I can feel it coming....here it goes.... "FANBOY KOMBAT!!!"

purely because PS3 owners will never be able to play part 1 of the trilogy now a new KOTOR game may go multi even if it's an MMO and I think dragon age will too.

hopefully if it ever happened we could get it minus all the bugs and glitches.....

but ill believe it when i see it.

You guys are too quick for me... I started typing my previous comment when this first came up, and 5-6 of you beat me to it!

i wouldnt even care if it came out on the PS3, not my kinda game

I thought MS had publishing rights? If not that it will definately go multiplatform - thats E.A's business!
I really enjoyed it on 360, so I hope its goes multi so more people can enjoy a good game!

Just because Bioware got bought by EA doesn't mean they're going to start milking their franchises. Anyways, with the much needed patch work, planned episodic content, and 2 sequels planned to come out before the end of the 360's life cycle just doesn't leave room for a PS3 port. Unless they pull a Orange Box and give it to someone else to port.

Well Pachter has been wrong about more things lately.

Second, I just read a few days ago MS would have the publishing rights of the complete trilogy, no matter if EA took over Bioware. I think behind the scenes if it wasn't secured in first place, they'll have by now.

Gears of War, Mass Effect, Bioshock, that games were among the most anticipated of last year and all secured if you ask me including sequels.

i hate shooting games

This is great news indeed, I have Mass Effect and i've been playing it for awhile along with Uncharted, i hope they fix some of the issues when they release it to the PS3. Bring the trilogy EA to the PS3 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And all of your sins will be forgiven

What if they want EA to buy back the publishing rights so they can make the game multi-platform?

Forgive me if I'm wrong but if i was Bioware and had money problems to the extent that i let EA buy my studio , then i would like to use this opportunity and make it multi-platform and recoup my losses?

I hate squad based... But if i would get it, it would probably be on the 360. If it comes to ps3 it would probably be a bad port...

Keep your buggy, glitchy, unpolished RPG. We'll take Final Fantasy XIII instead thank you very much!

I'll wait 'till it'll get ported to the ps3. Lots of MS games turn out to get ported. With more content and better graphics.

either that beacuase im %100 sure its coming to PC anyways like all good genratic shooters on the xbug 360.

this is why the xbug 360 fails at gaming nothing really exclusive.

Okay, Keep waiting

That would be nice. The extra development time could be used to smoothen the framerate and other stuff. Won't believe it till I see it, though.

Speaking as a 360 owner, i say: "Give all the 360 exclusives to the PS3". If Sonyboys get happy with it, let them. Nobody pays me for defending the 360 and/or its games. I could care less.

Btw, if we are talking about consoles and their games, it means, the PC is not involved in any way. So please, buy it for the PC then and shut it. Thanks

I hope... Shouldn't be hard to port either, with the help of Epic.

##MICROSOFT IS THE SOLE EXCLUSIVE PUBLISHER FOR MASS EFFECT 1##

So unless MS is feeling generous they will not publish it on PS3

How freaking hard is that to undetrstand? EA buying bioware makes no difference to this.. future titles maybve who cares but not the first game unless MS stop making games for 360

ps3 doesn't need ME

there are much better game for the ps3 out there.

ME is a nice game - don't get me wrong. but it's a typical 360 game.

i own a ps3 for other games.

do people realize that he also said MGS4 was a 6 month exclusive? why dont you post that?

no thanks i dont want Mass effect.

Beacuase they got terrible taste in games hahahahahaha...

PS3 has way to many good games to be thinking about trash games like that.

Eh... Wasn't MS publisher of Mass Effect and doesn't publisher hold the rights to property not the dev?

1st this game is lame and you people were coming up with silly names like @ss Effect. Now you all just want the 360 to lose an exclusive. If I was Michael I would post a video of myself LMAO at you people.

MAss Effect was one of the best games I have ever played in my 21 years of gaming. Nothing can take that away not even a port of the game to the PS3.

I'm not sure if it will goto ps3, but if it does, you can bet your life it'll run better then the bugfest, slowdown crap that it has now. And yes i've tried the game. Shocking slowdown during battles.

Once the ps3 starts firing up those spu's, You've goto say goodbye 360, and hello ps3.

