Mass Effect 2 on PS3? Very unlikely.

It won't end up on PS3 because Microsoft made a deal with Bioware and there's nothing EA can do about it. Plain and simple.Parasomniac

What do you think I meant when I said it's not possible for people who don't own ME1 also? I'm pretty sure you're the one who's misunderstanding why there is a flaw in your logic.

Uh, no. Actually, it's not that simple. Publishing rights are not conducive to IP exclusivity. EA has a more vested interest in making Bioware's game go multiplat then the previous owner of the studio. Unless Microsoft shells out a whole lot more money, which would not surprise me, multiplat status is a big possibility.

Not to mention the fact that ME2 is definitely going to go to the PC.

In any event, if you head over to the Bioware messageboards, you'd see that the devs are not at all averse to the idea of developing games on the PS3. While there are no known projects, they've never said they would never develop for it.

Well, does that explain why ME2 would not be on the PS3 though. I have a 360, are you saying that since I did not play ME1 on my 360, I cannot play on ME2 when it comes out because I cannot load my save? You're bringing it up as an option, which is exactly why it doesn't mean it won't be on the PS3 for that reason. It is not necessary to play the game. You get my point?

Maybe you should read the thread title next time if that's your problem.

If they paid for a 3 game deal before EA bought the studio then it doesn't just go away. Microsoft possibly even funds these games, who knows.Parasomniac

No ME for the PS3 but talks of a DS version. :lol: wow

Mass Effect DS Bound?

The game was never even hinted coming to PS3, so there is not even a rumor about a PS3 version

I dunno, it's a huge game, planned trilogy and now EA owning Bioware - if PS3 isn't included, I'm going to be a bit surprised though not really shocked.SecretPolice

I wonder if EA and Microsoft worked something out where Microsoft agreed to give over the publishing rights to EA under the condition that they keep it on only the 360 and PC.

Though it's entirely speculative. It's still possible that Mass Effect 2 will appear on the PS3 (and if it does, would the original be released as well).

Um... if Bioware and Microsoft had a contract then EA really just can't just try and dish out money to put it on the PS3. There would be repercussions to breaking a contract, ecspecially with Microsoft since they get upset easy. Since there is a contract already in place, I doubt anything will happen.

I think he means that Micro and Bioware may have signed a contract to bring Mass Effect Trilogy exclusive, you cannot break a contract without being penalized.

So, you are saying that NO ONE Will buy ME2 on 360, if they didn't play ME1? Sorry, that's not the case. The Swapping feature is a bonus. I thought you had something better than this. Remember Shenmue and Shenmue II? Metal Gear Solid 2? Devil May Cry 4? Champions of Norrath 2?

Does anyone really thinks that all the people that will play ME2 have played the original? That would mean that ME2 userbase would be only the people that bought the original and liked it. Meaning ME2 would sell less than the original. I don't think that's what Ea and Bioware have in mind.

As for the rest, we don't know what kind of deal M$ and EA have, it's not a publishing deal because Ea published the PC version of ME, but it can be a exclusivity deal for the 360 and PC. And don't forget, EA has a "crack team" that ports games for the PS3 so they can work pararel with Bioware.

meh..

not really interested in mass effect :P
