Bioware to develop for PS3 in-house

BioWare plans to do PlayStation 3 development in-house from now on following the positive experience it had working on the console version Dragon Age: Origins (you'll find our review here).

"We think it's one of the key platforms, obviously, so we're definitely going to be doing PS3," BioWare final boss Greg Zeschuk told Joystiq when asked whether the studio would take control of PS3 development itself.

[-OmarJA-]

Mass Effect 2 on the PS3 confirmed? maybe a PS3 exclusive? anyway i can't wait to see what they will bring up next...

Just bought DAO amazing game.

[Xeoset]

Really? With the 'efforts' they've put into it so far I'd only expect small time works, more than likely PSN games, until the next-generation.

[Keowrath]

Xeoset knowing Bioware for who they are, I just don't see them doing a "small" game, let alone something for the PSN. With my own experiences with the company I would expect a good 60 hour+ game and I just don't see that happening via PSN.

At this point I doubt we'll see Mass Effect on the PS3 but I really can't wait for what then end up delivering. Been a fan of theirs since the original Baldurs gate and Torment. Can't wait to see what they bring to Sonys console next!

[mastiffchild]

Why Xeoset? SAO was a great first effort on the PS3 so why ever wouldn't they push for making all their future products pecilled in for PS/360 on it as well for the extra revenue? I'm sure EA will help them budget wise in any case, aren't you? Nesides, what use would they have for piffling around with a fwew PSN games when they could be raking in some serious cash? Perhaps DAO was a trial run for future, fully in house PS3 developments.

I'm not sold on NE1,2 or 3 for PS3 myself either but I don't rule ANY of them out as I'm sure both Bio and EA would like to see it there but different IP could easily make it to PS3 in the next coule of years adn coding ME1 and 2 over would be a much easier project andif they could do it on one disc to make a super long intro to the series I'm sure lucrative is a word they'd use themselves. As I say, I'm not thinking it's a done deal but I don't just rule things out as they didn't do DAO for no good reason and for a first attempt matching the 360 version with ease WAS impressive-they seem to be one of the devs that, this generation, can keep their word and not make asses out of themselves in the process. f it wasn't for the awful, awful ME DLC I had the midfortune to play on the PC(why Bio, why?)I'd say they'd have a pretty much faultless current gen record. I'm playing ME through on 360 for the first time now to get my save ready for ME2 and though it's nowhere near as smooth or silky as the PC game it's good enough to enjoy esp when you install it-certainly still a great game and not the downgrade certain other PC to 360 games have been(yes, I'm looking right at you L4D! Now, that's what I call paying thrugh the nose for a WAY less exciting experience with less of virtually everything! Thanks Valve, you sspoil us 360 gamers just with your presence on our system! We wouldn't be so cheeky as to ask for any kind of value or even half of what PC gamers get for, in my case, less than half the price of what we paid on 360! Big, vig rip offwheres the quality, where's the dev support and wheres the community/mod support? So PS3 gamers STOP lusting aftre this overpriced, underpowered game bite with a nefier than anyone should pay pricetag and 360 gamers wake up to the fact they're ripping us off mercilessly-play the PC version for a while and see what the differences, including the prices are and you should agree with me totally and stop loving Valve for conning us).

On the other hand, Bioware,. have been OK with everyone and, that DLC apart, seem to know how to make geat games for everyone while also keeping ther secorum and not ripping off anybody on any platform-let alone badmouthing things, people and communities. They provide a good example of how a PC dev also making console games should behave. Understandably they went t the 360 first as the dev kits are like PC kits in many ways but weren't above trying newer things on the PS3 once they felt they'd reached a good standard on the 360-they show sensibility and a good sense of what's acceptable and appropriate. Good work Bio!

[Xeoset]

My main point involves the length of this generation. It has been said it will last longer than all others and with Natal being Microsofts 'new launch' for the Xbox 360, it seems to span all companies. Bioware are a competent team. Yet, to create an idea, spend years crafting it and THEN start developing it might make their first full title for Sony on the PS4.

Mass Effect started development on the PC before the 360's launch and luckily for the crowd the 360's architecture mechanics are essentially the same as a PC's, thus a swift shift. As Brink dev's have said, the PS3 doesn't reflect this and therefore I believe we still won't see much from Bioware for it.

