Now EA Russia list Mass Effect 2 for PS3

Mere hours after Australian retailer GAME added a PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 to their database EA Russia has added fuel to the fire, listing Mass Effect 2 for PS3 in addition to Xbox 360 and PC on their official website.

EA Russia's official website lists Mass Effect 2 as being for Xbox 360, PC and PS3, an interesting timing in the change considering GAME's addition of the game to their PS3 database.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

we all know this is bound to happen. This is EA we are talking about. Microsoft isnt in control of this franchise anymore. My question is how are they going to get people to understand what happened in the first part.

[deadreckoning666]

LOL..this is too good :D
But I'm more interested in Splinter Cell: Conviction or L4D 2 making the jump. Not saying Mass Effect is bad, but the only RPG franchise ive ever cared for was Shenmue.

Edit: LOL, bring on the Phantom disagrees!!!

[meepmoopmeep]

there's an EA Russia?

EDIT: a phantom disagree is hurt by the news apparently :)

[sonarus]

With so many rumors of this happening its hard to believe this news. But getting mass effect 2 would be huge for PS3

[SullyDrake]

I bought a 360. If the game comes out for PS3 I'll still get it on 360 because I can carry over my character. Mass Effect isn't on PS3, and carrying over your character is a huge innovation that would be missed.

If the trilogy goes to PS3, I'll play it on both systems, because it is just that great.

Edit: Wow a disagree already? I love how someone disagrees with me playing a great game! You're cool buddy! ;D

[meepmoopmeep]

it doesn't matter to me either mitchell

i get to play it regardless

[Blaze929]

....and the outcome of that was?

[swiftshot93]

Let me just point out, that Bioware isnt making Mass Effect 2 with only those who have played the first in mind. That would extremely limit the target audience. Anyone who hasnt played the first would still be able to enjoy to the second. Maybe even more so because of all the gameplay enhancements.

With that said, I have Mass Effect on 360 and I plan to replay the game to have my character's choices to my likings in preperation of Mass Effect 2. ME is still the best 360 exclusive 2 years later and I cant wait for the second.

[meepmoopmeep]

yeah, it's not like they're making it so that you HAVE to have played 1 to play 2

it's just a cool feature to carry over your choices, character and whatever.

[cereal_killa]

EA doesn't own Valve.

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

"sigh", EA of Russia is not Bioware of America or Europe.

[omni_atlas]

I don't know why you guys keep on saying its an exclusive. ME 1 was also released on the PC. PC + Xbox 360 /= exclusive.

[qface64]

the thing that surprised me is that there is an EA RUSSIA???

[Sarcasm]

"EA of Russia is not Bioware of America or Europe. "

Bioware of America or Europe is owned by EA.

[Chubear]

..and I don't really like RPGs; WRPGs maybe bearable but JRPGs mean nothing to me but I just don't do RPGs in general. However Mass Effect was that one action WRPG that got me to sit up and take notice.

However, since the release of Demon Souls and the pending release of other Action WRPGs next year, I find I don't care as much for Mass Effect as I once did. Demon Souls has totally wiped the Mass Effect craving clean of the map for me.

Maybe it's because I'm more a Sword, axe, bow&arrow melee type rather than a pew pew pew type gamer but still, Mass Effect doesn't seem so alluring to me anymore. I'd guess EA would have to really make it the PS3's base's while and do something really good with the PS3 version cause, heck, I and most PS3 gamers can hardly keep up with exclusives we want to experience talk less of those few really hot multiplat gems that just can't be missed and if ME doesn't do something really good, many PS3 gamers will likely put it on their back burner rental list next year.

[ActionBastard]

I'll probably still be trying to beat Demon's Souls or playing 3D Dot to give a sh!t about ME or ME2. If they come to PS3, cool. If not, cool.

[chaosatom]

I'll just wait for the official news but it does look likely.

