Forums - Sony - Mass Effect Trilogy Coming to PS3?(GDC Announcement)

keep in mind that this is just a rumor.

 

 

"

One of the biggest questions that came out of EA’s acquisition of Bioware in late 2007 was the exclusivity of the Mass Effect trilogy.  Would the games remain on the 360 and PC or would Sony get a piece of the pie as well?

A fairly reliable source close to Electronic Arts tells us that the sequel (and subsequent iterations) will be available to the PlayStation 3 as well as the Xbox 360 and PC.  According to our source, EA decided to make the series multiplatform mostly due to the “the economic outlook”.

Our source claims that because of the current state of the economy, Electronic Arts is looking to squeeze as much money from its portfolio of games as it possibly can.  Obviously, making Mass Effect 2 and 3 multiplatform would increase their sales, as the game would be available to more people.

But what about the PS3 owners who missed the first game?  Our source says it is “likely” EA will release a PlayStation 3 port of the original Mass Effect, debuting sometime in mid-2009.  Similar to Take-Two’s decision to make a Bioshock port on the PS3, this port would introduce PS3 owners to the series and give EA almost risk-free profit from its sales.

The official announcement will “take place at GDC” (which starts March 23), according to our source.  Of course, take this with a grain of salt till then."

 

 

I guess after the EA's financial result,  it should'nt surprise us if it does.

yeah EA is not doing well i could see it happening



Coulda sworn I read somewhere that Microsoft has a contract for the first two games...

Good for all involved if it hits the PS3, though.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I don't know what's going to happen but it would be a good news for PS3 owners (like the PS3 version of Bioshock). I played ME on the PC and it was awesome.



PS3 FANS JUST WANT TO STEAL XBOX EXCLUSIVES OMG!!!!!



Tease.

Interesting. Microsoft published the first ME. I can't wait to see the legal wrangling that will happen over that one.

If the first ME is coming to the PS3, that's news to me.

I have heard that for the gears of war series, not the Mass effect one. But you may be right of course



@squilliam^^^I m not intrested in Mass effect though,,,since it's a RPG game.

but it would be a good news for PS3 owners that like RPG games.



 

 

 

I guess it would be good for ps3 owners if its true.

EA owns the Mass Effect IP so there would be no legal problems
