BioWare CEO: PS3 is powerful and unlike anything else

[QUOTE="Metroid_Other_M"]

it has so much power that the games can barely run at 720p and 30fps. sweet lies, food for the fanboys.

lol, you realize theyres jsut as many 360 games taht dont run at 720p as there are PS3 games? maybe even more.

[QUOTE="chaplainDMK"]

They just said that they acutaly like the PS3. For all you know EA could have had BioWare locked in a basemtent and held at gunpoint to make the PS3 version better looking.

88mphSlayer

well of course they like it, they're making money now that it's $299 and more gamers are flocking to it, gamers with money to spend

but people have to remember these are multiplat devs making these statements, they're the last people in the industry who would optimize for one platform over other platforms

like i said earlier, sorta like on PC where a dev might praise Nvidia or include Physx, but not put much effort behind it because they still gotta sell the game to ATI users

this is still a business

im sure if you asked them, they would tell you that the 360 is a great and powerful syestem also. The thing is, I think your drinking the 2005 PS3 Koolaid too much. I really dont think PS3 has proven itself for multipaltform yet, considering it still get the worse version alot of times.

"unlike anything else"? shouldn't that praise be geared towards the PC?ohthemanatee

Edit: Oops forgot to add my opinion. As a PS3 owner i dont care to see ME on the PS3. I would much rather see a new bioware exclusive.

[QUOTE="Karnage108"]Lol, just like Valve. They're trying to hide their hatred for the ps3 with these comments... otherwise they would actually make some games for it.fire-dragon-90

Valve is hopeless.. their president is too fat his mind only focus on one console. he probably needs 2 chairs to set on his office.. the company should have been called Fatve

What does personally attacking its president's physique has anything to do with the company? Do you have issue with fat people?

Ir eally think SONY is going to do everything in tehir power to make sure that dosent happen again. theyll probaly have a PS4 ready int ehir pocket, so when MS announces theres, they just come back the next day and announce there new console as well. Also, i would really hope MS dosent pull the trigger on the next gen too soon like they did with 360. and they continue to support 360 like SONY did with the PS2 once the new XBOX comes out. also, I really hope the next XBOX is BC with my 360 games. Sames go with PS3 games on PS4.

Amen, DA:O was superior on the PS3 as far as consoles go AND it got the same score as ME:2. Sounds like Bioware is actually taking the time to learn how to program for the PS3.

Game-fu

It only looked better on PS3, but it didnt run nearly as well then on 360. So if you want the best LOOKING version, then yeah go PS3, but if you want the best RUNNING version, get it on 360. Or get it on PC and have both.

Well, regardless it got .5 higher than the 360 version. The point is, there are already BioWare games on the PS3 that rival ME:2 in-terms of quality, and even trump their 360 counter-parts. Even if only slightly.

again, trump is very subjective. the only Bioware game on both PS3 and 360 is Dragonage, as far as I know atleast. And the 360 version actually ended running better than the PS3 version. regardless of wether or not it got a lower score, it still RAN better on 360, adn many could argue thats more important than looking better. If PS3 really is this beast of a console that Bioware said ti was, then the PS3 should have ran AND looked better than teh 360 version, not jsut look better.

My eyes hurt when I read this. Try it out...

"Well, you know every platform has its pros and cons and they're all challenging in different ways," Muzyka told Nowgamer.

The interesting thing about approaching a new platform like PlayStation is that it's very powerful and it's just different from anything else.

You have to embrace that and make sure that you're fully aware of the technology differences and make use of all the strengths of the platform."

TC you misquoted him. It says "just different", which is not nearly as epic sounding as *queue Old King James voice* AND UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE. PS3, there is none like him. :P

Although what he says is true, he is in no way comparing the power of the PS3 to other platforms.

---

I feel less fanboyish these days and I think it would be cool if more people got to experience the best series of this generation...Mass Effect.

Anyway, nobody seems to realize that true reason BioWare won't put Mass Effect on PS3 is that it won't sell any copies.

I like what you did with the boxart.

You're right, it is subjective. I was speaking in-terms of GameSpot's review scores.

Sony's PR department must run some program where studios gotta put out at least 1 good press release about the PS3's magical hardware

i don't think i've ever heard so many developers say the same thing about one console in my entire life

here's the general formula i guess:

X well known 3rd party dev says:

"We work on lots of platforms, but the ps3 is special. Now that the price is low, we plan on spending more time on it. We hope someday to support it more."

inbetween the lines: "we can make more money on it, so we're gonna suck up to sony"

88mphSlayer

LOL if the general concensus of the dev community is that the ps3 is powerful, what can you possibly argue against that, being a mere forum poster? they are the ones that owrk the tech, not us. that's why i laugh at the lems here, saying 360 and ps3 is the same in terms of graphical prowess when ever since 2006 you can never hear the words 360 and powerful in the same sentence, besides here in Gamespot System Wars. hahahahaa.

it has nothing to do with which console is actually more powerful, i'm sure most devs in the industry have known the machines in and out since they came out

and everything to do with multiplatform devs making money off the platform, and putting some of that moolah behind making sure future titles are just as good on the ps3, so they can make more moolah so they can buy a pool

i mean hell, Activision is praising the ps3... do you really think Activision puts a whole lot of weight behind their graphics? yeah not really

I don't want Mass Effect, I want Alan Wake.

We are nearly five years into this generation and we are now starting to see developers figuring out the PS3?

They should have it down cold about a year into the life of the Xbox 720 and Wii HD

Hahadouken

I dont think it aggravates him, hes just pointin it out

I think the PS3 exclusives says alot about the power of the PS3:), so he is'nt wrong when saying it is powerfull. But he is'nt exactly saying that it's more powerfull than the X360 or PC. He's just talking about the different strengths of the platform, and being aware of it.

lol i am sure those ppl say the samething on wii...

When I see their games in 1080p and 120 FPS I'll believe it.

No doubt about it. Microsoft isn't going to let Sony get the upper hand on them again in the graphics department. Plus Nintendo will also come along into the HD business with great graphics as well. I don't know about Sony. There's no telling if they even have the necessary amounts in their gaming division left to pull out the PS4.

I know this will shock some of the Sony-types around here, but BioWare does make games other than Mass Effect. In fact they've already made a game for the PS3, and will probably make more in the future.

So please, for the love of all that is good and holy, can we stop taking every instance where BioWare mentions the PS3 and turning it into "OMG Mass Effect is coming to the PS3!"?

[QUOTE="PBSnipes"]

[QUOTE="fire-dragon-90"]

For the love of all that is good and holy would poeple like you please stop mentioning that PS3 wont have Mass Effect? ;)

ohthemanatee

Cute, but there is absolutely, positively nothing to indicate Mass Effect is ever coming to the PS3. On the other hand, Dragon Age is already on the PS3, Dragon Age 2 will all-but-certainly be on the PS3, and BioWare's new IP will probably be on the PS3 as well. But he couldn't possibly be referring to working on those games. No, this is clearly a secret message to PS3 owners everywhere that ME is on its way.

I'd love to see something from Bioware on the PS3 :Dlbjkurono23
