There Is No Mass Effect Remaster Coming Sadly
Is it better for them to be working on a completely new IP, which you know BioWare is, or should they be remastering a Mass Effect?

Bioware Cancels Asymmetrical Multiplayer Game Shadow Realms
I remember the asymmetrical multiplayer game Shadow Realms being announced at GamesCom last year and thinking, "Well, this doesn't feel like a Bioware game" Granted, it was a new IP under a different Bioware division, but it never felt like it fit properly under the Bioware banner.
