Microsoft need to stop being jerks, ME2 is coming to Sony, ME1 sold LESS, and wasn't nearly as epic as ME2, and they are still gonna hold onto it, the fact Sony owners basically get what is the"The Empire Strikes Back" of Mass Effect and not "A New Hope" is dumb, please Bioware, wrangle in ME1 for the Sony crowd as well.
People keep saying this, but why should Microsoft "stop being jerks"? I didn't see Sony in a hurry to give up Final Fantasy, or Grand Theft Auto, and I haven't seen an announcement for Uncharted coming to 360. Microsoft had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to secure those names (FF and GTA) and Sony will have to do the same. Not to mention, the Empire Strikes Back-A New Hope isn't really a good analogy. Empire Strikes Back is widely considered the best Star Wars movie, whereas it seems people enjoyed Mass Effect 1 way more than 2.
It all makes sense why BioWare from the get-go was saying ME2 is a stand alone game. When they were saying "new" gamers, they have always meant PS3 owners. It just makes more sense now.

PS3 owners will get the OPTION of choosing what outcome they had wanted from ME1. They'll be able to choose if either Kaiden/Ashley lives or dies, who they had a romance with, and whether Wrex and the Council lived or died.... GUARANTEED this will happen.

@TheReelBigFish I usually make fun of people who play console games like COD. I don't play on ps3/xbox. Just ol' PC gaming. I am not getting angry, just dissapointed when they touch money matters since it doesn't grow on trees and I have to earn it.
Okay, well I was just using the CoD reference cause I know that they release game of the year editions constantly.
And you make fun of people playing a game that you don't play?
Man, your awesome.
Well it's fair enough that you feel you are getting ripped off.
But, at the time, you enjoyed your DLC purchase.
EA want to make money with this.. and I can see ME2 being released at close to full price on PS3.

You fail to give me a reason why Mass Effect's success on the Xbox 360 should mean that a PS3 version should not be made. Then you say Bioware has forgotten the Xbox 360 made Mass Effect big. Of course they haven't forgotten. That's exactly the reason why they're releasing it on the PS3, to expand on that success. It makes perfect sense and it's beneficial for both the company and the fans. Those who don't have a PS3 and prefer an Xbox 360 or a PC lose nothing. It seems like you are upset because others can enjoy a game on their console of choice and that's extremely irrational and selfish.WilliamShatner wrote...

Simply because it was succesful on the 360 means it's a logical decision to release the franchise (minus 1) on the PS3. EA is a company, they're doing to most logical thing. Just consider the 360 version as a first step to making a big franchise and the PS3 release a next big step in expanding it. What's this nonsense about loyalty? We're talking about something as trivial as a video game console. You're way too irrational about this.WilliamShatner wrote...

Wow, the Fanboyism & Entitlement in this topic is disgusting...
Relax, you big babies... This bonus content will probably just be all the DLC Armor, Making of video, and DLC Side Missions.
Are you one of those "PS3 for teh rulz!!11!" people? Honestly.
We on the 360 and PC had to pay for the DLC armor and side missions. So excuse us for feeling annoyed when the PS3 owners get it for free.
No, but you're all over-reacting... PS3 isn't even getting the first game, yet all everyone here is doing is ****ing about how Bioware betrayed you. Get over it, it's a business, and Bioware is trying to get as many sales out of the game as possible. The 360/PC got to have ME2 as an exclusive for almost a whole year, so the PS3 crowd is entitled to some freebies.
I already own the game for both Xbox 360 & PC, and I've purchased all the DLC, yet I couldn't be more pleased with this announcement. Now when I buy the PS3 Version, I don't have to pay for everything a 2nd time, and PS3 Exclusive Owners get to experience an excellent game.
Seriously, Console Fanboyism is so 90's... Hasn't anyone aged beyond 8 here?
"Genesis >>> SNES!11"
Seriously, you're all acting like a bunch of spoiled children and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
PS3 crowd aren't entitled to jack. It's the 360 that made ME2 possible. Had Mass Effect flopped on 360 do you think there would even be a ME2? Hell no, it would have gone the way of Too Human.
Loyalty ain't what it was anymore.
It like getting one group of builders to build your house than slapping them in the face and giving the plans to another group with free materials.
Or something.
Microsoft and 360 owners made the ME franchise successful. Never forget. BioWare seems to have.
I have an Xbox 360 and a gaming PC but I'm not gonna be a dick about it. I can still play the game, I will get the next sequel on launch and I will discuss the game's features and story with Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers and I won't even care what platform they played it on. Am I weird because I'm not as intolerant as the fanboys?

