“Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360″
Mass Effect 2 Shifts 2 Million Units
Article written by Tuffcub in PS3 News, on Friday, November 27, 2009 at 16:00.
Bioware’s Greg Zeschuk has been interviewed by Joystiq and has revealed the Playstation 3 is now a ‘key platform’ for the company. Although the PS3 version of Dragon Age was developed out of house Bioware will now take care of all future Playstation releases themselves. Greg was, of course, asked about Mass Effect on PS3 and his answer was,
“We’re not saying anything about Mass Effect for PS3. I don’t know anything about that! That’s crazy talk. I don’t know anything about that. ”
Calm down Greg, such strenuous denial! Anyone would think you were covering and not allowed to say a word about the absolutely definitely does not exist Mass Effect PS3. Take a deep breath, is there anything else you would like to say?
“I can definitely say Dragon Age and other things we do will definitely be on PS3…. now I think we’re at the the position where future PS3 stuff will be really solid.”
You heard him kids, other things Bioware do will definitely be on PS3, that sounds like.. hey.. who are you? Who let you in to TSA Towers? Bioware Secret Police? What are you doing with that gag? What crazy talk? All I was going to say is that Masssmmmmfffffff…… eep.

You don’t know how much I want ME to come out on PS3. It sounds like that is a strong possibility too if the way Greg was shouting about it not being PS3. I played the first and loved it and might have to re-purchase it just in case it doesn’t arrive on the PS3.

Same here! I love ME and would love to play it on PS3 rather than PC.

I really enjoyed it on the PC.
I have a rather decent rig so I like playing games that come over to the PC as I get the best experience.
I wish they added controller support to ME though.

I enjoy playing RPG’s much more on the pc but i’d have to get a new pc to get the most out the graphics so i’d prefer it if it came to ps3

Please BioWare, put us out of our misery and just tell us when it’s due out

I read the entire interview, anyone with a brain knows that Mass Effect will be a timed exclusive for M$ with the clause that they cant talk about it untill that exclusivity is finished.

Uh no, it was to infer a paid for exclusivity deal, you know, bought with this big people stuff called Money. Sorry I had to break it down for you, next time I will use less complicated communication so you can understand it.

Year using “M$” was last acceptable: 1998
Age you were in that year: 5
Sorry I had to break it down for you, next time you will use more contemporary parlance so as not to be mocked.

So he made a ‘M$’ crack, big deal. That guy whose every post is some nonsensical diatribe against SCEE is way more annoying and nobody bothers to reprimand him.

Yess but Sony atleast develop their games in-house and dont chuck money at developers to prevent other users from playing games. Yes its done wonders for their business and its quite smart but its still annoying from a gamers point of view.

I’m sure Konami gave the PS3 MGS4 out of the kindness of their hearts, did they?

(Though i very much doubt it is the case) It would be nice to believe loyalty played a part!
With regard to Bioware, I think only good can come of this deal.

Ha! I knew that Dragon Age was just their PS3 test, now since Mass Effect 2 comes out soon what we need is a revamped DOUBLE PACK OF MASS EFFECT!. Yes that would be great. Now hopefully the Bioware Secret Police don’t – Oh there they are.

Hopefully the PS3 version of Dragon Age working better than the 360 has shown them ME will work on the shiny black beast

I bet that Mass Effect will be released on PS3 in the future. Like so many other titles. Personally i’m waiting for Star Ocean too, which was at first an xbox “exclusive”

What kind of game is mass effect? What is the setting and starting story?

It’s exactly the same as Knights of the old republic, but with a new setting and FPS combat.
Not that that’s a bad thing.

The setting is planets with fences and space stations with annoying humanoids in it, who have to much to blabber about

this is really starting to grind my gears. I wish they’d just come out and say it one way or another. I for one would definitely buy it, and if they brought out a Mass Effect 1 & 2 double pack, i’d preorder it right now!

they’re not going to jeopardise any sales of mass effect 2 on 360 by announcing a ps3 port are they?
they’ll wait a few months after me2 launches before even announcing a ps3 version.
for all we know they might have started work on a ps3 version already.

I would simply love to fire up Mass Effect on my PlayStation 3. I have yet to buy Dragon Age, but I am still gagging for a decent Western-RPG after my upset with Fallout 3.

Mass effect sucks.
