BioWare issues 'no comment' on Mass Effect 2 PS3 listings

SCRAWL: "BioWare has responded to the recent listings for Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation 3 being displayed on both Electronic Arts Russia and GAME UK. It's not a denial, so it does make us a bit suspicious. A user on the official BioWare forums, linking to us, asked BioWare what they have to say about the listings."

[The-Warranty]

Interesting, they just wont deny it, I think its coming.

[Delta]

It would be awesome if Mass Effect 1&2 came over. You need the first one to play the second. This game is very story driven.

[deadreckoning666]

I agree with Warranty, if it wasn't comin they wulda shot it down already. BTW: What are the chances of L4D 2 making the jump??

[Jamegohanssj5]

I wouldn't mind having it because I wanted to play it, but if it doesn't come, then it's fine also.

TGSI

[chaosatom]

Mass Effect for PS3 is inevitable.

[Nikuma]

I wouldn't get your hopes up for L4D or L4D2 on the PS3...but anything is possible I guess. Game is fun for a while but vastly overrated.

[thedisagreefairy]

mass effect and gears of war were the games that were making me consider getting an xbox next year but if mass effect jumps to my ps3 i can save $300 easily.

ill learn to live without gears

[CryWolf]

deadreckoning666 you ask What are the chances of L4D 2 making the jump??, I would say very slim to none

Watch the video at the end of the show see gabe newell hating on the PS3 so as I said slim to none chances.

[Marceles]

"'BioWare's Patrick Weekes responded, "That we don't comment on rumors. :-)'"

A simple yes or no would end the rumors...for a couple of months lol, but the smiley face is suspcious. If he said "we don't comment on rumors" period, then I'd picture him with a serious mean face with a corporate suit on like he means business and drop it.

[Raz]

I'll definitely be getting it when (not if) it comes out. Makes me wonder - if multi-platform becomes the norm, what are the real differences going to be between the consoles?

Maybe someday, we'll have cross-console gaming, and the only competition will be the same old one about graphics and resolution; and who can build the box that goes faster. The games will be available to everyone, regardless of platform!

Hey, a guy can dream.

[HolyOrangeCows]

....perhaps?

[CryWolf]

HolyOrangeCows I believe BioWare can fit Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 on 1 Blu-ray cause ME 1 was only 9GB and a Blu-ray disc is 50GB so it can work.

[chaosatom]

:):):):):):):):)

[talltony]

.

[ThanatosDMC]

But butt... i thought teh exclusives were only on the 360!

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

what will it take for you guys to understand Mass Effect 2 on PS3 won't happen it's too late face it if EA wanted it on PS3 they would have announced it already or day 1 when Mass Effect 2 was announced . you know what i'm calling Gabe from Valve to come out and say Mass Effect 2 will never be on PS3 in behalf of Bioware if those panzies can't stand up and say it Gabe will ( ( goes to call Gabe to meet with him at BK )

[Sarcasm]

Wow... "No comment" usually always mean something's in the pipeline. Just like the horde of "No comments" for Star Ocean, PS3 Slim, PS3 Price drop, PSPgo, Bioshock, etc. etc.

[beavis4play]

i'm wanting ME2 pretty bad. ME1 didn't interest me as much but, if playing ME1 makes ME2 even better?.......i'll get both if they come to ps3.

[StanLee]

This is strange. Patrick Weeks is a writer at BioWare and he's not listed as a developer who posts on the forums nor has he ever posted before on the forums. Do I smell and NDA being stealthly broken? I sent a message to Brenon a programmer who usually posts and he says they aren't working on a PS3 version of Mass Effect 2.

[Blaster_Master]

You could easily sell both ME1 and 2 on one bluray. That would be the sickest thing ever.

[Christopher]

While most people want Valve on the PS3, BioWare is my priority. I love that Dragon Age is coming out for all platforms, if the same happens with Mass Effect and all their other games, I'd be very happy.

I already own ME1 on the PC and 360, I'd buy it again and ME2 for the PS3 if it was coming this way over the 360. I'd probably still get ME2 for the PC as well, though.

[beardpapa]

@Beavis from playing ME, I can say yes that ME is very story driven, and from the videos it seems ME2 will be story driven too. But I don't think you need ME1 to enjoy ME2. Yes from videos it seems that Spectre Shepard is back along with new crew and some old, but this is Bioware we're talking about. I've played their games since Baldur's Gate on the PC. And despite they've made sequels to games, the previous games didn't have to be played to understand what was going on. They're really good at providing a brief history of what happened in the first game, or making a workaround that gives the player just enough info to get them going.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

"Mass Effect 2 Confirmed for PS3"

Any day now... :3

[sirbigam]

They just want more publicity.