When I post a story similar yesterday and it gets denied. Not sure how that happens.

i wont be buying a 360

This game was the only reason i was getting a 360. I wasnt getting it until a price drop and if ME is coming to a PS3 i will just wait for Gears of War 2

Shaka you stupid fan boy if the PS3 has so many good games then why are you spending time here bashing the 360 ? Idiot

Isn't Mass Effect published by M$ studios? So the only way Mass Effect could end up on a PS3 is if M$ somewhat "allows" it?

Yes, Mass Effect 2 could end up on a PS3 but we also don't know what sort of ownership that M$ has over the Mass Effect "property".

IMO, PS3 owners shouldn't worry about it. Nobody seems to be able to port over to the PS3 correctly anyway. The blatent graphical glitches that appear on the 360 version would only be worse on a PS3 IMO.

Especially if EA is involved. They can't seem to grasp the PS3 at all.

Also Ravenator Bioware has said they want to keep this as a 360 exclusive. If EA tries to make this multiplatform I wonder if we will end up hearing about in the future Bioware VS Ea. Sort of like how we are hearing about Activision VS MTV VS Sony over Guitar Hero & Rock Band. Let the fights begin against developers.

Oh SAY IT AINT SO BABOONS, just SAY IT AINT SO.......AHAHAHHAHHAHHHAA

Mass effect running the way it was meant to run, SMOOOOOTH on the PS3.

AAAAHHAHHAHHAHAHHHAHHAHAHHA

M$ just keeps on $HAFTING you BAOONS huh....Look at it this way BABOONS, at least you MONKEYS still have Master QUEEF....AHAAHAHAH

all i can say about this being a ps3 owner is i hope it does,
it looks a great game that i know i would enjoy from a very respected developer so i live in hope.
I cannot justify owning more than one current gen console so atm my console of choice is a ps3 so in that respect fingers crossed Mass effect comes to the ps3

Well for one guys and gals Mass Effect is a great game and should never be called A$$ Effect. Secondly if they do bring it over to PS3 cool beans just fix the problems in the 360 version. Heck I'd buy it again just for that.

i don't think it will come to the ps3 ... and it doesn't have to.

ME1 is 360 exclusive period. MS has their name on that game, but about the sequels, in the bonus disc the developers that all your saves and what you do from the 1st game have an affect on the 2nd games story, characters and such because its a continuation/sequel. how the hell will that work out on the ps3?

I wouldn't mind playing it on the PS3. Since the PS3 is selling pretty good now I don't see why they should hold it back.

there will be an article on here later that will say Mass Effect not going to PS3

If I as a ps3 owner want to play mass effect ill get myself a 360 period.

I only wish people showed this much enthusiasm
arguing about things relevant. Like, maybe
current events in the news. Or how bout
the presidential elections. Seriously, is it
that much of a hit to your pride to see Mass Effect
go to PS3. I am a PS3 owner, but from the other point
of view, I wouldn't care if MGS4 went to 360.
The more people that enjoy a good game, the better.
Imagine how stupid it would be if you saw a good movie
but a friend could not see it. And then you rub their face in
it. Sound familiar? I think people don't really hate
console exclusive games they can't play, they are just jealous.

IF this game is coming to the PS3 or not makes zero difference. By the time the jump is made in mid or late 2008 I'm pretty sure nobody will care. There will be bigger fish to fry by then.

I think all games should be multiplatform..

No way im gonna hold my breath for this. Il believe it when I see it

Publisher Microsoft Game Studios

Yep MGS published the title meaning they own the rights to the title on the console and as yet haven't sold those rights...Bioware and EA will have to publish the game beyond and on different circumstances then the original release something that will still cause lots of problems when it comes to all ready established publishing rights which microsoft holds on the first game.

AS FAR AS I REMEMBER U WERE ALWAYS RAISING THE POINT THE KONAMI EA ARE COMPANIES WHO WANNA MAX THEIR PROFITS BUT WHEN THERE IS THE SAME REASON FOR MASS EFFECT U R LIKE NAH THEY CAN'T GO MULTI LOLZ GEOW UP AND WHERE IS ZHUK THE FHUK.

