Didn't EA Say a long time ago there will be no PS3 versions of any ME games? I think MS was supposted to have cut a deal with them on that.

If you actually read the article. The 'ONLY REASON' the writer of this story claims that Mass Efect 2 is going multiplatform is bc Microsoft didn't talk about it at their gamers day.

"What is even more interesting is that Microsoft not mentioning Mass Effect 2 at all this year confirms what many Xbox fans have feared, and everyone else knew—Electronic Arts is taking complete control of the franchise from Microsoft, and the franchise will be finding its way to PlayStation 3 in one form or another."

This is 'ALL' the writers 'speculation' and is basically a made up article so his website will get hits.

Microsoft even stated earlier that they don't want to show games until they are ready.

MS: "We're not showing Halo Wars here today because we wanted to focus on these titles," he said. "When we show titles WE WANT TO SHOW THEM WHEN THEY ARE READY. We've learned that from a few games we showed too early, like Too Human."

"The same goes for Alan Wake," he added. "We're managing that very carefully with Remedy."

This article is all speculation from 1 person, basically just a blog.

can the publisher of this article please change the title to RUMORS:Mass Effect 2 Going Multiplatform, Halo Wars Pushed Back

Now i can finlly play a western RPG on my PS3, or might have just missed one.

Haha, i didnt bother reading this article, sounded to good to be true.
RUMORS FOR NOW....

what make anyone hear think that it can fit into ps3's 256.

when 360 fanatics (you all know who you are) were trolling about games pushed back or delaystation etc. and now??? go figure...

As a PS3 owner I'm bound to be patient, apart from being a patient individual, so I don't care if games get delayed on the PS3.

Most of the time games get delayed for the better... So if Alan Wake and Halo Wars(useless game IMO), got delayed, so they can be released a better product?? It's all good.

So patience my fellow 360iers... If it's difficult for you guys, contact any PS3 owner via PM and we will be more than happy to assist you.

only a matter of time MS.. times ticking

HAHAHA more bad news for 360.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well at least they got BANJO KAZZZOOOOOOOOOIE WOOOO YA.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I dont usually laugh like that.. but come on.. its hilarious.. Uh OH could BioShock be next???? if so that leaves GeoW and Halo as the only big hitters on 360.. HMM well halo 3 is already out and GeoW2 is coming out this year.. Then what.. What comes after that??

I cant wait for POG, InYourMom and LaChances comments on this one.. HAHAHAHAHA

Edit: I didnt notice it at first.. but HALO wars is pushed back to 09.. HMM WAITBOX 360 HAHAHAHA

Microsoft did not mention Halo War as well. Does that mean Halo War is also going multiplatform?

It's been known for a while that Mass Effect 2 is not coming out in 2008, that's why it's not in this year's line-up. It's pathetic how PS fanboy would seize upon every opportunity to say some Xbox 360 exclusive will be ported to PS3.

Wait, didn't PS fanboys also claim that the first Gears of War will be appear on PS3? BioShock? Well.

BioWare does not even have any internal staff that know how to program for PS3. And BioWare has not put out any ad to hire any programmer for PS3 as well. So how do you suppose BioWare will be able to make anything for the PS3 if they don't even have anyone who knows how to program for the PS3?

"aging nicely into vapourware."

Cor, thats a bit rough. Funny wording though.

Have fun having no idea what the hell is going on.

"What is even more interesting is that Microsoft not mentioning Mass Effect 2 at all this year confirms what many Xbox fans have feared, and everyone else knew—Electronic Arts is taking complete control of the franchise from Microsoft, and the franchise will be finding its way to PlayStation 3 in one form or another."

Thats it, thats his basis for this rumor....OK sure.

JOY

for every 100 posted only 1 or 2 have any proof to them.

that means it's going over to the PS3?

Hello? It's known for a long time that Mass Effect 2 won't be out in 2008.

The earliest Mass Effect will be out is in 2009.

