I thought Bioware always went PC and Xbox , KotOR and Mass Effect forexample, always PC and Xbox. Why go to PS3?

Well well, as long as they continue with the PC versions I'm happy. Like they did with Mass Effect 2 and released both the Xbox 360 versions and PC versions at the same time, and how the PC version is technically superior.

I will buy if I can be able to have options picked from ME1 into ME2.



I am not playing if the major and minor choices are picked for me.

Maybe finding a way to port decisions from the PC version into the PS3 version?

my only concern is that ME1 decisions will not mater anymore.

they should make m E 1 for PS3 too.

I'm not sure I see the point in this decision tbh.
If it's potential sales they are after, I think the majority of people who own a ps3 also have a 360/pc so most will most likely already have a copy of the game... of course I could be wrong!
If the idea is for platform specific exclusives etc. to get people who already own the game to get it again on ps3 then that'll be disappointing to say the least.

i agree

well jonny. that idea sounds kind of stupid. 

if i already own a game on one platform (console that is, PC is different.... ), there's no need for me to own it for another console platform... 

and some people may only have a xbox 360 or may only have a ps3 who don't have the game.

Sorry FuturePasTimeCE, I said I'd probably be wrong!
Just going from personal experience from people I know who have ps3 (they already have 360 and if they like this genre of game they already own it) but I see your point!
More sales is an obvious reason but mention of bonus content etc. makes me think the worst. Again I'm probably wrong!
Anyway I think as ps3 is going to get Mass Effect 2 then they should get ME1 as well.

i have a feeling that PS3 sales of Mass Effect will be no where near what EA/Bioware expects. I see it more for ME3 having more appeal.

If Bioware had not signed the original deal with Microsoft then Mass Effect 1 and 2 would have been on the PS3 the same day. but we all know Microsoft made sure that even though EA bought Bioware and the Mass Effect Ip that they would have some way of keeping ME 2 to at least a 1 year exclusive.  but if it does even a million or 2 its still a good deal for EA and Sony

I really can't understand why some people are disappointed with Mass Effect 2 ps3 release? Is it really so bad that more of us will play this epic game? I got ME2 on PC but i gonna play it on my console for sure. Whatsmore it is obvious now that PS3 owners will have a chance to play ME3. For gaming community it's great news and sign that the death of of exclusive titles is close.

Fanboys who can't afford more than one console. I've never understood why people are so protective of the system they have, it's stupid. It's also easy trolling.

Being available on PS3 isn't bad. If they get the same game, hey, why not? Exclusive content is a different story. That would seriously be a kick in the balls.



But it could be even worse! Think about the game not being split up in two sections, so we can finally pick up Tali, Thane or Samara as the first crewmember. Awesome, but only for PS3 owners.



What about no gender restrictions to the romance options? Finally a FemShep Talimance... but only for PS3 owners.



Even something simple like removable helmets..... again, only for PS3 owners.



All the above would improve the existing game, but if that turns out to be exclusive to PS3, I'll never buy a BioWare game anymore. I'll prefer an exclusive gun or something silly.

My guess is that history is going to repeat,MGS2 was multiplatform but MGS1 and MGS3 weren't.

I see that as a most unlikely probability.

Regarding MGS2 appearing on Xbox whereas 3 didn't, the fact was the original Xbox perofrmance was pretty bad especially compared to the PS2. This generation which just so happens to be the generation Mass Effect appears in already has both major core consoles passing the 35 million mark (PS3 38M, X360 41M) the fact is the two consoles have a large enough fanbase that dropping support for another would be counter productive to what they as a business would go for. Especially considering the price of game development nowadays that reaching the widest possible audience is the way to go.

Plus the fact that as said before both consoles are above the 35 million mark you see more people much more vocal about the industry. Back then if all the 24 million Xbox owners complained that they never got MGS3 their voices would be drowned by the 143 million PS2 gamers. Now if Bioware suddenly says we'll give you ME2 but we won't  give you ME3 the public outcry would be much more visible.

It would end up worst in sales (not saying the sales will be bad but for business more is always better), and would damage the reputation of those involved including Bioware.

Regarding your performance statement between the PS2 amnd the original Xbox. If you mean the performance of the MGS game for the two systems, you are correct, if you're talking about the systems themselves and their hardware, the Xbox craps all over the PS2. The Xbox is by far more powerful than the PS2. Caveat, I am not a fanboy, but I do know hardware, and the hardware in the Xbox was much more powerful than the PS2.

Yes I'm talking about the sales difference I also acknowledge that the Xbox was the superior hardware overall hence I pointed out that this gen both major core consoles have surpassed the 35M mark and that the past generation the Xbox didn't even reach half of the PS2 install base.

Hence Konami most likely never even thought of rereleasing another MGS on a system that isn't competing (sales-wise). Whereas the situation now sees both competitors more or less on even grounds hence mrc390's thought that history will repeat itself with Mass Effect is from what I was saying an unlikely probability.

PC Modders already do all of that. If the PS3 had that it doesn't mean that it is the superior version, it just means that the 360 is inferior to PC and PS3;)

I think publishers underestimate the annoyance of getting part of a series and not the other. On PC, my gaming platform of choice, we are getting Fable 3 but never got Fable 2, and we got Halo and Halo 2 but seem to never be getting Halo 3 to finish the story. This is SOOOOO annoying.



So I feel for PS3 gamers who aren't getting ME1.

This may be the case. However, this can be fixed by exclusive PS3-only content. This may be a good stimulation.

For example, I own 2 copies of Bioshock 1, one for PC, other for PS3. I've bought it on PC first, and on PS3 later, partly because I prefer PS3, but partly because of exclusive content. And this content is premium, not free.

Another major case is ME1 decisions. I've played ME1 on PC, and so did most players who prefer PS3 but wanted to try out ME1. Now sequel comes to platform I prefer, but memories of my ME1 playthrough are still fresh and i would like a way to input my decisions in ME2. Maybe an optional questioning before the game starts? Where you fill in missing data about what happened to Wrex, insect race, council etc.
Thing is, I haven't played ME2 yet, too many games, too little time. But most of my friends who prefer PS3 played it already on PC. It may be tough to convince them to buy it for PS3 again, but not impossible. People re-buy games as GoTY editions, enhanced editions, like Super Street Fighter 4. Or RE5 with PS Move support. What is required here, is something substantial that makes PS3 version the one to get. Like Super Street Fighter 4 actually worth getting to those who own SF4 already. Since it all boils down to marketing, there are numerous ways to achieve it. Not only exclusive DLC, but maybe Move support, or some general game enhancement. Like, as it's commonly mentioned, helmet toggle. Redesigned resource mining. Something that will make my friends and other who have PC version think "hey, there is some awesome stuff on PS3, it looks like game will feel even better with it, I should try it!"

Good example - Alone in The Dark Inferno. Well, this game is broken in many ways and actually PS3 version is the only one playable, but it's not the case... The case is PS3 version IS different and offer something new in terms of experience. While, mind it, the story remains exactly 100% same.
