Sony planning to 'steal' Mass Effect 2 at conference?

Bioware's Mass Effect 2 was strangely absent from Microsoft's E3 Keynote presentation today. Given the titles importance in the Xbox 360's exclusive lineup, could this be a sign that the once 360/PC exclusive may also be heading to the Playstation 3? There have been whispers around the hallowed halls of the convention centre that this may infact come to pass.

[Immortal Kaim]

I have a feeling that Mass Effect 2 will be announced as multiplatform at Sony's press conference. I mean, if they can make more money by having other platforms, why not?

[gaminoz]

Tit for tat, hey?

Final Fantasy: multi, Metal Gear: multi, so now Mass Effect multi?

Maybe. Let's have a few more multi titles: Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain, Splinter Cell..

[snp]

Seems unlikely to me unless they find a way to package a port of Mass Effect 1 in with it.

It'd be hell to try and promote two-thirds (only) of a series on one platform.

Not that i mind either way; own a PC and PS3 (best duel combo imo), so i'd be picking up the prettier and easier to control (personal preference) PC version anyhow.

PS: Care to explain the disagree? You know - speak up..?

.. guess not. lol.

[TheHater]

Uncharted and Heavy Rain are Sony own IP's.

[talltony]

It would be so funny if my man jack lifted his sleeve up to show a mass effect tattoo! lmao that would be so win!

[RememberThe357]

It seems to me that EA wanted to show the game off at their press conference, and not at MS.

But, you never know these days.

[lloyd_wonder]

lmao. bubs up

[C_SoL]

Clearly you guys didn't watch the EA conference.

[StanLee]

I thought I was the only one who watched. It was already announced for XBox 360 and PC. This pettiness is really getting silly. E3 is suppose to be a showcase where the gamers win yet, all I see is flame baiting and fanboyism. And the pathetic excuse of blogs and tweeters we call the gaming media isn't helping.

[The Master Chief]

Seriously this could be a huge announcement for PS3, Mass Effect is one of the biggest games out there and seriously Mass Effect just rules, everyone should get to play it.

Cross your fingers! :D

[Megatron08]

This is extremely unlikely. They only announce that ME2 was an 360 exclusive a couple of days ago. Before then everyone thought it was going to be multiplat. Why would EA/Bioware annonce what console ME2 was going to be on then turn around and change it a couple of days later.

[StanLee]

Dude, you're trying to use logic on fanboys?! Good luck.

[really duh]

Agreed.

The writer of this article didn't know EA had their conference and had already announced the platforms. Its been a busy day I'm not mad at him he's usually spot on.

No one is stealing anything from Microsoft on any level.
http://e3.g4tv.com/videos/3... Microsoft isn't even done.

[TheRealSpy02]

i suppose it's possible that it may come to ps3. not likely. but if it does, great. the more ppl who get to enjoy it, the better.

isn't it funny the difference in mentality between the ps3 and 360 fans. 360 fans just seem to be happy to get great games. ps3 fans take it personally when games go multiplat.

at any rate. the reason i think it's not going to happen for sony is because if it were, MS would have definitely shown mass effect in an attempt to one up them since they got to go first. but like i said, if it does, very cool.

[snp]

I think you're cherry picking a bit there. Both are as bad and as good as each other.

Naturally the 'camp' you're more aligned with, if that rocks your boat, is going to seem more wholesome, friendly, approachable and less inclined to any of that nasty stuff than the one you've been traditionally rallying against.

Also should point out there's a degree of deliberate - if maybe unconscious - provocativeness in constantly pointing out one (fan type) as better than the other - since you seem to have repeated this statement, or something very like it, about five times in a row now i've noticed.

The best way to promote harmony is too simply be harmonious. Not to constantly, selectively, call out one half of a brawl and not the other - unless you're intending irony?

[Cupid_Viper_3]

Who in the da F*ck needs ME2? SERIOUSLY?

you guys fall for the bait so quick and easily, relax a little.

WE have more first party exclusive in 2009-2010 then Microsoft had since they've made a gaming console, and that's after MS paid almost a quarter of a billion dollars to have MGS, GTA4, TEKEN6, DMC4, GTA4, HDDVD, and so many other side deals to appear on their console and convince some people that their console is Sony's equal. and the sad truth is, its not.

So stop jumping up and down for these baseless articles man. last year, their biggest announcement was a Playstation game, this year, you guessed it, another playstation game.

There are very good reasons why I dont have a 360, first, it breaks easily, second, 5 Halos in 4 years wont do it for me, sorry, I need something else 3rd, I dont want MS to dictate which Playstation game I get to play, when i can just walk into gamestop and pick it up guarrantied, instead of holding my breath and hating on it.

when company A can publically admit that they have a list of company B's assets that they're trying to get, its also publically admitting ,(to every SMART person around), that it doesnt get anybetter then CompanyB. so that's why Im with company B, in this case Sony.

so again ps3 guys, please let them keep ME2, I would much rather play some new IP from Sony them ME2.

[Pika-pie]

That would be awesome to give Microsoft a taste of its own medicine for a change

[cmrbe]

I am not that interested in Multi-plats tomrrow. Exclusives is what i am interested in.

I would take a new VC anyday over this.

What is it with x360 fans and multi-plats anyways?. I speak for my self and i honestly think that ME2 multi-plat is not a big deal like some people here are making out to be if it comes true.

I have a PC that i am able to play Crysis in middle settings so really i am not interested in this if true as i can still play it regardless of weather it announce tomrrow or in the future.

[AKNAA]

Hehehe... Well said. I couldn't agree more (bobbles)
All I have to say is that ME2 better not be one of sony's big announcements, or I'll be disappointed!
I'd rather see heavenly sword 2, FFvs13, or quantrum theory gameplay and release dates more than anything.

[Omegasyde]

Well stated, your logic is well explained as to why you chose a PS3 over a 360.

