There's going to be a mass effect on every console, that's the EA way.

Who cares, as long as the quality of the game doesn't suffer.

"Mass Effect is... certainly Microsoft has added a ton of value to that product, and it's an Xbox 360 exclusive, and we really hand-crafted it, really carefully, to make sure that it's taking full advantage of the platform, and the fans are going to get a great game out of it." - Greg Zeschuk

End of story for Mass Effect. ME 2 and 3 I guess we will see in 2009 or something..

ps3 couldn't run it.

its not like the PS3 version is going to better then the 360 version.

It doesn't really matter. Everyone has made up their mind if they are going to get it or not.

And if it does happen to go multi, everyone knows which system they are going to get it for.

Does this make it any less than a possible great game. No.

that will have me buying a 360.

Im waiting till Jan to make up my mind if i really want to spend 450 on the Elite for just one game. By then im hoping for a price drop on the Elite to around 350. If it comes to the PS3 it would save me some big money!

"The first Mass Effect appears to be remaining an Xbox 360 exclusive for now, but if Microsoft had the rest of the franchise locked down, wouldn't they be bragging about it? You'd think so, anyway."

"What could be on the table is a deal not unlike the one EA brokered with Valve over The Orange Box. Valve's co-founder and Managing Director Gabe Newell is not a fan of PlayStation 3, continuing to dismiss the hardware even as he's about to release one of his own products on it -- sort of, at least. Valve developed the Xbox 360 and PC versions of The Orange Box internally, allowing their publisher, EA, to produce a PS3 version through its London offices."

like i've said again and again regarding this issue there would be no point discussing whether or not ME2 and ME3 were multiplat unless there was uncertainty about the first game. This is me assuming that EA dont hire a team to make some kind of variation of the first game that's on the ps3 and outside of MS' Publishing deal.

To be honest i think EA will try and buy publishing rights off of microsoft, or they might have already.

Hell 1up were smart enough to right ME is a "360 exclusive for now".
and Greg zheusk and bioware have said in other interviews, "we cannot predict the future"

nothing is set in stone right now, but i can't see EA dodging the opportunity to get ps3 gamers into the ME experience.

It'd be a good investment for them going further and buy publishing rights off of microsoft for me1. Start ps3 users with ME1 in 08 maybe, and then carry on making money off them with the sequels. . If you had spent that much money on bioware and pandemic wouldnt you wanna make as much money off them through exploiting different userbases? By mid 08 the ps3's userbase will most definitely justify what i'm guessing EA will do.

my 2 cents

...this will probably sound very nooby, but I have to ask... When it says Mass Effect IP, what does IP stand for? Can't figure it out...

cheers

PS3 cant run mass effect because is make for xbox 360 hardware with Unifd shards.

killzone 2 make for ps3 hardware and Mass effect make for xbox 360 hardware.

this game doesnt interest me.

Of course Bioware would say otherwise. They want to sell the game RIGHT NOW. When it stops selling on 360, they can announce the PS3 version.

Their highest rated, best remembered, socially loved franchise... and they have small team working on it for the past 2- 3 years?

Absolute garbage company along side all the heads that made Andromeda.

Maybe Saudi Arabia make something out of this.

overall if they could get CDPR and quadratic dream to help them make the game that would give me hope for the game

Still riding off the coat tails of the original staff from Bioware that have long since moved on.
