    I watched the new EpicBattleAxe thing and they sounded like they were pretty confident that Mass Effect will come over to Playstation at some point. Do you agree or disagree with them on this. I agree just since they're owned by EA now so EA will want even more money. 
     
    I know there's probably already a forum on this but just wondering. :)

    I think BioWare values the importing save feature too often, so no.

    Ha! Where's the money in it? Same reason publishers don't put things on the Wii, they will not sell as well and its not as cost effective.

    Should fit, and probably could bypass some MS copyright if they did a Sigma type labeling on it.

    I'm pretty sure there is already at least one other topic on this. It could happen, and I get the feeling one of the reasons EA isn't bringing ME2 to PS3 is because the save import feature wouldn't work since ME wasn't released on PS3. But if it ever does come to PS3, it would likely be a port not developed by BioWare unless EA expands them.

    Already confirmed ME2 definitely wont be..and ME1 isnt going to be ported anytime soon or anything. The third game is your only hope, but I really dont see it happening if 2 isnt. But there isnt a reason why not, so I guess you can just hope.

    I don't think its going to happen but I hope not because games made for one system tend to look fucking amazing because they are designed for it look at Uncharted 2 I mean damn if that had been cross platform it wouldn't look that good just get a 360 or a PS3 whatever system your missing no one has a good excuse not to have both now.

    An IGN interview. Just look up ME2 on their site and search what they have on it, its with one of the designers of the game. The IGN dude asks that exact question, if ME2 is going to be on PS3 by any chance, and the other guy responds with"No,  just PC and 360."

    Personally i don't care if Mass Effect comes to the PS3, i already played it on the Xbox 360. But if it does i hope they fix the frame rate on it, cause there is no reason why PS3 only users should suffer the same shitty framerate as the 360 version had.

    When Keighley asked two of the developers during the last episode of gttv, they responded as following:
     
    Dev#1: "Basically, it's coming to Xbox and PC, that's all we're talking about" 
     
    Dev#2: "I'm not saying anything"
     
    To me, that sounds as if ME could well be on ps3 some day.

    i think it would be best for ps3 owners to wish for better ways to load games from blu-ray discs first.
    the elevators were stupidly slow in ME1 and that was from a DVD.

    @Evilsbane: UE3 is already a multiplatform engine, and ME is on PC as well. Also, porting a game doesn't somehow diminish the original.

    @pause422: Not sure if you were being facetious, but that isn't a particularly good indication of whether it will be ported some time later. Similar questions have been answered similarly before and been misleading or untrue. It's likely there are currently no plans, or if there are it wouldn't be in his interest to disclose them.

    I am starting to believe it's a sort of tradition within Bioware. However, they keep saying that Mass Effect 2 won't have frame rate issues but I'll just doubt that until I play the game. My bet is that it will have some frame rate issue.

    @Kamasama: True but when a game is made on one system it can be completely designed around that platforms needs I am not trying to an Elitest or anything but I see no reason for games like Rachet and Clank and Uncharted to be on the 360 even though I have a hard time with the PS3 controller I feel that those games would have been less impressive if developed for both, consoles need good games on just that console to get sales and I feel that ME is a fantastic exclusive title for the 360 and I wouldn't want to see the development split between the two same as Halo Killzone Resistance inFamous and so on.

    @Evilsbane: That's mostly because the engines for those games are designed to take advantage of a specific platform with no compromises made. I'm just saying that Mass Effect is built on a multiplatform engine anyway and development is already split between Xbox 360 and PC. If EA wanted additional sales from another platform, they could increase the budget to that end. I'm not going to bother making the argument of whether they should do that, but in the end they're a business and it would make sense.

    @Kamasama: What you say is true but Any money that would be made from the PS3 port is pretty close to the money Microsoft gives to Bioware to keep the game on that console only and do you know how much they give them? Of course no one knows but I am sure that me and you would not be on this forum we would be playing an alpha version of ME2 on our 128' TVs while making our Lotus outside rev up with a remote control :P

    @Evilsbane: I don't even think there's confirmation of Microsoft paying them to keep it exclusive. If there is a generous exclusivity deal, then sure it may be in their best interest to not bring it to PS3. Any dealings go through EA now, though.

    @Kamasama: Yes but even though I am assuming alot of this any 'deals' were made before EA gobbled Bioware up so they have to honor anything signed before that time. And i think at this point with the second about to be released and how the trilogy is set up I just don't see it happening. Also Jade Empire and KoToR stayed on the Xbox even though the PS2 was clearly the dominant console Microsoft had to give some kind of incentive to keep third party titles on their console other wise it makes no sense.

    It's the same deal as any other game published by Microsoft, they won't be released on any other systems. 
    As has been said, it could be bypassed by doing a Ninja Gaiden "Sigma" type affair, it's just a question of whether or not they'll bother.
     
    The fact the second game wasn't just developed for the PS3 right off seems to suggest some kind of deal in place, or at least some kind of loyalty.  (MS have always treated Bioware well in the past).   The series was announced as a trilogy, we know the first game is tied to MS, so it's very possible the rest of them are too.  It's the only reason EA wouldn't have jumped all over making it multiplatform from the begining and haven't already ported the original.
     
    Maybe it'll happen eventually, but I don't see that being anytime soon.

    @Evilsbane: It wasn't an incentive but more like a case of working on a platform you know. Bioware were kinda an undeclared second party developer. They talk about when doing PR for Dragon Age. They said they choose to work exclusively with the xbox and MS because they knew the system and enjoyed their work relationship with MS. I think It's just matter of time before you see the Mass Effect franchise making it's appearance n the PS3. Though the first Mass Effect came out over 2 years ago so I think that it is getting rather late for a PS3 port I won't rule that option out since EA makes a pretty large chunk of change off of PS3 games (in fact I think I saw an article where EA stated that they makes more money off of PS3 game then 360 though I could be wrong) and the fact that they kinda...need the cash, I won't put it past them.

