Gamer.Blorge: "One of the longest running rumors on the Internet (besides Metal Gear Solid 4 on Xbox 360) is the Mass Effect trilogy on PS3. The rumor all started after EA swooped down and picked up Bioware, the acclaimed studio responsible for the excellent game. However, with the economic situation, Mass Effect going to PS3 may be more of a necessity than a choice.
Mass Effect is one of my all time favorite games out there. I even have my character built up to use on Mass Effect 2. The game was so addictive I suffered from withdrawal symptoms while my Xbox 360 was out getting repaired last Christmas. The game had great gameplay mechanics with the turn-based battle system in place.
The rumor recently resurfaced briefly when EA execs indicated that Mass Effect 2 would be released multiplatform. The word "multiplatform" could mean many things; it could mean PS3/X360/PC or just Xbox 360/PC. The rumor was spurred even further when Edge reached out to EA and was told that they could not go into further details of what was meant by "multiplatform." It is a bit odd as to why EA would go to such lengths to hide the intended platforms."
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
well with EA posting huge losses im sure they are looking to earn more revenue so ME will eventually make it's way to the PS3....
and with the PS3 being there bringing the biggest revenue for EA....it's looking like..it will happen...hopefully ne ways..XD
They should of announce it for the PS3 and get it over with instead of stalling time..
What do Microsoft have this year? looks like they dont have no exclusive games..
I said it months ago and I'll say it again. I'm sure EA has their hand out to MS asking for a check. If the check is big enough (and it will have to be big), ME2 will be a timed exclusive for the 360. If not then I would expect it to come out on PS3 at or around the same time. And MS will just write a much smaller check for some exclusive dlc like all the other recent games. That's why EA won't confirm or deny. They are probably still in talks with MS.
Holly sh*t people are still talking about this?
EA said multi platform! backing up what Bioware had said long time ago and that was: they are making the 360 version and were probably going to have the PC version release later on. Now EA has just confirmed that it will be multi platform like the first one.
Hot dam.
This is what EA was updating the other day when they spoke about multi platform the other day at some event:
"I believe we'll be Xbox 360 exclusive for at least a short period of time," Atwood told CVG. "We've got a really great PC fan base, we think it's really important to deliver the PC experience as quickly as possible"

EA announced multi platform the other day confirming what Bioware's plans were in the quoted announcement I posted above.
Jesus Christ.
Even if it is coming out for PS3 I wouldn't buy it. I had it on 360 and it just got boring to me. besides having very few exclusive games I'm interested in on 360 makes me feel like I wasted my money buying an xbox360. now most of the games are coming out for both systems and If I really had to choose one system it would be my PS3. that's just me personally I just feel I get more from it than my 360.
EDIT: So going on phantom disagrees someone who has been stalking me clearly knows I like my xbox360 better? :P