Remember the old saying:
Imitation is the best form of flattery.
Hence PSN is getting close to matching XBL, and Microsoft wants all the great franchises that made the PS2 great.

However: => Microsoft should stop writing checks for multiplatform games and start opening studios and creating jobs.

[TheRealSpy02]

all i can say is...read what everyone in this thread wrote. especially the few ppl below you.

there is a very obvious, discernible difference between the two "camps"

i was on xbox live all night and i can tell you that everyone on there was talking about E3 as a whole. excited to see what everyone was going to show.

but on my psn...i get all these messages all the time about how this is the year of the ps3 and ps3 is going to trash the competition (that, honestly, NEVER happens on Live). and you can see it in this thread too. it's clear that ps3 fanboys are die hard, sole system fans and don't care about gaming as a whole but just what sony can bring forward. sure there are die hard 360 fans too, but it's not an overwhelming majority of the community like it is with the ps3. and before all the ps3 fanboys think of hitting disagree. go have a look at the messages in your inbox on PSN. i guarantee you'll have and get similar messages all the time. not that i think that'll stop you from hitting disagree and taking bubbles...that seems to be what you're good at.

EDIT: @ cupidviper and his new following below him. that wasn't well said, it was a huge exaggeration. first of all...name the 5 halo games in the last 4 years.... please. you must be thinking of call of duty.
second, this community really needs to get over this idea that you can just say whatever you want without anything to back it up. all you said was your opinion surrounded by numbers and "facts" that you pulled out of your anus.

final EDIT: "That would be awesome to give Microsoft a taste of its own medicine for a change."
umm...what medicine? you mean where they take their profits and reinvest it into providing its supporters with more great content and expanding the community? man, you people are sad. yeah, i wish sony would give us some of that medicine.

[barom]

You are one ignorant fool. First off I just checked my PSN inbox, nothing about "year of the PS3" and bla bla bla, just to prove your point wrong. Second, I urge you to try to talk crap about the 360 on the official playstation forums and see what type of response you'll get. You're thread will probably get locked but before it does you'll see what great and mature community Playstation has built up.

That forum by far is one of the most mature forums I've ever encountered. You think you'll disagree? Go ahead and check it for a month or two and you'll see it for yourself.

I'm not disregarding the fact that fanboys exists, it's even evident in the comments on this article. My point is that you're full of crap. I'll also urge you to check your inbox tomorrow to see what type of responses you get AFTER the Sony conference. I'm sure they'll be talking about the games that were announced/revealed/demoed as well.

Oh and for the record. I've noticed way more douchebags on 360 thanks to the inclusion of headset on most 360 consoles. That does not mean PS3 doesn't have their own but if I were to use your logic, then that's exactly what it would mean wouldn't it?

[BattleAxe]

Theres no question, this game is comming to the PS3.

[snp]

I stand by what i said. The two are equal opposites - and anyone truly impartial would agree. I've read this thread, and i've read a bunch of other threads over a long period of time.

Hell, i spent a good bit of time trying to figure what this acronym 'PoS3' meant.. Then it came to me. (i know, i'm old and slow..) Certainly not something from a kind smoking the peace bubbles, game-loving only, sort. Tried to figure out what this 'Sony Defense Force' nonsense term constantly cropping up was about, then i realized it was a way of deriding Sony fans who are bit quick to jump up to Sony's defense - as thought deriding something makes one impartial, but defending it (whether necessary or not) makes one a 'fanboy'. (hint - both are probably pretty insecure)

There's crud both ways, of course - but that's the point. Even on this E3 presentation; I genuinely don't believe Microsoft's was all that show stopping. Nothing personal. Some things make me go wow, some don't. Nothing in that did.

Some people perhaps genuinely did think the presentation was superb. But no doubt some are also building it up in the hope that they'll convince others anything but the other camp announcing they'll be taking over the world is, by comparison, a flop. This is the whole point, though, there's all kinds of subtle and not so subtle ways of being partison and playing these little games. I've seen as much gloating, false bravado, and derision from XBox360 fans as i have from PS3 fans, basically.

I mean, think about it, the idea that people who buy one particular piece of plastic will be inherently better people than those who buy another... It is a bit of an odd assertion.

PS: Don't be too fragile with the disagree's. I've got 8 on a post further up without a single explanation as to why anyone disagrees or what they disagree with.. Seems to be a bit the way of this place. Click and run. Meh, just youth i s'pose.

[Cupid_Viper_3]

There is no HUGE EXAGERATION my friend, actually the real facts are so close, you might as well call it a GLITCH in my previous statement. here are some facts and fight them all you want....and also, read my comment a little better. some how you read "LAST 4 YEARS" I said simply "4 YEARS"

halo1 nov 15 2001
halo2 nov 9 2004
halo3 sept 25 2007
halo wars mar 3 2009
halo ODST 2009
Halo Reach 2010

in 2 years- 2007-2009 there will be 3 HALO games
in 3 years- 2007-2010 there will be 4 HALO games
in 5 years- 2004-2009 there will be 4 HALO games
in 9 years- 2001-2010 there will be 6 HALO games

now you do some research and find out How many new IPs Sony had on the ps2/ps3 in between 2001-2009 and you'll clearly see why I onw a PS3.

also do the math for all the HALO games,and compare it Sony's gaming department spendings, advertisments money included, and see BUCK 4 BUCK dollar for dollar who's moving the industry forward.....ok?

Edit... just to be clear, if someone ask you: how old will you be in 2017? do you exclude the past years before that question was asked?

[TheRealSpy02]

just to be clear... you include "past 4 years" with future events?

are you insane?

