maybe we'll be listening to miranda and jacob talking about the ME1 exploits (choosing what happened through their dialogue) while sheppard is barely conscious

Nope!  They are going to cancel Mass Effect 3 all together and produce and new MMO set in the ME universe.  Also, Mel Gibson will play Shepard in the Micheal Bay Directed Mass Effect movie from Sony Pictures.

Next thing you know they'll release ME3 on the ipad :S

exactly what ive been saying
if all these xbox games go multiplatform i see no reason in owning one.... and i love playing on different consoles

I'm sorry ,but mass effect was never a true xbox game.. not ever since the relese on pc. And mass effect 2 was better on the pc just becaues of the free DLCs you could get and the modding things you could do ha

stupid microsoft... forgeting about windows and all the computer dudes..

To XBOX owners - Place the blame with E.A and Microsoft not Bioware they just puppets now...
To E.A. - You guys are pure liquid ****. You corrupt everything you land on. You're Evil bastards.
To Microsoft - Your failure is so massive in not securing the entire trilogy that I have no sympathy for you. You deserve what you get.
To Bioware - You are truly E.A's ****. What's next guys? Mass Effect Cart? Mass Effect Online?
To PS3 users - You don't deserve Mass Effect. Your community has ridiculed it, belittled it and flat out refused to play it. You don't deserve it. You know you don't.

MS seemed to move away from heavily pursuing the publishing/studio owning model a couple years ago. So it's not like this is surprising. For gamers, this is great, as multiplatform games are far preferable.  To me, it's Sony sticking to the Japanese model of pouring money into companies for exclusivity that's annoying.  But it's Sony-- that's what they try to do with all their products.

Now everything seems quite clear to me...  The development of the PS3 version was decided
long ago (you may remember the news about the hidden PS3 code in the 360 version), but EA was bond to an exclusive agreement with Microsoft for the year 2010. That's the reason of the "ME2 never on PS3" declarations, and I don't blame Bioware for that. I don't believe this porting will delay much ME3...more likely the X360 and PS3 versions of ME2 have been developed together.... 
Bioware is now finalizing the very ambitious "Star Wars: the old republic", project and there are no doubts the best talents of the software house are on it.. I hope they will be able to handle the effort a bit better than Blizzard, whose World of Warcraft MMOG has strongly penalized the Diablo 3 release..

The easiest thing to do for PlayStation 3 owners would be to extend the questions in the shuttle to just ask about Rex and the Council etc.. Although I am sure they have come up with a cool way of doing this to allow PS3 owners to experience the full range of outcomes. I also think they have spent to much time and money getting this branching storyline working that this depth will not be compromised for the third game. Just my quick thoughts.

Oh well, gaming for me has run it's course. I've slept on it and realized the gaming industry is not something I'm willing to support any more. It's seems that money > quality is all that matters to big gaming companies. ME will suffer because of this just as Bioshock suffered.

True dude
but lets hope it doesnt yah

maybe they'll give us the opportunity of making the choices of ME1 on flashbacks from sheppard's memory while he/she's unconscious.

Or maybe they won't let you make choices and will just recap the story.



Yes, plz.

Actually it's Microsoft that pours money into companies for exclusivity.  Sony just buys and owns the company for exclusivity.  That's why the 360 will never see any of these PS3 exclusives - Sony owns all the companies that make them.  Or they own the IP when it's their Second party developers like Sucker Punch with inFamous.

they already said they're adding more to the beginning of the game to ease new players into the mass effect universe, what this means though is unknown until more information is released.

[kennyv217]

I'm sure the PS3 version will play The Story So Far at the beginning

[digoutyoursoul]

i think in some cases here, its not all about fanboy logic. obviously cant speak for everyone but I suspect in certain cases a choice was made out of two consoles and mass effect was the series that sealed the deal, although they probably would of liked to have played god of war and all that stuff but cannot afford two systems so they went with Xbox when they could of went with PS3 all along and mass effect would of appeard there.

microsofts console exclusive line up took a big blow with this news

You do realize that that's what Microsoft always do? People hate them for a reason.

And you do realize that it is very smart on their part? Now for anyone to fully enjoy the entirety of mass effect, they must buy the pc or 360 version. Might be a pain in the ass, but it will definately give them a large profit.

Exactly, it wouldn't be in Microsoft's interest at all to release ME1 to another console platform when they can entice gamers to purchase a game they can't play without their hardware.

The only problem is that PS3 gamers are going to miss out on alot, specifically the moment when you first meet Sovereign/Nazara.  Then there' s the moment you meet Vigil on Ilos.   Those moments are revelations that set the framework and the stage for ME2.

Without ME1's stronger story, ME2 will play very differently.   So it's not just about Bioware creating some flash-foward method  of helping PS3 gamers to slip right into the action of ME2,  it's more about how weak ME2 is without the original story to drive the continuing saga.

