My brother in-law decided to try the Me2 demo on PS3... he never played ME1 or ME2, but he's fairly familiar with them since he's watched a lot of my youtube vids I have on both games.

However, he's purely a Ps3 gamer... so he was delighted to try it finally...

Well it seems like for now he's not buying ME2 on Ps3 after playing the demo... he told me that the game has horrendous frame rate drops, frequent screen tearing and general poor performance... during both gameplay and dialogue.

I decided to drop by his house and check it out... and sure enough, it was atrocious... I run ME2 on a midrange PC on full settings at 1440x900 resolution and it runs like silk... I've played it on Xbox and it runs flawlessly as well.... but on PS3? Wooaa... it was unacceptably bad.

Why on earth did you release this horrific PS3 demo? I thought maybe it was my brother in-law's PS3.. maybe it was damaged or soemthing... but it isn't.

Just go to youtube, search for ME2 PS3 demo... and watch the intro, they all pretty much have the exact same screen tearing and frame rate loss I saw on his ps3.... so it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident.

Did Bioware even test the damn demo? Or watch it? It may be an earlier build than the final version, but it's scared him off from buying it.. and probably a fair number of other people as well.

The worst though was during combat... anytime you tried to spin around quickly to face another direction, the FPS often dropped to what looked like no more than 20fps.... ugh.

I really hope Bioware doesn't release the full version on the ps3 in this state.... you'll burn yourself with ME3 on the ps3 if you screw up ME2 :(

I'm not a ps3 gamer, so I don't personally care that much... but I want ME2 / 3 to succeed as much as possible... and this is not how you succeed :(
