Mass Effect Trilogy in a Single Package This Fall

I am so IN.

I had Mass Effect 1 for my old 360, but it RRoD'd when i was about 20 hours in, and i haven't touched a Mass Effect game since. This is right up my alley as i've been umming and ahhing about getting ME2 for my PS3 for quite a while. Glad i held off.

Yeah, I own all three games and beat them multiple times... I REALLY wanna buy this but ONLY if it comes with all the DLC.

I wonder what kind of port the first mass effect will be, pc port, 360 port, or maybe they rebuilt the game in the me3 engine like they did witht he port of me2.

Does it include all of the DLC for all three games?

I did love the hell out of ME2 when I picked it up for the PS3, so I'll probably pick this up. It'll be cool to finally be able to check out the original game. Here's hoping it comes with the DLC, though, because it'll be a bummer if it doesn't.

Love this.

This is fantastic news!

I've been holding off on the series in the hopes this might happen.

Wait, "N7 Day" is NOT November 7th? I really like Mass Effect, but I don't know, it sounds too weirdly corporate and off-putting. Hopefully the events don't disappoint.

Awesome, although I own the games on PC, this is a sweet deal

The Wii U version is even more of a joke now

This, and mash a DA 2 pack together while you're at it guys - I heard it's terrible but at least give me all the enchiladas so I can be the judge

This is a neat idea...though the Wii U will be only receiving ME3? This seemed like a good idea for this upcoming new system, I mean from a marketing point of view..

As someone who played ME2 first, the series is so much more enjoyable when you start from the beginning. There's no shame in spending a few hours creating your Shepard as they'll be with you for 80+ hours.

Highly doubt it will. I still would like to play the dlc for mass effect. To date I still think that's the best same out of all three. ME2 was awesome but ME1 is just such a better story and experience.

Yes finally i can play ME1. I just wish i could have known back when they said they could not release it back in 2011.

Cool that ME1 is coming to PS3 but don't think I could go back and play it because of the mechanics. Also elevators and the fucking mako

A LITTLE FUCKING LATE on ME1 for PS3, but better late than never.

They could release the trilogy on Wii U, oh wait if they did that they couldnt sell ME3 by itself for $60.

ME1 + ME2 are great in their own ways. ME3 was a total letdown when stuff like killing the rakni queen is just overwritten.

I agree. If you pay $60 for ME3 on WiiU I feel sorry for you.

Even if you were a huge fan of Mass Effect a whole day to celebrate it is so stupid. None of them were even innovative or genre defining

I would hope so, but I kinda doubt it

The PS3 ME2 disc already has a lot of DLC on it. It would look pretty bad if they reprinted it just to take that off of the disc and upload it to the store.

Haha that's a good one.

Well, I wish they came out with this sooner. I bought the trilogy on Origin when it was on sale for PC and now it looks like keyboard/mouse for at least ME1 is utterly disappointing.

Cool, I can finally experience the Mass Effect series. As far as dlc I'd hope that they at least package all the relevant dlc from the first 2 and whatever dlc from 3 that's injected into the initial story, anything taking place outside the main game for 3 I'd be happy to pay for.

Awesome if you haven't played all 3 games, although honestly ME1 sucks! Assuming they haven't fixed those issues.

Looking forward to it. I haven't played Mass Effect 1 (which is an XBOX 360 exclusive in '07), but thank goodness the HD Trilogy is coming. Black Friday, here we come.

I may end up picking this up when it goes on sale. I have 1 on Xbox, 2 on the pc and 3 on the Xbox again, so I might just pick up this collection and maybe play through all of them on the Playstation 3. It would be cool if they could all fit on one Blu-Ray though!

I can't help thinking if you're one of the PS3 owners who has only played 2 & 3 then playing the first game is going to be a weird experience.

I guess this is an obvious move for 360 because all they really have to do is package it, but doesn't this seem like something that should be on WiiU?

I'm happy that PS2 exclusive owners will be able to get in on it.

I hope they weather their expectations, though. The gameplay, especially after playing ME2/ME3, can take work to get through. But I think the storytelling, conversations, and decision making are all worth it.

Mass effect would be cool if it was all one game :P.

Multiplayer just got extremely boring after about a month or so... haven't played since April and don't plan on playing. PVP would have kept me interested but that's not going to happen. The random equipment is annoying, you should be able to buy what equipment you want not just blindly picking a box just to be disappointed in the end.

I wonder how they got around the fact that MS published the first game. I figured they held exclusive rights to that first game, otherwise ME1 should've been released on the PS3 some time ago. Also, I'm disappointed this isn't coming out for Wii U. You could sell it at $100 and sell ME3 alone at $60 like they're going to anyways.

Story's still great though. And yeah the combat is bad but it's still better than Skyrim/Fallout/Oblivion combat.

I don't get it?, only Mass Effect 2 was good

So does that mean I can finally buy ME3on Steam? I'd rebuy 1 and 2 for that privledge.

Hopefully this will get more people to play Mass Effect 1. The best in the series by far. That's alot of gameplay for $60. I would buy it if I didn't own them all already.

I might actually play this series now....

So should this game get its own page, or will the three game pages already in place suffice?

Awesome! Just hope they swap out endings on Mass Effect 3. Otherwise its just causing even more people to be confused / pissed off at the ending.

I will have no excuse not to finally play and finish this franchise now. Good.

It'll most likely just be a port, but still I hope they improve the performance of the first Mass Effect for 360 and PS3. I remember playing it on my friend's 360 and was frustrated with the frequent 5-second loading times in the middle of gameplay, the pop-ins, the frame rate stutters, and the occasional glitches. To me it felt like a beta test for the pc version.