EDIT: didn't realize this was my last comment. snp....you are doing a very smart thing sounding like an apologist and a neutral gamer at the same time. if you want to make sure you always get to have bubbles to say things that are meant to appeal to ppl who think they are smart, you have to take a "in the middle stance." to an extent anyway. what you are doing is simple masking your persuasion in confusing rhetoric that makes you look impartial. it's a very basic concept that i would hope most ppl can see right through. you are basically contradicting everything i've said with nothing contradictory. and all you have to do is sound clever enough to the dimwits that dominate n4g without making an actual point. and this act simply overwhelms them and since you're addressing me, that automatically makes my point of view negative.

the facts are simple. most ppl i associate with have both systems. we play games on both systems together. we also all hang out in person and see each other's messages and everything else. and we all know the same truth about the differences in the communities. on Live you never....never see anyone say anything bad about ps3 or anyone saying "you should buy this game it supports the community and buying it makes ppl spend more money developing for the 360." it just simply NEVER happens. but on ps3. our inboxes are overwhelmed by this idiotic mentality. i get messages regularly where ppl say exactly what i say but ps3 in place of 360.

i don't care what the pro ps3 majority (on n4g ONLY) thinks of my comments. it's plain as day. everyone with both systems can attest to this truth if they don't have a bias.

i think it's great that you live in this fantasy world where everyone is smelling flowers and playing video games with a 360 in one hand and ps3 controller in the other. i wish i could ignore what goes on, on this site especially. but, it's abundantly clear who dominates this site and who, otherwise, is the vast minority. and that the truth is, ps3 has been a huge financial failure for sony. they do get a few good games...enough that i believe it is worth the purchase if you already have a 360; but it's definitely not the superior system. it's most certainly proven that with its relatively mediocre sales, its lack of quality titles, and its inferior online network. if you are just a gamer and can look at this from a gamer perspective. the best choice is pc...followed distantly by 360...followed closely by ps3.

this isn't bias. this is just the truth. whatever sony does later today...it's not going to top MS. nobody cares about their portable system and if they don't top "natal," they won't have anything.

and in the event they do happen to do something other than show more uncharted 2, gow 3, and gt [god only knows what number they're up to], and possibly a wii-mote rip off, then i'll personally apologize on my profile and stop commenting on n4g and be happy knowing that my ps3 is finally worth the money i spent on a, so far, disappointing system.

[vhero]

When did this ever get announced as 360 exclusive they just havn't stuck a ps3 logo on it yet so you think its not coming?? Well guess what until a year ago for 2 years ff13 only had a ps3 logo on it... Get real people..

[Jamegohanssj5]

Anyone want to know Sony's keynote a head of time? Here it is:

PS3 is getting that shadows game which is exclusive and another Metal Gear game. PSP will get one. Epic(lawl) will supposely announce a exclusive for PS3 with a re defined engine. Conversation Simulation 1 will come to PS3 this Fall and Conversation Simulations 2 will be released side by side for PS3 and 360. Insomniac NC is working on a Zelda(lawl) type game. Syphon Filter PS3 will be announced. Nomura will announce that FF V 13 will release next spring in Japan and next summer every where else. Nomura will also announce Kingdom Hearts 3 exclusively to the PS3. FF 13 will be released this holiday season only on PS3 in Japan. MAG will be released this Fall. Update on Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Heavy Rain information to be given and a release date of next summer. BBC reporters game will be revealed. War Devil will be released January 2010. Grand Turismo and God of War 3 will be released next Spring. Project Trico will be released next year also and details will be revealed with updated video. Dark Cloud 3 will be announced. White Knight Chronicles and Demon's Soul will get a US release date for this holiday season. PS3 Slim announced for October with a $300 price tag.

I am sorry if I just ruined your PS3 E3 conference tomorrow.

MWUAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHHAHA HAHAHAH!

TGSI

[Cupid_Viper_3]

wow.....that was simply amazing, your fanboyism really flowed through in that comment there, now it all makes sense that you're getting sh1t on PSN, you're a little fanboy that probably goes on PSN and run your mouth to others, so they return the favor? Am I getting this right?

Here are some more fun facts since the PS3 has no games..lol

DMC4, MS bought,
Tekken 6, MS bought
GTA4, MS bought
FF13, MS bought
MGSR, MS bought
they admitted that they have shopping list, lol.
Bioschock, paid to keep from PS3,
countless RPGs, paid to keep from PS3
Blu Ray not necessary, yet they endorsed HD DVD lol
HDMI not necessary, $100 add-on, plus Instant 1080p is the new kid
Xbox360 if for games only, Netflix, Instant HD, You're in the Movies
Bragged about Metacritics for 2 years, but now Sony Silenced that.
anyways....you have a good night, Mr. Xbox360 is superior.

btw....another 2 years of begging for a PS3 exclusive starts in........oh it has started already? ok... well better get moving buddy, you dont wanna miss the "Bashing" before the "Begging"....gnite

[snp]

You seem a bit disorganized in your logic, Spy.

I'm not playing any rhetorical tricks anyone need 'see through', simply presenting the world as i've seen it here (mostly on PS3/PC/Wii/DS news pages, since i don't own an XBox360 and unless something particular peeks my interest, don't visit them). I don't have a 'clan' i play online with, so can't speak to any of that - point of fact i only know of one other person who owns either (my brother in law's brother, and it's an Xbox360). Most of my friends aren't gamers, and the few who are predominately own PC's. Nor have i even looked at my PS3 inbox lately, or care really what advertisements may or may not be in there.

Frankly, to be honest with you, i think you're projecting for the most part. I see someone who's playing the 'gamer' card, but then rushes to multiple edit's if he see's anything perceived as even slightly derogatory to his preferred system - and by contrast, doesn't even notice criticisms on the other system to the point where he doesn't believe such criticisms actually exist (or certainly not in equal numbers). I'm sure the acronyms 'Pos3' and 'Sdf' must have rung a bell...