    @Evilsbane: I was only making the point that Microsoft would be paying EA instead of BioWare, like you said, regardless of when the supposed deals were made. It's pointless to compare other games that we have no knowledge of how they relate to this situation. It's possible that if an exclusivity deal was made that it's expired by now. Or maybe like Too Human they already bought the entire trilogy. We cannot say. Contracts can bought out, though, if EA were so inclined and thought it would be worth it, or for all we know there could be an escape clause.

    @WinterSnowblind: Without seeing a contract, you too are just speculating. Publishing deals do not always imply permanent exclusivity, as can be seen with SCEE publishing Ghostbusters in Europe. Ninja Gaiden 2 was a good example of something that was either made a timed exclusive or not written up well enough. Microsoft does not own the IP even though they published it on Xbox 360. And there are numerous explanations of why Mass Effect 2 wasn't developed for PS3 right off, at least one of which I already mentioned. And BioWare's supposed loyalty probably wouldn't override a decision from EA.

    @Kamasama: I still just don't see them porting a game that by the time its ported over it would be a three year old game and the sequel would be at least a year old than as well I think we have just passed that point where it would be released if it had been done like Bioshock it would have made sense a year after the first came out but releasing the 2nd only on the PS3 would be retarded and porting a 3 year old game doesn't make any sense they would be lucky to sell 250-300,000 copies so unless they do some super combo deal I just don't see it being viable , and again all track records of Bioware have shown fierce loyalty to Microsoft and regardless of who owns them I don't see that changing.BUT stranger things have happened

    I agree, I think the time period for them to do this has passed.  I could maybe see once the third one is released them doing a special edition for both consoles that has all three games together with some updated graphics and other bonuses... but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.  This reminds me of the GTAIV expansions debate, I just don't think it is practical for them to do it at this point when they would be better served working on a future title.  Somebody mentioned another company doing the port, which would have to be the case... but those rarely turn out as well.

    @Evilsbane: So if I understand what "super combo deal" means, it would it make more sense to you if they released all three together sometime in the future? I guess that makes sense to me as well. A Mass Effect Collection would be interesting. They would probably be able to fit them all on one Blu-ray too. Also, their supposed loyalty apparently wasn't in play when they developed Dragon Age: Origins for PS3 as well.

    Any deals they had with MS prior to being purchased would still be in place, just as the deals they had with Sega still went ahead, regardless of EA now being involved.
    Obviously now that EA own them, they want to maximise their profits.  Which is why no PS3 Mass Effect 2 already is strange, and implies that MS still carries some weight when it comes to ME's future.

    I really don't see it coming. I am just speculating, but Microsoft knows that Mass Effect sold a lot of 360's when it first came out and the following months. Hell, I know 3 people personally who got a 360 because they were excited about Mass Effect. If there WERE talks about bringing it to PS3, there is no doubt in my mind that MS would pay EA for exclusivity. Microsoft isn't stupid and they know what they have on their hands with Mass Effect 1 and 2. 
     
    Also, even if it were to come to PS3 the 360 version would be much superior anyway what with the whole save game thing. I suppose they could do a backstory thing at the start of the game, but that's no fun especially compared to being able to see how the characters you've come to love from the first game will be represented in the second. I just think it will add a lot of replay value and even add replay value to the first game.

    @Evilsbane:  Thanks for finally agreeing with one of my points. Although we cannot say for sure whether that was the reason.

    @WinterSnowblind: That doesn't address anything I quoted there. I already talked about possible deals they may have had and have nothing further to say regarding that. I also don't see how that is the implication as I already said, "there are numerous explanations of why Mass Effect 2 wasn't developed for PS3 right off, at least one of which I already mentioned".

    It was in response to you asking why Dragon Age went multiplatform, the answer of course being EA.
    Of course what I'm saying is only speculation, but that's all we can do.  The fact Microsoft retains certain rights to all other games they publish however is a fact, and it's not that much of a stretch to assume they could have aquired the entire Mass Effect trilogy.

    Probably for a timed exclusive but as far as IP rights then EA are the sole owners that IP.

    I already know why it went multiplatform and said as much, disproving that "loyalty" affects their decision making. Also, if you can provide a source for the "fact" that they retain rights to Mass Effect (outside of their own platform) then I'd like to see it.

    Mass Effect on 360 was published by Microsoft.  On PC, it was published EA.  Therefore, a loophole is there if they ever wanted to bring it to PS3.

    Duders. The game is over 2 years old. Give up. There will not be sales large enough to make any money back if they release the game on PS3. The only game this could possibly work for is CoD4 for the Wii - but that's only because CoD is one of the most popular franchises ever and Activision just wants to get it on the Wii because there are so many Wiis in households these days. 
     
    Even if there was a PS3 version, why would you get it over the other ones what with the lack of save game transfers? It'd take so much away from the game. And chances are if you're a ME fan you've played the first on, so you would either have a 360 or PC. If not, you're in the minority and sadly... businesses don't care about you.

    Mass Effect was published with the help of Microsoft and Microsoft doesn't put their games on other platforms.

    @xyzygy:  I totally agree, except i don't think CoD4 is going to sell on the Wii... 
     
     But yeah, if you want Mass Effect on the PS3, put your hopes on ME2 because i don't think Mass Effect will come after all this time. And do you really want to stare at your playstation while you're stuck in an elevator for hours?
