Riccitiello: Mass Effect 2 to be released on multiple platforms |
Ó
Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello dropped even more hints at Mass Effect 2's multiplatform future during recent EA's earnings call.
According to Riccitiello, BioWare will be releasing the sequel to the popular sci-fi RPG "on multiple platforms" in Q4. I'm inclined to think that the "Q4" here pertains to EA's fiscal year instead of the actual calendar year.
The PS3 wasn't specifically mentioned as a target platform, but it sounds likely that a PS3 version is in order. Heck, with EA's new-found focus on the Wii, a Mass Effect title for that platform isn't even that far-fetched anymore.

a wii version of mass effect? god i'd hate to play that...
i'll believe it when i hold it (mass effect 2 on ps3) in my hands. CEOs have a habit of talking about things they don't really have a clue about...
add to that all the game cancellations and studio closures, and nothing is set in stone.
Multiplatform can mean X360, PC.
but those are expected seeing as how the first one is on both already...
having it only on the pc and 360 would still make the multiplatform statement true
@rollypoly: Gears of War 1 and Fable 1 were also released on the PC, yet the sequels were not released on the PC (yet). So I'm sure about that.
it should be:"So I'm NOT sure about that."
why sell to less than half of your potential market when you can sell to all? I think everything except 1st party franchises or heavily associated ones will eventually go multi.
Unless one of the companies (MS or Sony, I'm not aware of Nintendo buying exclusives) offered a huuuuge sum of money for exclusivity, you'd make more by going multiplat. So eventually all 3rd party titles will
microsoft pays people sony doesn't do anything
why would there be a mass effect 2 if there wasnt a mass effect 1 on ps3 wtf!
Just like there's a saint's row 1 on ps3?
Assuming ME2 will still carry over your save files from ME1 it would be kinda lame to not have ME1 on PS3 first
Maybe they will make a double pack.
You really think so huh?
Now that I think about it, "sony doesn't do anything" is actually a pretty truthful statement. They don't market their games, they don't market the system, they don't buy exclusivity that they SHOULD buy, they screwed up and continue to screw up the price of the system, they pretty much just sit there and assume people will buy anything Sony. They... don't do anything.
I can't remember the last time I saw a PS3 related commercial, for a game or the system. Not many ads in mags either. What's Sony doing? Only one logical answer: nothing. And if they continue to do nothing they'll continue to fail
Take that Sony fanboy
Maybe you should stop playing video game and watch some TV and you'll see them Playstation commercial and how did they screwed up the price of the system? 400 for it is actually cheap, I paid 600 dollar for it. And don't use the xbox to compare the price, It use to be the same price before too.