[zeeshan]

Sometimes, this teasing pisses me off. I have played Mass Effect 1 and honestly speaking, I don't think PS3 owners are missing a lot. The software library of PS3 is far ahead of X360 already and it's going even further next year when GT5, Heavy Rain, GOW3, MAG etc hit the market. Mass Effect has so many issues and glitches! If you have played ME1, you'd know what I am talking about! Yes, the game's story is interesting and takes a big turn when *SPOILER AHEAD* you learn that Citadel is actually a relay for Reapers to use and I enjoyed that bit but technically, the game comes with a lot of issues.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is DEVS should either say "No, it's not coming to PS3" so anyone who wants to play ME1 could either pick up the PC version of buy himself an Xbox360 to play that game OR, they could say "Yes, it's coming to PS3 but not right now" so gamers could sit and wait for the damn thing to arrive on their platform. This "NO COMMENT" or "We are not going to say anything" really hurts gaming and gamers mostly. That's just wrong!

[calis]

Please please please please please do KOTOR3.

[sikbeta]

Is just me, or you end up downplaying Bioware in order to make a negative comment about this Article

[DaTruth]

Sounds like timed exclusive to me, but if not then please just say no PS3 version and be done with it. There could be someone out there who wants it on their PS3 and only has a lower grade PC; What are they to do, sit around waiting? Buy it for their PCrap and get screwed on the timed release?

I'm sure they thought of this and that's why I say timed exclusive. They were probably asked this about ME1 and just said no!

[Shotgun_Roamer]

whatever they end up doing, it's nice to see some more developers realize the reward for developing for the ps3. Hope to se some great exclusives coming soon :D

[Saaking]

Great job Bioware.

[Ausbo]

i only have a 360, but i am no fanboy

I think it is great that bioware is bringing games to the ps3, everyone should experience their storytelling masterpieces.

They are great devs and hopefully they continue on the ps3 as well.

[Shotgun_Roamer]

bubbles, ausbo, bubbles. nice to hear some unbiased, no-nonsense talk here. at least someone respects the difference between the open and gamer zones

[Budg3tG4m3r]

Here we go again (shakes head)

[Saaking]

What's really impressive is they managed to not only make a good game on the PS3, but they actually made it superior to it's 360 counterpart. If ME2 does come to PS3, we can expect a great and maybe even better port. I think Bioware really liked what the PS3 offers.

[moparful99]

Valve are you taking notes????

[The 1]

What else is the dude going to say with ME2 so close to launch? If he reveals that ME2 is never coming to PS3 the fanboys and pro Sony media would destroy the game before it even came out.

They know how bad Sony fanboys want this(to play or to spite the 360) This is why they won't talk about it.

[Sarcasm]

After the result of Dragon Age, they are at least competent with PS3 hardware. So come on Bioware, bring on a PS3 exclusive already!

[MGSR THE HD VERSION]

they'll be making more multiplat games but they're excluding mass effect out of the picture.

besides, why ask for an other crappy port when you can benefit more from simultaneous development.

[calis]

"What else is the dude going to say with ME2 so close to launch? If he reveals that ME2 is never coming to PS3 the fanboys and pro Sony media would destroy the game before it even came out."

You mean how Gears of War was destroyed by "pro Sony" media? Look how much that affected it's sales.

Please stop talking.

[specialguest]

He was the biggest 360 fanboy on Ebuamsworld forum (but not nearly as bad as N4G fanboys), and I see he still hasn't changed since then.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

inb4 "Mass Effect PS3 Confirmed"

;o

[pixelsword]

Looking kinda' stupid out there standing all by yourself.

Signed,

Public Opinion

[skewit]

PS3 FTW!

[PatDH]

Your comment was good until it got to the stupid fan-boy stuff. The graphics of ME2 are great as they are :)

(I own a PS3 btw, never owned an Xbox or Xbox360 - So don't call me a bot or whatever haha).

EDIT: N4G is full of idiots.. ohwell lol. I'd just be happy for ME2 to even come to the PS3 lol.

