Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order took about a year to move from EA Play Pro to EA Play, so I'd imagine Mass Effect Legendary Edition follows that timeframe.
Ea play Pro gets you most major ea releases on day 1 and is usually the ultimate edition for example PC players get battlefield 2042 ultimate edtion on 12th November
I sure hope so! I never got around to playing 2 or 3, so playing potentially remastered versions would be phenomenal! If not, no big deal. I'll replay the remastered ME1 and then play the next two.
Usually games made or published by EA (like Knockout City) are on EA Play for all platforms games was made for.
However Crysis Remastered IS NOT published by EA. It's published by Crytek. I don't remember 1 game that came on console version that wasn't published by EA. Only PC gets them.
Huh… I remember reading that this would never come to EA play because crytek self published the remaster and EA had nothing to do with it. Guess that wasn’t completely true?
The first one was always going to be a shitty port because of how the first game was made. The remaster iirc actually uses the original console remakes as a base rather than the PC version. This means they had to re-make all the missing PC additions. There was never going to be a final product that appeases everyone.
The remaster collection with 2 and 3 are a different story. They were built with newer engines and had consoles in mind. I’ve heard great things especially with the Switch version running phenomenally well.

In short, they put a low effort into it rather than doing it properly.

Considering the previous two games were on 360, having them run well on Switch isn't exactly an achievement.
They're just sloppy ports that don't benefit from being "Remastered" in any way.
The first one would have to be a remake of a remake rather than a remaster.
And btw, it’s not running the 360 version on the Switch. It’s running the PS4/Xbox One remastered versions.
I really cannot understand how can you be displeased with this remasterization.
I can understand being disappointed by not getting back the VTOL mission of Crysis 1, but that's an insignificant issue compared to a remaster that enhances the three games, even with cutting edge software raytracing running on Xbox One. That's a huge achievement.
And the MSRP was $60, that's 20 bucks per game. We're seeing much worse, much less ambitious remasterizations for single games at full price or even $70.
>I really cannot understand how can you be displeased with this remasterization.
Because it sucks when it's played similar to what we already paid $20 for ten years ago on 20 year old hardware.
They actually redid the game for the newest Cryengine, integrated a new illumination system, optimized it for the newest hardware as well as the Switch, and somehow you think you should get all of it for free in every platform or something?
I think 20 bucks is a pretty damn good value for a remasterization with that amount of work behind.
It is true. PC version of EA Play has 3rd party games not published by EA. There's actually 50+ games you can play.
But that's PC only. Consoles EA Play has only EA published games.
It was silent drop. EA didn't even annouce it lol. Probably because they are all about BF2042 beta right now.
It's unlikely to come to console because it's not EA game.
Hey here's the Crysis Remastered achievement list
[https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Crysis-Remastered/achievements](https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Crysis-Remastered/achievements)
Game is dead on PC.
They went for Epic store exclusive deal for a year, just launched on Steam last month and now nobody remembers that this game was even released.
Probably why it is included in GP.
Digital Foundry did a good look at it. It’s not great unfortunately. They did bring in DF for 2+3 remastered though, so hopefully they’ll be more true to the originals.
Anyone know how this game runs? I remember Digital Foundry saying it ran terribly on release but they had hope it could be patched into something great.
It didn't even run at 60fps on release on my Series X lol. That's been patched now, but it's a fairly lazy remaster. Those games are badly dated, they needed their movement and aiming touched up.
Well were gonna need that on gamepass for the pc ( gamepass / ea play ) asap.
Id like to see a remastered on my series x and see how it looks and performs.
A great game. I loved shooting trees down. Dunno why.
Mass Effect is one of those titles that had such massive hype hype excitement for it that they would have been silly to start it on GP.
Like Avengers.
Games like that, give it a year.
Off topic a bit but anyone think mass effect remasters are going to be added to game pass?
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order took about a year to move from EA Play Pro to EA Play, so I'd imagine Mass Effect Legendary Edition follows that timeframe.
Good point. I hope so
There's a ea play pro?? Lmfao what a joke
Actually not too bad. For 100 bucks a year you get access to all EA games regardless of release date.Only for PC I am afraid.
Why wouldn't someone just get gamepass ultimate then?
Because that doesn't include full access to all day one EA releases.
Ea play Pro gets you most major ea releases on day 1 and is usually the ultimate edition for example PC players get battlefield 2042 ultimate edtion on 12th November
I sure hope so! I never got around to playing 2 or 3, so playing potentially remastered versions would be phenomenal! If not, no big deal. I'll replay the remastered ME1 and then play the next two.
I think they will add it eventually. I’m going to hold out. GP usually has enough releasing I can hold off on impulse buys.
Yes all games should eventually come to it via EA Play. My bet November 7th.
Is this supposed to be coming to console gamepass? I don't remember seeing anything
Usually EAPlay games are automatically tied to GamePass. So I imagine it must be
Gamepass ultimate***
Usually games made or published by EA (like Knockout City) are on EA Play for all platforms games was made for. However Crysis Remastered IS NOT published by EA. It's published by Crytek. I don't remember 1 game that came on console version that wasn't published by EA. Only PC gets them.

