Mass Effect 2: possible timed exclusive, PC version confirmed |
Ó
Tensions are running high between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, after the news that the Sony console outsold Microsoft's last month. This latest news could only add to the fire: BioWare has revealed that the sequel to Mass Effect, is likely to be a timed exclusive.
The news comes from BioWare's senior manager, Matt Atwood. Although he wasn't totally solid on his statement, it's still a pretty clear suggestion that the studio is open to the idea for Mass Effect's sequel to appear on the PlayStation 3:
I believe we'll be Xbox 360 exclusive for at least a short period of time. We're still working out the details on that, but we've had a great relationship with Microsoft and done very well.
On that note, PC gamers would be glad to know that Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PC as well (no ifs or buts there). BioWare is unclear whether it will be released along with the console version, but they did say it will be released "as quickly as possible."
The game's become so popular that even analyst Michael Pachter had a say in the matter. He reasons out that Electronic Arts (which acquired BioWare earlier this year) is fond of multiplatform games, and so he "wouldn't be shocked" if the game came to the PS3.

I have been playing this game recently its not too bad. Maybe a PS3 version will run without so much lag and frame rate drops?
If theres one thing I know, its that PS3 owners as a group dont take well to getting a title after its been on another platform. I think it'd be a waste of their time/money to bother with a PS3 port when anyone without an Xbox probably would play it on PC or doesnt care about it at all. Obviously it would sell some on PS3, but not enough to justify the expense. Multi-platform at launch or dont bother.
I guess your not familar with all the problems third party devs have had using UE3 on the PS3.
It'll be 360 & PC exclusive. Timed exclusive for the 360, with the PC version coming not too long after. Microsoft will again be the publisher, and the third Mass Effect is more likely to be multiplatform.
Mass Effect is garbage.
First we wait to see if EA acquiring Bioware has effected quality on the PC version of mass effect. Then we can talk about me giving a ***** for the 2nd game. Loved the first but I have.. concerns after this merger. Doubt PS3 version will sell very well as others have noted delayed ports to PS3 rarely sell well (QED?). Still, If you don't have a 360 or decent computer you should give it a go.
I guess you're not familar with SHUT THE F|_|CK UP! F|_|CK, LET the guy dream a little you sh|T F|_|CK.
I smell a 360 SH|T TROLL! Every G0DAMN comment you've made on this site has nothing but 360 praising and PS3 bashing in it, so I'll state again: SHUT THE F|_|CK UP!
STOP WITH THE HATE!! *****.... this game was awesome, and yes it did have a lot of lag on the 360, was theo nly dissapointing part of it all really... i hope they get resource/load management down better, and yes u3 engine has also had problems on ps3, but its finally gotten to the point that if a dev wants to make it look good on ps3 AND other systems they can, just have to work at it, stop with the console fighting none of the big 3 get any benefit by your internet squablings...
And you dude, are *****ing aggressive. Chill out, man. Funny thing is, all the PS3 fanboys kept bashing on the game: "Mass Effect is garbage". Now where it could possibly come for PS3, Many PS3 fanboys say:" I have been playing this game recently its not too bad." really curious....
you don't know what your talking about dude. I just bought a 360 recently that is why I am only playing Mass Effect now. Matter of fact I only beat Gears like a week ago. STFU N00B.
