RUMOR: Mass Effect 2 PS3 content details

Found via the Bioware Social Network forum in Germany. Describes the possible content in Mass Effect 2 PS3 Version.

it'll include:
* The interactive comic "Dark Horse" which informs the player about the back story and offers various choices.

* The three previously released DLC "Kasumi: Stolen Memories", Overlord" and "hiding the Shadow Broker

* Moreover, even accompanied by a code that allows you access to all published-to-date content on the network in Ceberus

* A new mission for about six hours of play time.

"The interactive comic "Dark Horse" which informs the player about the back story and offers various choices."

Wonder how it looked, if it's true...

[sinncross]

Not too sure about the interactive comic part but I guess that is fine if it gets the whole 'choice' debacle over.

All the extra dlc is nice plus the new mission: I wonder if it will be a PS3 exclusive.

[ABizzel1]

I'd rather have a cutscene than a comic, but it's fine.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

I prefer interactive comic than a cutscene.

* A new mission for about six hours of play time :)

[frostypants]

The more they add, the better. Amazon has this listed as $59.99...while ME2 is only $19.99 for the 360. BUT, if they add all of the DLC plus some other content on top of that, it becomes a reasonable price.

Side note: I'm playing ME2 on the 360 right now. I'm not sure I like all the changes vs. ME1. In ME1, weapons never ran out of ammo...they just overheated. But now, I have to find clips of ammo and reload? And they changed a bunch of mappings. And the "feel" of the storytelling and ambiance are off a bit from ME1. Little but obvious inconsistencies like that make it not feel like not quite the same game universe. Oh well. Still fun.

[Weaksauce1138]

Let us not forget the eventual GOTY editions, they are a given.

[cmrbe]

Custscene.

[EliteAssass1n]

Hopefully the 360 GOTY edition comes out at the same time.

[-Alpha]

How are you reading this? It's in a totally foreign language, I can't read anything

[raztad]

translate does a decent job

EDIT:

I think it is time to go back to my PC ME1 and play the game throughly. BioWare is good at storytelling. Just bought DA:O, looks like uprezed PS2 game, with awful framerate but is fun.

[Mr_Bun]

You don't know what "Was kann man laut Greg Zeschuk erwarten" means? Besides, I can totally make out the words "Mass Effect 2" and "Playstation 3"

[MariaHelFutura]

Whaa ?!?!

I`m ALL about "Was kann man laut Greg Zeschuk erwarten"

[-Alpha]

Yeah but my page isn't translating...

[Darkfiber]

Oh my God, this has to be the dumbest post of all time. Did you seriously just ask "How are people reading another language?" like it's impossible for someone to learn more than one language, and you make it sound as though you are almost surprised that you don't instantly and automatically understand the language, like you somehow expected to be able to read it even though you don't even know what it is. And with a name like that, you must be some stupid ignorant macho-wannabe d-bag. God I fucking hate Americans.

[SephireX]

@Darkfiber
I get your point but seriously, we all can't have cool names such as "Darkfiber". If alpha wants to be an aplha male, then you must want to be dark fiber. Now I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Everyone has their issues but I think it is more probable that a man can become macho rather than turn into fiber wire. Another thing, I'm not from the USA and Americans aren't my favourite cup of tea either but I wouldn't hate all Americans just because one has a profile name I dislike on some website. If someone hates fiber wire, does that mean they hate you? For your sake, I hope not.

[BeOneWithTheGun]

Hey, asshole. See, he speaks English, posts quite often on N4G and was asking how his fellow English speaking kin are reading it since it is not translating for him. He wasn't just acting like some prick like you are. See, that is why Americans hate dick holes like you European trash. You jump the gun on everything and think anybody gives a flying rat's ass what the fuck you think.

If you read Alpha's posting history you will see he is very erudite and very balanced in his views and beliefs; hence the butt load of bubbles people have given him. So, why don't you go back to your loft in Prauge and drink your French Pinot and be the first person in your country to go to Dentist school.

PRICK.

Regards,

America.

[-Alpha]

@Darkfiber

I am assuming a vast majority here had the site translated into English. Mine was showing up in the original language, and I was asking how they were able to read it since they obviously had theirs translated. Everything you assumed of my character was your assumption based on your first false interpretation of what I said. I call myself Alpha-Male because I got it off a TV character and I liked to use when playing games.

Next time you try to call me out for being a tool make sure that:

a) I'm actually being a tool

and

b) that you don't make yourself look like a tool by making assumptions about others

Thirdly, I'm not from America, I'm from Canada.

That's, what, 3 facepalms?

[poopface1]

especially if it has all of that included. I have the kasumi/zaeed, overlord and lair of the shadow broker DLC, and those alone are more content than most games today. Including the cerburus DLC(mostly small waepons and missions) and the game itself, tahts alot of game.