Likewise, most of the remainder of your post is just shots at this and that and the other about the PS3, which certainly don't make you seem unbiased. That Microsoft's done well this gen, particularly in America and that Sony's system has underperformed comparative to the PS2 is self-evident - but as someone playing games, ultimately so what? That one is 'better' than the other, though, isn't self-evident - it's entirely preference, and to suggest otherwise i'm afraid IS bias. Some people 'genuinely' prefer the free online of PS3 to what the Xbox360 offers at a price. Some people 'genuinely' prefer the games range of the PS3 over the 360. Some people genuinely like the scalable harddrive and media center options it throws up. Genuinely like the inclusion of Bluray etc. etc. If you can't fathom how that could be, then your whole view of bias/non bias is skewered and of course you're going to be seeing enemies everywhere..

As to the bit about Sony's e3 stuff - again, it's more projecting. Actually, it's exactly what you've accused me of, really. You know darn well those are some huge titles for Sony and will be center pieces of their display. Hence, dismiss them up front and you've preempted a failure, and Microsoft ends up smelling of roses - it's silliness; moreover it's patent them/us fanboyism. I agree MS's camera thing could be neat, but it's two years away - frankly it's next years e3, with plenty of question marks. Remove that and those games that will also be coming on PS3 (and in my case PC), and there really just isn't that much there imo. Again, it's just an opinion, though.

I don't actually care, btw, about your positioning, but as a straight shooter i'm inclined to point it out if i spot it. If you want to concentrate on the positive, do so. Cool. If you want to brawl, do so. Also cool. But don't toddle on about how unbiased you are when you're clearly not with these 'shots' dropped here there and everywhere, or play the victim card as though the hordes have 'driven you' to each comment. You've provided you're fair share of pokes and some pretty myopic spinning in recent posts - which is why i decided in the first place to point out your provocation was a little obvious.

[gintoki777]

i rather them not steal because this will be attempt to get them back and i dont think it will affect them

[jrsenkbe]

during the EA press conference they announced that Mass Effect 2 eas exclusive to the 360, which sucks as it is one of the few I want. Uncharted and Heavey Rain are owned by SONY.

[callahan09]

I hope it doesn't get announced for PS3. I'm looking forward to a lot of PS3 exclusives as it is, there aren't as many 360 exclusives I'm looking forward to. I've got my eye on Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, and Crackdown and that's it - and I didn't even like any of the other Splinter Cell games, but this one looks much cooler, so I'm hoping I can appreciate it like everyone else. Mass Effect 2 is the 360 exclusive that I am most looking forward to.

I like exclusives. Don't care if it's exclusive to PS3 or to 360, but I own both systems, the more exclusives on each of them, the better for me, to ensure I never get that feeling of redundancy for owning both platforms. Halo, Forza, Left 4 Dead, those don't interest me.

[Christopher]

Either way I'm getting it. BioWare is just kicking RPG ass. EA's conference was a great one, much better than Microsoft's.

[nycredude]

It would be crazy if they announce that Mass Effect 1 and 2 will be released on one Bluray disc!

[ThePlaystationFour]

is not enough.

[MGOelite]

maybe so but it would even out with the mgs going multiplat

[cmrbe]

is overrated and boring. I really really don't care about ME2.

VC is ten times better and i would rather hear about another VC.

I rather see new exclsuive games tomrrow than this.

[SnukaTheMan]

I actually thought that myself since it took me 6 months to get back into the game after not playing it...But after I gave it a chance I loved it and enjoyed it. But then again anything microsoft has is in fact "overrated and boring" in your rhetoric crmbe

[Omegasyde]

Sheesh, Just take Ninja Gaiden 2, or did you forget that Bioshock 2 will now be a multiplatform game as well.

Ms should of secured a timed exclusive with that title. Afterall, the game won game of the year 2007.

[XboxOZ360]

Personally I don't see what the fuss is about, Game Dev these days HAVE to mix the pack up a little. And like all dev's, what they say initially, never rings true later on. Epic's Oh no, this game will never play on the 360. Or no way, we're not doing a Gears Of War 2, 9 3 months later he's on a podium exhaulting the game which has been in production for 12 months.

Bioware under EA is not different .It will be a shared platform game, and if Sony get it up first, great, it's an excellent game, and to be honest, the 360 has a huge amount of games right now, another one this side of the financial year would make games not appreciate it even further.

[Forrest Gump]

That's the spirit.

[mastiffchild]

The same is already true of Sony(games already known to be coming out this financial year) and, for the life of me, I cannot see why anybody is either surprised elated or angry about the MGR "news"-Koj has been preparing everyone for a mp release(or even 360/PC only) for AAAGES. The rest of the MS show held exactlty ONE surprise for me worth noticing-L4D2?

Yep, SCC looked good but, like AW we knew it would, the guy from Forza actually put me off ever buying another of their games ever if I'm honest as I don't like arrongance in any field and until they've decimayed GT in terms of sales/critical acclaim this gen then nearly evrything he said was self obsessed nonsense and he should have let his game do the talkng, imo. I could go on about other things(Cliffy's new little game looking sh1t and The remaining Beatles just lost and embarrassed)but there's no point.

I think the way people have made this out to be the second coming is daft-most of it was expected and there won't be anything great at either Sony or Ninty's show either-or, should I say(as there was some great games in MS show really)nothing we don't already know loads about.

It's a malaise that affects E3 every year where people like to kid themselves that one or the other or all three console makers have lived up to the pre event hype when the truth is none of them ever do. MS just filled in a couple of blanks(release dates and gameplay vids)and gave us one or two mild surprises-nothing more however you dress it up but how could they? There's not enough time(or money for most gamers) to play and buy everything we already know about-how much room is there for any real surprises?

Maybe I'm hard to please but I just think this year's like last and I haven't been excited ny anything yet, don't see how anyone else has and don't predict anything great from Sony or Ninty either-if they bring more games where's the time and cash to play 'em coming from in an already busy schedule for us gamers? I'm losing hope in E3 to be much entertainment if I'm frank here.

Oh and ME2-not going to PS3. Without the first? Why would it? Sorry for being so depressed about this, the pre E3 hype always makes the event seem like crap to me.

[Marie]

EA had their show today and again in the live showing only PC/360. They put up a new site today and again the FAQ list it as PC/360.

