Welcome to EA's Bioware folks. We should have seen this coming with the way ME2 was dumbed down into a "RBG Shooter". Get ready for ME3 multi-player maps.


We already know that's coming. Bioware/EA was hiring people to work on MP stuff for some ME.

Holy ****! I posted about an hour ago and I found out there are a lot of whining ****es here. Saying **** like "Chris doesn't care about us anymore" and other stupid ****. It's not that Chris or anyone at Bioware doesn't careits just that this game is so epic its more of a *eff* you to not put it on every consoles that can handle it, like the PS3. And form what I've heard the DLC may cost even the free stuff the PC and 360 users got for free.


No, it's the principle of the situation that upsets people. I respect quality when it comes to a console. For me the quality of fun that the 360 provides for surpasses the PS3's. You shouldn't be surprised that so many people are upset about Mass Effect 2 bypassing to the PS3. The amount of excellent titles that the 360 has is part of it's appeal. Like someone had previously stated, it takes away from console sales and tends to make people who decide between 360 or PS3 feel betrayed. I for one feel extremely betrayed because we've already lost one of our greatest RPGs for the 360 "Elder Scrolls: Oblivion" as an exclusive and now Mass Effect 2? We're always giving PS3 one of our greatest titles for profit. It'd be like saling the rights to the American Eagle to Pakistan. It'd just a betrayal to every single 360 fan and a major slap in the face. Trust me, you're going to see many more negative responses in the coming months to the release of PS3's Mass Effect 2.

As far as the DLC goes. If it's exclusive for the PS3 that's something we'll have to deal with but I do not exactly see that happening. I believe they may either get the Cerberus Network completely free or various DLC that we had to pay for. I doubt it'd be anything exclusive. I'm a follower of the 360 only because I prefer it's benefits over the PS3's. I don't discriminate against consoles. I just believe in representing the best one of the generation. Truth be told, in my opinion that's the 360. We shouldn't be giving away major titles just because they're highly successful.

It's an opportunity for Bioware but at what cost? Slapping all of the loyal Mass Effect fans in the face whom are counting on it being one of the only guaranteed Xbox 360 exclusives? It just isn't worth it and I for one have lost respect for them.


From this it sounds like you're a "loyal Mass Effect fan" not because they're awesome games but because they're exclusive to the 360.

Ridiculous.

Thank you I was about to say the same thing. Freaking Fan-Boys.

Shut up, you damn Sony pawns.

I'm not a pawn I just hate Fan-Boys. And I love games in all there forms, be they on a 360 or PC or PS3 even the Wii. This annosment is a good thing for those who bought a PS3 to play a truly EPIC game even if they can't upgrade they PC or they dont have the money to buy a 360. So peope please stop seeing this as a negetive and start seeing it as a positve. Long Live Good Games!

PLEASE tell me this is not the "huge announcement" they said they were planning for the beginning of next year for mass fans. News flash. 99% of mass effect fans already own the game.

if this is that same announcement, im gunna be pissed...



And if 99% of fans already have the game, that means they must have either an Xbox360 or a PC.  And if someone doesn't have one of those systems, how do you expect them to have become fans?  The point of releasing it on the PS3 is so that more people can become fans, so that more people can play the game.

Do you think they're releasing it on the PS3 just so that that 99% of fans can replay it on the PS3?  That's probably the dumbest news flash ever.

Well given what MS just said about ME1 being exclusive. Chris was creatively twisting the truth.

Anyway, Christina Norman has been busy tweeting, as usual:

To anyone who says that me2 ps3 is bad for the 360/PC version, it isn't! We are all gamers here.

it is more like we get to hire extra people because of the ps3 port, it is a win win situation.

My personal goal
is to make the 360, PS3 and PC experiences for ME2 as equal at possible,
and to bring ME2 to as many gamers as possible.


:)


Oh, that's all fine and dandy...this just doesn't allay the concern that ME1 decisions will mean squat in ME3, or that ME1 squad mates will get another crap cameo in ME3, because ME3 now has to be PS3 user friendly.

Wait no ME1? So half the plot impact and character development is essentially dead for PS3 players? That's totally crazy Bioware, what are you doing? I was hoping a port would spread the love for the series, but this realy looks like someone is going for a quick buck without any real fore-thought.

Sure, it's a cash-grab. But it also gives the dev team a built-in excuse when they decide to minimize the characters and decisions in ME1 even further than they already have. They can simply say "We can't bring ______ back because that would be unfair to all of our fans on PS3."