Im excited about what the 6 hour mission might be, as it could be the next DLC. Ill buy it even if ps3 owners get it for free with the game next year. Why? because I love ME and it is one of the few games where I LOVE DLC for. making my favorite SP game longer, yes please.

If you have a ps3 and havent played this game you should defiantly check it out.

[Domer25]

Oh I will be picking this up. Wondering if they will tweak the visuals on this version.

[djfullshred]

I'm getting it fo sho. It was a game that tempted me to buy a 360 because I wanted to play it...but I just don't want too many redundant devices. I'm glad I held out.

[avengers1978]

Thanks for giving the better version to PS3.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Yeah. We get a (time) exclusive mission, but MS still has the first game. I already played it, but I would love to have my own Shepherd and abilities carry over from my buddy's 360.

But all these extras has definitely put me back in Bioware's graces.

[gtamike]

thanks for the beta testing xbox 360 users :D

[Weaksauce1138]

We are all beta testing the GOTY edition anyway.

[shinrock]

i just don't think they should get anything 360 owners paid for for free.

[blusoops]

It's coming out a year later. If u buy anything a yr later after it came out it'll always be cheaper than what it was on launch day.

This is day one for me. I've always been interested in mass effect and now I get to play it.

[Steffl3r]

I mean if they dont get Mass Effect 1 they should at least get that much. As a 360 only owner Im so bummed theyre not sending mass effect 1 over because everytime I wanna play it I have to start with the first one. Mass Effect is my absolute favorite game of all time and everyone should get to enjoy it. I really hope that eventually mass effect 1 gets ported, they secretly remake it for the mass effect 2 game or that everyone tha plays it gets to at least get to play the game in the first place. Mass Effect is a stunning game in parts but moreso in its entireity put together. Fingers crossed on the mass effect 1 port seeing as its a microsoft exclusive, but if anybody ever gets the chance I highly highly HIGHLY reccomend it.

[scar20]

PS3 it only does free dlc.

[Rayz3d6yW0lves]

and delays

[scar20]

@rayz3d6ywolves shut up greg.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

You know that Rayz3d6yW0lves is another multiple account to Troll, right?

[ct03]

PS3 it only does Mass Effect **2**. See what I did there?

[MariaHelFutura]

Foliage. LOL.

Who needs foliage when you got GT5 and LBP2? You have your foliage and I`ll keep my GT5/LBP2.

[Mr_Bun]

PS3 owners won't get to play it back when it released on the 360, nor will they get to play the original.

Maybe PS3 owners shouldn't be allowed to play online either since you pay for that?

[Theoneneo81]

Im assuming the 6hr is the bridge between 2-3 hopefully :)

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

That would be bad ass if that was the exclusive. That'd put Bioware back on my Christmas Card list. Keeping Mass Effect exclusive all this time was naughty, naughty, naughty!

[Steffl3r]

They said theyd be doing that through multiple DLCs. Heres hoping, and Im really hoping we can get it as a DLC later on 360

[djfullshred]

Just about all games are re-released with the DLC stuff on the disc eventually these days, regardless of platform.

[Weaksauce1138]

360 version is $20 and the PS3 version is $60. Nothing they get is worth $40 so how are they getting it for free?

[DigitalRaptor]

Mass Effect 2 on X360 might be $20 now, But at one time, it was $60. So many people who bought it probably bought it at near enough full price. So $60 + approx $25 DLC = $85.

PS3 version brand new will be $60 with $25 DLC included, so $60-25= $35

Even if a PS3 owner decides to pick up a copy when it's only $30, they will be getting a lot of value in the package they buy.

So basically, PS3 owners are not getting the raw end of the deal (besides having to wait for the game).

[SuperStrokey1123]

I just want the darn game lol.

[m23]

I hope us 360 owners get that new mission as well. PS3 owners are going to have a blast with this game, probably my game of the year for 2010.

[Garrus_Vakarian]

There will be more DLC to come.

I'm guessing the next one will be announced in December, if not this month.

[soundslike]

-loot

[TheColbertinator]

Wow I should have waited.Mass Effect 2 is my GOTY and I bought over 20$ of DLC for the game.

[MariaHelFutura]

Whatever. I`m buying it again for the PS3. I`ll keep ME1 on the 360.

[Weaksauce1138]

Knowing the awesomeness of Wrex is priceless.

[LordMarius]

PS3 <3, the extras are worth the wait

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

All DLC and more content can fit perfectly on Blu ray disc.

[yewles1]

I knew it. Mass Effect Genesis: A digital comic that offers different ways to start the game depending on how deep you delve into it's hidden secrets of continuity, MARK MY WORDS!!!