Rumor mongering once again.

[XboxOZ360]

Errr umm mate, they haven't had their show yet, E3 doesn't start in the US until the 2nd and right now it's 10pm in LA on the 1st June, not the 2nd of June . . We have 4 guys going to it . . .

[THWIP71]

You are embarrassingly wrong, "mate". The WHOLE WORLD watched EA's presser today, IMMEDIATELY after MS's. :/

[RememberThe357]

Ummm. Yes they did. I watched it.

It was after MS and before Ubisoft

[The Master Chief]

*AWKWARD SILENCE*

[really duh]

This is so wrong. Microsoft let EA have it for their conference or maybe they agreed out of respect I'm sure the Big M was happy to have it as exclusive and didn't fight it lol.

[KaBaW]

What you smokin, bro? I think you needa lay off it for a min.. =P
The EA press conference started after Microsoft and before Ubisoft.
Tomorrow, June 2nd, will be Nintendo and Sony's press conference.
As well as the "Day 1" of E3. So, in that sense, E3 doesn't start till tomorrow.

But, MS, EA, and Ubi have already done there coverage..

[GiantEnemyCrab]

XboxOZ: Are you sure you own a 360? You don't even know when the MS press and EA press briefings are?

That is hilarious but you're from Australia so I understand with the toilets all flowing backwards and stuff.. lol (kidding)

http://masseffect.bioware.c...

[gambare]

I'm right now on the after show of the Microsoft presentation and asking about ME2, they said it will be show later this year because there was no demo ready (the guards took my camera and I had a pic of something awesome coming from the PS3 show... you will have to wait tomorrow anyway I'm masking my IP to try to leak something later)anyway there will be something else about ME2 but later this year but no word about a PS3 version, just PC/360 and is coming to 360 first. Until then there will be some lurk on the devs log in kotaku.

[TheHater]

can you give us a hint? What the first letter of the game?

[ElementX]

And who the hell are you? Anyone can claim the bullshit you do. Prove yourself

[lloyd_wonder]

PLEASE. No more leaks. Sony has their conference tomorrow and has had enough leaks. If you have a website you're trying to promote, I can't ask you to not leak it and understand if do wish to do so.

edit: How awesome? O_o

[gambare]

I just can say:

It's big, and maybe many gamers already know the game

about ME2 they will show it at EA show, no demo, it looks like the first mass effect but with the framerate fixed and bigger.

mm... as a 3d artist working for ***** they invite us to this kind of shows for job chances in the gaming media, and like some person here that leaked MGS:R we have some kind of info, but not all...

[TwistedMetal]

he is on a spying mission at e3 to sneak documents of info we are not suppose to hear about yet.

[lloyd_wonder]

"Tell us what you think. Will Sony snag this epic RPG as well, or is it all just a bunch of wild speculation from PS3 owners, desperate to play Bioware’s masterpiece?"

That's weird. You just said..

"There have been whispers around the hallowed halls of the convention centre that this may infact come to pass. "

Anyways, I doubt it. Sony usually focuses on exciting new ips and and their own first- party stuff. Sony is also sort of the underdog this gen. Everyone seemingly hates them for whatever reason, and third- party developers are usually at the Microsoft conference.

[condorstrike]

Mass effect is not going to be a Metal Gear flip, it wasn't present as much yesterday because it's at infancy state; don't bother, it won't happen.

[XboxOZ360]

It's still the same day in the US mate . . it's only 10pm June the 1st in LA . . .

E3 starts proper on 2nd June . .

[rhood022]

And MGS: R was just a trailer. Yet that didn't stop Konami from showing it.

Just because something is still in pre-development (which ME 2 isn't. There is game footage. It was shown at EA's conference) doesn't mean it can't be announced as multiplat.

I doubt it will, but your logic makes no sense.

[THWIP71]

You apparently have a poor understanding of how timezones work. The entire first day of E3 is done...over...finished. What the hell do you think all the videos are from???? LOL...that's just sad. :o

[mistajeff]

Since it's come to PC i'm all for it coming to PS3 as well, but this is just stupid. It's published by EA, and even if it was coming to PS3 it wouldn't have stopped MS from showing it if they wanted to/were allowed to. It's too abrupt for them to just up and release the 2nd one on PS3 without the first. I fully believe it'll come to PS3 eventually, but I have the feeling the full trilogy will come as a package at the release of ME3 or even after.

[Major_Tom]

Not happening, no way, no how. Sony has and always has been in their little bubble.

[Uncle Rico]

Look what happened to MGS. Slap in the face for Sony fans... so why not this?

[Chicken Chaser]

Sony needs to steal this and Gears of War to equal the loss of Metal Gear Solid

anyway ..whatever if it goes to ps3 ..but i dont think so

http://twitter.com/masseffe...

Didn't Bioware post on Twitter that OXCGN named Mass Effect 2 the #1 announced Console Exclusive for E3?

You know ..it can totally happen ..but posting is like accepting its true and then announcing it multiplat doesn't make much sense

[Unicron]

What loss? MGSR is multiplatform according to all accounts.

How is that a loss?

[Chicken Chaser]

Sooo losing an exclusive is not a loss?

same as Mass Effect going to ps3?

MGS is obviously coming to ps3 ..but not as an exclusive now...so they lost exclusivity

get my point?

[snp]

I think you're overpumping the importance of this new Metal Gear a bit.

There's been Metal Gear's on other consoles before - including the XBox and even the Gamecube, if i remember right. An 'exclusive' announcement - especially of a true sequel to MGS4 - might have had that kind of bravado, but not what's been given thus far.

[Unicron]

It just seems like a lame point. I own a PS3 for example. I don't see how I'm losing anything if I still get to play MGS?

How is it a loss if more gamers get to enjoy it? I just don't understand the mentality?

A gain for 360 only gamers doesn't equate to a loss for PS3 only gamers.