......Nuff sed

Yes Mass Effect belongs to EA now, but M$ is supposedly going to publish all three parts of the trilogy. It's one of those things that essentially could happen, but there's no guarantee it will.
My prediction: PS3 will get Mass Effect, but not until the 360 got Mass Effect 2. In this case M$ would have little to worry about since people who already bought Mass Effect on 360 will continue to buy the 360 versions to keep using their original character.
Having said that EA would be foolish not to let such a big game enjoy as large an audience as possible.

ps3 owners are picky and am one of them , yes I am a fanboy . anything that shows on the xbot i wont buy even if its the greatest game in the world . heck i missed out on AC ...but I have heavenly sword , uncharted , ratchet , warhawk . eye , mlb the show , nba 08 , high velocity bowling , motorstorm to keep me happy ... singstar and mgs4 is on my waiting list ....again i apologized if i offended some of xbot friends .. there games just doesnt do it for me ...

Dark Sniper has been stating all along that Mass Effect will be seeing birth on the PLAYSTATION 3. Microsoft simply do not have the tools to bring Mass Effect in the fashion Bioware wanted to.

Only with the PLAYSTATION 3, Mass Effect will iron out all bugs and jaggies that were present in the XBOX 360.

$niper

Chances ME2 will be on ps3? 100%. its EA!
Chances EA will screw bioware with the sequel? 100%

ive never found Mass effect interesting, but it would be great if it came to the ps3.

I don't know about this guy he seems to be able to read into the future or something. I doubt it'll come to the PS3 but Bioware did say it was originally plannned to come to the PS3 along with the 360 in Insomniacs podcast but they didn't have dev kits in time when they started making the game. But i do know Bioware will probably release games for the PS3 because in Gameinformers interview they said yes to wanting to work on it.

MS won't let the game go

Your starting to sound like Zhuk junior...

Elevator Action HD...lol

They solved the problems and made the game perfect on the ps3. Or pc for that matter. Anyone know anything about a patch for the xbox version?

All contracts have termination clauses for licensing upon acquisition or divestiture of a company. Every license must be renegotiated for either repurchase or transfer.

It is part of the TERM and TERMINATION portion of any license agreement.

Unless you work in the law department of either company, we really do not know what can/will happen. And if you did, you would be NDA on this subject.

Mass effect, bioshock, and alan wake are 3 titles I'd love to see on the ps3. Any one of them will be fine with me.

After playing Uncharted, it's really difficult to put up with a game like Masseffect. I mean I know the 360 needed some form of RPG ASAP, but c'mon guys, it's not even the same league! Did you play this game or watch someone play? No offense to Bioware but they're no Naughtydog and it shows. I've done public comparisons of the 2 games on a HD projector and not a single person has ever favored ME: UDF makes it look and feel like a pathetic amateur slide show and no dialog is gonna fix that.
BTW, even the most obnoxious 360 fans in my neighborhood admitted to this inconvenient truth.

Mass Eject: that's what Patcher needs.

how is it possible when Microsoft are the one that publish it?

Mass Effect is a good game, but i'd already bought it and played through it on 360, so I don't have any interest in a PS3 version.

To PS3 owners who haven't played this game, it's a great game, it'd be a shame to miss it, but don't lose any sleep if you do. I think the real important question is whether it'll come out at the same time as the major PS3 exclusives (Killzone 2, etc.) so even if it did come to PS3, I doubt it would sell that well at all.

Has Pachter ever been right about these things?

Do you ever get the feeling that he thinks if he keeps saying things, he'll eventually get a prediction right?

come to the PS3 than Mass Effect 1; the video reviews showcased a lot of things that ensure that I probably wouldn't enjoy it. Now Bioshock on the other hand...

for the ps3 or pc if all they cleaned up is the frame drops and load times.

Lol I have no idea. :) I'll give you a bubble too.

I hope this franchise comes to the PS3... Once my extended 3 year warranty runs out and my final 360 bricks I'm buying a PS3 instead anyway. Then I'll finish the trilogy on that hardware.

Seems like Bioshock and Mass Effect are like the MGS4 and FFXIII rumors.. They just won't die like they should..