[GarandShooter]

It's possible BioWare isn't commenting to allow EA to address the situation, nothing more.

[cyberwaffles]

i doubt L4D would come over to the ps3, but it's possible. i know i wouldn't buy it personally; i might rent it or something. i just got bored of it from playing it a few days on my friend's 360 when i borrowed it.

mass effect, on other hand, is a series that i love and wouldn't mind seeing on the ps3. i could play it on the PC (just like the first one), but i would rather play it in the convenience of my nice big tv and surround sound.

i don't know, some games are just meant to be played on a console like L4D in my opinion.

[mastiffchild]

Sirbigam's right. Bioware do NOT need to shut the rumour down in any way-why do they? Does it hurt them if loads of PS3 owners are celebrating the supposed announcement that this means is coming? And stop everyone talking endlessly about one opf their games? Don't be silly they'll be lapping this up for sure.

Any punlicity is good and this is GREAT for Bioware. The 360 headas are desperate to play it down and the PS3 heads just as keen for it to be something more than rumour-it just couldn't be better fopr them, could it? Regardless of what platforms they decide to make the game for this keeps the game on people's lips and, as far as I can see, has no bearing on what they're really doing.

If they announced a PS3 version(which even IF they do won't be ready for a good while after the 360 one now)the fuss would be big BUT would die down pretty soon so they'd milk the preamble as much as they could whatever. The thing which could change is if EA sense a nig appetite for the game on the PS3 and start pushing funds at Bioware to get it done(maybe Bioware are hoping for this and for EA to fix any outstanding contractual problems over a PS release with MS?)-a MP release WOULD make more cash for Bioware and that's certain.

Vut, whatever, as of now the "no comment" doesn't mean a fekkin' thing either way so I wouldn't advise anyone to get excited in either direction. What DOES have a bearing on this , imo, is how well DA:O does on the PS3. If it turns oput well and gets decent sales I'd imagine EA would move heaven and earth to get the more established and widely desired Mass Effect onto a PS3 shapish but while there's a lot of possibilities yet no real sign of any change from the stated platforms so far.

[Anon1974]

If not this, then something else. One thing that we can be sure of, Bioware will start making games for the PS3.

[thesummerofgeorge]

But now I'm starting to think there's something to this. This would be a huge catch for Sony, and of coarse PS3 owners, ME2 will be an awesome game.

Edit: Also just out of curiosity I may be thinking of something else, but didn't the peeps down at Bioware not have very nice things to say about the PS3 a while back? Or did I just pull that out of my @ss?

[Sarcasm]

"One thing that we can be sure of, Bioware will start making games for the PS3. "

They already did, and it starts with Dragon Age: Origins (which looks sort of meh to me anyway)

[HolaTarola]

"Also just out of curiosity I may be thinking of something else, but didn't the peeps down at Bioware not have very nice things to say about the PS3 a while back? Or did I just pull that out of my @ss?"

No, that was Valve, specifically Gabe "iwillprogrameforaburguer " Newell.

[NeoCloud]

No Comment ------ whenever you hear that u know something's up.
Reminds of the time when FFXIII rumors [ u know going to X360], and look how that turned out, hey maybe it be for PS3/X360 only in US/EU and X360 only for Japan like XIII.

[mythamp]

The PS3 option from those sites yet? if not then this jackass move of "we dont comment on rumors" is just going to backfire. Either remove the PS3 parts from those sites or admit to it. Such a cheap way of getting publicity, like russle peter says, "BE A MAN!" - chinese accent.

[IaMs12]

I would usually say MS you need this, and which they do but this game is amazing and i honestly do not care if it goes to any platform as long as I get to play it lol. More the merrier. And to be honest i already see ME as a multiplatform game anyway, it just has that feeling

[pixelsword]

Kojima's devs were going around saying things similar to

'MGS4 is PS3 exclusive... or is it?'

and things of that nature although it was exclusive, so until you hear the other shoe drop, I'd just consider ME3 360 exclusive.

[Leathersoup]

I hope Bioware does make it for the PS3. Mass Effect is a great game and I don't think people should not get to play games (especially 3rd party) simply because of their console choice.

