PS3 Mass Effect 2 uses Mass Effect 3 engine, says dev

The PlayStation 3 version of sprawling space epic Mass Effect 2 utilizes the same brand-spanking new game engine as next year’s hotly anticipated third instalment, developer BioWare has revealed.

News dropped during the latest episode of the firm’s Blog Podcast, after Mass Effect 2 producer Jesse Houston was asked to divulge what made the PS3 version of the sci-fi sequel so special.

“We've actually created the engine for Mass Effect 3 and use that to make Mass Effect 2 PS3,” revealed Houston.

"So we took the content and the story and all the other assets that made up Mass Effect 2 and we put them in the Mass Effect 3 engine. And that's what we are actually delivering."

Houston also highlighted the importance of Sony’s black behemoth to the trilogy, backed-up by the recent confirmation that Mass Effect 3 will hit PS3 on the same day as its PC and Xbox 360 counterparts in late 2011.

Mass Effect 2 is due out on PS3 in January 2011.

Yesterdays game, with tomorrows graphics TODAY!

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