[Game13a13y]

its about time the PS3 stole one of the exclusives from the 360, nice

[zeeshan]

Huh? Bioshock, Star Ocean and other titles say Hi :)

[ultimolu]

Hopefully we get Mass Effect 1 and 2. n_n

[DaTruth]

The graphics can stay the same, just please iron out the glitches with the extra Bluray space! The problem with that game is probably the high compression.

[CrazyOrange]

-----> open zone,buddy.

[The 1]

Bioshock was in development for the PS3 first and then the 360. During this time they canceled the PS3 version and later finished it. lol

Star Ocean is a PS2 franchise so the 360 stole it and the PS3 stole it back? lol

[TheDeadMetalhead]

*holds up his copies of Bioshock and Oblivion on PS3*

You were saying? :3

[chidori666]

them coming bots ..

[nix]

but i hope they make it as great as PS3 exclusive games we are used to playing with.

[heylo]

here's the first:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

With the vastly superior version of Dragon age: Origins for PS3.
It's clear that Bioware has tapped into the power of the trey and liked it.

Expect to lose Mass effect exclusivity at E3 2010.
Pooooor bots :(

[ultimolu]

That's it Canadian, you buy the next box of tissues for the bots. I'm running out again. :]

[The Creep]

you ps3 fans are hilarious.

you truly cant buy this type of comedy

[ThatCanadianGuy]

:)

[ultimolu]

Lol, you're awesome. c:

[The Creep]

oh canadian guy your so awwwesomme

looooooool

get a life ultimolu

[timestoby]

im sure most are waiting for mass E. should run and look abit better on ps3?

[Rocco Siffredi]

positive experience with Dragon AGE??

The PS3 version has extrem framerate issues. It looks a little bit better compared to the 360 version, but it has FPS issues. Lensoftruth.com

[PlayStation X]

link or your chatting bullsh1t, i aint had no framerate problems =/

[CryWolf]

Yea and Lensoftruth.com is a Microshit Xbot web site they like bot games more then they like PS3 games if you look at borderlands and Brütal Legend for PS3 looks superior then 360 version does but lensoftruth.com put xbots first giving them the winning comparings.

[Shane Kim]

Hahahha Lens of Truth? No matter how many sites who gives the upper hand to the PS3 version, those Microsoft Baboons (funded by me, Shane Kim by the way) will always find the xbollox version superior.

[CernaML]

lol What about Lens of Truth? I don't recall a Dragon Age Origins comparison from them. Try again.

[Rocco Siffredi]

Here we go from a PS3 magazine:

"In fact, I'd rather have the slightly degraded textures than have to deal with the very unstable framerate of the PlayStation 3 game."

http://www.psxextreme.com/p...

Gamespot, gametrailers and IGN said the same.

But since you said that the 360 cant handle MASS effect due to these kind of problems, you will have to agree that the PS3 cant handle Dragon Age.

[Rocco Siffredi]

heres the next review:

"I’m not kidding, during most of the battles – and when I say “most” I mean 75-85% of them – the framerate drops so low that characters jump from one location on-screen to another without traversing the intermediate space."

http://www.bscreview.com/20...

and here: http://www.computerandvideo...

need more??

[Admiral_Benson]

Rocco

For someone who has such hatred for anything Sony or PS3 you seem to love leaving comments in PS3 articles. You post more comments in the PS3 section than most PS3 regulars! Are you that insecure in your console of choice?

You take trolling and extreme fanboyism to an embarrasing new low. Actively hunting out multiple links to reviews for PS3 games? Grow TFU and go play some games man, worry about the games on your own system.

Is there really that little news worth commenting on in the 360 section or something?

[Sez]

thats some serious ownage there. bubbles+ for you

[MetalGearRising]

Poor droids still crying for Mass Effect u all sound so desperate at times it makes me laugh out loud u might as well crawl face downwards and beg for the game because that's how desperate u droids look.

[Admiral_Benson]

Says the man with a Metal Gear Rising avatar.

I remember when you fanboys were foaming at the mouth for months about the whole Metal Gear "Solid" exclusivity. Hypocrite much?

Why would anyone need to "crawl face down and beg" for a game that's been readily available on the PC for ages?

[Bathyj]

See. Not so hard. Just different.

[ultimolu]

*whacks you over the head* No logic allowed here! xD

[divideby0]

Gabe really looks as stupid as his comments about the PS3 are....
you would think a professional was a little more intelligent than him

[DaTruth]

He's a professional fanboy! His two professions conflict with each other!