[Delta]

I hope i get to play this on my PS3 (i dont have a 360 anymore). I loved the first one. Too bad I can't port my saves over. Mass Effect is 360 best game IMO.

[NewZealander]

i played mass effect for the first time this year, and loved it, if they do it for the ps3 i just hope they do a good job, considering its unreal engine, but im sure they will get it right.

i will be playing ME2 on 360 though so i can continue my character.

[Bordel_1900]

If ME is ported to the PS3 I really hope it's a good port, there have been too many bad ports for me to get too exited. Worst case is xbox fanb0ys get more ammunition.

[Lou-Cipher]

I think everyone with a brain knows it will hit the PS3 sometime next year.

The question is will PS3 owners receive Mass Effect 1 as well as Mass Effect 2.

I'm still wanting Dead Rising 1 on the PS3, so who knows.

[CryWolf]

BioWare may put Mass Effect 1 on the same Blu-ray disc because it can hold more space.

[Sarcasm]

"BioWare may put Mass Effect 1 on the same Blu-ray disc because it can hold more space."

They wouldn't do it because it would undercut the sales of the first ME on 360.

Why buy ME for $20 if you could get ME1 and ME2 for $60 on PS3.

If anything, we'll just see ME2 for PS3. Don't hold your breath for ME1.

Then again, that's assuming we'll even see ME2 for PS3. Everything is rumor and speculation.

[jessupj]

I'd like to believe it's coming to the ps3 because I'd love to play it, but I really have no idea at this point.

If they do port it, however, they will most likely release it about 6 months after the 360 release. A year would probably be pushing it as interest would be pretty much dead by then. But to make make things fair, they will add ME1 and ME2 on the same disk instead of charging full price for a 6 month all game. Think about it guys, it makes sense. In my opinion, this is the most likely scenario which makes business sense because it solves all the hurdles that would arrise porting it to the ps3.

[LtSkittles]

I wonder if EA does this it's Mass Effect 1, and Mass Effect 2 in one Package, and they should do the same thing wisth L4D, and L4D 2.

Edit: @below I know, and I am sure EA would do the port.

[Bodyboarder_VGamer]

Valve hates the PS3 with a passion. Unless a company like EA wants to make the port (like they did with the Orange Box) I do not think L4D will ever see the light on the PS3.

[kaveti6616]

Valve does not hate the PS3. Stop spreading misinformation. Why would anyone hate, with a passion, an inanimate object? They don't have a division set up to produce for the PS3. They are mostly PC guys. They are happy with the extra money they make off of 360 ports. Developing for the PS3 would take more effort than they want to exert. The PS3 is not like a 360. There is no easy port process. Hence, Valve is not interested in the PS3. They do well enough for themselves on the PC.

Do you ever say that Activision Bliizard hates the PS3 and 360? Even though they don't develop for the consoles, it does NOT mean they hate them. They just make enough money from them their current platforms.

[LtSkittles]

Didn't Valve say they would be interested in doing stuff for the PS3?

[kaveti6616]

They did say something to that extent, but they also mentioned that they haven't set up the resources for that. This was a while ago. I think Valve is too busy with their current projects to shift resources for a PS3 group. Wait until Episode 3 is done and maybe then we will see progress with them. OF course Valve would love to make more money and releasing games on the PS3 would help them there. But as Gabe has said, he himself does not like working with unnecessarily complicated hardware, and doesn't want to have another crappy port fiasco on the PS3. He will wait until they have a dedicated team ready to work with the PS3.

[Pandamobile]

And Valve would still have to OK it before EA could do anything. Unlike Bioware, Valve hold the call. They're an independent studio.

Gabe said the Orange Box on PS3 was a disaster and no one should have to play a game like that.

[Parapraxis]

kaveti6616,
Valve as a company may not dislike the PS3, but you can be damned sure Gabe Newell has said many things to make people think HE hates the PS3.

[Pandamobile]

He's also not a fan of Windows Vista or the Xbox 360.

[calis]

Valve will never get my money.

[kaveti6616]

Gabe's opinions are not the final word. He likes the PC. He likes unified architecture. The SPUs in the PS3 are not unified. He has talked in length about this. If I were a developer, I'd be pissed, too. I love the power of the PS3, but I don't think it needed to have discrete processors.

[raztad]

@kave

Then as a developer you would have serious troubles with multi-core processors, which are pretty much standard by these days.

I think the principal issue, for PC devels, when coding for the PS3 is the two chunks of RAM memory and to use the cell in order to help the graphic card.

