Mass Effect on PS3 to use Mass Effect 3 engine!

Why has no one mentioned this? How cool is that... finally a developer taking PS3 ports seriously. Can't wait for January. Never got the chance to play this.

Kinda late to the party:P

Old news. Pretty cool though.

Isn't it just the unreal 3 engine? Fightingfan

Heavily modified Unreal Engine 3.5;)

This really should be in the Mass Effect 2 PS3 forum. Or are just trying to start a flame war?EliteM0nk3y

It's been mentioned...........and someone will probably mention it again..................and again.

Wait.. so Mass Effect, ME2, and ME3 all use slight variations of the same engine, and the PS3 version of ME will have the ME3 engine?! Wait.. that doesn't sound so special afterall :P

Wasn't 360 exclusive.

The website says: Houston adds that much of the DLC released for the 360 version, included all patches, is to be included on the disc. What do they mean "much of the DLC"? What are we not getting? I'm buying a 360 in 2011 anyway, so it's a bit lame this is now coming to ps3 anyway :) Oh well, Halo Reach here I comethetruespin

You!..............buying a 360.............did you hit your head or something?:shock:

I 'll believe it when I see it.

If you say console exclusive than yes :P

But when comparing the 360 and PS3 people do generally mean console excluisve.

ME1 looked better than ME2 at least on PC. GeneralShowzer

Yeah... no. ME2 looked much better, and had better, more consistent textures all around, if not quite as high in places.

I can say the same to you.

Textures looked horrible compared to ME1.

ME2 had a better art**** there's nothing really to argue.

ME1 PC looks better, because it's better optimized for PC.

Yeah, hence my 'in places' bro. Overall texture quality was much much better. Find me a comparision of a random NPC to a random NPC and then we'll talk.

PS. ME2 is the GOTY, hell, Game of the Gen. :)

Hmm. Interesting news. Should be interesting.TheMoreYouOwn

Well if its interesting news, it must obviously be interesting:P Unless that was the joke:evil:

'cause the overall texture consistency in ME2 is better. ;) You'll never admit it though.

Both ME1 and ME2 had bad textures on NPCs.

There was a small config change that would fix some of the fuzziness on textures in the first ME though.

ME1 had better background textures.

I don't agree. I think that ME2 looked slightly better than ME1. Smoother edges, a few better textures, etc.. It overall just had a sharper look to it. I just played through both games within the last 3-4 weeks at 1920x1080 on all max settings, so I think I have a pretty good idea.

Granted, this debate will always be a matter of opinion since our eyes can see different things while looking at the same thing. I liked the graphical adjustments that were made from ME1 to ME2, however small they were. Plus Miranda had cameltoe.
