I recently bought a PS3. Despite owning the Mass Effect trilogy on the 360 and PC, I decided to buy the series again (got the boxset) because I wanted a series I know I'd enjoy.

However the first game on the PS3 is a horrible experience. Loading times go on for such a period that using the quick travel terminals on the citadel is a waste of time.

I've never experienced a game stopping glitch on 360 or PC but have had it happen several times on the PS3. All too often I'm going into a conversation and there are no options presented on the dialogue wheel.

There is horrible lip synch because the dialogue starts playing before a cut-scene does.

I've not left the Citadel yet and I am dreading to think what the rest of the game is going to be like.

Honestly I expected the PS3 version of Mass Effect 1 to be the best of the three versions but boy have they messed it up.

sorry to hear that although I am not surprised . Less incentive for me to buy it then.

Only ever had trouble with dialog for the most part. Ashley repeating her lines and Shepards speech to the crew of the Normandy couldn't be heard. The strangest was Shepard picking something up from a table and Liara closed in and sandwiched Shepard between herself and the table and there was nothing i could do to get out of this mess other than reload an earlier save.

I am sorry to hear this also, My Son, and I got the trilogy pack for Christmas, I got the PC version, and MY son got the PS3 version.

I have heard no complaints from him about loading times, and such, but as he never played it on the Xbox, or PC maybe it is something that just has not bothered him.

I did notice that the graphics are a bit less on the PS3, but there were some other things I forget exactly what, that seemed improved did not see any other major differences. But I have not watched him play for long periods.

   As to getting sandwiched, by the players, could you not have given them a move to command to free your self from this hang up ?

  Of course only if you were on a mission. If you were on the ship this would not have been possible.

Completely agree. This port is horrible for PS3.

The game freezes every 2/3 hours. That is my biggest issue with the game. It mostly freezes while the game is loading. Although, I have had freezes while controlling Shepard as well. I did notice that the loading times are also quite long, but I don't know how that differs from 360. I know the loading times are way quicker on PC.

Dialogue is repeated during a couple parts of the game. Characters sometimes just disappear and you can hear a ghost talking. The dialogue audio just disappears.

There are horrible frame rate issues as well.

Yeah sounds like a bad port. I already have framerate issues on xbox with ME1 so I can guess it's that much worse with a bad port to PS3. Not sure why ME1 would have framerate issues and ME2/3 are fine; I suspect that the inventory system takes more memory resources.

IGN has a video comparing the load times. http://youtu.be/8n0k2MTOIII?t=2m19s It's much faster on 360.

I havent played the port, but from everything I hear it was probably a cheap cash grab. The team only had around 6 months to port a game designed with only the 360 (and by extension PC) to a system thats already hard to develop for. Not to mention the game wasn't perfect performance wise in the first place. 

Honestly they should have waited until next gen and do remakes for all consoles.

Thanks for the video. That pretty much sums it up.

Although, I'd like to know how well the 360 version runs after a couple hours play. The PS3 version gets quite jerky and eventually freezes.

I only tend to play for an hour or so before taking a break, my legs start to cramp up if I sit still for too long, so haven't encountered the game freezing

I've played ME1 on 360 a lot and have never had it freeze. 360 version loads even faster if you install it to the hard drive, also gets rid of a lot of pop in.

The textures for Shepard's hair take a long time to appear for my femShep. I know the 360 and PC versions had texture op-in as well but it is painful to watch in the PS3 version.

Ive got the trilogy on all three systems and PS3 isnt the best. But it works. Just not near as good as PC and Xbox! I noticed almost everything you guys mentioned in the above posts too.. I prefer PC now anyway but then it would be Xbox so im not too worried I rarely turn the Ps3 on!

[BarrettXM]

Its a port of a 2007 game. Did you expect it to work perfectly? I've had no problems with it. Great game.