I agree.   However, if Bioware were owned by Microsoft they would more than likely break grounds with new releases as opposed to having to worry about wasting time making the game for other systems when they should be focusing on new titles, add-on's, dlc, and more sequels/prequels, etc..

Now, I understand it's not "fair" to people who only own a PS3, etc.. however most platforms get enough exclusives to warrant purchasing them all if you really are a fan of video games in general.   I own all systems as well as more than one gaming computer (including a gaming laptop).  I would rather Bioware get back to their roots of "quality" as opposed to just being about the numbers under EA's rule.    Electronic Arts have done a lot for the gaming industry there is no doubt about that, however I do not believe Bioware is able to work at their full potential under EA rule.

The story of Mass Effect 1 definitely makes Mass Effect 2 so much better.   Yes Mass Effect 2 looks better visually and has some great characters, missions, moments, etc.. however Mass Effect was ground breaking in the RPG world as far as the current generation of RPG games are concerned.   Mass Effect 2 is a worthy sequel however you really need to play Mass Effect 1.   I would not bother buying the PS3 version unless I either a) didn't care about experiencing the whole story or they created a whole new "series" for the PS3 as opposed to a partial port of the series.   I guess playing Mass Effect 2 for ps3 only people is better than not playing it at all, however it will definitely be an incomplete experience so my suggestion to those would be to either buy a 360 or ensure you have a system that can handle Mass Effect and buy it for your computer.   I prefer to play it on one platform all the way through the series, however that will not be an option for those wanting to only play it on the PS3.

I see no reason why PS3 owners shouldn't be able to experience the game however I see no reason why Microsoft should release their rights of Mass Effect 1 when they helped popularize the title and Bioware's name to those who were unfamiliar with them.  Bioware was always regarded pretty highly, but their popularity really went through the roof with Mass Effect and that was in part thanks to Microsoft promoting Mass Effect as well.

[Raycer X]

Hmm, I'm going to go out on an uninformed limb here and assume that minor decisions such as those made during the sidequests in ME1 that were referenced in ME2 won't make the cut. When you think about it, if Bioware made a question-answer format, that would be a whole bunch of questions before playing a game. To some players/reviewers, that may mess up the experience.



Alternatively, if Bioware did something along the lines of a "streamlined" style of ME1 content, then I guess only major plot based decisions would be included, not minor side quest based decisions and outcomes.



Of course, this is a major limb that I'm going out on and this is just an assumption. But with such little information, I can't help but voice concerns over what Bioware is planning or already is doing.

You can always tell when a PC fanboy enters a thread, always butthurt about how small the pc gaming community has gotten in relation to how much larger the console gamer base has grown.    

Don't get me wrong, I play some games on the PC.. but it's not as if there were a tremendous amount of mods to add to the replay value for Mass Effect 1 or 2 on the PC as opposed to the 360..  KOTOR 1 and even more so KOTOR 2 are different stories but that seems to be fading away.  The most popular Mass Effect mods barely change gameplay other than the ashley-fem shepard romance mod which is still minimal in my opinion.   KOTOR 2 actually had a lot added to the game and story so it warranted a pc purchase even though I owned it for XBox.    Yet, I still would rather use a 360 controller over anything on the market (keyboard/mouse is just not comfortable after a while and definitely not in front of a large screen hdtv on a nice comfortable couch.   the ps3 controller is so small that if you have hands bigger than the average girls, you will more than likely be hitting R1/R2 L1/L2 by accident like when playing Uncharted 1 & 2 and reloading by accident in the middle of a firefight).

Why get insulted that it comes for the PS3, it shows BioWare has staff enough and is doing well enough to support all platforms. Congrats! Though I do wonder how they're gonna tackle the ME1 missing data...

Sony does the same, they buy 3rd party exclusives like Heavy Rain or MGS4 and exclusive content like Batman,  Mafia II or Mirrors Edge.
Unless Sony owns EA, Konami, Take Two, Square Enix or Quantic Dream...

I think I would do something like that too, at the start you get a series of descriptive questions and pick your answers from those. Like:

Conrad Verner has been bugging you forever and ever and he's real lame and quite possibly slightly retarded. (Except a longer more descriptive text)

A. Shove a gun in his face.
B Talk some sense into him.
C etc etc

[AventuroLegendary]

PS3, Xbox, PC whatever. It's a great game overall.

[xIxDarkWolfxIx]

What I hope if they do add a Choice selection process in the PS3 version, that they add this as DLC or an update for free in the Xbox and PC version.

Of course they do, but not even close to the extent that Microsoft takes it..  Look at the stable of first party studios for Sony compared to Microsoft and look at where the majority of exclusives games have come from in the past two years.

I find this to be great news towards the mass effect franchise because more people get to enjoy an amazing game. If they end up getting free dlc, then that's fine in my opinion because they have to wait till 2011 to play the game anyway. I just hope they don't get any "exclusive" dlc, which would be stupid on companies part.
