First off it's called 'Agent' not 'The Agent'

Sony most porbably signed a contract with Rockstar with regards to Agent. You know, contracts that Microsoft do a lot of. Except Sony's contracts aren't for time exclusives.

Since we're talking about 'inside sources' knowing some top secret news, I wonder long it'll take for Splinter Cell Conviction and Mass Effect to come to the PS3? Some 'inside sources' have given indication that they're coming to PS3...

And Selnor you knew how this thread would turn out with pretty much everyone saying no's.


@ bolded

Im wondering about that too, its sure to happen just like every timed exlcusive by MS.


Splinter Cell is definately a possibility. 

The first Mass Effect is owned by M$. Unless they made a deal to have number 2 and 3 exclusive till they are all out and sold the first rights to EA for that. I dont know. 

It's all specualtion anyway without any statements.

I agree, as of right now, Agent is exclusive. One magazines source isnt enough to go off. But it's intriguing to say the least.

Just the statement regarding the Mass Effect series, is that a proven fact? Because many people including me are still kinda unsure whether Mass Effect 1 is owned by MS. Yeh MS publsihed ME1 but doesn't BioWare still own the IP? I ask because you see M$ publishes the Gears of War series but Epic owns the IP, therefore M$ technically doesn't 'own' GeoW. But with Epic's case, they definitely won't be making Gears multiplat whereas BioWare is in a different case where there might be a possibility of Mass Effect going multiplat and hence rumors and speculations.


M$ sont own the IP, they own the publishing rights. Hence why ME2 could appear on PS3 no probs. M$ dont own the characters etc etc, like they own Halo. They own the publishing rights to ME1. Unless they made a deal with EA to at least get ME2 and 3 on 360 first? 

Hunting on the net, it looks as though M$ made a deal for the rights to publish 2 games back when Gears 1 was being made. If M$ publish Gears 3, then Gears will never appear on any other system. M$ currently hold the pub rights to Gears 1 and 2. But as with Pub rights, there is usually some time limit, and either M$ will pay to keep rights or let it go.