[NewZealander]

it will probably have a story at the start to fill ps3 owners in on what they missed, and you can create a character with a questionair that tailors them to what they should be if they had played the last game, its no big deal if you haven't played the first game.

its a shame it probably wont stay 360 exclusive, but thats the way things go, especially when EA is involved, so no surprises there.

[OhNoez]

they should port the first game, then release sequel on PS3

[slayorofgods]

EA wants all their games to be multi platform. Sure it'll come off as a huge steal for the PS3, but the huge steal all started the moment Bioware was bought out by EA.

As far as being multi platform; EA is a successful enough company and doesn't need MS payouts the way Bioware did. I also suspect that EA is stable enough to not flinch when MS shouts out buyout threats (I know it happened once already). They are going to be their own company so get used to it.

[fishd]

Superior PC version for teh win!

[MadBoJangles]

Unless they release both the 1st and 2nd on PS3, I will be buying it on 360. Mainly so I can transfer my character over to the 2nd game.

PS3 is my current flavour of the month, but I can't see the attraction for anyone who has played the 1st on 360 to just buy the 2nd on PS3?

[Pika-pie]

It deleted my saves when I removed the installed game from the HD to free up space. I just wanted to remove the install!!! not everything!!! Stupid system.

Was so pi**ed.. so I will deff get the PS3 version if it comes.

[Tony P]

Would not be at all surprised if it's true. EA have never officially come out to say anything about it not coming to PS3. For all their nuanced talk that it's definitely coming to PC and 360, they have nothing firm to say about PS3 possibilities. I'm sure that must mean the idea isn't exactly anathema or maybe they were in talks to decide just that. Hopefully Monday brings some definitive clarification. Kinda tired of "rumors" about ME2. Just say yes or no already.

[MiloGarret]

Actually yeah, Bioware have been extremely clear that Mass Effect is a trilogy in which all games have to be played to fully grasp the game and story, so yeah Bioware is actually constructing Mass Effect 2 around the idea that the player already finished Mass Effect 1. On the other side, EA's ambitions are likely not as profound, so i guess it's possible for Mass Effect 2 to make the jump. However, personally I find it more credible that both Mass Effect 1 & 2 are released together on a giant blu-ray, I guess. I seriously doubt that just ME2 would be ported...

Doesn't concern me, I played ME on my 360 and I'll play ME2 on my 360.

[SCThor]

I don't want my console die on me while I'm playing it, so I'll get it in the other console.

[divideby0]

L4D = Most overrated GOTY...wont buy the 2nd one for the PS3...after buying the first regardless of what console its on

[zeeshan]

They can explain what happened in the first game using cut scenes or a CGI Story. Then they can give you an option to customize your character. Basically, there are many ways to take care of this issue.

[DeadlyFire]

They could throw ME 1 and 2 on the same disc. Remember Xbox 360 uses DVDs(About 8 GB per disc) and PS3 has Blu-Ray discs(About 25 or 50 GB per disc). It could fit on there pretty well. I was expecting EA to make this announcement of ME 2 coming, but I guess they decided to wait until 2010 to say for certain of it coming to PS3.

[ShadowCK]

Let's get something straight here my fellow PS3 Fanboys, Mass Effect 2 will NEVER be on the Playstation 3. Look at the site's name that is reporting this, its name basically confirms it is not reliable.

Secondly, Microsoft still has some control over the Mass Effect series, this is evident by the fact they not EA released the Mass Effect: 2-Disc Edition. Remember, Bioware signed a deal with Microsoft for Exclusivity to the 360 for the Mass Effect Trilogy; EA having bought Bioware is now bound by that agreement. It doesn't go away because EA owns Bioware since Bioware still exists in name.

The likelyhood of it going to the PS3 is slim and almost nil in the current market. You have to remember, it is not a simple "Copy + Paste" to another format in this generation. It costs money to release it on many systems, and you need to have balance, is the Mass Effect audience big enough to support a move to the PS3? Will it generate more sales of the game? What would Sony want if anything to allow it on the PS3?