This has already been pretty much debunked.. According to EGM when they spoke with representives from MS and EA/BioWare that the 3 games are exclusive to the 360 with part 2 and 3 being published by MS and EA/Bioware as the developers..

MGS4 has a better chance of coming to the 360 than this game to the PS3!! the 360 is where you go to SELL GAMES!! is it not a FACT that more games sell on the 360 than the PS3!!

1 last thing, if you sony boys dont wanna see mgs4 come to the 360, then you better make sure konami reach their 1 million copies sold FIRST DAY sales not 1 million overall,1 million first day!!. because if they dont that more than gives them enough reason to bring it to the 360. why loose 10 million dollars trying to be loyal!!

Man... no.

yeah its just like lost planets case capcom should of kept it on the SH^T BOX 3 SH^Ty but i heard the 2nd one was coming to ps3 exclusive because CAPCOM was making a new ip for the 360 only so they can keep their lost planets DMC and MASS EFFECTS - the one game im hoping for to be good is STREET FIGHTER 4 AND HOPEFULY THEY DONT F^CK IT UP

PS3 owners don't buy games, why would all these devs bust their butts to port games to the PS3 when no one will buy them?!

PS3 gamers must all be kiddies with a small budget (allowance) or just movie junkies.

I would'nt touch the PS3 even if it was free. These Sony fans seriously have to be the stupidest humans on the planet. Really! You are so annoying it is pathetic. I wouldnt be associated with you bunch of morons to save my life. Keep hoping that you will get these awesome games while we "xbots" are playing them now. Sorry about your luck and your waste of brain matter.

i enjoyed playing Mass Effect. It's a great game.

Microsoft owns the publishing rights. EA and Bioware are listed as the developers on the second AND third games. Who here thinks MS will publish a game on PS3? I love you people. I really do. You supply the best laughs. And Pachter just lost all credibility since the MS publishing deal was last week. Shouldnt and "insider" analyst know that? HAHAH

MS owns publishing rights to Mass Effect?

Yes that maybe sad but people have different preference . Sorry not a FPS guy thats why I dont have an xbot . The FPS makes my head hurts .( yes ) not a killzone guy either .. AC i might pick it up for 20 bucks later . I bought a ps3 for first party games..now you get it ......I dont have 2 or 3 hours to kill everyday so the games i mention above have me tied up until mgs4 comes out . ( only franchise i would buy ) .

example of Patcher talking out of his arse. I highly doubt that this game will make it way to the PS3. I think MS will wrap this up fairly quickly if the game exclusivity truely comes into question.

all bioware games end up on pc one way or another yet no one even cares or notices

It would be called Mass Defect.
I mean, who would trust EA to make xbox 360 to ps3 ports?

Ok on another level, I don't think MS would want this trilogy to slip from their hands. They might as well would be advertising the game on PS3 for Sony too. Out of the three: Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Bioshock, the latter has the greatest chance of a port, IMO.

So where was I? MASS DEFECT, anyone?

Yes! Yes!!!

And bioshock would come to PS3
And all ME games will also come to PS3
And the future Halo games will come to PS3
And MSG4 will come to xbox360
And Final Fantasy will also come to xbox360

you know i just dont se that happening .. keep on dreaming fanboys ..

MS Owns the publishing rights. Case Closed.

believe it when i see it...i know for sure MS does not want this title to go to the ps3

The Post and opinion in it was ridiculous enough but to say the first one is going to the PS3 tops it off.

We've already seen rumors claiming MSFT worked out a deal to publish the whole tril while EA and BioWare take the developer role.

Sorry but the foundation or tools and engines are designed for the 360. I mean who's got the time to fiddle with PS3 on the Bioware team? and EA can't even get average game ports right.

Its like PS3 fanboys are trying to win the war for Sony by mass missinformation spreading to the world no wonder the non english speaking countries see PS3 as king they don't know any better and no english speaking person/groups isn't going to take the time to shed light.

sorry dont need the game on the ps3. its way to overhyped and there are far better games on the ps3.

Dream on

Donty worry Microsoft will just call peter moore to keep it exclusive but it would be awesome to have on ps3!

