Mass Effect 2 Comes To PlayStation 3

MS is making a total dick move by not porting the original. Unfortunately I completely understand from a business perspective.

Lame.  Now snooty PS3 owners will all be like "WEL U DON'T EVEN HAV MASS EFFACT ANYMOR HUR HUR" and think they know everything about it even after not playing the first game.
 
My friend is a PS3 fan and he's planning to just get mass effect 1 and 2 on PC as a bundle.
 
I don't hate the PS3 but this just seems like blasphemy.  Bioware kinda sold out on this one.

You want more money you say?

Its not worth it without the first game though. Some of the really meaningful choices in the first game were hinted to have big results in the third during Mass Effect 2.

lol @ old ps3 spiderman font

Even as a diehard PS3 fan I couldn't care less, but that's just me going through ME1 & 2 about 3 times on my PC. Maybe when it comes in some cheaper version later min incoming years I'd like to see how it fares on PS3, for now, I'd say pass.

pretty sick yo

Since ME1 can't come to PS3 (MS published the first one), but best way to get new players caught up is to ask what kind of backstory their Sheppard has (a la ME1, but more in-depth), and have a short movie of how their story would pan out throughout the first entry of the series.
 
Just watching their Sheppard go through a short movie in the first third of the trilogy would probably be enough for players to get attached to their character.  Not to mention that the series of video clips that encompass every important choice made in ME1 can probably fit on a blu-ray.

Really weird that the used the old PS3 font but I am excited none the less. Now I have no regrets in switching over to the PS3.

Unless they redo the graphics and take advantage of the PS3 and put a bunch of new stuff in there, I don't care. But then this is not for people like me who have played the game 4 times already....

Thanks Bioware.

Personally, I'd rather see 1 come out, with a port of 2 coming out a short while after, if only so that people who haven't started the series yet (I.E. me) can get into it from the start.

ME1 will never be able to jump ship people, stop requesting it. 
 
It was Microsoft published.

I won't be buying it.  Not unless they port ME1 over too.  I feel like there will be a lot of missed opportunities if you just jump into a Bioware sequel without old game save data.  I'd rather build a gaming PC and buy both ME games.

a shit, would be perfect if they put ME1 on the same disc, I played it when I had a 360, but then after it broke on me for the third time I gave up on it, and that was before ME2 was out, I would gladly play the first one again to get all that sweet continuity stuff going on.
 
ME1 was what? 2 dvds? pff that's nothing, they can easily fit ME1 and 2 on a single layer blu-ray, unfortunately M$ already issued a response to that....
 
sorry about the ign link but didn't found the same news in here.

It's great that now PS3 owners will get to share in one of the best gaming experiences, although I can't help but feel that experiencing ME2 is somewhat ... incomplete without playing the first game.  Here's hoping that that is what the 'extra content' might cover.

Well. This was unexpected. But what about ME 1?

I lost my save on Steam copy, gonna rent this as I would prefer my ME3 to be PS3 (As opposed to PC). 

Bioware please, please, please give us Mass Effect 1on ps3 also.

Grats PS3 owners! Welcome to the club! Hopefully the extra content they added is a nice recap to get you guys up to speed.

Nice to see it's finally made it over to the PS3.

Now just release Alan Wake on PS3 and ill never have to buy a 360 EVER

" ME1 and 2 on one blu-ray disc plz.  Also Mass Effect Trilogy on one disc as well later on. "

While I split my game library between my Xbox and PS3.. Mass Effect was one of the only console exclusives keeping me firmly with the Xbox.. if I can Shepperd on the PS3, I may be able to trade in my Xbox in 2011.

This is making me want to play the game again and lol at the people who first dismissed this game when it came out and are then acting excited since it's coming to PS3.

" @Warchief: I believe Microsoft published the first Mass Effect hence the exclusivity.  "

WOW.  MSFT must have not published this one. Actually, come to think it, it was an EA joint.

No problem with it coming to PS3 - share the love I say - But they really need to think about bundling it with Mass Effect 1. I suppose they could top it with a "story so far" video, but half the  fun was seeing how all your decisions carried through.

This is awesome!

glad they are doing it but I dont understand the decision to let PS3 owners enter the story at part 2.  
 
odd.  

I'd be more excited a year ago before I bought a 360.

So where is Mass Effect 1? Then again they could just make it the most amazing super special preorder bonus to have ever existed.
 
Most of all, I sure hope you PS3 owners don't get boned with another shitty port. If Bioware is smart and they want to continue their expansion on PS3, the better work out all the kinks.

" I know that burnout, infamous, and red faction came out on The PSN so ME1 could show up their and not hassle the bioware guys to much with shipping and manufacturing . But there's port work and legal stuff and as a man who only owns a playstation 3 but loves games first and foremost I want ME3 to be the best it can be. So if we some how get ME1, Hurray! If not i'll just play this and keep my dragon age dude around. "

old ps3 logo in the video

" Good that it's coming out on PS3, but it's strange to see a current gen sequel without it's predecessor come out. "

I want that.

They can't port the first one because it was published by MS. Too bad because if the PS3 would fix all the glitches in the first I would re-purchase both for it.

ME1 and 2 on one blu-ray disc plz.  Also Mass Effect Trilogy on one disc as well later on.

So game of the year 2010 for PC & 360 will be game of the year 2011 for the Ps3?
Awesome news either way, but a little strange without ME1.

HOLY SHIT

This is great news for the ps3 folks.  But seriously if they can't port ME1 over too this is all for nothing.  And I don't see that ever happening since Microsoft owns the publishing rights to ME1.  You really need to experience ME1 first before even thinking about playing ME2.  Just my 2 cents though.

Great... Considering how glitchy and buggy their games are when on the 360.  I can't wait to see how bad they are on the ps3. 

So weird that they used the old PS3 spidey font.