And given that BioWare does not have any internal staff that knows how to program for the PS3 and hasn't put up any ad to hire people to code for the PS3, I don't expect BioWare to make anything for the PS3 soon.

that actually could happen

So a 2008 meeting doesn't talk about a 2009 title and it means it's going multi-platform? Bioware has already said they won't touch the Ps3 for Mass Effect and EA has agreed.

yea a bit of a stretch on his theory but its highly possible for ps3 versions of mass effect. Personally dont care because wouldnt buy it over games like ff but for those that do I guess they should be a little happy.

mass effect ? not my type of game

that the person who posted this is XboxEvolved.

http://n4g.com/up/1021.aspx

This is from 'HIS' website(Xboxevolve.e-mpire.com ). He only did this so his website would get hits.

http://n4g.com/ClickOut.asp...

This shouldn't even have been approved. People should actually read the story. Instead of fanboys just reading the title and approving it.

I have no interest in mass effect 2, but I really hope the PS3 starts getting some RPGs pretty quick here. The PS3 was supposed to be the RPG lovers platform, so where the hell are all the RPGs?

It could also be that ME 2 isn't coming out this year (though ME 2 has a 80% chance of coming out on the PS3 as well concurrently with the 360 version).

i would like it if ME2 went multi. i believe loading would be better on the PS3 since it would probably have a mandatory install, in turn decreasing loading times. i should probably get back to trying to beat the first one, haha.

I got BANNED on the BioWare forums because I asked if Mass Effect or Dragon Age would come to the PS3. I had posted only ONE message in the forum.

BioWare staff got so sick and tired of the rumors that they have a strict policy: any PlayStation fanboy (which I'm obviously not but they think I'm one) who goes into the forums and asks/suggests that Mass Effect or Dragon Age will/should come to the PS3 get a ban immediately. Ask/say it three times and you get a *permanent* ban.

it's much more faster huh? learn english please

I have no interest in ME2...so i could care less about it going multi-plat....

what? why would I fear something like that it's not like it will kill me.

It's too early to talking about ME2 anyways so this doesn't mean sh!t.

Hi GUYS!

long time no see

i have an inportant question, can you buy houses in gta 4?

This post is full of more shyt than the PS3 droids..

LOL sure.

Why would they talk about Mass Effect 2 durring *gamers day* vs in later game shows due to the game being in its very earily stages?. lol

How many times does the devs have to say EA isn't going to fuc with their plans and the devs have no plans for PS3 what so ever to bring ME2 to PS3.

Even the Halo Wars theory doesn't make sense MSFT said they were not ready to show it durring *gamers day* they did not say it was going to be a 2009 release. lol

HAHAHAHAHA! Payback is a b1tch ain't it? Now it's the 360 thats losing exclusives. ROFL!

LOL

Just because they didn't show Halo Wars doesn't mean it's not coming out this fall. It's a pivotal title that NEEDS to come out this year. Alan Wake being pushed back is confirmed. But Mass Effect 2 being multiplatform is pretty obvious. The hardware bases for PS3 and 360 are going to be relatively equal by the end of the year, and that's something that EA obviously will not ignore.

They didn't pay a billion dollars for Mass Effect to be 360-only.

The PS3 couldn't even run the first one hell it needed more time on the 360 what makes you think they would gimp the game going backwards from the first one?. PS3 doesn't have the RAM; hell ME on the 360 needed tweeking to better use its memory.

PS3 isn't powerful enough.

The foundation of the ME engine is multi core based I read this they would have to start all over for PS3 as if they have the time ans resources to do it even if EA made them and we know EA isn't going to come close if a seperate team somehow was able to keep up.

The game is a trill with a time frame of 3 gamers in this generation or close to it, ME on the PS3 would take the rest of the current generation to develope.

do u remember me? cuzz

"mass effect had trouble getting textures to load on 360's 512 of unified memory, what makes anyone hear think that it can fit into ps3's 256"

plus in my opinion your going to need the first mass effect game ,so that you don't put a gun to your head trying to figure out the story.

since when do MS talk about games in production in the Future?

MS always keeps things secret, they talk about NOW or just the current Year.

Unless something gets pushed back that is not making it this year then yes.

I don't know why all these xbots are getting butthurt now, this was announced a while ago. Really though , I could care less, the original game was garbage. Just give me FF13.

DelayBox?

i've been workin. I sold my ps3 to my cousin 2 months ago, because i didnt have time to play videos games, but im getting a new one next month.

because they have none... we knew about 360's 2008 line-up since 2006 and 2007.

