Now I know retail listings are a big source of false rumors, but Amazon are usually pretty reliable... So, what do you guys think?

Me, I'm gonna pre-order it now :)

It's already been stated that it is coming out for the PC/360 by the developers I believe. I don't preorder anything myself but I am most likely going to be picking this up since I loved the first one so much.

They also have a release date of October 2009. Not bloodly likely.
To answer your title question, nothing has been 100% confirmed.

well MS published the first and PS3 hasnt really been mentioned much with the sequel so maybe MS is still doing the whole series, it would make sense for MS to keep it on 360 and games for windows. its a big money exlcusive

MS is no longer involved in the series' development. EA is.
The PC version was also never GFW-branded.

This PC counterpart of this game absolutely blew the 360 version out of the water (steady frames, no texture pop-in, much higher rez)... and it is also one of my favourite games this gen... definately not subpar by any means.

Back on topic, i'm hoping the PC version is released alongside the 360 version, but i'm not sure if Bioware is handling the PC development

Why would you pre order a game we know nothing aboutSAGE_OF_FIRE
I'm really not into preorders at all, but based on the first game, If I was, I'd preorder it in a heartbeat.

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, explain to me how Mass Effect had terrible art direction. Anyway it's pretty much a given that Mass Effect 2 will be PC/360 only, unless BioWare shifts the game over to the Eclipse Engine (which is being used for Dragon Age). EA's owned all publishing rights to the ME franchise (excluding the 360 version of ME1) for over a year now. If they were serious about bringing ME 2 to the PS3, we would have seen a PS3 edition of ME 1 by now.

the level design is very simplistic, the texture work sucks, and the models are low polygon.

they cant use the unreal engine 3 for shat.

It does, but like all BioWare games, it's extremely generic.
Fortunately, graphics are the least important factor when gauging the quality of their titles.

The level design is fairly good for an RPG, not the best by all means, but more than reasonable... plus what pc character models were you looking at, they were pretty damn impressive... I've seen pc exclusives with much worse character models.

Plus UE3 is overused, overhyped piece of software

I wouldn't mind at all if it comes for the PS3. Then even more people get to experience the greatness that is Mass Effect. ;)

Mass effect has some of the best art direction this gen. Do you even know what art direction is?

I am pretty sure that BioWare has confirmed they are shooting for a 2010 release.

The first one didn't so why would the second? Besides, if the second one is going to pick up where the first left off then PS3 players would likely be in the dark as far as many aspects of the story go.

It's too early to tell. Bioware may say it's PC/360 only, but EA has the final say, so it's possible that Mass Effect 2 will appear on PS3.

PC/360/PS3 i think that was already confirmed and 2010 right? Should be a really good came, i'd prefer it on PS3 though.
