EA has told videogaming247 that any rumours regarding a PS3 port of its hit BioWare space RPG, Mass Effect, are... wrong.

It was expected that the franchise would go multiplatform after EA acquired BioWare from MGS for $860m back in Oct 2007. Rumours of a PlayStation 3 port have persisted ever since.

"The rumour regarding Mass Effect being developed for PS3 is inaccurate," said the rep. "Hope that helps."

When we asked whether that means any future games in the franchise would remain solely on 360 the rep replied:

"Impossible for EA to provide comment on this given that no such games have been announced."

Rumours of a sequel were rife earlier this month when a CMPEvents listing revealed that BioWare's Corey Andruko and Dusty Everman are to hold a talk on Mass Effect 2's level design at GDC 09.

It's really up to Bioware and they already said their main focus would be on the PC/XBox 360 for most of their titles. I don't even think they have a PS3 Dev Kit in their office.

take 2 said that because they had a timed exclusive deal with microsoft, and announcing it would hurt sales of the 360 version, and those who might buy hardware to play it, not so with Mass effect because the 360 and PC versions have been out for a long time.

Inaccurate? WTH does that mean. No that doesn't help. What part of the rumour is inaccurate, is it the PS3 porting aspect, the being reveal at GDC part or are there general grammar mistakes the rumour. And what about ME 2 or 3.

Bioware unfortunately said that the game has been designed with consoles constantly in mind ... or gimped being the shortened term.

seems very clear to me. they said it's not being developed currently. may come later, but it probably won't. nobody buys year-old ports. and it's hard to see Mass Effect 2 or 3 without ME1 (that'd be kinda weird).

it didn't have very good pacing at times. and the side-quests didn't feel rewarding at all. pacing probably would have felt fine without the side-quests, now that I think about it.

The side-quests are interesting but they really don't feel rewarding as you stated. I think I'm just going to do the main story because I feel as if doing the side-quests are hindering my experience with the game.

The 360 version is already inferior to the PC version, it wouldnt be any different with the PS3 version. As I see it, Mass Effect should be left to the PC.

EA said no Mass Effect for PS3, but if you take the inverse cosine of the interger depicted by the factorization of the variables in the inverse tangent of those letters, it actually confirms that ME is coming to PS3! ME for PS3 confirmed! lol @ Lemmings!!! :lol:

And that, ladies and gentlemen is how you pull the classic "MGS4 to X360". All rights reserved to Lemmings Incorporated.

Cosine of the factorisation.... of the inverse ...tangent... What kind of crazy maths do you do? lol

Well good thing it is not up to you because the developers want to make a profit which won't be wise considering the state of sales for major PC games.

yea. if the side-quests seemed more relevant to the story-arc, they would have been better. If I were doing it again (playing through the game), I'd skip as many side-quests as possible. they just slow you down.

I don't see the point in ME2 coming to PS3 anyway, unless ME1 goes there first, because it's a story driven game, and nearly none of the cows who will buy this for the PS3 will have played through the first. Those who have will already own a 360 or gaming PC and can play through it on those systems anyway.

I'd rather play the PC version of ME2 rather than a 360 or PS3 version.

ME on the 360 was great, but you could tell the interface was designed with PC more in mind.

Maybe ME2 will ship with a ME1 movie, similar to what Shenmue II done for the Xbox so that people can get up to speed with the story.

If the original isn't coming to PS3 then there's no point for any sequel to come. It's going to let you carry over stuff that you did in the original game with save data.

Cows really seem to want Mass Effect, so I think EA should port it.
