Echoing comments made by Patrick Söderlund earlier this year, Electronic Arts COO Peter Moore confirms that the company has no plans to remake any of its games, including the Mass Effect trilogy.
"It feels like pushing stuff out because you've run out of ideas," Moore said in an interview with IGN. He went on to say that while remakes are great for companies who want to boost revenue, they do not fit with EA's company culture.
Moore explained why EA isn’t into this approach to releasing games. “Remakes, because of who we are, and this broad portfolio of intellectual property…you add all that together, I don’t know where we find the time to do remakes,” Moore said. “We’re a company that just likes to push forward.”
And although Moore joked that "in the old days, backward compatibility was to convince your mom to buy the new console — not that you were ever going to use it," EA's games will be backward compatible with the Xbox One this year.
Moore's comments are quickly making the rounds, as fans pining for a Mass Effect remake clearly won't be seeing that any time soon. But perhaps it was best said on Twitter:
@ZoomyRamen @mroahrig i think more accurately, everyone just wants mass effect to be new again
