I don't give a rats behind about the 360.  Doesn't mean I'm going to start saying 360 games don't count and PS360 multiplats are PS3 exclusive.  Try a better argument next time.

So in your opinion, having a game on 1 console, and PC is no better than it being PS3/X360, or Wii/PS3/X360?

Maybe it's just me, but it would seem that if a game came out on a 2 different mediums, that cater to different audiences, that it might see a stronger benefit than catering to 1 type of audience.

If a game went to 1 console + 1 handheld (Animal Crossing), versus 2 consoles, or 3 consoles, I tend to think that it might benefit the 1 console + 1 handheld scenario better than 2 consoles, or 3 consoles, because the userbases aren't quite as similar as the console groupings would.

The PS360 and PC now cater to different audiences?  Up until this E3 when Microsoft decided they wanted to be the Wii the 360 has gone after NOTHING but the PC audience.  The audiences are very close, and PC360 multiplat is absolutely the same as a PS360 multiplat.  These aren't handhelds and consoles.  These are two platforms playing nearly the same game (albeit 90% of the time the game runs/looks/plays better on PC).



Does it matter what Bioware says on the issue. They aren't the publisher. EA is.

Although it would surprise me if EA let it stay exclusive, I'm just saying its up to the publisher not the developer. Unless that developer is someone really really important and has a lot of leadway... aka Kojima Studios.



Hopefully they fix the insane amount of problems from the first one to truly make a great game.

Yeah, as I said in my review there were a lot of major issues with Mass Effect... hopefully it's cleaned up a lot before ME2.

What commitment? Bioware is not launching any exclusive on X360:

Mass Effect 2 is coming to PC. Not exclusive.

Dragon Age: Origins is PC only. So yes, it's exclusive, but not on X360.

Kotor MMO is PC exclusive. And if EA is smart, it'll stay PC exclusive.

Putting modern MMOs on consoles isn't really an option.  A good modern MMO requires massive amounts of hard drive space and RAM, both of which the consoles are extremely short on.  Look at Age of Conan.  Requires 30GB HDD space and 3GB DDR to function properly.

I've been playing through it again and, ugh, I had actually forgotten how bad they are.  There's the LOD texture popping, funky shadows everywhere, characters getting stuck, characters randomly walking on top of things, terrible frame rate, bad lighting problems, and the list just goes on. 

I guess I can at least say I've never encountered a gamestopping bug.

When did they announce it for the PC?

 



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Dragon Age: Origins is PC only. So yes, it's exclusive, but not on X360. wrong

Kotor MMO is PC exclusive. And if EA is smart, it'll stay PC exclusive. You really can keep your KOTOR MMO. Epic fail for every true KOTOR fan.