Before releasing HALO3, Bioshock and ME last year.... They were talking about production of Fable2, Halo wars, Alan Wake, BK, NG2, Too human (this one since the original xbox).

MS doesn't talk about the future because they do not have any new exiting IP's.

Soon to be announced?? Forza3, PGR5, Probably HALO4 or something related to HALO, Bioshock 2 etc etc.

Whats funny about the WAITBOX 360 is... Well it sux.. Simple Answer Simple Post

this site will never change. ppl keep on hating

This isn't even a rumor; its made up by somebody and their theories. Its like me saying Killzone 2 was pushed back because it is coming to 360 and will give devs time with the 360 version then posting it as a valid rumor lol.

EDIT:
OHHHHHhhhh YOU IDOITS!!(in bug voice" from Men in Black)

Why would MSFT talk about or showcase a game thats been in development a a few months? the first one came out 6 months ago lowl. Are you people fucin stupid?. Why didn't Sony show or have info on Uncharted 2 at Sony's gamer day? is it coming to the 360?.
That dude was a pissed of 360 fanboy that wants it all when he says so.

Dose anyone here that only owns a PS3 even want to play Mass Effect?

I am asking because my brother in law bought the first one for his 360 played it for about an hour then traded it in.

I have yet to hear about this game from anyone I know that owns a 360 (thats about 13 people I talk to on the regular) to many damn friends. Anyways.

Halo Wars should be great. A tactical game with Halo's theme, what could go wrong.

have you heard of oblivian? Or ut3? Or uncharted? Or grand theft auto?
How is a 12 hour game that struggles with unreal engine graphics not capable on a more powerful ps3?

After being on this site for almost 2 years, the power of green has been reduced to another comment that can be ignored. Sony really is a business samurai! Slow to rise the sword, swift slice & a 1000 buckets of blood.
power of green you are as dumb as the console you sell. Very uniteresting, very old & out of touch with technolgy, very faulty with a pack of lies.
Youre only reassurance for people is to don't worry, the insurance online life insurance policy guarantees you a repair fellow xbutts.
Understand this once & for all! Xbox was a temporary fix when there was no competition. M$ exausted all of its resources, has never been profitable for its company, lost technology battles & is faulty.
Its the best of all time because of 5 games? It was fun while it lasted, but these 5 games are the same 5 games you'll play for years with no improovements because of the limits.
Why do you still stand with xbox? Because after all you still have to justify the robbery of xbox live & it pc powerpoint presentation. Thats why! & thats why there are more fans of Sony than the xbutts who like to get raped by paying to play on their own Internet connection online.

ps3 gamers don't even know anything about those games anyway.

get a 360 or pc and play it, it doesn't matter weather it be on 360 or pc/games for windows, your still supporting MS.

and i bet your all running windows XP or VISTA right now anyway.

who cares deal with it however way you want.

Cool. Was just wondering. Anyone else?

And hey man I loved KOTOR. Star Wars was just a great fit for this kind of western RPG. Mass Effect was just kind of lame to me.

I do hope that you enjoy it when you get it for your PC more than I did.

I hope it's true.

I dont have to get an xbox to play it then !! :)

Sweet !

This site is really starting to suck, they delete comments from me for saying something negative about a fake article, but they don't edit or delete the damn article?

What, are the mods on crack? Or do they just not care?

i don't care about mass effect, as a ps3 fan i was looking forward to halo wars, i think their going in a good direction with this 1. i like those age of empire type games. its a shame its getting pushed back, i was going to give this one a shot.

Haven't we been over this right HERE on N4G? There was this very rumor and it got debunked because EA itself said a while back that there will be no PS3 version of Mass Effect 2. Bioware also confirmed that Mass Effect 2 will stay a 360 exclusive.

What more do you need? Seriously, GTFO with this "rumor."

Rumors, folks. Nothing confirmed either way.

Everyone chill out.