[Chicken Chaser]

I'm not talking about gamers..i'm talking about sony

[snp]

Your point makes no sense. MGS's have been on a range of consoles. This one announced yesterday wasn't previously announced on/for any console, hence it can't have been 'lost' as an exclusive.

[Unicron]

Oh, well I don't work for Sony, so I don't really care in that regard. Do you work for Sony?

[Chicken Chaser]

Missing the point much?

People here talk about this being a loss to MS...and i say that if it goes to ps3 ..it won't be as big as MGS going to xbox ...thats it.. nothing more, nothing less

[lloyd_wonder]

MGR was never exclusive nor was the franchise. I don't see how Sony lost anything. It was inevitable that the next MGS(s) would be on the platform.

You still don't have MGS4. Now that's something to write about if it was on the 360.

[The Master Chief]

Mass Effect is not equal to Metal Gear Solid??

Yea right dude. Mass Effect and Gears are HUGE IP's now...taking either Gears(wont happen) or Mass Effect is seriously very equal. Both would be an advantage in Sony's favor, big time.

All huge AAA games.

[Unicron]

No I get the point, I just think it's a stupid point coming from both sides... I should have been less roundabout. I wasn't trying to pick on you, I just wish people would stop giving a damn about what Sony or MS does and just play the goddamn games!

I think the only loss is when you get fans who are screwed over for one reason or another (GTA fans on PS3, Ninja Gaiden fans on 360).

[Omegasyde]

Chicken how did Sony lose a exclusive, when it was just revealed! Holy cow, now MS stole FF13/Tekken 6/Devil May Cry 4 "exclusiveness" however PS3 games didn't lose as long as the game (ff13) is at least 3 DVD discs on the 360.

Now if Metal Gear Solid 4 was coming to the 360, Only a few of the major stakeholders at Sony would actually give a Flying F***.

I wish somehow Microsoft would steal the Socom IP and have slant 6 make a game for the 360 combined with perfect Dark. Thus 360 owners would feel the pain of having one of your franchises sucking complete a**.

[Xi]

Because EA wanted to show it at their conference where it said PC and Xbox at right before they showed their trailer.

http://www.gametrailers.com...

[lloyd_wonder]

Yeah. I've seen the whole EA conference on G4. I think this was just for hits.

[cmrbe]

anyways?.

It dosen't matter if its announced tomrrow or not. Eventually this game will be on the PS3 in anycase. Its EA afterall people.

What i really want to hear tomrrow is a MGS game exclusive for the PS3 that will not compromise Kojima's vision and play more like MGS4.

I will be gutted if the only MGS game we will have will play more like an action game with Riden with very short cutscenes.

[Xi]

like left 4 dead right? it's ea afterall...

[dantheman1515]

Im guessing you dont own a 360 and havent played Mass Effect? It has yet to be matched by any RPG since its release in my opinion, and that is what the big deal about the game is.

[cmrbe]

I am using a PC to type this, Shocking!!!.

If you guys are smart enough you would figure it out.

[dantheman1515]

PS3 fanboys really need to find a new excuse for not buying an xbox. All you ever say is oh ill just play it on the PC, shut up and go hug that console of yours but dont get burned in the process.

[cmrbe]

but why should i buy a x360 when i can play most good x360 exclsuives on my PC?.

Heck even Alan Wake is on PC, L4D etc etc.

Its not about making excuse. Its about using common sense. In any case the PC version is the superior version.

[ultimolu]

dan, you are a true definition of a 360 fanboy. If he wants to play 360 games on a PC, it's his f*cking choice. Who died and made you the king over who can play on the PC or the 360?

I could buy those same games on the PC myself and fix up my PC. So what? You're gonna cry about it?

Ya'll need to grow up.

[dantheman1515]

Mass Effect 2 was ruled exclusive at EA's conference earlier. I was suprised it wasn't at Microsofts keynote, but I attributed that to EA wanted to show off the game first. I doubt Sony would get the game and EA would agree to act as if the deal hasnt happened until after the conference.

[tawak]

i own both console i nver had interest in the 1st 1 tho

[Marie]

From the FAQ;

Will there be a PS3 version of Mass Effect 1 and 2? top

Mass Effect 2 is planned for the PC and Xbox 360.

http://masseffect.bioware.c...

Haha stop asking and report this story.

[OrganicMachine]

the only reason I liked Mass Effect is that the story was pretty good, a lot of good back story for each races.. although there are a lot of holes in it like how every race is speaking good english.. lol..

I bought the PC version so I'll be getting on the next one on the PC too..

[KaBaW]

I believe they did speak on that..
But, I don't remember what the reason was. =/

You could prolly find it somewhere, though.

[KaBaW]

I doubt it. Not because I don't want it to happen.
But, because I don't think it makes much sense..
Without porting Mass Effect 1, that is.

But, if it does happen, then that's good for the PS3 owners.

[tawak]

mass effect is no metal gear solid =)
360 still wins e3
sony will finish the show with another 1st person shoot trailer
like mag.. made by socom boys!..yahoooo!! lol

[The Master Chief]

Mass Effect is pretty Well the best RPG out there this generation, no Metal Gear Solid? lol ok.....a huge majority of the world believes Mass Effect is much more impressive than Japanese wacky Metal Gear Solid.

[Kleptic]

wait a minute...you guys are both messing this up...

a spinoff starring Raiden is no Metal Gear Solid first of all...

and I don't understand where ME gets so much attention...was a good story and everything...but fun, it was not imo...the 360 barely ran the game to begin with, and was plagued with bugs and a bad combat mechanic from the get go...

and a huge percantage of the world believes ME is better than Metal Gear Solid?...since when?...and which Metal Gear Solid?...as a franchise, ME is nothing compared to MGS...and Metal Gear Solid 4 is the highest rated exclusive game of this generation between the two 'real' systems...

best RPG of this generation dude?...get back in your cave...Oblivion and Fallout 3 wrecked it without even trying...

