Could it be an error? 'A solid understanding of composition and camera language' is mentioned twice, might be a copy / paste gaffe.
HYPE
As far as I know, no EA studio is using Unreal 4. They've all moved to Frostbite.
We definitely know that ME4 is on Frostbite.

You all know I am in favor of this remaster, but I can't say I would consider this a sign.

My hype rose to new heights, then was duly crushed by that post.
I'm thinking if we don't have a confirmation by E3, it's never coming.

I have a question: is the trilogy on PS3 with every DLC? Or do I need to buy them stand alone and buy the DLC?
Not sure why they'd need a Cinematic Animator for a Remaster, anyway.
It has ME1 and ME2's DLC but none of the ME3 DLC.

It comes with a spattering of the DLCs, but you'll need to still buy the major ME3 ones.
In other words, it'll cost you quite a bit if you want everything (totally worth it though)

Just to clarify, the PS3 version of the Trilogy comes with Shadow Broker since vanilla ME2 on PS3 came with all ME2 DLC except Arrival.
Edit: I see what you did there.

That's why the trilogy was more or less an insult. THere was no reason it should not have included all the DLC.
Not likely, but if that were to happen for the PS4/X1 remasters people (especially me) would be PISSED.
The PS3 will never have ALL the DLC, but that's not a terrible thing.
Pinnacle Station, the second piece of DLC for Mass Effect 1 and possibly the worst piece of non-cosmetic DLC in the series, had its source files become corrupted. As such, it is only available on the 360 and PC and will likely never be available for any additional platform.

Hell yeah.. that would be bad alright - but I'm thinking surely, if they do make the Remaster, it will have all the DLC.
Well, they could leave out Pinnacle if they wanted to... I'm happy to never see that again (that view was dope though) haha.
They'd definitely have all the DLC for the Remaster, especially when Aaryn Flynn brought up integrating them organically into the vanilla games when he was posting his "what I'd like to see if we do it" stuff.
Also, one thing occurred to me but I don't know how difficult it would be: it'd be nice if they could find someway to un-gate the Citadel DLC character convos so that you can see them in the main game without doing the Citadel DLC story first. It'd be difficult since the section where they take place doesn't open up until after you do the story part, but personally I'd love to see the convos as I'm playing the game while saving the mission/party for after I beat ME3 every time.

See my post above. It's highly unlikely Pinnacle would be any part of a remaster, given that they've lost the source files.

oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Gotta hire someone to flick a couple resolution switches, and re-render all the in-engine FMVs.
Please be ridiculous quality with supersampling - it was bad enough the originals were 720p & Bink, but they didn't even render it with any AA.
Read my last post for further disappointment. You're welcome!

I read somewhere that EA even no longer holds a license of Unreal Engine 3 so remaster is probably out of the picture entirely.

You obviously have not been keeping up with current events.
Shinobi dispelled that rumor long ago.
That was probably in this thread. That information was later corrected that EA actually would be able to do so, even though it uses Unreal.

My favourite thread on the Citadel is getting more and more depressing by the minute :'(

This is literally the difference between 'day one buy' and 'never buy' for me. I want a PC ME trilogy with all DLCs, controller support and the Xbox UIs. That's it.
The Artisan

yeah, I'd be quite happy with what I get if that's the type of work biow will put into the remaster.
thats not really a desirable one though. It would be nice fan service for them to do something similar to what ND did for tlour.
Me4 with battlefield-level graphics? holy moley
There's ME dlc still missing on the Ps3 versions? what the hell for?

Thus looks like the best place to ask. I have never played mass effect and I'm looking to start around the end of the minth. What do I need to know?
I have the first 2 on Steam and would have to buy the 3rd on origin. Will my save files transfer alright?
Are there any mods I should know about for performance?
Really any general advice is appreciated.

He just said why in the post you quoted. That's the only DLC missing.
I got ME1 on Steam, ME2 on a retail box with no Steam or Origin attached, and ME3 on Origin. Save files transfer just alright between the 3.
Your save files will transfer. I have the first two on Steam and they transferred to my ME3 on Origin.
I don't really think there's much you need to know before starting except prepare for a fantastic ride.
The Artisan

but he didn't say why. what purpose is there in keeping another dlc away from the Ps3 version when the series is now 100% multiplatform
they better not pull this shit this gen. remaster or 4th game
Reread the quote. The source files has been corrupted.
The Artisan
Member
oh, my bad. by non-cosmetic DLC do you mean things that aren't extra costumes and weapons i.e stories?
and when they remaster, does this mean the pinnacle DLC won't be available for any new platforms?

Yeah, I wanted to differentiate from things like the outfit DLC from Mass Effect 2.
And, yes, the loss of the source files mean that most likely it will not be part of any possible remaster.
The Artisan

unless... they redo that dlc. was it bad? you say it is the "worst piece," and I don't know if you say that because it was glitchy, or if it just sucked.
your avy reminds me of barty crouch jr, btw.

It almost certainly won't, unless they want to go back and rebuild it.
Which they won't.
So it won't.
It kind of sucked. It's basically just a combat arena for Mass Effect 1. Has the bare minimum amount of new dialogue, and no real major story beats.
Best thing about it is the reward you get for accomplishing everything, but it's not really anything to write home about.
As for the avatar, that's unsurprising, given that David Tennant played Barty Crouch Jr. However, my avatar is of the Tenth Doctor.

I see. well if it is left out of the remaster it's not really much we'd be missing out on. I'm willing to bet that most of the hardcore ME fans are/were on xbox. i'm in the minority coz I fell in love with Me2 on Ps3. completely missed out on Me1 for over a year after having gotten into the series, and I got to play through it only once.
oh, so it is the same guy! no wonder. cool.

quick question: is this the original face of femshep? and is this Me2 or Me1?

That's from ME2. You can tell by the armor.
Also, that doesn't look like the default face of FemShep. For one thing, she has black hair. Default one had brown.
It's not terribly far off, however, as I recall.

for some odd reason they replaced her ...
I don't like the changes to her in the later game

its a perfectly desirable option. If they were to port the ME trilogy to current gen consoles they would use the PC and its assets as a base. They would look quite a bit better than the last gen versions.
It would basically be the same as going from PS3 TLOU to PS4 TLoU.
You should be thrilled about that.
The Artisan

could it be just the lighting? I've seen that pic a lot, I feel like it was an official promo.
yeah neither do I. remember on facebook where they had 5 or 6 femshep faces and they wanted people to vote for the one that should be the new default by liking them?http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Commander_Shepard

If it is based on the PC version, then it's not desirable, it's disappointing. I'll still get it because I'm a diehard ME fan, but ND did a little work going on tlou going from Ps3 to Ps4. The graphics were updated at least a little bit. If they do at least that much the same for the ME trilogy, then hell yes I will be thrilled.

I never got around to getting all the ins and outs of Me1, what scar are you talking about?