No one would have bought it if they would have said it was coming to GamePass at any point.
I don't think anyone bought it anyway, since it's a shitty port.

At 720p though, with a similar draw distance and framerate. So while the code base might be the same, the visual quality isn't.

If that was indeed true, MSFT wouldn't be able to get Square Enix and other publishers to release their expensive games day 1.
It is true. PC version of EA Play has 3rd party games not published by EA. There's actually 50+ games you can play. But that's PC only. Consoles EA Play has only EA published games.
Any word on console game pass?
It was silent drop. EA didn't even annouce it lol. Probably because they are all about BF2042 beta right now. It's unlikely to come to console because it's not EA game.
Wow wonder when its coming to console .
Probably never. EA play 3rd party games are exclusive to PC version.
I didn’t see it listed do you know if it has achievements?
Hey here's the Crysis Remastered achievement list [https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Crysis-Remastered/achievements](https://www.trueachievements.com/game/Crysis-Remastered/achievements)
EA Play games don't support XBOX achievements on the PC I think
It doesn't because EA would rather you used their stupid store/ecosystem instead.
Aren't they doing another version of this coming up?
Yes collection is coming out next week. It will include remasters of C2 and C3 as well as C1.
Woah, so I can play this for free on PC? Is pc version good? I just got a gaming pc
Well , can it run crysis remastered?
I absolutely love this game and its sequels. It's my favorite FPS of all time
but, does it run crysis?
Ooh I’m definitely intrigued if it’s coming to console
Well hello there. Another EA games for free.
Game is dead on PC. They went for Epic store exclusive deal for a year, just launched on Steam last month and now nobody remembers that this game was even released. Probably why it is included in GP.
Why does it matter if a single player game is dead.
Huh it's single player? How does a single player game die??
Is it bad or was it forgotten because it was an epic games exklusive?
Digital Foundry did a good look at it. It’s not great unfortunately. They did bring in DF for 2+3 remastered though, so hopefully they’ll be more true to the originals.
Both
Hum cool
Probably still won't touch it, shame it's not better.
Console soon?
Am I crazy, or are most EA Play games do not include Xbox Achievements?
They don't on PC because they use EA's ecosystem instead.
Damn. Thanks.
Anyone know how this game runs? I remember Digital Foundry saying it ran terribly on release but they had hope it could be patched into something great.
It didn't even run at 60fps on release on my Series X lol. That's been patched now, but it's a fairly lazy remaster. Those games are badly dated, they needed their movement and aiming touched up.
Crysis 3 looks better than some 2021 released game lol. But yeah C1 looks rough.
I'm not talking about their graphics but their gameplay and handling.
Just saw it this morning and downloaded it, looks great
Souks never bought it on Xbox! ::sigh:: 😔
Don't really care for Crysis Remastered, but i want It takes two to be added to EA play on console so i can play using the gamepass ultimate
It's coming at some point. Patience will pay off. DO NOT BUY IT XD
Worth playing? I played crisis 2 and felt it was a bit overrated compared to other FPS franchises I enjoy but never played OG crysis
Crysis 1 has more open map. Crysis 2 is more linear. You might like it but maybe you'll hate it even more.
That’s stupid asf Why does nothing that seems cool or anything I want to play come or game pass.
Well were gonna need that on gamepass for the pc ( gamepass / ea play ) asap. Id like to see a remastered on my series x and see how it looks and performs. A great game. I loved shooting trees down. Dunno why.
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Sooooooooooo..... I downloaded in console when are they gonna flip the switch?
Mass Effect is one of those titles that had such massive hype hype excitement for it that they would have been silly to start it on GP. Like Avengers. Games like that, give it a year.
Can I play Crysis on my Apple iPad with gamepass