[tawak]

wow i dunno who's side is this guy..looks like some one doesnt know how to read,is all your heart filled with flaming?..lol

[Narutone66]

And you're saying MS already won E3? So, what prize did MS win? All I know is that they took a huge dump on hardcore gamer.

[MajesticBeast]

im just gonna when lol when drops a bomb like gta V exclusive on ps3. Kojima i hope you got something good and sony pls dont send the entire time on the pspgo pls unless it unveils more then was shown at qore.

[Uncle Rico]

Well Mass Effect was awesome at the time, but now I am having my doubts about part two.

[masterofpwnage]

i wish it did
that would be hella dope
i dont like playin with the 360 controller
it would be funny if it became time exclusive for ps3

[PS360PCROCKS]

Time exclusive? Wow you're really a dreamer.

[dantheman1515]

The Playstation controller has always been utter crap. Why dont they make one that fits the hand of a normal person. Holy sh*t its like you have to have the hands of a newborn to hold the thing. You have to do all of this while contorting your index and middle finger in position to press the shoulder buttons that when you press L1 you also press L2. Not to mention trying to go in a diagnol direction using the d-pad.

[mastiffchild]

DAn that's the most shortsighted fanboy comment I ever read. Cos what? Your hands are the measure everyone elses should be held against? I'm a lefty with "normal" sized" if slender hands and fingers and find the 360 controller useless-and I'm not alone.

My mate, however, feels entirely the other way and put the sixaxis innards into a 360 shell(he's trying to do the same in reverse for me so I have the real option of playing multiplats on either as right now I avoid the 360 because of controller issues)because of it.

Everyone likes one controller better than the other(for most fighting games the clunky D-pad makes the 360 controller a 'mare to use) yet your problem with the shoulder buttons is fixed completely by just adding the 99p extenders to the R2 and L2 buttons. They work for most folk I know so try them so you don't miss out on enjoying Uncharted2, GOW3, Starhawk, R&C:aCiT, QT or any of the other PS3 exclusives winging their way to us.

120million PS2 gamers would prolly not have been such avid players if what you said was even close to being true.

[PS360PCROCKS]

I doubt it. EA already showed the trailer. I'm sure they wanted to keep it for themselves. Besides Moore works for EA, lol I doubt he would screw Microsoft. I'm sure they'll have a demo next year. Microsoft didn't have a dead rising 2 trailer either and that's exclusive. Guess we'll see...

[PS360PCROCKS]

Oh my bad.

[KoB4EMvPi]

Love how everybody is now praising Mass Effect..
What happened to the Man that game is horrible..

PS3 FANS PRAISING IT NOW BC IT MIGHT BE RELEASED FOR PS3.
6hrs later
ps3 fans dont care about mass effect bc the game is horrible.

Funny how things work

[masterofpwnage]

lots of ps3 fans always wanted this
including me
you suck at trolling
know ur facts bro

[Unicron]

MGS4. Just an overrated movie.

MGSR coming to 360?

ZOMG NOW MGS IS AWESOME!

Works both ways there son, and it's stupid both ways.

[Uncle Rico]

What are you babbling about? A lot of Ps3 fans wanted ME2 on the PS3.. jeez

[deshon09]

sense we are talking about thing that wont happen what if epic or bungi had a game just for the ps3 it would still the show lol not relay i think something first party game cant wate for tomorrow

[mastiffchild]

After the disappointing showing from Bungie with a lacklustre , stuck in the past ODST vid yesterday I doubt may PS3 owners would be that impressed without a big step up in quality.

L4D2 or ME2 , however, would do really well and be appreciated by PS3 owners like they are by 360/PC gamers-it's a shame but Bungie seem bogged down in being too scared to change much with the Halo franchise and, imo, are leaving just about in time. I was pretty excited to see what they'd do freed from being MC for a game and they didn't really impress like we all hoped, did they?

Whatever, none of my mates(though some will still buy it for more of the Halo universe)were very impressed by it esp after exzpecting it to amaze as their second current gen game.

[Rybnik]

If this happens I will LOL so hard!! Seriously, I have both consoles so the MGS:R announcement affected me not one iota....However, From what I have seen, ME2 looks really sweet and I do think a closer from the Sony conf tomorrow featuring this would cause some serious 360 fanboy meltdown, ala MS FFXIII E3 08.

Either way, tomorrow might be interesting...I'm sad as I will be at work before it starts but I will check in afternoon.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

got the data on your HDDs ready for this game?

if not then that's a loss, beef up your files now.

did any one you guys killed off wrex yet, i tryed once, it's a dumb thing to do.

[Solid_Snake]

if it's multiplat, it's multiplat.. companies in the end are out to make money. So i wouldn't doubt if it does.. i personally don't think it'll happen, but you never know.

Plus, someone made an argument that it can't because ME1 isn't on ps3.. who cares? MGSRising is going to the 360, and they never played MGS4. Regardless, it's a mute point, we'll find out in about 12 hours. Till then, enjoy the games and enjoy E3 :-)

[Gitaroo]

I notice the guy accidentally said PS when he was trying to say PC at the EA press, maybe thats a hint lol. Well PS3 owners should looks forward to Dragon Age, a major biowares rpg that has been under develop for a long time.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

So I'll keep ME2 on there. I want damage in GT5! Offtopic,but thats what Im more interested in.

[silverchode]

most likely not, sony will dissapoint because fanboys expect to much.

[MetalGearBear]

sony conference is 2 hour long. Sony go win E3.
no MGS4 for RROD BOX. LOL
MGSR is mult.

[N4PS3G]

xbox fans get to play the new MGS and you say OUCH for them?

facepalm*

[The Master Chief]

MGS4, wow keep at least you one and only 3rd party game.

Xbox 360 has DOZENS haha.

[MetalGearBear]

sorry about that!!!!

[MetalGearBear]

sony has dozen than M$. watch on SONY conference. LOL
enjoy your RROD BOX. LOL

I am out of bubbles.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

It was shown at the EA press conference and they said very clearly twice that the game is for the Xbox 360 and PC.