The only thing which may make this a possibility is the fact that when EA brought Bioware they also brought out the rights to Mass Effect and being EA i can see a Ps3 port in the future

MS owns the rights to publish the next two games as well as exclusive rights to the first. Why are people still discussing this like there's any chance. Geeze. Face the facts that have been presented and stop discussing this FALSE rumor.

Here's what i dont understand. Why are you so desperate that the "other" console has all the bad games and just "your" console is king of the hill? Does it make any sense? So the other console might get Bioshock, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy or Metal Gear Solid? Why cranky? Be happy for them beeing able to play those great games. In the end both consoles are just metal, plastic and some computer chips. Its the games that count. And its the fun that counts. Do i have less fun if i have to wait seconds longer in the elevators? Do i have less fun if the occasional texture popups at the very beginning of fast viewport changes happen? Erm... No i dont.

So why do you?

Ugh. If it does happen, porting will probably be handled by EA UK or something like that because Bioware would probably be handling ME 2. And that means that the frame rate problems may end up twice as worse as the 360 version.

i highly doubt Bioware will port mass effect to the PS3 or MS will let that happen... as they say in that video, the fan base is on the 360 like with ratchet and clank, it's fanbase is on the PS3...maybe an internal studio of EA will port it, but i dont think the return would be good enough fro them, but ya never know... and micheal patcher is just an analyst...he guesses and can be wrong (most of the time)... kinda like how he said ea was gonna finish buying out ubisoft

Patcher should visit N4G for his predictions. We here know more about gaming industry than he can ever imagine. He talks B$ all the time hoping one day someone may listen to his ramblings and do something on it.

To the PS3 fans here saying 360 kep it it's crap i say play it Mass Effect is fantastic.
And before anyone attempts to call me xbot I am in fact one of the biggest Sony fans on this site. I'm just not a ret@rd

MS knows that this is one of their main franchise and will not let it go multi-plat. Same as Sony knows that they cannot afford MGS4 to go multi-plat.I say this is a good thing as these are console specific games taking advantage of specific advantages of the console.For me personally if i want to play mass effect i will buy a x360 for it.

Want you end all of these problems of fangirl, fanboys, xbots blah blah blah. Just make every single game multiplatform. I love PS3, I love good games, Gamers like good games, if a game is good on one system, let fans who dont own that system to have it. Im really tired of all this fanboyism, even though I have my bias that the xbox sucks (because mine broke down on me right in the middle grrrrrr dont wanna think about it) Thats it! But honestly, Why dont we just create an XPSWii system and have all the games available or we could be like those loser pc gamers who dont buy consoles and d/l everything lol. Enough already!

i'll be more than happy to play this title on either platform, but until then forget it.

Because IkBenCloud .. (Your citating EA's genius of a plan omfg)

There would be no competition, and thats a BAD thing.. what would the point be in making system updates, and lowering the price of the system all the time if they didnt have any competition.. then they would be like: "If you want a gaming console, heres your price 700$" (okay a little much :P) and you would have NOTHING 2 do about it .. today as it is.. alot op ppl thought the PS3 was 2 expensive so they bought a 360, or a wii.. and therefore Sony had to lower the price..

Its great as it is now.. they keep pushing each other to get great games on their system greater, and making updates .. JUST too tip the scale soo their system is the best..

And yes.. you might not get ALL the AAA titles out there .. but whatever .. either you accept that, and have fun on the 4-8 AAA titles you already have .. or you do as me LOL and buy both systems.. (xbox360 and PS3)

And btw .. Mass Effect was Great .. its not a GoTY .. but its still has a fantastic story and its also an suprisingly good shooter..
Ppl saying otherwise defenetly havent played trough it, or are just hardcore PS/NIN fanboys tbh , trying 2 flame cuz the have nothing better 2 do..

If my favorite video game can get introduced to a bigger audience, I'm all for this. Screw the console wars. Video game artistry for the win.

PS3 gamers must all be kiddies with a small budget (allowance) or just movie junkies.