There are a lot of risks involved in many an established series Multiplatform, it is not just a simple thing. You must remember, making two different version of the game requires with you dealing with a lot more work and more work costs more money. You'll have to deal with other companies you do business with believe it or not, such a move could COST EA a lot of money in the future.

Also, In the official press releases, they mention all platforms the game is coming to. The absence of PS3 in the Mass Effect 2’s official announcement means that it is currently, in no tangible sense, being planned for a PS3 release. If it was, that would have been in the announcement.

[morganfell]

EA is not going to throw away the profit they could get by bringing ME 1 to the PS3. I believe we will see that appear on the PS3, in the definitive version, before ME2 comes to the PS3.

[thesummerofgeorge]

I would be very happy if I didn't have to play ME2 on my laptop. I think this would be very bad news for Microsoft though, they really need all the exclusive big name games they can get, this is not the time to be losing exclusivity to their bread n butter titles.

[mdt hunter]

nothing will surprise me
after all those surprises in this gen i don't believe in third party exclusives

[Bumpmapping]

PS3 it only takes sh!t box last good games....

[N4G king]

well
all those "typos" says one thing
this game is coming to the PS3

[skeletonss]

your argument is A LITTLE bit closer. but a little more proof untill i admit defeat and tell you you were right..

[Sunny_D]

Ok, I was wrong in the other article, it IS coming. I believe you Bumpmapping. :)

[54percent]

Bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu-bu- bu-bu-bu-but teh excluuuuziveee!!111

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

bu-bu-bu-bu-but nothing.

id wait for an official statement.

edit, are you guys that desperate for an other crappy 360 to ps3 port?

[Xlll]

"bu-bu-bu-bu-but nothing.

id wait for an official statement.

edit, are you guys that desperate for an other crappy 360 to ps3 port?"

Even if this is not true we can still play it on a PC. lol So much for exclusives on the fail box eh?

[Foliage]

"edit, are you guys that desperate for an other crappy 360 to ps3 port?"

MGSR I really don't understand you. First off your username suggests you are a PS3 fan, seeing as that is where you would find the HD version of MGSR, but you are obviously an xbot. Now you make another comment against the crappy 360. You are right, any 360 game is crap in comparison to PS3 games. So to answer your question: no, PS3 fans are not desperate for a crappy 360 game. There are about 20 better games already coming to the PS3, this is just icing on the cake. I do know one thing for sure, 360 fans are desperate for any game right about now. The last big game on the 360 just scored 7/10 on a xbot fansite. That's sad.

[GUNS N SWORDS]

"The last big game on the 360 just scored 7/10 on a xbot fansite. That's sad."

you mean forza3?

[TheXgamerLive]

You know it;s never coming to the wannabe ps3 console, stop stop looking like fools and it does not list it as a ps3, sad lil girls you are.

[LordMarius]

Im still not a believer of ever seeing this series on the PS3, as long as MS has money, I dont see this happening

[N4G king]

"as long as MS has money"

i dont think MS gives a sh1t about this game
because if they do
they would buy the IP just like they did with halo and GeOW

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Actually, I think the Bioware/ME situation is just like GeoW. The publisher/developer owns the ip, but the first 3 games (trilogy) is exclusive due to MS funding.

If you notice, the 1st ME was published by MS and so are both the GeoW gaems!

Although, there are a lot of rumours, I think the likely-hood of it coming to PS3 is slim. People kept having rumours of GeoW series appearing on the PS3 as well. So far that hasn't happened.

[cereal_killa]

N4g King I don't think M$ owns the Gears IP Halo yes but not Gears it's own by Epic, Epic only has a 2 game Deal with the Gears franchise so Gears 3 is open for multi-plat if Epic chooses to.

[N4G king]

im not sure about gears but as far as i know
MS owns something in Gears
maybe some numbered games

"Actually, I think the Bioware/ME situation is just like GeoW."

sorry
EPIC is privet and MS did pay money towards gears of war
while bioware is owned by EA which makes most of its money of the PS3
now why would EA have such a big game and keep it to one console while it can cross it over and make double the money ??

