I would totally do that if BioWare would let me.

I second that, completed the game on PC just a month ago in preparation for my PS3 outing. Would definitely like to carry my character over. Someone looking into it if its possible please!



Karim Shepard must live on!

Why not just play it on the PC anyhow?



I believe many think the PC version is the best of the ones out there anyhow.

[RAF1940]

I agree, you should've just stuck to PC.



As for it being best, that's all about preference. I had the option to play on PC, but I chose 360 because I can't play shooting games on PC.

[Karim_A]

The only reason I played it on PC was the fact that I had no choice. Keyboard and mouse controls and foreign to me, and actually I used a PS3 controller to complete ME1, which you would appreciate would cause some issues with the game as it was not designed to play as such.



Also I bought the game on my friend's Steam account as my laptop cannot run any games, so me playing Mass Effect 2 would mean me taking his laptop again and I have the option of PS3 which is easily accessible due to the familiarity with console controls and the headache of being able to run the game in the first place, I do not think the PC is the best version.



So bioware if you can through us a bone. My copy hasn't arrived yet and I will play it multiple times, so even if it isnt ready immediately you can still work on it.

I finished ME1 on PC & 360 and I finished ME2 on PC & 360. I prefer PC version over the consoles' version, but I prefer PS3 over 360 and wished I could import the PC save file to the PS3.

Well, not gonna happen. There never cross platform cooperation, fanboys and companies are making sure of that.



As for PC being "superior" your opinion, I hate playing a game on computer, other than a RTS.

A PS3 is 300$. A good gaming computer, which would not last long since game are evolving so fast, would cost around 2000$ And again, The difference is just not that great. This is my opinion of course.

Might be $2000 but it's not just for gaming: video editing, audio editing, graphical development, "Office" related processing, software development, etc. and gaming. So it's well invested money. Btw, did you know you can create UT3 mods on PC and have them play on the PS3 version? It's officially supported. Google it.

The difference in the architecture of a PS3 versus PC is pretty monumental. There would have to be some kind of application that converts the PC save into a PS3 save and I can't see BW going through that trouble. Not to mention, such a converter's existence would probably be some kind of security issue. It could probably be hacked to make modded saves for this and other games. Not that that doesn't already happen. Look at Modern Warfare 2. That game was a joke from the start due to hacked saves.

Would it be possible to actually use a ME2 save file from PC on a PS3?



My ps3 is jailbroken so I think I'm going to mess around with the files a bit and see if I can get it to load my PC shep.

[KGBird]

I have ME 1&2 on 360 and PC and I"m currently playing ME2 on PC. Already finished on 360. Both playthroughs are with imported characters. 360 = paragon, PC = renegade.



I think that the reason you can't do this move saves to PC on 360 and vs versa is more about the closedness of the 360 platform. If you copy your saves from a PS3 onto a flash drive, you can see them on a PC and vice versa. It would be trivial for someone to put their PC save on a flash drive and read the flash on a PS3. All ME2 on PS3 would need to do is know how to read the save.

Portal 2 has cross-platform co-op. All platforms except 360, though. People on Macs, PCs and PS3s can play together.

Exceptional, but it exists. I hope for PS3 fans that BioWare is considering cross-platform save file management.

But judging by the reduced file size of the game I'm guessing all sidequests that only exist when you have an ME1 file were removed.

You don't need a jailbroken PS3 to do it. Unreal Tournament III on PS3 could run mods created on the PC. So if they really wanted to, Bioware could probably get it to work.

Obviously Bioware could make an application that you could use to upload a save file from the PC version of ME1 and then convert and import it into the PS3 or Xbox version of ME2. It's certainly possible. However, you have to remeber that in the end there are only a handful of players that would benifit from such a service and that developing it would most likely take significant amounts of time and resources. It's just not worth it for Bioware. I'd really like to use my PC ME1 saves in my PS3 version of ME2 as well, but I doubt it's ever gonna happen.

I would love to importy my PC ME1 save too. So that makes two people. How many more does this need to benefit before Bioware spends the resources to make it work?

[KGBird]

Wishing a little harder because I picked up ME2 on PS3 today... I'm totally addicted to Bioware games...

[Mecha Tengu]

wait how does this work....



USB file transfer?



lol explain

[Shiratori]

The save file structure for the PS3 is completely different than the 360 or PC. One doesn't work for the other at all.

You do realise that the Xbox is nothing more than a low end PC with custom firmware and OS?
Thats why the PC is superior. You can do what YOU want with YOUR hardware. Its only as low end as you allow it to be, rather than letting a 3rd party dictate what can and cant go onto PC architecture.

Edit: PS3, from memory, runs on Risc architecture, the same architecture which used to power the Macs until Apple gave up that line of hardware.

I don't think they will implement it - there are too few customers who will benefit from it.

[The Demon 117]

Uh guys, you CAN import your Mass Effect 2 save from PC to 360 and vice-versa. It just takes a little technical know how. I can detail it in this thread if you want.



Of course, it's not ME 1 PC to 360/PC, but it's as close as you'll get.



If someone could tell me what container the saves on the PS3 are stored in, I could look into figuring out how to get PC/360 saves onto the PS3. Of course, it would help if I still had my PS3. >_>

I'm in. Please walk me through it.

[PapaLongLegs]

This is a silly request compared to what's going on with corruption, lets focus here guys!





Just play through ME1 on your PC, then make all the same choices in the interactive comic, thats what I did

[uzivatel]

I believe there are more pressing matters ... like the save corruption and other issues. There are too few people to benefit from such system.

I could see future games saving in the cloud ("sweet" little DRM right there) and people being able to use the saves across platforms (Valve announced it, Microsoft demoed it and I doubt EA would stay behind for long), but we are not there yet. We probably wont be there by the time ME3 is released and no-one is going to return to ME1 to add such feature.
