Mass Effect 2 Goes Multiplatform and More News From EA

Multiplatforms as in 360/PC not PS3.

If i were EA i would make Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 include Mass Effect 1, there's plenty of room on the Blue Ray. actually if i WAS EA i'd probably end up selling it separately for full price, or together as part of a $115 collectors edition with a blue fleshlight.

Crazy, I still haven't even finished the first Mass Effect game. Shame about the Sims 3 delay.

Theres no need to put this on the Ps3 yeah it makes EA more monery but the story, charaters and atmosphere belong to the 360

"If multiplatform meant 360 and PC then every 360 exclusive would be multiplatform. You know its true."

I never played Mass Effect for PC, but i heard there was an "offical" ending to the game in that build so if it really does come out on the ps3 there could be a short recap of the story. Honestly i think the term multiplatform is missused when it comes to pc/360 releases. I wish they would just say Microsoft Gaming Systems or some shit like that.

They're trying to get into the 40-year-old housewife market of the Wii with a game like Dead Space? The logic is all there...

"If multiplatform meant 360 and PC then every 360 exclusive would be multiplatform. You know its true."
Yeah.  It is true.  As true as it is that multiplatform to Microsoft doesn't mean the same thing as multiplatform to almost every other publisher.

If multiplatform meant 360 and PC then every 360 exclusive would be multiplatform. You know its true.

So, does this mean that the Delicious Ham Sandwich might be getting ME2?

YES I LOVED MASS EFFECT!!!

Mass Effect is an awesome game. It's great to know that BioWare is doing well with that franchise. The 360 version of ME2 better not have the same problems as ME1 had or that will be dumb.

"When they say multiplatform then mean consoles. last year Mass Effect was listed as a 360 exclusive and also came out on PC."

Sadness... DA:O is delayed. But it's Bioware, so its not really a surpirse. Also... was't the plan all along to have the ME games be multiplatform? the first one was, eventually.

Also, I was hoping DA:O would be the oppossite of ME - comes to PC first. But as long as it comes to PC gamers, bioware's loyal followers, at the same time as consoles I will be ok. I just don't wanna get screwed over again. Although, DA:O, being what it is, is gonna play best on a PC anyway (isometric top-down BG style RPG). Or lameasses can play it ME/ Kotor style, i guess. (thats not a bad way to play, but the other way is better).

The Godfather II is pushed back?  :(  Hopefully this will give it time to improve better than last time I saw it.

Mass Effect on PS3? Yes please.  I've always been interested in the original.

"It just does not make sense putting ME2 on PS3 unless the first game could be ported, 

This is all bad news. Mass Effect 2 would have been better as an exclusive because they would have focused on tapping into the power of one console.

I think this is a good move for EA as a company because it is all about money and you can get more money if a game comes out on more than one system which is Economics 101 for video game makers.  I am just glad that it is coming out sometime so I can play it and see where they take the awesome setup from the first from there.

Hey, 2009 being such a lame year for video games, we gotta look up to 2010!

Gaming in 2009 has been officially delayed and cancelled.  All game developers have been given furloughs for 1 year.

Dragon Origins delay SUCKS, I just hope the PS3 version isnt CHAWRIBLE like FO3 :(

It just does not make sense putting ME2 on PS3 unless the first game could be ported, but how would that happen when it was published by Microsoft Game Studios.  Publishers have contracts that protect their publishing rights.  For example I have never seen a Microsoft, Sony, on Nintendo published game on a competitive console......it just doesn't happen.  

EA maybe able to put ME2 on PS3 but seriously doubt legally they can put the first on PS3 without consent from Microsoft.  

Regardless the way I read the announcement is multiplatform means PC and X360 unless otherwise announced.

<obligatory> Fuck EA. </obligatory>

"They never said ME was coming to PS3. They just confirmed it would be multiplatform, which the first one was as well (X360/PC)."

I hated mass effect.... could careless about mass effect 2

I really wish when they decide to bring sequels to multi-platforms, that they release the original games multi-platform as well. I'm sure there's plenty of people who want to play the original and not just the sequel.

Cool. There really need to be more multiplatform games because i really hate going out to spend 400 dollars just to play 1 or 2 games on the ps3. its mad buzz kill.

I hate the Wii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if EA should port Dead Space to the Wii (Or make a new Wii exclusive). That game's atmosphere was one of it's main attractions, drawing the player into the doomed Ishimura, but with Wii, I don't think they can achieve the same sense of atmosphere with lesser graphics. Dead Space is just one of those games that need to be on higher powered machines...

Erm, multiplatform as in 360/pc. Noone has confirmed a ps3 version as of yet! Then again it doesnt seem unlikely.

"Booooo!!!!  *hissssssssssssss!*

Screw ME 2 on a PS3. Let's hope Bioware will get their balls back & tell them "No Can Do!"...funnier still, the PS3 version will be a shitty & inferior port to the 360/PC version & if we're lucky we won' t see any expansions on the PS3 but will see them for the PC/360...it'll be just like Fallout 3 in today's joyous anti-ps3 times. Yay!"

Isn't this a good thing? Don't we want more high profile games released during the summer? 

Looks like somehow this was missed the first time;

Mass Effect 2 is PC/360 confirmed.

Damn it, they are still not talking about Mirrors Edge 2, I WANT A SEQUEL TO MIRRORS EDGE, I hope that they announce it soon

"WilliamRLBaker said:

"Hmmm dont think the game will sell to well on the ps3 not unless they release ME1 on the ps3 as well."

yeah since most people wouldnt have played it on pc /360 they wont be up on the story. "

If ME 1 was on PS3 to begin with, then I would get the second for PS3. But since I heard the decisions made in the first game affects the second, I just have to get it on 360. Can't wait!
Also, if ME2 is coming to PS3, then won't PS3 owners have to catch up with the first? Maybe a port of the first game? All this is assuming that when they say "multiplatform" they include the PS3, ha ha.

"Mass Effect is old news. Will anybody actually buy it on the PS3 now? I know I won't. There are too many other games coming out to be playing last year's mediocre games."

so does this mean they gonna port over mass effect 1 to the ps3 anytime soon or what???

Mass effect multi platform?! Yay!!

Dragon age being delayed sucks, but I guess it's for a reason.

Not much of a surprise that Mass Effect is making it's multiplatform move. Many big franchises already have done so and they've sold better than they would have as an exclusive,so no surprises there.I am not angry at EA despite seeing a 360 exclusive going away as they did what they had to do.

I will buy mass 2 on 360 cuz the choices i made in the first game affect the second.

I've got two friends who actually work at BioWare, so I'll see if I can't bug them for any information over ME2's platform.