this is what I hear.....a bunch of xbox fanatics hating on the fact that mass effect 2 is going to a system is should have been on to begin with. quite frankly, I don't blame bioware for making this decision, it'll make them more money and so what about additional dlc, ps3 discs hold up to 500gb worth of space, do you know how much 360 discs hold? quite frankly if you think about it, they can do 50x more on the ps3 with just 1 disc than they can on the 360 is 3 or more discs. I'm just happy cause now I no longer have a reason to buy a 360 outside of halo which is now all they have and lets be real../.....NOBODY PLAYS GEARS OF WAR ANYMORE, I KNOW CAUSE I WORK FOR GAMESTOP!!!!!!!!
Go get some info before spouting random babble.

I hope not either... but it makes sense. When they show us the "review" of our decisions at the beginning of ME2, didn't it look like an interface where you can select and change it? Well, it will be for PS3 owners, I'm sure of it.

We are very proud to announce today that Mass Effect 2 will be coming to the Playstation 3 in January 2011. The PS3 edition will include the full Mass Effect 2 game and hours of bonus content.
You can see the new Mass Effect 2 PS3 announcement trailer here: http://masseffect.bioware.com/
Stay tuned for more upcoming details on teh PS3 edition of Mass Effect 2.
HOURS of bonus content, for the PS3?! Who the hell think put you where you are, because it sure as s**t wasn't the PS3 crowd.

GO F**K YOURSELVES, BIOWARE.
I'm done with this community.
dude i think what you speak is true they tottaly just told old fans were not good enough any more, we got new friends....
Again, wondering what the devs think when they see reactions like these, I'd hate to be a developer if the fanbase is this fickle, I have total faith in Bioware to create a great ps3 port without compromising the story for 360 players in ME3. I had doubts but this is Bioware, and I'm not going to throw a tantrum over this. Thank you for you're well thought out opinions.

This is really bad, because appearantly ME1 will not be released on PS3. I wonder what will happen to the ME1 characters now. I can only imagine that they won't play a very big role now, because the experience has to be the same for everyone, every platform. PS3 users will never even meet Wrex for example because the "canon" has him dead. hmpf. Of course the ME1 LIs won't be availlable for PS3 users aswell.
:-/
Seems like Wrex won't play a major role in ME3.....

I think you're a bit off on your numbers, Blu-Ray capacity is not 500GB, a BD with multiple layers may cap at like 100+ but not 500GB dude. But what would I know I dont work for Gamestop lol

Gamers who already played ME1 on the pc or xbox AND own a PS3 will buy this. But seriously, i don't know anyone who owns a ps3, an xbox and pc all together. Not to mention that PS3 games are so expensive.
wait...wait...wait....PS3 & 360 games cost the same amount and pc is $10 less (less you're just purate'n them) so point was what again?
Point is that people who are totally new to mass effect and own a ps3 won't buy the game because it's missing the first part.
People who played mass effect 1 on xbox or pc and own mass effect 2 for pc or xbox won't buy the game because finding someone who OWNS all 2 consoles and a PC is hard to find and because they already have the xbox version and the pc version of mass effect so unless they are super rich or very bored i doubt they will buy it.
reasoning behind one of these persons: "oh yes, mass effect 2 for the ps3. I'm going to buy it just so I can experience the touch of the ps3 controlers while i play mass effect despite the fact that i already own both games for xbox and pc."
Perhaps I'm just crazy and what i see as totally normal/common sense is just a delusion.

