Forums - Sony Discussion - Is Mass Effect really coming to the PS3? BioWare clarifies

They still didn't deny that it is coming to PS3 so that just further confirms the rumor imo.



Around the Network

Yeah, he isn't saying that it's not coming for the PS3 but he killed the single evidence showing that a PS3 version is possible.

We should wait and see what happens, but I don't think that it's coming for the PS3.



So has anyone stopped to even remotely think of checking Mass Effect 1's configs and INI files on the PC version to see if it has similar/same said references to PS3 in it as well? It sure as hell hasn't come to the PS3 yet and I doubt it will, if anything PS3 would get Mass Effect 1 first not skip into the middle of the trilogy and start with 2.



As said before the code found is specific to Mass Effect not the UE3

Kotaku:

We were inundated with tips this week about supposed "proof" that code found within Mass Effect 2 on PC "confirmed" the presence of a PS3 version of the game. It does not.

Seeking to clarify the situation, a statement on BioWare's forums reads:

The Unreal Engine is cross platform, hence the PS3 code. This was brought up back in Mass Effect 1 days as well.

Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360.

LOCKDOWN!

Lockdown indeed. If you check the code for other Unreal Engine games - like Gears of War - you'll find the same thing.


Exactly.

You guys are blind or what? Look at my post above, the part in bold, the piece of code found has nothing to do with UE3.

BTW I have a very good PC so I can have Mass Effect 2 pretty much when I want. Just stop being so naive.

But anyway, I dont get the big deal here.... it isnt an exclusive... PS3 fans keep telling me this.

So go buy it for your PC

The big deal is that they will have to spend $1000 for a good gaming PC or buy an x360 (if they want to play this game). That's why the console exclusivity in this game will be a problem for some ps3 only owners.

I doubt every ps3 owner in the world has a good gaming PC to run Mass Effect 2.



It's coming to PS3. It's just a matter of when.



I hope PS3 owners get to play this. Sadly Mass Effect is MSFT series for me now though.

Just like Final Fantasy + Star Ocean = SONY to me.



doesn't PS3 have a policy where you have to add like 30% of new content if a game comes out 6 months later...or something.