Nevermind what is fair to those of us who have been with the franchise since the beginning.


Unless some one from bioware speaks out on this, I am going to have to agree with you.

Not one of those tweets alleviates my fear that ME2 on the PS3 without the release of ME1 is going to take away from the "dynamic" nature we are supposed to see from ME3 due to the lack of contuinity issues they will have to deal with. I have no problem with gamers being able to experience a game, I do have a problem when another gamer's experience has the potential of taking away from my own experience.

There is no doubt in my mind that ME3 will suffer due to this announcement, to say otherwise is retarded.
EA are the cancer of the gaming industry.

Signup Date:2010-08-17.....And I'm sure Bioware beleive you ....

Did you check his user name?
Its not unusual for many new members to sign up after large announcements. There were ton of new users from Poland once the no DLC in central Europe was announced.

Is that why some of the ME2 content referencing to ME1 events did not make it to the final PC/360 versions? :lol:

I really do hope that some key and talented people from Bioware leave "EA's Bioware" and form a new studio. EA destroy everything they touch by watering down past franchises to appeal to the broader market.

This isn't the DA forum. The Mass Effect dev team doesn't mingle with common folk like you and I.

Dont really care that its on PS3 now, it just means more people can play it. As long as there are no exclusives for the PS3. But i still dont see why they would port the second game without the first. I would personally be pissed if i had to accept the default decisions every time.

For me at least ME1 really defined the series, I know ts an older game now but they should work on sending that one to the PS3 before ME2.

Fan boys? Oh please, the fact that Mass Effect is a great title isn't disputed. I didn't believe I needed to tell you that I supported it because of that fact. You have to spell out everything for the simple -minded, Jeez. Dragon Age and Modern Warfare 2 are also another good game that I support despite it not being exclusive to the 360. You're not understanding the dynamic of the decision to sale out a perfect 360 exclusive for profit and a bigger fanbase.

It's ridiculous how you log onto a Bioware forum with primarily Mass Effect fans and become baffled at the fact that they are complaining about ME2 going to PS3. It should have been painfully obvious that this would happen seeing as how ME2 was a 360 exclusive up until the announcement. So what does that tell you? Do the math.

I'm a loyal fan to Mass Effect because it's an awesome game. I'm upset because we are losing it to a rival system. If you don't have anything unique for your console, then truly, what's the point of having the console?

You're missing the point of my comment. Don't take my words out of context. I'm an Atari, NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, Playstation, Playstation 2, and 360 fan. I have a diverse list of favorite consoles. Proud fan of excellent systems. The PS3 does not fall into that cataglory. We'll see what they come with next generation.  Until then don't be so quick so biasly label me as a "fanboy". :whistle:

I'll only agree with this if Mass 3 suffers as a result of this port. Since the PS3 players wont get Mas 1 choices, Bioware might just water it down even more so than the second game. That'd be the end of Bioware for me. Obviously this is EA's influence over Bioware because if you can't port the whole trilogy, then don't do it at all.However EA doesn't care about continuity, or the quality of games. They only care about money. It won't be long before Mass Effect starts to be like their sports titles. A new game every year with a different number behind it. It's already happening to DA.

Wow Bioware! Where is the loyalty to a system? That's like a kick in the teeth! The one thing we (XB360 & PC) folks could brag about is this game. Now, they will have the same if not better experience.

And it better not include ME1 on the blu-ray!!!

Very upset about this

What's the big deal with having exclusives? Is it to justify someone's purchase of one console over the other?

I see it this way; I got to play the game. That's all the matters.


I don't know about you, but I consider this game to be very story intense. Unless BioWare intends to just release a bunch of mission packs of PS3 owners, it's very likely any exclusive content will be story related. Now imagine that I reached down into the game files of the complete Mass Effect 2 and then tore out a small section of the story (doesn't have to be long at all) and then told you that the only way you are going to be able to buy this section from me is your dependant on your skin color, otherwise you will have to watch someone else play this.

This is why people don't like idea of exclusive DLC for ME2, because most of the DLC has an impact on the overall story and no one wants part of the story being kept from them.


Oh, I understand that. I was talking about games not being exclusive to one console.

But, yeah, it is aggravating to have a game that's out on both systems but both don't share the same content.