I'm a PC gamer so I don't really care/follow any of the console battling out there. But i'd get angry if someone got for free the same stuff I had to pay with my money.
I'm not sure if this is the case wit PS3 bonus conent. But if that was it, i'd be angry at Sony/Bioware/EA/whoever made the decission because it feels like they are robbing you. Obviously.
It's just a money thing. Nobody likes when they toy with their money... game or not. If you are in a restaurant, eating your menu and you see that the waitress is giving food for free that you previously paid the least you can do is ask her why.
I chose to buy the DLC because i like their game and i like to support them so they keep on making cool games. But if I knew that other people would be getting this same stuff for free, well what can i say... the internet is full of sites to download this content ilegally.
Good luck fighting piracy with this corporate mentality.
Anyways, If i am mistaken and this is just my wild imagination then I apologize.![]()
Pd. Another thing that seems a bit funny is the fact that you release only 1 of 2 games for the PS3. I mean, makes no sense. You know you'll have these problems at some point because the PS3 fan base is missing out a whole game. Sooo if i was Bioware/EA... i'd wait until I could launch both games for the ps3 then none of this nerdrage would happen.
Did you get angry when Oblivion or Morrowind or Call Of Duty all released their game of the year versions aswell?
Face it, PS3 owners need incentive to buy this after waiting so long.
If this is the best they can do, so be it.
Just be happy that you spent your money on a product you enjoyed.
What the hell? Did all logic just fly out the window? Since when did the PS3 users need extra incentives to buy the game? They've been whining for it for years. There is no way a person is going to say, "Well, because it has all the DLC, I'm going to buy it. I would never have bought it without the DLC but this free content seals the deal."
No, that makes no sense.
How is there no logic there?
YOUR thoughts do not speak for all gamers, do not speak for the market.
Just because you think that, does not mean everyone else will. You can't just pull a statement like that and say "THIS IS TRUE, THIS WILL HAPPEN".
There is a reason that companies release game of the year editions, because not everyone is going to buy a game on day 1.
I can use your logic, but reverse it
"Why should I pay full price for this PS3 game when the same game is on Xbox for only $25"
"What is this?.. it includes hours of bonus content?.. I guess that's why I shall make the purchase on PS3"
No, they will still buy it without the additional content. If they had the means to buy it on the 360 or PC, they would already have done so, not wait until the PS3 version is announced to take an interest in purchasing it.
Let's look at these:
"Why should I pay full price for this PS3 game when the same game is on Xbox for only $25"
Well, because, A: it is technically a new release. B: (See above.)
"What is this?.. it includes hours of bonus content?.. I guess that's why I shall make the purchase on PS3"
Oh yes, the hours of bonus content that will inevitably only recieve 2 lines of text on the back of the box. That's a real game changer.

Arkham Asylum was a one off. Microsoft seem to put up the money for (limited time) exclusivity rights when it comes to top titles, like Call of Duty.
My only concern is that the "hours of bonus content" will include something not available on the 360. Depending on how substantial that is, i will be annoyed. Though they can have all the DLC for free as far as i'm concerned.

Whoa whoa whoa...I can tell you're excited but spreading lies is not cool. 50GB is the max a BR disc can accommodate currently.
And...I couldn't care less if it is added to another platform. That's pretty nice to be spread to a larger audience when you get right down to it. However, I do wonder if some choices we had in one will be absent? Like the most important one yet: does Conrad make a cameo? Also missing out on punching an annoying reporter just one more time is a heinous insult.

No, PS3 owners will still buy the game without the first part. Almost anyone interested in this game as an arching storyline would have purchased it for the PC or 360. The whole "Import your character" feature is not one PS3-exclusive users are used to. They will buy the game thinking it's stand alone, no matter what.

And the post you quoted just shows what happens when people have no Idea about the technology a certain system employs... It would be like calling the PS3 a Mac-Clone, just because it is using a modified IBM PowerPC G5 Processor (yes, the Cell is a derivative of that one).Operative84 wrote...

Remember Tales of Vesperia or the Ninja Gaiden games? They were released first on 360 and later on PS3 with exclusive content. Isn't that some requirement Sony forces on thirdparty games? To have exclusive content when the game is released on PS3 later?
BioWare would seriously screw over their 360/PC fans if they did something like this.
