Wew lado... I didn't know Valve with Team Fortress 2 is the main inspiration behind other game developers & publishers using lootboxes...
Also the reason behind no Half Life 3 in the video.
plus why style matters more than just mere graphics:

PCgamer was maybe a little shady with Anthem, but I'm gonna trust these reviews from them. They seem fair and realistic. 60s/100 games are not really bad game (more of good games with some shortcomings) and recommendable for some of their genre enthusiasts.

I for one, am enjoying Greedfall.
Not the best rpg ever made, but I'd give it at least 1 7.5. Maybe an eight, depending on how things end

Wonder if BioWare is going to charge for the overhaul or load the new material for free.

Wonder if BioWare is going to charge for the overhaul or load the new material for free. I don't know. It won't surprise me if they release it as another title, like Anthem Redux or something, and give a discount to current owners.

Report: EA Is Remastering The ‘Mass Effect’ Trilogy At Long LastBy Paul Tassi | May 7, 2020,07:35am EDT{https://storage.proboards.com/7036307/images/JtPDrwKJwiFvUpFimawP.png} Buried at the very end of a long VentureBeat story about EA’s upcoming plans for the year is a reveal that is sure to get many fans excited:
“Oh, and that HD remaster of an EA game is the Mass Effect Trilogy. Just don’t expect that to also launch on Switch — at least not at first.”
If this report is accurate, and given the source, that does seem likely, EA will finally bow to years of pressure and release a remaster of the Mass Effect Trilogy at some point this next year.
The series has been on ice ever since the underwhelming performance of Mass Effect Andromeda, though a new title is in the works alongside Dragon Age 4 and an Anthem rework at BioWare. But that is still years and years away, and so to not let the fire die for the series, it appears we may finally get a Mass Effect remaster at last.
There are no other details in this report, but if this is a game coming out in the next year, it stands to reason that even if Mass Effect came out in 2007 for Xbox 360 and PS3, that yes, we will see a remaster playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X when it arrives (though as the report notes, not the Switch, immediately).
Mass Effect is one of the most beloved RPGs in gaming history, and despite its hiccups with the Mass Effect 3 ending at launch, still holds a special place in the hearts of millions of gamers, and a remaster would obviously be a blowout hit for EA, which is why it’s surprising it has waited so long to do one.
I wonder if this would be BioWare directly working on a remaster, or if EA would task some other support studio with the modernization of the remaster instead, with BioWare having three projects (that we know of) going on right now.
In a few hours we are seeing the first third party games featured for the Xbox Series X as Microsoft is putting on a digital event. We are likely to see some EA titles with them being a frequent Microsoft partner, though I would be a bit surprised to see a Mass Effect remaster featured. Despite being a project everyone wants to see, it’s not exactly a title you would imagine will make full use of the Series X’s horsepower.
Mass Effect 3 arrived in spring 2012, so it’s now been a full eight years since the original trilogy debuted. I am curious if it would launch with all the fixes to the ending in place, or if BioWare may go even further in re-doing aspects of that finale that remained awkward even after all the updates, and if they might tease the next Mass Effect game in some way by doing so.
Again, this is still just a single report from VentureBeat, so we’ll have to wait for official confirmation and a debut. But this remaster was always likely to happen, and now, it seems like it’s finally time for EA to play that card.
If this is true I'm excited and I haven't been exited for a game in years.

If this is true I'm excited and I haven't been exited for a game in years. I'll believe it when I see it. And even then if they don't do anything with ME3's ending they're not getting a dime from me.

I'll wait and see. Assuming it's true, it'll depend on what they do. Then I might buy them when there's a heavy discount. I think with ME1 they need to rework the combat mechanics and inventory. The audio design could use an overhaul too. With ME3 they need to rework the events and the cutscenes from the end of the battle on Earth to the end credits. That was pretty shoddy work, and the Extended Cut is worse imo. It gave more explanations of events, but they were altered events despite what the studio claimed. It reinforced the notion that the ending made little sense. They couldn't make sense out of it after changing it with DLC.

I've heard about that. But I confess I'm skeptical.Unless there's substantial changes, beyond what a simple remaster would do, I can't see the point of re-releasing the trilogy. Especially given how toxic the ending is.