I guess anything could happen..

http://masseffect.bioware.c...

[A LIVING LEGEND]

No.
Procure?........perhaps.
We trade now,yes TRADE.
1 for 1,it sounds reasonable and it diminishes nothing.Arguements abound,fine,be heard.You can lose and win at precisely the same time,perhaps it has happened?
No qualms,I would welcome ME2,if so inclined.

[MetalGearBear]

MGSR is spinoff game.

[The Master Chief]

Did you miss Kojima today?

He announced it, I've got a feeling it's what he said it is, a new Metal Gear Solid game.

Maybe you just still in denial. Can't be fun.

[arsenal55]

i doubt it. dont really care. not my type of game anwyays. i got boredd of mass effect pretty quickly.

just bring me god of war 3!!!!!!

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

Sony should get the first, and should also get Left 4 Dead.

[Rob0g0rilla]

I can't believe people still actually trust these guys. Even if ME2 isn't announced for PS3 tomorrow, they always lie about the exclusive talk.

http://www.yakusagameshop.c...

http://www.mobygames.com/im...

http://cache.kotaku.com/ass...

To be honest, I rather see a new game then them announcing ME2 on PS3 but I definitely think it's a possibility.

[demoneyeslaharl]

No need. Seriously, I'm up to my ears on games for my PS3, exclusive or otherwise. No need to steal... plenty of games from where I'm seeing.

[jdktech2010]

If it's true, then I recommend it to every PS3 owner who enjoys RPGs....one of the best western RPGs in history in my opinion (you have to like shooters though). I guess I can handle getting 2 of Sonys (taht I fully intend to try out in MGS and FF) and giving up ME2. That's a good trade in my opinion.

But I've seen people wanting Gears of War and that's about as likely as Bush getting another term since Microsoft owns the rights to the franchise and it was developed by Microsoft Game Studios.

Anyways, looking forward to Sony's show and Konami's (wanna sort out all these MGS rumors)

[silverchode]

just like last year it was rumored ffvII was gana be announced right ;)

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

EA is promoting with just a little from MS.

[Qui-Gon Jim]

...that EA mentioned Epic as a "partner" in their press conference? Has Epic released anything with EA as the publisher before? Maybe some evidence about the rumored PS3 exclusive horror game.

[Expy]

That's some fanboyish article. Calling PS3 owners "desperate" to play Mass Effect when they can clearly play it BETTER on PC.

[Morbid Bulldozer]

But then they're not PS3 gamers - they're PC gamers.

[Neo604]

they have almost every games on the 360 and more.

[gamehistoryx]

Mass Effect 2 was already announced as Multi Platform
Bioware had already said this a while back.

[XxPh1l5t3RxX]

wouldn't actually surprise me, because i expected splinter cell to be shown in the ubisoft press conference, threfore the fact that mass effect wasn't shown at the microsoft conference suggests timed exclusivity at best

[Soldierone]

well not "hope" i just dont care. Im sure alot of PS3 fans would love it and the game would do well, its just not interestesting to me at all. Coming out oon Ps3 or not , i wont be buying it...

[atreyu_-]

whole lote of comments i didnt read , but if its muilty platform ill not be buyin a 360, cus its gay.there i said it ,im sorry.But it is.Im drunk,really drunk,i am there i said it ,i am really drunk. dont disagree cus i am drunker than 14 mofo's

[A LIVING LEGEND]

Isn't an excuse rather a state,it passes.Unfortunately comments made while drunk don't or at least tend not to go away. ;)
Refrain from posting while intoxicated or post more.Youre choice.
Damage control in full effect,I will do this once.I am bored and mildly intoxicated myself so cheers!.................for now you idiot! =)

[saimcheeda]

if they "stole" something else!Im not interested in ME2!!

[AliC]

Q. Will there be a PS3 version of Mass Effect 1 and 2?
A.Mass Effect 2 is planned for the PC and Xbox 360.

http://masseffect.bioware.c...

Interesting they avoid fully answering that question...

[Morbid Bulldozer]

Wait a minute. I thought PS3 fanboys were playing "teh superior PC version!" anyway, so they wouldn't play an inferior PS3 port, would they?

[Keowrath]

I bought ME for PC on friday at the bargain price of £15, checked the system requirements and was quite shocked to see my machine would run it... Until I tried to install it and found out even though my graphics card has twice the required ram (the only graphic requirement listed on the box), it doesn't support the shaders and bloom effects. Gutted! Although I have plenty of other titles to play until I decide to buy a new graphics card (I don't usually use my PC for games. I am an Everquest fan but not played it or rather the 2nd one since last year)

I look forward to one day playing ME and eventually ME2. If this rumour is true it's great news for PS3 only owners but from everything I've read, part 1 is quite integral to the story so it'll be interesting to see how this pans out.

[Sez]

bioware already stated it in their EA conference that it was 360/pc exclusive. if it was going to sony. wouldn't they have mentioned it yesterday.

[mochi]

ps3 cant take over ME1 savedata^^

[MaximusPrime]

i have no interests in Mass Effect.
its more for xbox 360.

[peeps]

yeh EA announced it for PC,360. Unless of course they had talks with Sony so that Sony could unveil it as being on the PS3 during their console, i doubt this will be true.

looking frwd to later anyway so the rumors can stop lol

[Morbid Bulldozer]

[highfoot]

All MS had to do to make everbody sure of that Mass Effect was exclusive to X360 was so show a glimps of the trailer, but they did'ent. Thats why this could be happening. Why could'nt EA and Sony agreed upon that Sony got ta announce Mass Effect on their conference? E3 is all about show :) Well well, i still might not happen. We know soon enough!

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

will have me buying a Xbox in December. I still can use my save from Mass Effect 1, if I can get it back.

I've given up on Mass Effect for PS3. EA/Bioware has six months to come correct.