[nix]

wow.. "final boss"??? that's funny.

[calis]

Yep, beat him and you're the new boss of Bioware.

Ahh...

Nothing like the smell of damage control in the morning!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

This is what happens tho bots, you know, when you act as if 3rd party devs are first party devs..

Bot: Bioshock is exclusive! ..failed

Bot: Tales of vesperia is exclusive! ...failed

Bot: Ninja gaiden 2 is exclusive!! ...failed

Bot: Star ocean is exclusive! It will never go to PS3 ..FAILED

Bot: Mass effect will never go to PS3 blah blah wah wah etc.

See a trend bots? :)

[crck]

The game is probably coming to PS3 but does it really matter? It obvious that EA signed a money bag deal with MS for timed exclusivity which is why they can't talk about the PS3 version. Just get it on PC. If you have a dual core and a $60 graphics card it will run and play better then on either console.

[DeadlyAnGeL91792]

well at least there not dumping the work on some other develper,gotta love bioware....now just gimmie mass effect on my ps3 and they'll officially be my favorite developer right up there with naughty dog.

[free3sixty]

The first one was pubslished by Microsoft Game Studios. EA cant bring the 1st one to Sonys machine. But i dont know if MS owns the ME IP if NOT that of course EA could bring the SECOND one to the PS3.

[ultimolu]

Um........Ninja Gaiden 2 was published by Microsoft Game Studios and what did PS3 owners get?

Publishing doesn't mean exclusivity. Sorry to burst your bubble.

[Darren_y2]

Mass Effect Sigma confirmed lol

[Disccordia]

EA own the publishing rights and intellectual property of all Bioware titles. That's why it cost them nearly a billion dollars!

[likedamaster]

"It [exclusivity] actually does exist for Mass Effect 2. And beyond that, we haven't announced any plans." -Bioware

No dice ps3 fanboys. Maybe ME3.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Who published the PC version? EA
Who has Bioware now? EA
Who owns the IP? EA
Who likes developing for PS3 now? Bioware

[free3sixty]

all games you listened were timed exclusive since the beginning expect of Mass Effect, lol.

Just google.

Can i listen what faile don the PS3??

CELL = FAIL (only 3 games ot of 700 show some low power, lol)
PSN = FAIL
HOME = EPIC FAIL
ALL EXCLUSIVES expect MGS4, Uncharted & LBP = FAIL ( so you got 3 games in 3 years, i mean the rest flopped so you didnt buy it, so dont talk about reviews, lol)
2x Blu Ray drive = EPIC fail (thats why all games have to be installed)

BLU RAY FORMAT = FAIL (all PS3 exclusives use uncompressed 7.1 TRUE HD sound = 13 GB alone, every game could fit on a single DVD9).. why do only PS3 exclusives use uncompressed material? To fill sonys media for marketing?? haha

Dualshock 3 = epic Fail

KZ2 = some devs from the neterlands on Dope, thats why the controls were so silly developed.

3rd place = fail

With hardware sales like right ow it will take SOny 3 years to catch up the 360 = FAIL

[chidori666]

LOL.

rocco and freebotsix are same person...

[Admiral_Benson]

Was just thinking the same thing myself!

I've seen Rocco use the "devs from the neterlands on Dope, thats why the controls were so silly" type comment before.

The disgracefully bad spelling and grammar was another giveaway aswell.

Busted.

Rocco= FAIL
Free3sixty= FAIL
Duplicate Accounts= FAIL

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Back off guys, this bots mine!

1) No.None of those games were ever said to be "Timed exclusive" Especially not by you bots.

2) 3 games show low power? What? Resistance, a launch title did 40 players online With no lag.Resistance 2 60 players, hundreds of enemies on screen at once, no lag.MAG 256 players in a single match with absolutely no lag.Killzone 2, uncharted 1&2, Gran turismo P,LBP,MGS4,Heavy Rain, GOW3 all put 360 to shame in every category.

3) Again, what? Launching with a game that does 40 player fights, then 60, now 256 is a fail? Qore, Life with playstation, Home, built in web broswer for free > Laggy live for $50 a year

4)Home an epic fail? Brace yourself..

