XMNR: Mass Effect 2 finally hit the Playstation 3 last night in the form of the demo. It promises upgraded graphics due to the use of the same engine as Mass Effect 3 along with a few other extra goodies. We took the demo for a test spin last night after downloading it and dove back into the sci-fi RPG tale from BioWare.

im still waiting for it to appear in the psn store
edit: @disagrees play the f%^&ng demo!
Edit: You're disagreeing that it is mentioned in the article?
dead space 2 is better on ps3 too LOL
My opinion is many PS3 gamers have been waiting for ME2 and with the hype of PS3 version has better "graphics" because of ME3 engine, reading someone saying it has poor framerates just don't go well. It's like popping their hype bubble.
Hasn't ME2 on PS3 already gone gold? I do hope the shipping game has smooth framerates as X360 version but I wouldn't be surprised if the main complain will be framerates on the full game when it's out.
heres my psn id buddy DarkOnigenma82 yeah while youre at it enjoy comparing my plat against yours. LOL i have 2 ps3s and 2 xbox360s if you need proof on those as well lemme know i'll take a pic ASAP. kbye

It's funny how they never gave a shit about ME before. In fact, some of them shit all over it because it was a lowly xbox exclusive. Now, the second you mention one unflattering thing about the port, they get all pissy.
Change your tampons people. Just be glad you're getting this game. It's one of the best written stories out there. Which proves my point that true genius and inspiration don't reside exlusively with first party developers.
It says nowhere in the article its has hiccups... COMPARED TO 360 version.
Just that.. it still has hiccups.. like the 360 version did!!
Get it straight and deal with it ;)
Oh my what will Mass Effect 3 look like on PS3 they got the engine running this well already?
Exciting. And silent PS3 with no disc changing...gotta hurt
Don't know what you're so upset about as the Impressions article (not a review) is overall very positive.
Quote:
"Overall, the game is the same Mass Effect 2 that PC and Xbox 360 players enjoyed when it was released at the beginning of the year. The game gets a graphical upgrade courtesy of the Mass Effect 3 engine but there's still the occasional hitch in the engine but nothing that is disruptive to the experience. There is a difference in the graphics between the PS3 version and the Xbox 360 version but it is hard to quantify as to how much. Let's just say that the PS3 version does look better than the Xbox 360 version and looks very clean with upgraded features and character models. It will be enjoyed very much."
This should wrap things up here.
Good to know man. Just make sure you have enough TP.
DOWNLOAD FASTER YOU PIECE OF AMAZING, WONDERFUL, SOON-TO-BE TIME CONSUMING SHIT*!
*not to be confused with an actual time consuming shit where you catch up on that Phillip K Dick novel you neglected for months.
Too many games in 2011, single player games can be played anytime with no negative effects, but LBP has a community that you want to see grow from the start.
Bio-Ware should be ashamed of themselves for pawning this one off on consumers/their fanbase.
I beat ME2 on 360 three times. There is a graphical glitch in the ps3 demo when you are waking up to Miranda when the roof goes all funny-ish for a second. This was present in the final version of the 360 game as well.
The engine-based videos in the ps3 demo occasionally have some fairly blatant screen tearing, but I'm unsure if that was caused by compression for the demo, so the verdict is still out on whether this is insignificant or not.
I found the PS3 demo looked better, even if only marginally (it's true guys, it doesn't look that much better, but it already looks great so who cares?). Peak frame rate seemed to be higher, but there were one or two hitches I certainly don't remember being in the final 360 build. They last for about a millisecond though, so it really doesn't matter to me.
All in all, it looks like there are a couple of trade-offs that make both console versions fairly equal in slightly different ways. I can say with certainty that there is no obvious winner here (like it even matters).
I guess we'll see if this demo build is the final build or not, but until then, know that neither version is inferior by the looks of it. BioWare did great by first impression.
If the reports above are true re: the variable framerate I will be a little disappointed. By no means does it break the game but there are 4 things I hate when it comes to visuals:
1. Jaggies
2. Object/texture Pop-in
3. Screen tearing
4. Noticable drops in framerate.
When all 4 a present in a game I typically don't put as much time into playing that game. Kind of like bad special effects in a movie, every time you notice them it pulls you out of the story.
P.s How much did your dual 5870's in crossfire cost you??