[MELegendN7]

I agree Barret lol.... but Mass Effect 1 is very enjoyable.. I am realizing that now as I am just getting through a play through on PC its got a lot more mystique and unexpected little things and tunnels.. you can immerse yourself in.. the other two games do appear to have less of that..

Perfectly? No. Do I expect it to run at a satisfactory manner? Yes.

Constant freezing can't be good for the console. The game needs a warning on it, letting users know not to play past the 2/3 hours mark. 

The only other game that has frozen my PS3 this much is Black Ops 1.

I can look past the rest of the issues.

[googler12]

Just looked up video of this version....Why is there a loading screen for the main menu? h

Then you must have a worn or damaged PS3. There are some games(e.g. Skyrim) that barely work(ed) for other people but work fine for me.

Yeah the PS3 conversion is a very poor attempt.

Luckily I have played Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 on Xbox 360 and so I know how amazing the games are when you keep progressing. But if Mass Effect was released on PS3 at the same time as the other formats, I think it would have destroyed BioWares future on PS3 completely.

Problems I experienced on my first PS3 playthough on Mass Effect...

1: Team mates stick to you when entering certain locations. This happened many times but can be resolved by sending them forward to a different location.

2: Audio out of sync during speech and certain cutscene effects.

3: Game crashes resulting in a PS3 restart. The first happened on Noveria during the Mako travel through the mountains. Horrible slowdown which eventually resulted in a crash. The second happened when I tried to start a second playthrough and the game froze just as I created the character.

4: Missed cutscenes. Because I heard about how buggy the game was before I bought the trilogy, I was making sure to save before every cutscene. If not I would have missed the mission debrief when getting back on board the Normandy after completing Noveria.

5: Bad camera cutscene angles and glitches. I'm certain the odd one even happened on 360, but on PS3 so far I've encountered heads missing, no one in camera shot. floating omni tools . Pretty turd for a story which is supposed to draw you into its story experience.

Now I've just started my Mass Effect 2 first playthrough and so far found this bug...

Whilst all audio is pretty much in sync (cutscene sound effects can delay now and then), the actual audio stops before they finish speaking the last word. Luckily I use subtitles on every game, but its still very poor on BioWares behalf.

I even lifted my BioWare self gaming ban to play this. If this was my first ever ME experience, I would have been truly gutted,

I have a 360GB Slim PS3. It's 2 years old. It is not old, worn or damaged. If I was still using an old one that was available during release, I could understand this problem.

I don't have Skyrim, so I can't comment on that.

Every point you have commented on, has also happened to me. Although, I think I have experienced more freezes then you.

I don't think it's wrong to complain about these issues. I love the series. I've put hundreds of hours into these games (including multiplayer), but it does have some big issues on PS3.

Of course its not wrong, Nathan.

At the end of the day your buying a product and its supposed to be tried and tested before going on the shelf. BioWare just can't seem to make things work on PS3... much like a lot of devs. The reason its much better on 360 is because the 360 tech was very well known to devs. The PS3 was an amazing piece of kit, but no one knew how to develope for it for years.

But its definitely banged the final nail in my self BioWare ban. Yes ME is great, but gamers shouldn't have to put up with bug upon bug, just because we are loyal to the franchise and will try our best to get to the end no matter what.

 It's fine when I play it.

Do I expect perfection? No, to do so would be foolish.

However I did expect it to run at least as well as the Xbox 360 version. Yet it doesn't.

There is over five years between the two versions, I would have expected improvements to performance and not it getting worse.

Don't get me wrong, I am still enjoying playing the game again. It is just upsetting in a way because I know Mass Effect can be better. I own the trilogy on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, so it's not as if I am not a fan of the series.

[Brako Version 5.0]

Not to mention how many times you own individual copies of the game, DC.

And yeah I think we should have been able to expect it to work as good as it does on the 360. Devs are polishing up games much older than 5 years to work perfectly on this gen. So for a just a port over you would expect it to work just as well in performance, and not just a type of graphical enhancement.