Oh sleepbox please S.T.F.U .........this what our friend wrote on top . Again ( just wow ) I am not going to bash you , but please just read what you just wrote...peopel with small budget dont go out and puchase a ps3 with a big screen . Every kid i knew ( im 30 ) either has a xbot or a wii. Now if they had a ps3 there more excited. If my parents had no money when i was buying videogames i wouldnt mind buying an atari rather than a nintendo ...another dumbasses..

this is just stupid ,is almost as stupid as the final fantasy rumors or the uncharted rumors. And we (sony fanboys) dont need this laggy crapp game we already has a bunch of fantastic games and we dont neeed this crappy stupid game
P.S. i think it suxs cuase all the stupid xbot was saying it would chage gaming in all sence and it was a crappy bgame with bunch of glitches and with crappy grphx(heavenly sword a first gen ps3 title looks better )

id love it if it came over to the ps3 this is the only 360 game im even interested in and that has made me think ones or twice to get a 360 but nope aint gone do it lol gone borrow ma mates 360 and played it in his:D

the *HORRIBLE texture pop-in
*SEVERE framerate issues
and *RIDICULOUS loading every few seconds (call me spoiled by Uncharted, which has *NO loading outside of when you first boot up the game, or load a save)

then i'll probably give it a shot, if it comes to the PS3. i've played Mass Effect on my roommate's 360. great story and universe, but the technical issues really, *REALLY take me out of the game. and it's not just every once in a while (ie, in Unreal Tournament 3 on the PS3, textures pop in at the start of a level, in Mass Effect, textures pop in nearly *EVERY TIME there's a switch in camera angles, or if you go into the menus).

i also hope they get rid of that hazy, Silent Hill-esque filter they use in the game, it makes it look fuzzy, not realistic.

Mass Effect and Bioshock were two reasons why i wanted to pick up a 360, but two games aren't enough to warrant a system purchase (my current limit is 5 games), so if Mass Effect and Bioshock come to the PS3 (and there's always a possibility that they could, considering that Microsoft *DOESN'T own the IPs), it'll just be less reason to pick up a 360.

i'll probably pick up Eternal Sonata when it releases next year also.

even if Mass Effect and Bioshock *DON'T come to the PS3, i'll just have to dry my tears with Infamous, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2, White Knight Chronicles, LA Noire, Heavy Rain, FFXIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, etc. and top it off with some sweet multi-plat games like GTAIV, Devil May Cry 4 and Resident Evil 5. good times are ahead, for sure, regardless if Bioshock and Mass Effect are part of it.

Not gonna happen.Sorry but if you want to play Mass Effect buy a 360.

the PS3 is desperate for our 360 games

No way. I believe, from an EGM article I read on EA's acquisition of Bioware, that MS will publish 2 and 3 of the trilogy with EA/Bioware listed as the developers. And Ninja Gaiden Sigma was published by MGS in only America, I think. So, it doesn't really matter who publishes, its who owns the rights of distribution to the game.

Supposedly, MS is still publishing the next two titles. It was part of a deal reached with EA.

at different posts some x360 haters bash this game
at this post ps3 fanboys are noe eiother optomistic or in that hahaha mode
well anyway this game is fu*k*ing awesome if it comes to ps3 i am happy for u guys this game is great and this is coming from just a 360 owner i am on my third play through and this game is sweet i think everybody should be able to enjoy this game
i cant wait for pt2 and pt3
the story in this game is awesome

I really doubt that Mass Effect 3 will come to the ps3.

On PS3. i pick a all bionic.

+ the it would be less annoying graphically after it loaded on the HD.

Mass Effect to PS3 ? Bring It On ! :)

I'm more of an xbox guy but i'm all for mass effect on other systems. I loved it and I have no problem sharing the joy of a great game.

All the crying in the world won't stop a multiplat publisher from making a multiplat game.

Respected analysts opinion over crying fankids.

PS3 owners aren't missing anything if they don't get Mass Effect. That is one of the most frustrating, akward, boring games I have ever played. I never quit a game half way through, but I had to quit mass effect, I couldn't take it anymore. If this never comes to the PS3 then Sony fans should consider themselves lucky.

lmao. Pachter also said MGS4 would only be a six month exclusive on PS3 last week. dumbasses.

MS publishes Mass Effect. ME2 and 3 might find their way to the PS3 though, we'll have to wait and see. ME1 coming to the PS3 would be the equivalent of a Sony published 3rd party game like Drake's Fortune coming to the 360. It's not going to happen.
