They didn't waste time on this did they, I'm guessing they'll have recycled things, or have a MUCH bigger dev team since making the second game o.O


Mass Effect 2 was originally meant to be out in Q4 2010 but was pushed back because EA didn't want to release 2 Bioware games at the same time I think. So all the games have pretty much had a 2 year dev time

Expected - but I guess nice to have confirmed.  Just waiting for Valve to drop that in addition to Portal 2 other Source titles will be coming to PS3, too.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

You don't want to imply that L4D comes over to PS3, do you?! :D



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

semi feel sorry for square enix here mass effect gets announced for multi plat everyones over the moon ff 13 gets announced multi plat the internet falls over versus get a couple of hints of multi plat people start boycotting the game there pressured way more than any other 3rd party comapany for exclusivity


Theres no reason to feel sorry for Square Enix. Sony fanboys wanted FF13 to stay PS3 exclusive to get the maximum output from the installment. Square Enix made promises and did not follow through in quality nor expectation. Versus is probably the last hope this gen of getting a true FF playstation exclusive that will take full advantage of the PS3's power. i can see their issue, but they needed to calm down and thankfully they did. Mass Effect is a different story. It was a 360/PC exclusive which means anyone with a PC and no 360 could get their hands on it. Microsoft kills everything for themselves because when they have a hit they barely keep it to themselves. They have one or two hits that has the combined sales of two to three major titles, but then you've got Sony selling a laundry list of titles that sell millions steadily it hurts. Adding Mass Effect to their fleet of 2011 games is going to be horrible for the 360 next year even though they already have the game and it sold more. Mass Effect has business savy, but have no gamimg savy. If they showed an ounce of it from the beginning, they surely lost it.

Well, Valve did say back in September that 3 big surprises were coming...

Also, I'll be amazed, looking at how they work, if once Source is fully running on PS3 (which it will be for Portal 2 of course) they don't push L4D, etc. to PS3, too.

Seriously, if PS3 owners don't buy ME2, they don't even deserve ME3 simultaneous or at all.  That's not a fanboy thing, its a "THIS SHOULD BE A TOP 5 ALL TIME SALES PS3 GAME" thing.  

Oh, if you couldn't tell, I'm a fan of the series ...


1.5 M is reasonable sales for a PS3 port. Those are the sales I expect.

Not enough, but I don't even think that will happen.  RE4 proved that a port doesn't need to sell low numbers if its a great game.

Anyway, for the record, I'm not happy with the 360 sales numbers either ...

Thats cool even though I prefer my ps3 I still will go with the 360 version so it remembers my actions from the first two games.


I will do the same. It will just feel different if I ever play it on PS3 just like when I played it on my gaming PC...

The feelings is similar to watching Avatar 3d on theater then watching it on 60" tv blu ray.

Is Mass Effect 2 releasing budget price on PS3?   Bioshock did after its late port and I will not buy it if it is a full priced game, will wait for bargain bin instead.


I think it's supposed to include all of the DLC released up to now, so it'll be MORE than worth full price.

I might have gone a bit over board with the number, that is actually the cap I am expecting. Anything below that is healthy from .7M to 1.5 M. That bit in itself would be a huge boost for the series.

i dont think you understand what i mean. basically if i was square enix and i would be pissed of. they would see this and thiink everyone is pressuring us to limit our game to a smaller userbase but theres no pressure on other comapnies to limit there seling userbase

 

and I think they defineltly delivered on quality the game was the best this gen and the cutscene graphics are unbeaten
