Will Mass Effect 2 Explode At Sony's Press Conference?

PSXExtreme: There were several surprises at Microsoft's E3 press conference yesterday, but amidst all the hubbub, we may be overlooking something crucial that might relate to Sony's conference today.

As OXCGN points out, Bioware's Mass Effect 2 was nowhere to be found yesterday. We have always found it strange that, considering EA's involvement in the new series, it would remain exclusive to the Xbox 360. After all, not only are just about all third-party exclusives disappearing - just look at Metal Gear Solid: Rising - but since when does freakin' EA go in for exclusivity?

[Forrest Gump]

Hmm I don't know.

[lociefer]

would be aweosome if they announced mass effect 1/2 on 1 bluray , if not , im still gettin mass effect 2 on 360 or pc , wichever has less bugs

[Nineball2112]

This could happen. I don't think it will, but if it does happen... Wow!!

That would be... *cough* mind blowing!! *cough* LOL... I saw that all day today and yesterday about MS's conference... MIND BLOWING!@! :D

[Tony P]

Ffs just wait 30 minutes and we'll know for sure. Extra hits for more speculation. Sheesh.

[darthv72]

probably not. It is up to EA to announce info on this game. Not sony or MS for that matter.

[darthv72]

Gee...you sure can run fast from post to post.

Ruuuuuunnn Forrrrressstttt Ruuuuunnnnnnn.

[really duh]

OXCGN wrote that article not even knowing EA had its press conference where they announced the platforms already lol. No really the article writer was posting comments showing he thought EA had not done their conference in the OXCGN article on N4G.

[Bnet343]

No, EA already announced 360 and PC at their conference. Like everyone likes to say, get the PC version if you do not have a 360, why would you want this on PS3?

[Rockox]

Forrest must be refreshing his page every 5 seconds. Maybe he's got a bet going on with someone to see how many first posts he can get.

[OmarJA]

Funny they didn't show it at M$'s conference.

[really duh]

They didn't show a lot of things that will be revealed this week.

[Bnet343]

They didn't show it at Microsoft's conference because it's not their game ... dur dur dur. EA = BioWare = EA conference dur dur dur, don't get to excited dur dur dur.

[OmarJA]

Dur dur dur, do they actually have their own games ?

[Why o why]

as long as sony announce more exclusives im good. sony doesnt need the 'me too' strategy as they have been building from the ps1 days. Exclusives differenciate and build a legacy, multiplats build a bigger library. Both methods are good therefore the best option is to have both dont you think

[ShabzS]

could happen ... 50 / 50

[Nineball2112]

2 hours of goodness are about here! Just 9 more minutes and I guess we might find out if this rumor is true.

I doubt even if this is true that it will be the show stopper. I think Sony has so much news we'll all be numb to it all by the time the conference is over. :D

[Beast_Master]

"EA = BioWare = EA conference dur dur dur, don't get to excited dur dur dur."

EA had their press event and didn't show the game in anything but trailer form dur dur dur.

Put your teeth back in your mouth you rabid fanboy!

P.S.
I could care less about a Glitchy, Overrated, Space RPG/Shooter.

[lordgodalming]

Honestly I hope not. Sony, MS, and Nintendo all need to focus on great exclusives, not sharing or stealing other platforms' best sellers.

[Mike134nl]

Did see it at the gametrailers pre e3 announcements.
We didn't see duke nukem or APB either at Microsoft.

[WildArmed]

but imma get this game no matter what!
PC or 360 here i come

[MegaMohsi]

It could be timed exclusive for 360 so they could only announce ME 1 which would be a dead give away that 2 is on the way.

[Forrest Gump]

Hmm.

[Nineball2112]

Double Hmmm....

[chaosatom]

hmmmmm.....could happen.

[Why o why]

'A MASS EFFECTO SPINOFFER'.......that'll really show em:).......¬_¬

[lloyd_wonder]

It was at EA's conference for PC and 360. Don't get too excited.

[MegaMohsi]

so was SC conviction at Ubisoft's, that didnt stop them from going to MS's conference.

[Grown Folks Talk]

They'd really have to release the 1st with it to make it on par seeing as how your choices in the 1st affect the 2nd.

[StanLee]

Didn't EA also publish and distribute Left 4 Dead on the Xbox 360?

[cmrbe]

this is crap. I want a new Dark Cloud 3 or KH 3 exclsuive. Not some bloody multi-plat. Once ME goes muilt i bet it will suck to its fans like every other every other games that went multi-plat have gone down hill.

[Bnet343]

We don't care what you want, this article isn't about Dark Cloud 3 or Kingdom Hearts 3. Go blog it somewhere, don't spam it here where it has nothing to do with the article.

[All Time Greatness]

This would be awesome! Mass Effect rules, everyone should get it!

[Panthers]

People were saying that at EAs conference it was shown as 360 PC only. I havent watched it yet since I get all the important stuff here, but if it does come to PS3 then great!

[undacovabrothe]

Would use their time announcing a mutliplat like ME2 on ps3 thats something EA would enjoy announcing.

[Cajun Chicken]

If so, PS3 needs Mass Effect 1, the grand master plan of having the old save affecting the new game sounds great. Technically it wouldn't be the same game without it, would it?

So after all the time I keep on getting excited for this to turn up on PS3, guess what, I'll probably just get the 360 version anyway in case anything directly involves the plot or characters.

[Major_Tom]

Lol No it won't. This rumor keeps going around but the chances of it happening aren't possible. It's as likely as Gears going to PS3.

