Forums - Sony - BioWare issues ‘no comment’ on Mass Effect 2 PS3 listings.

I don't doubt that it's coming, but I'm like 80% sure that it will be a timed exclusive. There is no way that Microsoft would let this game release the same day as the 360 version. I couldn't care less though, never was interested in the series.

I hope it comes to all platforms. That way, we can pick the best version, plus more people get to play it.

You feel that Mass Effect would benefit from Wii waggle?

I hope it's not true....Im sorry but I think Exclusives should stay exclusives. Giving each console their own identity.....PS3-only owners if you want to play Mass Effect 1/2 go buy a 360

mass efect 2 is not an exclusive to 360.

If I can't play it on my Wii or PS3 it's exclusive to the 360. So it's on PC woop de doo, it's a Microsoft Exclusive, happy?

Since when did microsoft make money on pc hardware? Don't be silly. Mass Effect is not a 360 exclusive. That's just the way it is. The PC is a gaming platform. 

Not only that, the PC version is superior. and you can play it with the controller, if you wish.

your xbox is just an out dated PC in a box with a controller attached to it. You really need to stop thinking about PCs as NOT gaming platforms.

The term video game console is only used to describe a device which is used soley for playing videogames.

Which, if you have any sort of brain, will lead you to understand that the PS3 and the XBOX 360 are no longer video game consoles, but Computer Entertainment systems. (Sony's has been one since the PS1.)

The second your platform can be used to do anything other than gaming, it, by definition, is no longer a video game console, but a personal computer that is PREFERED to play games.

Case in point, if its on the PC, it's not exclusive. It can be purchased on a platform that consists of hardware sold by ATI, nVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Asus among many others.

 

THEY make money if you buy the hardware for pc gaming, not microsoft.

Yes, but the PC has no first party developers, so they only get the AAA exclusive games from Blizzard, and even then, only two or so a generation. That is, of course, besides the myrid of MMOs, shovelware, and RTS games.

Just this month, consoles in total have racked up about 5 AAA exclusive titles, and the biggest games the PC has to look forward to this Xmas aren't exclusive?

It seems to me that most of the big budget genre defining games this generation are console exclusive. It's not like you're gonna be seeing any more exclusives in the future. In fact, as soon as consoles fully support mouse + keyboard, next gen, Blizzard will probably expand to consoles(they already tried with WoW on the 360, but it didn't happen). Then, there will be no PC exclusive games that are of consequence, besides the ones that are forced to be there, like redundant RTS games.

So, while the platform may currently have better control and graphics, it won't for long, and it certainly is starting to lag behind on overall current gen AAA content, and exclusive content, well it lost that battle this generation, and for the foreseeable future. Even Crytek found it unsustainable.

As for MS, if you want to use the latest DX drivers, or download Xpacks for Fallout 3, you'll need windows, for games for windows. MS DOES make money off PC gaming, as long as you aren't pirating. You should accept that. The reason MS even created the 360, was to draw people away from Playstation, and towards PC/360 gaming content.

All that said, admittedly, I didn't read most of your post. I recognized it early on.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

They simply don't want to comment on 'this particular rumor' because it will set a precedent for comments on EVERY rumor. It means only a 'no comment' from them as they can't be bothered putting an official response.

As said in the other thread, I very much doubt this game will come on the PS3. At least, not anytime soon... MS exclusivity deal will have to expire first...



I am a Gamer... I play games and not consoles. I have a PC and Console on which I game... I like games. End of Story!

If Wii gamers get to play it, then yes.

incorrect. PC is a gaming platform separate from the xbox 360. Just because the xbox360 borrows tech from the pc does not make it so.

Microsoft does not sell the operating system for gaming, they sell it for operating. You are incorrect and your logic is flawed. Just because the PC doesn't have first party developers means jack shit all.

Any game, that appears on the PC, is not an exclusive. it can be obtained outside the console and played outside the console.

end of story.

And if it is another Dead Rising, then how is that a good thing?

It means that good exclusives are few and far between, unlike consoles, and it also means that every game you can play on PC, you can also play on a console. Content, being king, is what pushes gaming. I was pointing out the lack of exclusive content on PC, and what that would mean for any other platform.

As for whatever the hell else you're talking about, I can't really make sense of it. I obviously know that games released on PC are not exclusive games, and I don't know why the hell you assumed I didn't. You need to not spout lies about my beliefs from here on out, and we'll be golden.

I didn't say a spinoff. How did you get that? What is up with everyone lately? Is it just me?