On topic: ME2 would be pretty cool (more games the better) I'm sure it will come some months after the xbox version. L4D is best played on the PC.

Oftopic: I'm playing Demons Souls, it's an INCREDIBLE game. Hard but fun/addictive/innovative as hell. Highly recommended.

[mastiffchild]

That's the thing Raztad, about L4D. I first played it on the PC(hadn't then gone back to owning a 360)and was really impressed(even if I only like the game in short bursts)and then when the normal fringe benefiots of PC gaming started turning up(mods, near full Valve support)it got better.

When I did get another 360 I bought it again to play with some mates that I'd not talked to/games with for a while and was disappointed, not onl;y with the normal lower performanve, but more with the way the game was neutered by the lack of any community support OR much in that respect even from Valve. Really, it's a pale imitation of it's PC brother and most of it's down to MS daft downloads policies. The L4D community on 360 is still big but it's just not as good a game without what you can get on PC and as we saw with what PS3 allowed from UT3 I feel L4D, purely as a game and taking Gabe and console ppolitics out of it, would be far better on the PS3 than on 360-it would be a lot more like tha package PC gamers det in any case which is a big improvement even if the performance would still lag a little behind your rig.

Whether L4D would sell as well on PS3 as it does on the shooter fan filled 360 community is another matter but as a total experience it would've been better with the freedom it would get on PS3-360 only gamers really get a raw deal in this respect and MS should loosen their restrictions and allow some damn free stuff now and again, imo, as in the long run it'd help sell the paid for stuff and more games.

And, I agree, if Gabe doesn't want to use multi processors he's possiblly best leaving the industry as there's goin to be more and more of it-I think he's just getting set in his ways and can't be arsed changing for new things anymore-which is a little sad.

[Pandamobile]

Valve has already shifted heavily into multicore processing. I read a bunch of their conference papers and they really went in depth on what multi-core means for each platform.

The PS3 only has one core. PC's have 1-4 (soon 6 and 8), and the 360 has 3.

For a game to work effectively on the PS3, you have to pretty much break it down and start from scratch. Since the PS3 only has one physical core, it offloads the load onto 6 SPE's (it has 8, but only 6 are usable by a dev). And this is where the major problem lies. Everything has to be specially coded and allocated to each SPE. One may do audio processing, one AI, one for physics, etc. But each SPE has a very tiny amount of memory which makes things even harder.

Long story short, the only way games really run well on the PS3 is if they were designed to do so in the first place. The Source engine was originally conceived in 2004, and has since gone through 3 major overhauls. The Episode 1 version of the engine added HDR lighting. The Orange Box engine added multi-core support and a 64 bit Source engine. The L4D engine drastically improved ont he multi-core support and added lots of filmic effects as well as the ability to have large amounts of AI present on the screen (goes hand in hand with multi-core support).

All of these improvements have been for the PC side of development since Valve's priority is the PC community, but since the 360's CPU architecture is quite similar to that used on modern PC CPU's, it carries over fairly easily.

This is largely why there won't be any more Valve games on the PS3. (sorry for the essay)

[Godmars290]

The PS3 has 8 sub-processors. Uses 6. Just like the 360 has 3.

That you didn't know that reduces the rest of your essay comment to, "blah-blah-b-blah..." ;

[Pandamobile]

Umm

"Since the PS3 only has one physical core, it offloads the load onto 6 SPE's (it has 8, but only 6 are usable by a dev)"

PS3's Cell is one CPU core, and 8 SPE's. 1 is locked for the PS3 OS, 1 is inactive, or does some mundane task.

The 360's CPU is basically a PC CPU with 3 cores.

SPE =/= core.

[Sarcasm]

As I've said in a different thread, I think the only way we'll see a Valve game on PS3 only if they set out to make a new engine similar to that of what id is doing with Rage.

[sikbeta]

If it come for the PS3, the problem is what is gonna happen with the first one, awesome anyways

[Ron_Burgundy]

[swiftshot93]

Braid and Castle Crashers

[deadreckoning666]

LOL, if Splinter Cell makes the jump, the damage to M$ would be HUGE.

[Saaking]

See that bots? Notice how it's CURRENT gen games coming to PS3 and not last-gen ps2 franchises? Yea, you guys are pretty dumb.

[swiftshot93]

oh and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[Chubear]

Over Lord and yes, that crappy game Vampire Rain. Crap game but was still an exclusive 360fans used to display on their list of "hot" 360 exclusives in the pipe line.

