Jade Empire 2 in development, PS3 version a possibility?
The move by Electronic Arts taking ownership of Bioware has prompted much speculation including the possibility of the Mass Effect trilogy making a way to the PlayStation 3. Beyond that, however, what about other Bioware projects?
If there is ever a title from Bioware that could be considered underrated, it is that of Jade Empire. Released in 2005, it was Bioware’s first project after Knights of the Old Republic, which took place in an ancient Chinese setting. Surrounded by speculation for years, Jade Empire 2 seems to now be in development from Bioware, that is, according to Dean Takahashi of the San Jose-based Mercury News.
In his blog, Takahashi claimed that he spoke to someone whom saw code for Jade Empire 2 for the Xbox 360. While this is remained unconfirmed by Bioware themselves, it must be noted that the company has given hit to the sequel since 2005.
The reason why you as a PS3 owner should care about this, is due to the fact that EA as a company has always remained adamant on releasing many of their games as multiplatform titles. So while the original JE might have been an Xbox exclusive, there is a very high possibility that a Jade Empire 2 would end up being on the PS3 either at launch, or a few months after the Xbox 360 launch with a few exclusive features to compensate for the wait.
If anything more breaks on this, please be ensured that PSU will be there to fill you in.
==> it fit well with the thread
but I agree, this is only speculation.
Time to Work !