[sayonara89]

Nice, I played both ME games on PC but PS3 version will be mine ;)

[Joni-Ice]

.

[SlxTeN]

Cant wait to play ME2 :)

[KaiokenKid]

I want the 360 version to get a Game of the Year kinda thing with all the DLC because I dont really want to break up the series across 2 consoles.

[poopface1]

then you can buy the DLC seperate, it will come out to less thatn 60$.

Its good that they are including the decisions from ME1 in the comic, because some of them will have an effect on ME2 and more importantly Me3.

I wonder what the new 6 hour content will be. Im excited to see what it might be.

[B_Rian89]

i forgot this game was coming to PS3. Whats the release date?

[raztad]

January but dont know the day.

Next quarter is gonna be very tight for me. ME2/DS2 are both due to a Jan release and KZ3 is landing in Feb/22.

[himdeel]

...DS2/ME2/LBP2 has my January on lockdown. All three of these games will have a lot or replayability. Then KZ3 in February, which will lockdown my FPS wants and Socom4/inFAMOUS2 in March will have me playing multiple games for a long time. These 6 games alone are enough for me till the fall and then Resistance 3 is want I'm needing then :)

[Rohered]

No ME2-PS3 pictures published to 2 months out ...

You are not here worrying?

[- Ghost of Sparta -]

Dragon Age looks better on PS3, what's there to worry about? The PS3 version will look better, perform better, and will be on one disc with all the DLC 360 fans had to pay for. :)

[Steffl3r]

Couldnt it work for once for everyone to be happy for one another too?

[SeraphimBlade]

It's not being released at the same time as any other version. I trust that means they're putting more work into it.

[josephayal]

i just can't belive this game is coming to the ps3, exelent move sony.. 10/10

[Silentmerc3nary]

Let's be real here. More like excellent move, EA. Even though it is extremely unfair that the port is getting a 6 hour long new mission, and the 360, which the game was once a console exclusive on, does not. Everyone should experience the game. The WHOLE game.

[Garrus_Vakarian]

Um, I don't think the interactive comic will be called Dark Horse. That's the name of the publisher of the Mass Effect comics. Dark Horse Comics.

Also it's "Lair of the Shadow Broker", not "hiding the Shadow Broker".

Someone should find a better translator for this.

[Malice-Flare]

i used Google Translate and only edited it a little...

[jack_burt0n]

pretty sure there is some legal blurb somewhere saying that if a game releases later on the ps3 it has to have some pretty hefty exclusive content.

already paid for the ps3 complete edition :) and deadspace 2.

[MajorgamerQc]

If they can add move and 3D support than count me in for sure!

[SeraphimBlade]

And if they don't? You won't get a serious contender for GOTY if it doesn't support all the new gimmicks?

[Tdmd]

Can't wait to see how the game will look and feel on the ps3! It's a day one purchase for me, no matter what.

[WetN00dle69]

That 6hr mission alone is reason enough for me to buy this version as well.

[ClosingRacer]

I went fron loving the game to totally hating Bioware... I loved bioware till they want to slap 360 players on the face.. I mean I bought this game Day one and bought the limited edition of the game.. I also bought every limited edition that Bioware made of there games starting with Jade Empire.. and now they give ps3 users a NEW MISSION i mean yes i understand they want more $$ and the free already DLC is a slap on the face saying haha you 360 users got to buy the DLC but you ps3 users don't... They also want to give a whole new mission to them and now make me buy mass effect 2 for the ps3 just to play it? SOrry but it just stupid.. I am all for mass effect 2 on ps3 but don't slap the customers who got the game to where it is today because without 360 users buying the game it would of failed...

[Eternus]

U mad? Get over it and sotp being a fanboy.

[Tdmd]

What the hell are you talking about? Sereiously! Dude, 360 users got to play Mass Effect 1. You, 360 gamers had Mass Effect 2 for about 1 year. You, 360 gamers can get the game for a third of the price that we, ps3 gamers will have to pay for it. And you really feel like you are getting the short end of the stick? OMG, get over yourself already! ¬¬

[SuperbVillain]

That extra 6 hours is going to be a huge selling point when deciding which version to buy,ps3 or Xbox?

[jneul]

i will laugh if me2 sells more on day 1 than the 360 version did, anyway on topic i am interested in this game i will buy it when i get the money

[clarkdef]

I played this on PC and I really enjoyed it (mainly because I love space). Anyway my only criticism was the puppet like conversations, witch left me a little cold.

I might get it on PS3 also for teh trophies lol

[maniac76]

back story comic,prob a motion comic,which is cool,hopes its long lol. cant wait for this