Exclusives are like a pool of water in the hands of the 360 base; they just slip through their fingers so easily.

[Chubear]

Ofcourse Splinter Cell is coming to the PS3... how many Splinter Cell games do you know that aren't on Playstation?

[ultimolu]

=P!

I bet it's coming.

[dustgavin]

Don't forget about Condemned!
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

[NewZealander]

Just like

1, Devil may cry
2, Final fantasy
3, Resident Evil
4, Tekken
5, Viruta Fighter
6, Grand Theft Auto
7, Metal Gear (Riseing)

and so on, did these franchise not used to be sony exclusives ? so whats your point

[ShinMaster]

You missed the point. The games he mentioned at the top, were released first or "exclusively" on the Xbox 360 and were said to never come to the PS3, but they did.

The games you mentioned were released as multiplatform from the beginning, with the exception of VF5, though that was never meant to be an exclusive.

Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, Virtua Fighter and Resident Evil were never Sony exclusives.
Can you even consider Metal Gear Rising a true Metal Gear Game? -_-

[Godmars290]

"We're still taking bids from Sony as well as MS to put the game on/keep it off the system.

[mastiffchild]

Or-we just like the fuss, the press and the spotlight? It helps sell our games when people are in a lather over where one of them's headed.

Or-we don't have the funds right now to do it but if we keep this bandwagon rolling maybe EA will get the checkbook out, free us up with MS and we can make even more from our biggest current gen franchise? More PS3 owners wanting the game=more chance of EA seeing dollar signs and doing what we want!

Or-what you said!

Honestly, saying this means anything concrete is silly just yet. While all outcomes are still possible all we know is, right now, nothing has altered at all.

[lloyd_wonder]

Could be like Lost Planet 2 and how that was announced for both platforms. Microsoft would do anything to keep a key franchise associated with the xbox even if it was coming to another platform.

[James Bond]

Believe it Xbots. Believe it. This is how Xbots feel right now.

[Ron_Burgundy]

being b!tchslapped around by the PS3!!! Good Vid!!! :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

[Dr_Nefarious]

lol, at Burgandy.

[ChanDangle]

Man if they can fit ME1 + ME2 on a single 50gig disk and sell it for $60 I'd def pick that up faster than a heart beat.

[Solans Scott]

It's coming!

[I am Legend]

Everyone should experience Mass Effect. It's a good game.

[calis]

That it is.

[bigrudowsky]

i'd say it's more than good. Mass effect imo is one of the best gaming experiences this gen.

[mastiffchild]

Word.

[Raoh]

mass effect gets the God of War Collection Treatment on the ps3

coooooooooooolllll

[Waldex_Encore]

Men, when this thing is oficially anounced, that day, the sky is goona rain blood from the ass of the bots

lol uts going to be a day to remember forever, "The day the Xbots finally exploded in anger"

[Ron_Burgundy]

but that always happens to the bots once every month

[ultimolu]

I'll be laughing my ass off by the time that happens. :D

[Odion]

Or he's a community manager and isn't allowed to say anything

[swiftshot93]

I anticipate the day the game is announced for PS3. I remember over 1000 comments on n4g with the story of FF13 going multiplatform. I think ME has been such a staple for 360 that it'll be as big as that :D

[mastiffchild]

ME is a good game, no doubt at all(I think I prolly enjoyed it more than I have a FF in a long time), however, FF is a VERY big deal, a vast franchise with some of the most committed fans within all of gaming-and a lot of them bought their PS3 JUST on the basis of the first FF13 trailers saying "only on PS3" for three years! Thats' why that was a big deal from SE.

ME2 going to PS3 isn't quite in that league even if it will, if it does ever happen, ruffle a few feathers. Besides, I doubt that, after just one episode, 360 gamers are so precious about Hass Effect just yet PLUS noone ever said it was NEVER going elsewhere, did they unlike SE with FF13? Big, just not THAT big, imo.

[swiftshot93]

These kinds of things piss me off. Just deny the damn game so you dont get people's hopes up, or just confirm that it will be a timed exclusive.

[calis]

I agree. It bugs me to no end.

Yes or no isn't much of an ask.

[kaveti6616]

Curious... very curious.

I'm actually hoping this happens because the first Mass Effect on the 360 has a few technical issues that really annoyed me to point of me not playing it after 4 hours. So, if the game comes to PS3 with those hitches ironed out I will of course be willing to purchase it again and try to understand what's so wonderful about this game.