[calis]

Tecmo proved exclusive deals can be broken/loopholed.

Gears of War Sigma
Mass Effect Sigma

[slayorofgods]

Microsoft only owns publishing rights to the first Mass Effect game, they do not own publishing rights to the name "Mass Effect" so any sequels are a free for all.

Microsoft does own publishing rights to the name "GeOW" as well as the 2 game deal, so GeOW 3 is likely to be a 360 exclusive.

However loopholes are always possible, and also risky.

[beardpapa]

An ME2 coming to the PS3 may be slim, but if it does, it'll be good for PS3 owners to enjoy another fine RPG into their lineup. And it doesn't matter if they never played ME1 and don't know about the story. Bioware can just put a history lesson during the intro scene or whatnot about the events that happened in ME1. May not be great, but it's a workaround.

[bjornbear]

I still believe they'll make ME1 available for PS3...I think they should.

Either way! I hope its true!! Only game i'd really get a 360 for...if it comes out there'll be NO reason at all =D

But if it comes out...next year is going to be an even POORER year for me =(!!!!!

[sabestar]

Wow, can it be 2 places committing the same mistake at the same time?

I would really be thrilled if mass effect makes it to ps3

[Mc Fadge]

Because EA is making the game

[life doomer]

Report history:

"Lame: (11 minutes ago)
They are russians."

I saw all the lols and I planned to do lmao...curse you!

[shadow2797]

Nice Combo Breaker ;-)

[darkmurder]

All aboard the lol train. lol

[Ron_Burgundy]

will gladly accept this game into the PS3's library

and with that being said, who said i would buy this game, unless they show that the PS3 version is vastly superior than the pissbox version and not just ported

[tameem009]

Another Sh**BOX Game coming to PS3(it only steals exclusives)

[RockmanII7]

http://media.ign.com/games/...

[spektical]

well if the game is posted on gamefly, we all know it will be coming to the ps3.

[StanLee]

LOL. You're so right. I use Gamefly to get release dates for all my games but it's not on Gamefly for PS3 yet.

[Anti-Fanboyer]

I mean would it be any different if it was any other site?

[Odion]

ya cause an Aussie retailer on a Saturday must have the inside scoop on what EA is doing.

Whoops wrong reply

[Odion]

The same thing happened with L4D2 going up on EA's store, doesn't mean its real

[swiftshot93]

But you cant ignore that this came up in contingency with the Australian retailer's rumor.

[JD_Shadow]

Yeah, and Valve, unlike Bioware, seem to want to piss all over the PS3 and its owners still while pretending that the code is somehow too hard for them to understand.

[topdawg122]

Safe to say Ps3 has better games overall, definitely gettin this for ps3 when it comes out.

[ballsofsteel]

wow how the hell is this crap approved seriously. these aren't even good retailer? first a "major" australian retailer and now EA russia? who the hell even knew an EA russia existed. if it was amazon or best buy or something but this crap is from obscure places that have no credibility. until EA and bioware come out saying it's for PS3 it ain't gonna happen

[Mr Logic]

It doesn't matter if Russia or any country. The point is that it's posted on an official EA site.

I personally hate all RPGs so this news doesn't affect me in the slightest.

[reuben4boston]

Isn't a store there buddy. It actually is part of EA, which is exactly what your looking for.

[ballsofsteel]

wow people need to understand that the the arm of one company isn't the same as the other. look as sony computer entertainment it's american, european, and japanese division really don't have anything to do with each other other than the fact that they're all a part of sony. each owns different game developers and publishes different games. bioware is based out of Montreal and austin so the fact the this is russia means absolutely nothing. if this was EA america or something you guys might be on to something and you guys are simply forgetting that almost all the time this is just some tech error and means absolutly nothing if you think this is proof then your setting yourselves up for disappointment

[Wolf873]

there's no reason to believe any of this, because it could be due to misinformation or an error. However, the franchise is solid and would benefit from coming to PS3 as well. I personally prefer to have it on my PC.

