So I'm the only one who cares more about the Battlefield Bad Company sequal?

Apparently. I don't know how you manage to do that though.

 

 

Because Mass Effect is overated, and Bad Company is one of the only FPS games to do something new with the FPS genre for ages, with its epic destruction bringing all sorts of new gameplay features.

 

Are you serious? The only thing half decent about bad company was SP, MP was terrible and mass effect is AMAZING

no doubt for ps3 and 360. but i think wii will be included also.

 

There is doubt for the PS3 version.  But it is apparently not out of the question.

 well after reading the article about EA and its job cuts, etc. i think not making it for ps3 and wii would be stupid. there can only be doubt if it comes out at launch, if it doesnt it will surely come out a few months later. but knowing that EA will screw over the ps3 version, im going to buy it for 360 regardless.

"Although we all knew a sequel to Mass Effect has been in the works since the first game was developed, today EA made official the release of the much-anticipated sequel.

During the company's Q3 2009 Earnings Conference Call, Electronic Arts Chief Executive John Riccitiello revealed that the company will be releasing BioWare's Mass Effect 2 as a multiplatform title in the company's Q4 2009, which translates to our calendar in early 2010.

Since the first game was powered by Unreal Engine 3, we assume the sequel will also make use of Epic Games' technology. That means that going multiplatform shouldn't be a big deal as the UE3 is already used to make PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games. "

Update


"EA PR is not confirming Mass Effect 2 for PS3, only for Xbox 360 and PC-- the original platforms of the first game."

 

 Linkage, Mr. 4life, linkage. Is it just the OPs site?

 

The link was there.. just had to point it out, is all.

To me, it seems likely that one is in the works for the PS3 because they did not flat out deny it.  It doesn't make sense otherwise.

theres more question towards a Wii version, but EA just said they are going to provide support for Wii. so i think it will come out for each console- but theres a strong possibility it could be timed exclusive for 360.

well.. it cost money to make games for more then one system, even ports cost much mula.. and right now after it's millions in loss and lay offs the last thing EA or any company wants to do at this point in time, is to spend more money.

I think to play it safe on a console the first version was on, it's not a bad idea to stay to the roots.

^^@sega

are you serious?it costs around $3 million to port a game for big companies (it's just programing cost)

if it sells 300K on Ps3(assuming that $30 of $60 is for EA)then they are already in profit for the port version.

Is Mass Effect the one with the woman that hadn't played the game complaining about something to do with lesbian aliens?

Yes, but wat else would we expect from Fox News?

Forget the multiplatform stuff. We finally have confirmation that it will release THIS YEAR!!! GOTY 2009 CONFIRMED!!!

Now if only we could get confirmation on Splinter Cell Conviction and Beyond Good and Evil II then 2009 could be the best. gaming year. ever.

You FAIL at reading comprehension, idiot!  Fiscal Q4 is Jan-Mar 2010.  And games that far off hardly ever hit their release window.  So quit getting excited about your little stupid video games and get a life.

 

 

Ok.  Now that I did it to myself, none of you have to.  Sorry.

 

For a second I thought I failed at reading comprehension. I was wondering why you quoted yourself, and then began to berate yourself. But by the end of it, I understood. I guess I need to slow down, and absorb everything,before I come to a conslusion.

And then everyone attacked her amazon book, right? If so, that was a funny thing to observe. If not.......then I'm..........drunk. Yes, that's it. Drunk.
