PS3 Owners Get Mass Effect 2

[Trent the Paladin]

During the EA press conference at GamesCom in Cologne, Germany, BioWare's Dr. Ray revealed that the second game in the Mass Effect series would hit the PlayStation 3 in January.

Is there anything else to say? It's Mass Effect, and it's coming to the PlayStation 3. Let's hear us some cheers, PlayStation 3 owners!

UPDATE: The official press release for the PS3 edition includes the line: "The PlayStation 3 edition will include the full Mass Effect 2 game and hours of bonus content." We've asked an EA spokesperson for clarification about whether that refers to new gameplay sequences or what.

I'd be much happier if I knew we were getting Mass Effect 1. Looks like I still have two PC purchases. :L

although i don't own a PS3, sounds sweet for those who have it. mass effect 2 was an amazing game, i was hooked.

It would make more sense to release both Mass Effect simultaneously so that way PS3 owners can catch up on what happened in the first game. Kinda like what they did with God Of War 1 and 2, ya know?

Wonderful! I hate exclusives.

Yeah.

Sadly, no plans for Mass Effect 1 to hit the PS3 just yet. So I guess I'll end up getting both of them PC wise unless ME1 ever hits PS3.

 

[Riri]

Yes! I wanted ME2 so bad, but I don't have an Xbox or a good gaming PC.

Why would they release the second but not the first? :S Doesn't make too much sense.

Something about Microsoft publishing the first I think? Only reason I've read that makes sense.

Nice! I am excited, and yeah I do believe Tom is correct. I believe Microsoft has the rights to the 1st one and they will not allow them to make it for the PS3 or some other BS like that.