"What is even more interesting is that Microsoft not mentioning Mass Effect 2 at all this year confirms what many Xbox fans have feared, and everyone else knew—Electronic Arts is taking complete control of the franchise from Microsoft, and the franchise will be finding its way to PlayStation 3 in one form or another."

i never understood the thinking of fanboys. exactly WHY would XBox fans fear Mass Effect 2 coming to the PS3? even if it comes to the PS3 (which this article offers no concrete news about, other than speculation), it doesn't mean its NOT coming to the 360 as well. i have Mass Effect on my 360 and i have no problem whatsoever if ME2 came to both the 360 and the PS3, as it would make the game available to that many more gamers.

finally mass effect 2 coming to ps3 now its not gonna have any frame rate issues and it will be a bigger game :)

More people get to play Mass Effect as a result. The franchise started on the 360 and I will finish it that way. 2008 is looking to be strong. Ninja Gaiden II in June, Too Human in August, Gears of War II in November, Fable II (08) and Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts...360 owners have plenty of excellent titles to play. For comparisons sake I would dare say that Xbox's line up is better than PS3's.

Xbox:

Ninja Gaiden II
Too Human
Gears of War II
Fable II
Banjo Kazooie

PS3:

MGS4
LBP
Resistance 2

These are the titles I'm excited about for both systems (as I own both). Haze is looking very lackluster, with very little to make it more than generic FPS. Killzone 2 coming out in 08? If so, add that to the list. When are you coming out Final Fantasy...WHEN?!

This is my OPINION and my preference for one line up over another. Please add intelligent discussion below and don't be offended.
Any titles I left out? Too many good games. Enough said.

Time to get a petition going to keep Mass Effect exclusive. LMAO, yeah right. As long as I can still play it I dont care. I expect the game to be better on the 360 as usual. Mass Effect is one of the best games I have ever played. Do yourself a favor ps3 fans and play it somehow someway.

Unless they put Mass Effect 1 on PS3 it would be weird to have Mass Effect 2 on PS3.

I think Mass Effect should stay on 360 and Final Fantasy should stay on PS3...and no Final Fantasy XI does not count ;)

just wanted to share the games I am buying on the PS3 this year. All ready got RB6V, GT5P, and GTAIV. Rest of the year Sing Star, Motorstorm 2, Star Wars TFU, Resistance 2, Haze (the story has me hooked), Metal Gear Solid 4, LBP, and Socom.

There are a lot of games I am still thinking about but these are all multi plat.

even have a 360 or do you just like talking sh!t about things you havent't even experienced.

Mass Effect 2 superior on PLAYSTATION®3 confirmed!

BTW,did anyone besides the lying Xzombies play the first Mass Effect on the 3FIXME? It ran like GARBAGE! The 3FIXME version of Mass Effect should have been called Framerate Effect!;)

$hane

When they said working with EA means no changes and that includes Mass Effect staying on the 360 as an exclusive. If you want to play games on the 360 you know what to do.

Dint know surfer girl was posting here directly.

Doom 4?

Like it or not, Mass Effect 2 will end up on the PS3.

Erm...

We haven't heard much about Gangs of London on the PS3 lately either, does that 'confirm' that it's coming to the 360 then?

What a nonsense leap of faith article this is.

one way or the other about ME2 or ME1 for that matter. Just get me some gotdamn(thats how I say it for all you spell checkers) JRPG's for my PS3. I caould care less about this other crap.

Given the fact that ME is primarly a 360 game chances are PS3 will wind up getting the gimped version anyways. I'll pass.

There are only two games that make me Jealous of not owning a 360.

Bioshock and Gears of War.

What comes to Halo Wars, Alan Wake etc..I personally hope they come next year. There's plenty of great games coming this year. Fable 2, Too Human alone is enough. Banjo will be great and of course Gears of War 2.

Also people always forget the weekly arcade titles and "smaller" games that won't often get so hyped. There will be more than enough gaming at least for me.

I find it funny how media/bloggers or what ever "news" people think if some game is not mentioned it will go multiplatfrom.. like Mass Effect in this case. Media likes to stir the soup, damn witches! :D

Also if 360 game is "late" or pushed back, that always means something really really bad and people think MS is in trouble, yet big PS3 are all pushed back several times and have been made years already and no one gives a sh!t... *shrugs*

I have this strange theory that the reason that Mass Effect looked so bad was that Microsoft pushed the release of the game before it could be polished up. Oh and for the record the game kicked ass. Maybe If the game came out on the PS3 they would have the time to polish it up and finish it, so no matter the hardware specs the game will look better. If it truly is coming out on the PS3.