[Pandamobile]

False alarm. Move along.

Something suddenly appearing or disappearing on the publisher's website doesn't confirm that it's in development or abandoned.

On a side note, why is it always the PS3 version?

Ubisoft's site: the listing for I Am Alive PS3 disappeared one day.
EA's site: listing L4D2 on PS3
Now EA's Russian site listing Mass Effect 2 on PS3.

[HolaTarola]

Because when Microsoft write a check the publisher/developer take down the PS3 version, but when the bank say that the check was a bad one, then the PS3 version is up again. :)

lol just kidding, idk really but is a good question.

[Pandamobile]

Yet I arbitrarily get 4 disagrees for saying something that isn't negative at all...

[Ron_Burgundy]

[TheFury]

Eternal Sonata also got an upgrade.

Thankyou, good sir. Bubbles to you too.

[Chubear]

... Add Over Lord to the list too while you're at it. Heck you could even add Vampire Rain. Absolute trashed game but was also a 360 exclusive that went PS3 multiplat none-the-less.

I guess the developers where hoping they'd find a couple more suckers on the PS3... they were wrong I guess XD

Gosh, I remember these games being on those coveted 360 exclusive lists that the 360 fans would diligently jot down on every forum when flexing their e-muscle but as soon as reviews land they scatter like a grenade dropped and totally pretend they've never heard of these exclusives.

[Chubear]

Look at that list and you'll see that every game on that list came out as a 360 exclusive with no mention of it going multiplat at all but they soon enough did.

Now ask yourself, how many games came out as a PS3 exclusive but then went 360 multiplat? Again, I know English comprehension is tough for some so I'll repeat

HOW MANY GAMES CAME OUT AS A ps3 EXCLUSIVE BUT THEN WENT 360 MULTIPLAT?

Please, don't insult yourself by listing games that were "announced" as PS3 exclusive for a period in time but then later announced coming to the 360 on an upcoming launch date. Negociations for this type of stuff goes on from announcement to announcement but hey, once a game comes out as an exclusive and then goes multi a relatively short time afterwards, that's a troubling sign... especially if it happens over and over and over again.

Ok, I'm waiting on that list... I'm hoping UT3, Assassin's Creed, yada yada yada isn't going to be on that list to make you look like a buffoon though. :P

[The Killer]

total ownage!!!

so true, all 360 exclusives almost are just a test beta then ps3 get the complete version hahahahaha!!!!

damn must be terrible to be TheMart or pp now!!

where are they by the way?

[Shane Kim]

HAHAHAH Ron that was pure ownage.

[colossi16]

I'm replaying the game right now.

Does it have to be from a different country's website? I need to have a formal announcement to believe it. If this is true then I hope they also port the first one.

[meepmoopmeep]

nah, it's nothing official, it could just be a typo or error like we've seen in the past

[tameem009]

LMAO!!

[Bumpmapping]

Indeed :)

@sunnyd Told ya :)

[playstation123]

Another 360 exclusive stolen, Im loving this.

[ELite_Ghost]

i'm a ps3 fanboy, but i dont' give a crap about this game, this is prob a mistake anyway. i'll play on my awesome comp with 1080p graphics ultra high everything. Even tho the first one diddn't even go 1080p on pc XD

[whothedog]

dun dun. dun dun

Watch out Mass Effect 2, PS3 is right behind you!

[Dude420]

I don't know why, but I had the thought of PS3 fanboys coming after ME2. dun dun...dun dun

[ZOMBIEMAN1]

no one believe this it's obviously a typo it happened to L4D & L4D2 Mass Effect won't see the light of day on PS3 ever

[cereal_killa]

EA owns Bioware they have no control on what system there game goes on ME1 may have been published by M$ but that doesn't stop EA from doing ME sigma 1 like the Ninja Gaiden loop hole.

[whothedog]

EA could play MS like a fiddle if they wanted to right now,

"Hey want to keep one of your former exclusives, exclusive?"

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Wam Bam, Thank you ma'am! win win for EA.

