Forums - Sony - According to Microsoft Mass Effect 1 will stay 360 exclusive

The question that needs to be asked is what is going to happen with Mass Effect 3 because Bioware said decisions for Mass Effect 1 will have some kind effect on 3.

That wraps that one up.

I wonder if Bioware will add something into Mass Effect 2 PS3 though...

Like when you're on the operating board. You have flashbacks on the table... A few hours worth of them. Being able to play through the major story parts of the Original.

They have to do something...

i've been thinking about this, because i'm guessing Bioware and EA really do want to bring ME1 to the PS3 along with ME2. and the only way they could do it (i think) is if Bioware changed parts of ME1, like giving us a remastered edtion, with new content and changed the name to ME: Remastered or ME: Special Edtion etc (something like that) so it cant be classfied as the same game released on the 360.

because ME is bioware's IP, therefore they have creative freedom over it. Microsoft only has distribution rights on ME1, but if ME1 was changed to an extent that it no longer qualifies as the same game released for the 360, voila, this 'new remastered' edtion can be released on the PS3. although i dont see it happening, it would be great if it did!!

You mean like Ninja Gaiden/ Ninja Gaiden Sigma.

I don't think they want to go through the trouble of redoing the Original.

If they really did want to, then I think they would have just straight up done a Boxset of both games. I think that Mass Effect 2 PS3's extra content will simply be a recap of the Original in the way of flashbacks. Along with whatever DLC has been released for PC/360 leading up to that point.

That's one of the reasons why I feel they will add in a big "Recap" flashback thing.

Mass Effect is a story driven series with choices spanning all the way back to the first game. To completely abandon the choices is IMO dumb, and very uncharacteristic of BioWare.  



                            

Mass effect is on PC = Mass effect is NOT XBOX 360 EXCLUSIVE. Deal with it !!



ea/bioware are a bunch of punks for backstabbing m$ and hope m$ remembers this day just in case ea/bioware ever needs them in the future.

I prefer to play games on my 360 however you gotta look at this from their side. They really don't have any loyalty to either system (even though PS3 is favored be EA). It's all about money and Bioware wants big money for the next Mass Effect and the best way to do it is from multiplatform.

eh you can't blame them for wanting to make money though, ME2 didn't sell exactly spectacular though neither will this, just look what happened to Bioshock on the PS3.

MS is just dumb for not buying Bioware when they had the chance, thats the thing that will eventually come back to bite them in the ass is not buying any first party studios, to this day I still don't understand it.  



remember Ninja Giaden....

They will do a extended summary or something on the ps3 version with added content, either way it's win for ps3 owners

Not only do they get to play the highest rater exclusive game 360 'had' but also they now will be getting the 3rd ME as well...

good day to be a ps3 owner


And 360 owners would have played the game a year ago by the time this has even come out for the PS3

Listen its awesome for PS3 owners and I'm glad the series will get more exposure but stop trying to sound all snarky.