[swiftshot93]

everyone complains about the texture pop-in for ME, but that wasnt the biggest problem. ME had the most inconsistent framerate in a game Ive played this generation. At times it really was unbearable. So I definitely dont want a port with the same results.

[Lucreto]

I hope it appears on the PS3.

I never played a Bioware game yet. Dragon Age might be my first one if I can get confirmation that I can reduce or turn off the blood and gore on the console version.

Anyway I think "no comment" would be the worst thing to say the fanboys would eat it up.

[DonCorneo]

the xbots there were down playing uncharted 2's graphics and gameplay and saying how ME2 is an awesome title. i doubt the even played the first one.

let's face it: Mass Effect was not even that good and the sequel looks more boring. but bots make it out like ME2 is the best game ever. i wonder whether they'll still say the same thing once ME2 comes to the ps3.

[Bereaver]

Sorry, I'm a ps3 fanboy, but I loved ME. Choosing skills, leveling up, finding new stuff. I guess that's my kind of game.

It's kinda like a space Africa game but with guns, politics, and choices. lol

If it does come, I'm ready for it.

[Saaking]

Thank you for beta testing bots. No comment= confirmed. Cry more. Looks like 2010 is going to be another epic failure for the failbox. next up SCC.

[steck67]

Mass Effect is one of my favorite PC games (dont game on PC as much). It would be great if they released Mass Effect 2 on PS3. It would be even better if they release Mass Effect 1 to PS3 before ME2 with additional content.

[CryWolf]

O this is Awesome! Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PS3 and BioWare has just confirm it by not saying anything its a good day to be a Sony fan.

[ThaOutKast]

"No comment" on the RELEASED Pinnacle Station DLC lol. This may be different though, we will have to wait and see.

[Noob]

Just tell us already so we can move on.

[harrisk954]

The "smiley" emoticon says it all. :)

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Jack tretton on stage at E3 2010.

Mark your lil halo calenders bots, that's when you'll be losing mass effect

[aaronisbla]

Let the speculation begin all over again, please EA, Bioware, just say whether or not its coming.

[xoxideu]

I think splinter cell is the next one..

that one may pop up with TBA on ps3

[MetalGearBear]

lol, lose another game on 360.

[CryWolf]

xbot just keep losing exclusives next it by be Gear Of War

[cmrbe]

its a good game but its not anywhere near as good as VC imo.

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

and yes it is super overrated that does not mean its not a good game just they hype it has in some people hearts i feel is undeserved for such a young game....but i feel the same way about uncharted so i respect it and i love the game also

[ichimaru]

ilove how everyone is celebrating when at e3 no one wanted a thing to do with ME :D

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

But a gain for the gaming community as a whole...this is not one of those games that solely belongs on one system...I beat it and will get the second on my 360

[dkgshiz]

Well thats pretty much settled. They would of denied it by now.

[LtSkittles]

It's Sunday, and I'm pretty sure it will be denied if not true sometime this week.

[moblin]

It's alive!

[seifer085]

Maybe maybe not, I want Valve to do Ps3 games or even EA porting them because I have The orange Box Ps3 and I see no big prob keepin me from buying more EA ports from Valve.
Mass Effect 2 I'll give it a try even though I don't like WRpg's

[Spike47]

The first one was great.

[Figboy]

i may seriously consider selling my Xbox 360.

i bought an Xbox 360 for these games:

Mass Effect
Fable 2

Fable 2 was a big disappointment (i enjoyed it, don't get me wrong, but i think the first one did a lot of things better than the second. if i could somehow meld the two, i'd be happy).

Alan Wake interests me, as does Fable 3 and Crackdown 2, but i can always play those on my friends 360.

i usually don't sell consoles, because i'm always afraid there will be some great games worth owning on it, but i only own Fable 2, Mass Effect, and Shadow Complex on my 360. all the other games are coming out on the PS3, or are tied to Halo, Gears, or Splinter Cell, and i'm not a fan of those series. i only owned about 5 Xbox games last gen, and over 50 or more PS2 games. i still kept my Xbox, and didn't sell it until i got my 360.

considering that EA owns Bioware, and Bioware owns Mass Effect, i wouldn't be surprised if it came to the PS3.