Edit1:
IMHO, I Think EA were giving MS a chance to put up the money to keep it exclusive, hence why they did not announced that it's NOT coming to the PS3, they would of stated it's exclusivity. If that is somewhat true I would imagine that it was a large amount because it's a high profile game, and I don't think MS ponied up. We will see in due time though.

They will not pass up all the money that could be made on the PS3 without another incentive.

Edit2@below - Nice, I agree as I was just editing my comment haha.

[Mc Fadge]

They've already played that card, and I suspect they have

[emk2004]

i mean it is ea and they didnt buy up bioware not to whore them out. wont be supprised if it come 2 ps3.

i got a quick question when it comes 2 the publisher. u know how ninja giden comes out with ng2 and ng2 sigma couldnt epic bring both gears1 and 2 to ps3 if they did somthing similar since they own the ip and microsoft had only a 2 game deal.

[whothedog]

I would imagine that they have different contracts but you never know, well I don't. I don't think they would do it regardless though, next one though....

[Bumpmapping]

LMFAO

[AuToFiRE]

i will give everyone here bubbles because im feeling good that the Dark Side is becoming more powerful every moment

[Static-X]

Now repay the favour.

[gamingisnotacrime]

Then i would be even happier that i sold my 360
If not true, then i will miss this game

[Mc Fadge]

PC

[Ravage27]

it shouldn't be a problem for ME2

[LONEWOLF231]

Well there you have it ladies and Gents.
There is no denying it now. Mass Effect 2 is PS3 bound.

[playstation123]

Bubbles for me too, my bubbles are going down like 360 sales.

[LordMarius]

now repay the favor

[Chubear]

Haven't been on for a while but for the 2 days I've been back on N4G two of my bubbles were gobbled up. I tells ya, it's murder out here but heck, somebody's going to lose an eye in war I guess *sniff*

lol

[Bumpmapping]

Castle crashers and Braid.

@Everyone Bubbles on the house :)

[sikbeta]

This is good for gamers, this is a quality game and if comes to PS3 will be awesome, end of the story

[Fade_Walker]

Unless they are going to bundle the first Mass Effect this just seems pointless to me.

But if they do include Mass Effect 1 I would be more then happy to buy it for PS3 as well.

[RockmanII7]

*Raises eyebrow*
This is starting to get interesting

[life doomer]

Bubbles for everyone too. I quite being a fanboy because i just bought a ps3. Now I have a ps3 and a 360.

[lh_swe]

But seriously a smart purchase, now is the best time, a lot of amazing exclusives to catch up on and a future that only looks brighter, throw in a blu-ray player, free online service etc and that encompasses an awesome deal. As a gamer in today's day and age it's stupid not to want or at least strive to own both systems.

I did the same with the 360, at first I let my prejudice of it's problem cloud my judgement about the thins it does well, but now I have looked past that and I am much happier.

[life doomer]

It will be nice for ps3 owners to enjoy mass effect, be a player not a hater.

Edit: at below, mass effect will also be one of my top 360 exclusives to go to the ps3.

[spunnups]

Rut Roh. With all these rumors, I'm gonna make a wild prediction. I expect to see Mass Effect: Game of the Year Edition (or something to effect) on the PS3 in Q1 of Next Year. 6 - 12 Months Later Mass Effect 2. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Would be nice if the franchise came over. Of all the 360 exclusives, this would be my choice to go Multi.

[00]

.

[JonnyBigBoss]

This would be megaton news, but I'm not putting money on it.

[PandemicPrawn0]

Mass Effect is a great series, and the more gamers that get to experience it the better.

On one hand I kind of feel for Microsoft on this one, they have a great RPG franchise in Mass Effect and I'm sure that they would not like to see it go multiplatform.

But Microsoft had their chance to buy Boiware and done nothing. They seem to think that building relationships and writing cheques for developers will be enough. If Mass Effect does go to the PS3, I hope Microsoft take a lesson away from it and start to become more aggressive when it comes to exclusives.