[bob saget remix]

The story was good. Gameplay was boring. Really boring. It made me kind of sad that I wasted that much bandwidth to pirate ME for the pc :(
Edit: No it just wasn't that fun. It would of made a better movie. I'm not saying the game was awful. I just thought it was boring.

[STICKzophrenic]

Boring gameplay?

You must have just used the assault rifle and tried to shoot through everything, without using any of Shepard's upgrades.

[StanLee]

Everyone talk about Kojima's long standing relationship with Sony but noone ever mentions BioWare's long standing relationship with Microsoft. Sames a Valves. Last I check, both developer's games were distributed and published by EA. Mass Effect 2 was announced exclusive to the Xbox 360 and PC as recent as yesterday. The reason it wasn't at Microsoft's show is because frankly, EA would have had a pretty thin show without it. It was already thin with Mass Effect 2 shown.

[cereal_killa]

Bioware has no say in what happens to this or any of there games EA owns them and if they want Sony to have ME2 then Sony gets ME2.

[-x.Red.x-]

get ready to cry to milo :D

[spunnups]

I think it's coming, u know MS would make a big deal about the Mass Effect series staying exclusive if it were the case.

[saimcheeda]

if it comes or not!!im never gonna buy it...if sony wanna steal anything at least they should steal something worthwhile!!

[MetalGearBear]

PS3 FTW!!!

[artgamer]

they said its COMING to 360/PC. Big difference, and as always the devil is in the details.

[u got owned]

Maybe they'll announce ME and ME2 in the same package and maybe they wont since EA said it was only PC and xbox 360, but you never, this days with 3rd party developers.

[TheFullMetal]

this is from the new mass effect 2 website. It states this in the FAQ

4: Will there be a PS3 version of Mass Effect 1 and 2? top
Mass Effect 2 is planned for the PC and Xbox 360.

http://masseffect.bioware.c...

enough said!

[really duh]

I agree its only for the PC and the 360. The issue is so sensitive Its no wonder they're always careful about this. Also it doesn't make them look like flip floppers if they change their mind assuming they can. Also EA is trying to build their rep they know Sony fanboys would bash them if they were to flat out say no.

[kewlkat007]

So stay tuned....

[ultimolu]

Let's just wait please...

[PS360PCROCKS]

The game is like a year away almost. They didn't have a demo and EA showed the trailer. Big deal...and at the end of said trailer it said "PC/360." I don't get the "speculation" Microsoft didn't show trailers for all the games.

[StanLee]

Trust me, EA would have gotten a bigger buzz had they announced the game was multiplatform. Their conference was mediocre at best.

[APOFISBORICUA]

...I believe MS has trown a lots of money for this and other games to be exclusive to the 360. Im not going to be hypocript, If I had only a PS3 I would be jelous of not having this game on my PS3. At least my jelousness will come from a gamer point, not like the jelousness expressed yesterday by some fanboys about MGS:Rising on 360.

My wife said I had an elephant memory so Im going to say that I havent forgotten all the insults, and hate toward MGS4. These same 360 fans that bash the game for being a movie are now telling and moking PS3 fans not because they would get a new MGS game on the 360...they really dont care as demonstrated in the past...they behave like that because they "stole" another and the "last" important frinchise of the PS family. So given they "stole" it as a MS representative try to said, they won the "war" because they "stole" MGS.

I really dont care if ME 2 come to the PS3. I have a 360 to play it. Im happy the 360 get MGS but not for the asummption that Ps3 losses another exclusive. Im not thet greedy green. I at least had a vast knowledge of the series back on the Playstation. So if Mass Effect 2 did came to the PS3, PS3 only fans had missed the first game and they would be lost in the story...but come on we stole it, would be the reaction of some.

This gen of gaming is pretty bad not for the fanboys, but for us the gamers because more importance is given to just "stolen" than enjoying a good game no matter the console.

BTW Metal Gear Solid 4 IS the BEST GAME OF THIS GEN SO FAR.

PEACE AND GAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Why o why]

be....i quote COMPLETE.. ha ha anyway sony's library of games has always been sought after, and yes i too have noticed how they have changed their tune AGAIN towards that movie. Worst thing is its not part 4 or 5 but a spinoff. Seems they loved him all along. Strange human trait like sniffing ones own fart. I too will like and honor the spinoff if its good even if kojima himself is not directly onboard as team kojima are a talented bunch.

good comment btw +1

[APOFISBORICUA]

BTW I completely agree with your comment. But in this site there are losts of people that cant read or are too limited to understood what I wanted to express. One disagree without caring to xpress why. Anyway thank for the reply I see there are more people that live in this earth.

PEACE AND GAMING!!

[sedx]

everyone knows you save the best for last....
even the 360 fanboy's are looking forward to this main event

[Xi]

put your best foot forward?

Seems like that's more the case at this E3. Maybe you shouldn't put words in other peoples mouths.

[Neo604]

ps3 line up is quite big.

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

'Where will you be? When this is through' xbox 360 or multiplat? Im still buying it for 360,but I dont mind sharing the love

[bob saget remix]

I'm not much of a sequel fan. Thats why I like sony. They always come out with new ips.

[Xi]

uncharted 2, and killzone 2, and god of war 3, and motorstorm 3, and socom 5, and rachet and clank 7...

[kaveti6616]

He could have put it in better words so that you wouldn't call him on it, but it is true that Sony releases new IPs on a much larger scale than Microsoft. Uncharted and Little Big Planet and Demon's Souls and White Knight Chronicles and Valkyria Chronicles and a Resistance and Motorstorm and a whole bunch more have all been new IPs in this generation. The 360 has gotten a much smaller share of new IPs.