Even so- it's FUN to watch you SLOBBERING PIGS panic! You have NOTHING left! Your "console" has NO FUTURE!

29 days until Judgment Day, NAzisoft!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

Even if it were to make its way too PS3 the game would be ruined because EA are absolutley awful. Also i would love to know how the person who came up with this story came to this conclusion because if MS are too announce ME2 it will be at E3.

But I much care if Halo Wars is pushed back :(

Doubled post for bad connection, sorry ...

It could happen that EA 'probably" want ME2 on the PS3. That's another reason to ea profit and more sales ("EA's PS3 Software Sales Up 192%") may signify something on this ian't?

Wow, it's pretty easy to make rumors...........nothin to it!

we dont need mass effect pls, keep that as 360 & pc thing ...games like bio or mass effect dont suit the ps3

seriously you guys can keep mass effail, mass effect was one of the most terrible games i have ever played, its made up of 80% cutscenes, interactive or not it was BORING. seriously such a boring game how can anyone stand to play that piece of tripe. i dont want to mass effail 2 thank you very much, let the xbots keep it

...If this rumor is true, then I have this to say.
...
...
...
...
...
360-LAG BEHIND.

who cares if mass effect goes multiplatform...and i can't wait to play MGS4 on x360 at the end of the year...

LOL the 360 loses yet ANOTHER exclusive title. First Bioshock, now Mass Effect...LOL...there truly is NO reason at all to own a GIMPBOX220!

cause some of you are going spaztic over an article that shows per speculation with out a source of information......so until bioware confirms this is all just BS....

It would be good if it came over to the PS3 but I still wouldn't buy it, or I might try it later when the price goes down from $60.

woow! it really feels good!
Pay back, revenge, or whatever you want to call, it is just amazing!!

I remember last year being in the shoes of the xbots today. I almost feel bad :p

Sucks for Xbox owners big time.
We Sony soldiers had our unfair time of waiting and having our games delayed but now our burden is becoming your burden as well.
Mass Effect 2 is multi-platform that's a good thing I'll play the 1st on the PC and transport to the second on my PS3.
Besides had a good reason for delaying their games found ways to make it better.
Sony was fighting 3 fronts in this console war.
2006: The start of Blu-ray and getting the format noticed.
2007: Method to rise PSP Sales and make things more compatible between Sony products and the start of some AAA PS3 Titles.
2008 & B3YOND!: It's all about the games and the new technology.
Things just turned around from the Xbox's favor to the PS3's favor.
PSP number 1 in Japan and Europe.
PS3 is on the rise and the games show for itself.
PS2 is still fire selling great games and is the last console of the last gen console race.
Blu-ray won the format war!
Sony is leading in the new next gen HDTV's w/ OLED.
At this point nothing can stop Sony now once Microsoft blew all it's fire in 2007 it was all over.
Microsoft= short term
Sony= The future and it's long term.

These guys are a joke, right? A year without a Halo game? Are they aware that all 3 Halos were 3 years apart? What I find humorous, though, is this:

"What is even more interesting is that Microsoft not mentioning Mass Effect 2 at all this year confirms what many Xbox fans have feared"

Since when did silence confirm anything? And hey, if PS3 gets ME2, great. I know people with PS3s -- my brother included -- and we never engage in Xbox vs. PlayStation BS. I'm a gamer (not to be confused with fanboy) and it's all about great games and good times with your friends.

To think that MS would let Mass Effect 2 go multiplat is hilarious. Do you know the amount of money they'd cough up to keep it on 360? By the way, for all you PS3 fanboys who wouldn't touch a 360 because you're just anti-MS for no reason, get yourself a 360 and play Mass Effect. That said, these posts need to stop being approved.

Meh, this article was a waste of space & time.

PLAYBehind

HA HA HA HA!

wow, that is one heap of far fetched baseless rumors.
Based upon MS NOT talking about the games at a random event.

Stunning ...

Though the delay for Halo Wars might be possible, as delays are very common in the games industry. But a franchise that has exclusive contracts with MS switching ? I don't think so.

I wish it is true that Mass Effect will go multiplatform but it probably wont

look at the bots getting defensive

This site sucks balls. The user and story have both been reported because it's not tagged in the headline as a rumor, and the lazy ass MODs don't do anything.
