the PC version, so its not like I'm gonna double dip now if I wouldn't back then. I mean, I have Warmastered and Deathmastered editions of Darksiders, and still play the 360 copies instead.

Its really about principle over anything else. Pushing back against new money for old rope, which has become far too common.

Principal? They are making a product that people seem to want. No different than the 30 million nostalgia indie games that get released everyday.

1. You do not need to buy it all.
2. Old versions still work.
3. Old versions are backward compatible on Xbox Seriers S/X.
4. It's also available on PC.

If they clean it up, make a few needed changes, add all the DLC/games....why not. Again...you do not need to buy it.

I do hope they make some changes to the combat and UI in the first game. I’d like it if the first game adopted the cover system from the second and third game and had better item management.

I agree.

What I would love to happen is:

1. Better combat as you describe. And better UI.
2. Better lightening comparable to current gen titles (I think this is a PS4/Xbox One title that will work through BC...so no ray tracing)
3. 4k 60FPS
4. Re-do all three games planet scanning...make it better..not sure how..but better. I would love ME1 planet driving to have better quests (aka...not copy/paste as it was in the original).
5. Leave the ending open for a sequel!! hahaha

Bah, there's a fine line between money giving people what they want and money grubbing. Like anyone ever needed another Skyrim.

I wouldn't mind so much if the prices were reasonable to the tune of, say ten dollars. Yes, I'm particularly cheap, but the mere existence of loot boxes, and their success, proves there's a subset of suckers who will spend any amount of money on anything. Those people ruin it for thrifty consumers.

On the other hand, you're the same man who said that squadrons wasn't worth $40 because entirely different, older games of the same genre could be bought for cheaper. So logically even $10 would be too expensive for you since this is just a graphical remake of games you already own, yeah?

Actually, I think Squadrons is simply a shit game. As far as I can see, it's main hook is multiplayer.

I hate multiplayer.

If it had a good single player campaign, I may have considered it.