[pain777pas]

Look when I bought my 360 I was buying into Bioware remaining a first party dev with Mistwalker and Lionhead. Are we so soon to forget that M$ screwed us with lies, hardware failures and hype. Bioshock exclusive, Ninja Gaiden exclusive, Elder Scrolls 4 Exclusive...hogwash! Their shinanigans are now being turned on them as they tried to get overzealous. I think that a game like Mass Effect may do well on the PS3 thought it is another third person shooter/RPG. I cannot wait to play it but I may get it on PC to be honest. I could care less where any game goes this gen as long as I get to play it and it serves M$ right cause when I plunked down my cash for a 360 it was in the expectance that Bioware would remain a First second party dev for the company.

[MWong]

While this would be good news for the PS3 users, if it's actually true. I mean EA.USA hasn't listed Mass Effect 2 for the PS3, so whose to say it's true. I love playing ME2 on my PS3, just like I love playing ME1 on my XBox360. Only reason is the hardware issues I had with the original game when playing ME1.

[batosaims]

Its obviously an error, anyone who actually thinks ME would come to a Sony console is an idiot

[Persistantthug]

Just curious

[Digital Commando]

Everyone wins this one, besides fanboys that is

[Another One]

That's exactly what I was going to say. Bubbles for you.

[Morituri]

Just like Oblivion is never coming to the PS3.

Oh wait...

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Or Biosho--
Or Ninja Gaide--
Tales of Vespe--
Star Ocea--
Dead Risi--

DAMMIT. *cries in corner* ;_;

[devilhunterx]

And the plot thickens!

[Solid_Snake666]

omg the mods have been busy..lol...yea it was just of matter of how long it was till it came out

[devilhunterx]

Why do people harp that Mass Effect 2 will never come to PS3 just cause Mass Effect 1 didnt.

Saint's Row 2, Condemned 2, Dead Rising 2 says HELLO!! (all previous xb2 exclusives)

[OmegaSlayer]

Ho much did Mass Effect sold on 360 worldwide? 2 millions and a half?
Another million and a half on PC maybe?
A total of 4 millions max.

So Mass Effect 2 could probably sell 5 millions max, just as an estimate.
Why should EA and Bioware want to avoid to sell at least 1 millions of copy on PS3?
And some hundred thousands of copies of Mass Effect 1.

A game that, remember, is developed on a multiplat engine like the Unreal Engine.

[dragonelite]

Dont think that EA has the power to control bioware.
If its next week on amazon and EA america thats the mothercompany i believe then we can say its true if not then yeah no mass effect 2 for ps3 doesnt matters for i got both system.

[militant07]

EA own BIOWARE...

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Welcome to the Dark Side. Drinks and cookies to your left. ;o

[divideby0]

bring it ONLY if its running good on the PS3 or I will just get the 360 version

[robser73]

In the official EA Russian page related to Mass Effect 2 for PS3 ( http://www.electronicarts.r... it's present at the bottom of the description that the game will be next in 2010 for PC e Xbox 360.

bye

[Snake Pliskin]

Now everyone wants a PS3, even you old azz momma!

[Shane Kim]

Shane Kim obviously forgot to pay EA for the "exclusivity" (it's on PC too), but that doesn't matter since Shane Kim can't wait to lick the salt off of the bots tears.

[BlackToothGrin]

can some 360 fans elaborate on how much of the story will be lost for those of us PS players that didnt' get to the first? Assuming of course this is true.

[Morituri]

I'm sure all sequels inherently can be played without having any knowledge of the previous game, but you would be missing out on a great game and alot of the back story.

They will probably re-cap with flashbacks and references to the past, but it will not be the complete Mass Effect experience.

Two consoles FTW.

Mass Effect is one of Xbox's greatest games. Halo, Gears, Fable, and Mass Effect. I bought my friends 360 off him just to play Fable 2. I'll be pumped of Mass Effect comes to PS3.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Never buy multiplat games.