what was the argument when exclusives from the PS3 were jumping to the 360? "if they can make more money on both consoles, then why not?" the Playstation 3 is less than 6 million units behind the 360 (even if we ignore refurbished 360's being counted as "new sales") and has a stable install base and attach rate, i don't see why EA or Bioware would keep it exclusive to one platform for long. it's not like they're keeping it exclusive because it's not possible on the PS3 (games like Uncharted 2, MGS4, and Killzone 2 prove that) and other tech reasons.

a 25-50gig Blu Ray and standard HDD would do wonders for Mass Effect, truth told.

i love Mass Effect, and if it came to the PS3 with performance improvements (ie, shorter load times, framerate issues fixed), i'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

more than likely i'll keep my 360 (for Fable 3 and Crackdown 2). i DO like it, i just wish it had more software that appealed to me (there are only so many 3rd person and FPS games i can play; the JRPGs on the 360 are average at best, and not much beyond what i played on the PS2 last gen. it's not a bad thing, just a "been there, done that" thing).

Was not a good game to me...the battle system and the fighting and the movement was like a ps2 game....i personally was never impressed and wont be buying the second one...they should have made a sequel to another game or a new franchise

[Figboy]

but at the time it was very enjoyable. i really liked running around leaping from building to building.

problem was, after i cleared out all of the gangs, i didn't have anything to do.

i think inFAMOUS is way better than Crackdown, but not because Crackdown wasn't fun.

it was mindless fun, but fun nonetheless.

[Ninji]

Looks like the xbots will be losing yet another console exclusive.

[Allowen]

If the game Mass effect 2 really comes to the PS3 I guess we will see a novel again like the one with FXIII and the many daleys,

Since Bioware is not dennying then this might be true and they are discussing agreements right now when and where to launch..... maybe ME2 will be exclusive to the xbox360 in USA and avaiable to the PS3 on the rest of the world .
LOL

[JonnyBigBoss]

I'd put money on the fact that it'll eventually be on the PS3.

[The_Beast]

sry bots

[Dutch Boogie]

LOL the game is coming to ps3. It's all a matter of when.

[Digitaldude]

That would be unexpected to me.
Im not sure if i would buy it even if it came to ps3 but it would be nice to have the option.

[Sigh]

that smiley face gives hope!

[ultimolu]

That's a must-buy for me if it comes.

[baodeus]

ME is a really story driven game (One of the best WRPG) so if it does come to PS3, u guys are in for a treat. I just don't want ME to be an excuse for the fanboy to brag why my system is superior than yours kinda sh%^%.

I will buy ME2 for the x360 though cause of the save files. Actually i'll buy all multiplatform game on x360 anyways, and some on PS3 for exclusive games (UC2, ICO, GT5.....)

[shiver130]

First day buy if Mass Effect 2 comes to Ps3. Mass Effect is definitely one of the games I would have bought a 360 to play. But other than that, I'll stick with what I've got :)

[Unicron]

I'll stick with the PC version personally.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Wasn't the first game published by Microsoft? So I cannot see the first one coming to the PS3.

Also the developers already said that you dont need to have played the first to play the second as the games story unfolds as you play.

So in reference to the latter it 'could' come to the PS3...I think Microsoft have made enough stupid decisions and letting Mass Effect slip out of their hands into the hands of EA was another stupid mistake.

[Pandamobile]

It was published by Microsoft on the 360. EA published the PC version.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

The reason I bought my 360...is probably coming to PS3.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

"Mass Effect 2 for PS3 confirmed"

Fanboy tears will be so delicious that day.

[Pirateogta]

Not as delicious as those Final Fantasy and Metal Gear tears.

[HDgamer]

I like pie

[tordavis]

I thought there were no good games on the 360?

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Halo and Gears aren't good.

Mass Effect, PGR and Fable II are.

[Anemeros]

You thought there were no good games on the 360? You must eat BS for breakfast.

There are more good exclusives on the 360 than there are on the PS3. That's not to say that they are better games, there just happen to be more good ones than bad ones compared to the PS3.

[HolaTarola]

Whats?
More good exclusives on 360? LMFAO..

Ok, 360 have Gears, Halo, Mass Effect & L4D. 4 good exclusives.

PS3 have, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Resistance, Valkyria Chronicles, Demons Souls, inFAMOUS, Killzone 2, Ratchet & Clank Future, and next year, Gran Turismo 5, God Of War III, The Last Guardian, Agent, FF Versus XIII, White Knight Chronicles, Yakuza 3, and maybe Twisted Metal.

PS3 have MORE & BETTER games that 360, that's a fact!