Well they already ruined Liara, so I guess her romance wasnt in their canon idea. The return of a certain blue armour wearing crew member will have zero impact as well. The logs on the crash site wont make sense either. You wanted to meet Wrex, he was cool right? No sorry PS3 owners dont know who he is. Though ME2 ends exactly where ME1 did - the Reapers still floating there in space waiting to attack... so maybe a lack of story continuation was the idea all along. I have nothing against ports, I just hate this idea the final chapter will suffer and this reeks of it.

You have to spell out everything for the simple -minded, Jeez. Dragon Age and Modern Warfare 2 are also another good game that I support despite it not being exclusive to the 360. You're not understanding the dynamic of the decision to sale out a perfect 360 exclusive for profit and a bigger fanbase.

It's ridiculous how you log onto a Bioware forum with primarily Mass Effect fans and become baffled at the fact that they are complaining about ME2 going to PS3. It should have been painfully obvious that this would happen seeing as how ME2 was a 360 exclusive up until the announcement. So what does that tell you? Do the math.

I'm a loyal fan to Mass Effect because it's an awesome game. I'm upset because we are losing it to a rival system. If you don't have anything unique for your console, then truly, what's the point of having the console?

You're missing the point of my comment. Don't take my words out of context. I'm an Atari, NES, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast, Playstation, Playstation 2, and 360 fan. I have a diverse list of favorite consoles. Proud fan of excellent systems. The PS3 does not fall into that cataglory. We'll see what they come with next generation.  Until then don't be so quick so biasly label me as a "fanboy". :whistle:


And that's the part that makes you a fanboy. -_-


True, and we are all fanboys and fangirls of one thing or another or we'd not be here, correct? I for one am proud of my fanboy status. I favor the best over just one company.

Wow Bioware! Where is the loyalty to a system? That's like a kick in the teeth! The one thing we (XB360 & PC) folks could brag about is this game. Now, they will have the same if not better experience.
And it better not include ME1 on the blu-ray!!!
Very upset about this

Wow...Image IPB

What's the big deal with having exclusives? Is it to justify someone's purchase of one console over the other?

I see it this way; I got to play the game. That's all the matters.


I don't know about you, but I consider this game to be very story intense. Unless BioWare intends to just release a bunch of mission packs of PS3 owners, it's very likely any exclusive content will be story related. Now imagine that I reached down into the game files of the complete Mass Effect 2 and then tore out a small section of the story (doesn't have to be long at all) and then told you that the only way you are going to be able to buy this section from me is your dependant on your skin color, otherwise you will have to watch someone else play this.

This is why people don't like idea of exclusive DLC for ME2, because most of the DLC has an impact on the overall story and no one wants part of the story being kept from them.


Oh, I understand that. I was talking about games not being exclusive to one console.

But, yeah, it is aggravating to have a game that's out on both systems but both don't share the same content.


The reason that people should be complaining about ME2 coming to the PS3 is the possibility that this cross-platforming may have implications upon ME3 for everyone else. Mass Effect is a Microsoft exclusive and it's highly unlikely that the PS3 is going to get it as a result unless BioWare does something creative. If BioWare alleviates this fact by allowing them to pick what decisions they would have mad in the first game, more power to them. However, as is, it seems like the logical solution may be to pretend that content from Mass Effect never happened and it really irritates me when one gamer's experience is going to take away from the experiences of several others.

I have no problem with PS3 owners getting to try this awesome game, just like I didn't mind when they had Oblivion ported over a few years ago. Awesome games deserve to be played by as many people as possible and I think that the whole era of exclusives needs to come to an end soon.

Still, what I felt stung about regarding the Oblivion port is that they got a few of the game's DLC for free, built into a brand new copy of the game. I had to pay for Knights of the Nine, they got it free of charge. If PS3 owners get DLC such as Kasumi and Overlord for free like this, I will be slightly annoyed for sure.

That said, Mass Effect 2 is awesome, BioWare is awesome, and anything that can help them spread the love and improve their studio with increased sales is usually good with me. Just please don't make Mass Effect 3 suffer because of the EA Effect that seems to be going on.

ME1 will not be coming to PS3 according to Microsoft.
"With both Mass Effect titles launching first on Xbox 360 combined with the wealth of available paid downloadable content on Xbox Live today, Xbox 360 remains the best place to experience the Mass Effect franchise," a representative. Mass Effect 1, first published by Microsoft in 2007, will remain exclusive to Xbox 360. And the original Mass Effect is absolutely an Xbox 360 exclusive, making Xbox 360 the only place to get the full Mass Effect experience," the company added.

That is a statement they released. That however does not mean that a shortened version or a lot of questions at the beginning of ME2 will not occur.