[Monk3y]

Yeah but EA Russia is part of EA which basically "owns" Bioware. :]

[phantomexe]

what's the big deal with Demon's Souls anyway it looks like just another hack and slash but with a few rpg elments?I may have to rent it and check it out.I keep hearing people say it's damn good.I watched the video of it and just blow it aside maybe there alot more to it.I'll check it out.

...that Bioware has said a lot of good things about the PS3 lately. So it wouldn't be like they wouldn't want to bring ME to the PS3 in some way. I like how people are saying it as if EA would force Bioware into something they really wouldn't want to do, since I have a suspicion that Bioware wants to do this.

I think these rumors are telling for the reason that Bioware may be trying to find a loophole in whatever deal MS has on the game. I would suspect they would try to do what they can, and I think these valid rumors from things that would actually make people think there were something TO the rumors keep surfacing for a reason.

[FACTUAL evidence]

Yea you're right about that, but bioware is making dragon age for both ps3 and 360. So maybe they were referring to that?

[CryWolf]

I new Mass Effect was coming to the PS3 this is really the end of 360 finally at the end of the day PS3 is a superior console and even Bioware knows this too.

[Bigpappy]

If the moon turns blue, you will see ME3 on PS3. If not it stays on 360 as an exclusive console release. 360 and PS3 get Dragon Age. That is a hot game too.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

that people get excited when the sequal(s) converts over, Im all for it if PS3 fans can get the whole story from the 1st out of 2 if this does indeed happen, but if not whats the point?

This goes both ways between consoles and their fans... if you don't get the whole story whats the point of getting excited? maybe Im just pickier about it than most!

I got my 360 and PS3 so either way Im going to play this amazing game!

PS = Thank God I got rid of my Wii on friday... got a lot of money for the whole package I had for it!

[xyxzor]

I have felt that Mass Effect 2 may be coming to the PS3 since E3 2009. When MS was talking about games that would only be appearing on the xbox, mass effect 2 was missing. People could argue that's it's not technically exclusive because it will be on PC most likely. However it seems strange that they would completely blow over Mass Effect during they're entire conference especially when the first one was such an important franchise for them.

[Silentmerc3nary]

Hey guys, EA Russia also says L4D2 is coming to PS3 aswell, and that's what, a little more than a month from release?
http://www.electronicarts.r...

[Ninjamonkey]

I have a 360 and ps3 but since this EA it would make good sense.

Though Im sure MS would pay for the game not to go multiplat.

Still though this reminds me I need to find time to try out ME on the 360... I never bothered with it before.

[LeonhartX]

ps3 brings EA more money and that's a fact

[FACTUAL evidence]

It's a mistake, as much as i would like this game to cross to the ps3(my console of choice) i would be glad. But this is getting silly, and old very fast.

We won't get ME1 or 2. We would have been gotten ME1 if that were true, and ME2 is going to be the same results...disagree if you'd like but just get a 360 or get it on pc....this is just getting annoying.

[Pirateogta]

EA Russia also lists Left 4 Dead 2 for the PS3 and not even for the PC.

[xxBATTLECATxx]

oh, just announce it already

[illjaden]

Mass Effect 2 was like the only reason for me to buy a 360 again, since i sold my last one after playing Fable 2 and Gears 2 which both wasn't as good as i had my hopes on. Mass Effect 1 is the number one western RPG ever made. The story, the fantastic music, the choises (finally a game that isn't black or white in the meaning of good and evil, but instead different grey scales), the story and the overall design. I just loved it. Played it when it came more then 4 times. This is the absolute best 360 exclusive there is. Man I want the second one for my ps3!

<3<3<3!!!

*HOPING*

[Relientk77]

Thats ridiclous I wonder if its actually true, or just a misprint

[devilmaycry2020]

they should be able to squeeze the first and second game on one BD.

[FreedomPhantom]

They just don't say its going multiplatform really we all know it

anyways i hope they add the first game to the second kinda like what they did with chronicles of riddick and added both games because if it comes to PS3 i want to play the first one i heard the story is amazing