[Anemeros]

That's a fact in your world, but not in mine. Half the games you listed are overrated, such as: Uncharted 1, Resistance 1 & 2, Infamous, Killzone 2... The others haven't come out yet so I won't even comment on those.

I don't even like Gears or Halo, yet they are of higher quality than any shooter or FPS on the PS3 to date. MGS4 happens to be the best game on your list of examples, and it's also the only one that I've wanted to play more than once.

[Tripl3seis]

if this comes true omg! Ill get ME 1+ME 2 on one single blu ray disc that would be awesome.

[penyx]

I am pretty sure its it coming, Anyone remember the Exclusive Preorder Armor for both ME2 and Dragon Age? well since preorder for PS3 ver have the same gift as the 360 & PC ver. It just means ME2 is pretty much coming to ps3.

[Shadow Man]

phuck! :(

[spektical]

idk, i want to say yes its coming, because they said no comment. We all take everything a publisher says to literally and maybe EA isnt going to release on the ps3 and dont want to waste their time clarifying mis queues. Then again, they could've just said "no"...

[dragonyght]

wow looks like they just added more fuel to the fire how nice of them

[Anemeros]

Anything can happen. Nintendo is the only brand that has managed to keep big-name exclusives... exclusive.

In the end, the only thing that prevents Xbox and Playstation games from being multiplatform is money-related. The whole "That system can't handle it" argument is propaganda.

[Pirateogta]

That's what every company says in response to rumors. "We don't comment on rumors." It doesn't mean anything that they didn't deny the existence of a PS3 version.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Whatever helps you sleep at night

[CertifiedGamer]

Now that the ps3 is outselling the 360 everyone knows EA knows it and EA is known for being money hungry thats why your going to see these games on the ps3.
When splinter cell comes out chances are it will end up like Ninja Gaiden in both platforms and Ubisoft make sure it happens.
The only exclusive microsoft is left with is Alan wake which will comeout in march 2010 right next to God of War 3 for ps3.

Natal is going to cost atleast $200 while the motion controller for ps3 is going for $75 the most.
2011 ps3 takes the lead over 360
2012 microsoft announce the xbox 720
2012 the world ends but the ps3 owners get saved by its alien technology
2013 the ps4 is a outer galaxy ship seeking like in a distance in a galaxy far away
2113 Humans arrive in the planet of xbot only to be reconized as the smartest aliens ever and the xbots are super retarded
Every xbot female gets mclove by humans and the journey continues.

[gameman]

HAHAHAHAHA

ME2 confirmed for the PS3

[xg-ei8ht]

1&2 are incoming

[OmegaSlayer]

I would be amongst the top 10 happier gamers if Mass Effect 1 AND 2 will be on PS3.
If only ME2 will be out I won't care less...
But just imagine if BioWare releases Mass Effect 1 with the gameplay and graphics improvements they are doing in ME2...

[bjornbear]

thats what i think! I believe they will somehow release ME1 & 2 on one blu ray! i dno why people find that so insane! It'd sell the same if not MORE! and cost nothing too =)

[bjornbear]

Mass Effect 2 for PS3! =D...hopefully 1 comes out too....somehow =(

If this happens though what will 360 have for exclusives? Halo and Gears? =/ not looking good

[HugeImpact]

lol sony taking 360 exclusives, this is signifiying how powerful the ps3 is.

[Karum]

Sounds like timed exclusive to 360/pc stuff going on here

Whats the betting that at some point down the line here, EA publish ME1 on PS3 and then ME2 at some point after?

[HOSe]

maybe gabe will one day come over to the darkside and make a killer ps3/ ps4?!?!?!? game... one can dream

[Niske]

you made me lol :-)

[Ebi]

PS3.
It only does E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

I just picked up my Uncharted 2 Slim 250GB bundle earlier today and I'm LOVING IT!!!! Let's be fair, the 360 had a 'decent' *cough* run, but c'mon.... Sony has been, currently is, and will always be the moniker of video game entertainment.

[chrisulloa]

Bioware doesn't comment on rumors. It's a policy, we can say that Mass Effect is coming on the Wii and they still won't comment. However, the listings were a mistake. Only PS3tards would get excited over a russian game store typo.

[Ebi]

And only a Xbot will get his knickers in a twist to defend a Russian game store typo. :p

[dark_101]

EA Russia FAIL !

[360_Rules]

It's a mistake Mass Effect 2 is only on the 360. Sorry but you aren't going to play this great game on your console. Now back to waiting for your Games. Hahahhaha