Since launch, PlayStation Home has been downloaded seven million times, three million of those are from Europe, and a total of six million virtual items have been downloaded.

The Red Bull Air Race space has been a huge success in Home, gathering 873,136 unique users and 2.5 million overall visits since it launched early this year. A massive 575,000 hours of gameplay have been completed with the average session lasting 39 minutes.

But the development of the space was quite costly! It cost €110,000, that’s a lot of money for anyone, but it comes a huge profit margin with an estimated marketing value of €1.5 million. This is a clear example at showing how much potential Home has for businesses, and as long as they are prepared to risk their money for the development, they can gain huge rewards in return.

The European film promotions have also experienced success with over 800,000 unique views of an exclusive video by director Zack Snyder for the Watchmen promotion.

Other promotions include the sale of 450,000 Star Trek costumes and 125,000 people playing the recent Transformers puzzle games for free virtual T-Shirts.

What these figures show is how massive PlayStation Home is to the PlayStation 3 in terms of visits and revenue for Sony and third-parties, although Sony deny that the aim of the platform is simply to generate revenue.

That my friend, is not a failure.The ZUNE is a failure..

5)2X Blu-ray drive?

The maximum read speed of a disc that is only half full on a
12x drive is only 12MBps compared to the drives maximum of 16.5MBps.

At 2x Blu-ray can read as fast as 12x DVD's minimum read speed. At just
3x Blu-ray is comparable to DVD at 12x; through the first half of the
disc 3x Blu-ray is faster, through the second half of the disc 12x DVD
is faster.
And at only 4x Blu-ray manages to best a 12x DVD's maximum read speed
by 9%.

DVD's read speed fluctuates while BD read speed reamains constant.
YOU=EPIC FAIL

6) Blu-ray format = fail? No that's HD-DVD.

With these many major companies backing Blu-ray it's anything but a fail.

Apple Inc.
Dell Inc.
Hewlett-Packard
Hitachi, Ltd.
Intel Corporation
LG Electronics (Lucky GoldStar)
Mitsubishi Electric
Panasonic (Matsushita Electric Industrial)
Pioneer Corporation
Royal Philips Electronics
Samsung Electronics
Sharp Corporation
Sony Corporation
Sun Microsystems
TDK Corporation (Tokyo Denki Kagaku)
Thomson SA
20th Century Fox
Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group
Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc.

Blu-ray is why games like FF will be on 3+ discs on your gimped console.

7 & 8) You're just retarded

9) PS3 sold over a million M-I-L-L-I-O-N in one month.360 never did that, never even came close ;)

[Nitrowolf2]

thats a big explantion of pwnage canadian
Also i think that thing with the installs is a developer issue, no joke. Justlook at ps3 recent games like UC2, KZ2, they are huge games and didn't even reuire an install, im aware that they are also first party games but there are 3rd pary=ty games out there that aren't even half the soize of those games and still require an install. Like i said i think its the developer issue with that. UC1 and 2 litterally no load times.
Also talk about epi fail, like canadian guy said look at all those company supporting Blu-ray if something was a fail then why does it have support from big brand companies, cause in business you don't get to have big brand companies support a failing product.
Also 360 people don't but anygame either other then if they have "Halo" or "Gears" in there name. Just look at forza 3 sales it didn't sell 2million on day one remeber its bot logic

[Admiral_Benson]

What means if you play behind?

It means, that you try to play online but you are alone. You just have to wait and HOPE that after getting some free DLC the players will return to play a game which was hyped and flopped.

Well Duh, the 360 of course. Even with all the patches and repairs it gets, it still fails 60% of the time.

Next time, think of a better insult and make sure it's one, where your favorite console can't be attributed to an even bigger fail, otherwise it'll just make you look even dumber than you already are.

All I've been seeing was nothing but praises for this game, yet there are other sites that shows the PS3 has a higher score than the 360 (which is UNBELIEVABLE considering it's a multiplat). Big thumbs up for these guys although I wasn't too keen on MASS EFFECT on the PC (due to the non-support for the windows 360 contorller) but I will be looking forward to their future titles (exclusive or not).

[XDF]

you said "All I've been seeing was nothing but praises for this game, yet there are other sites that shows the PS3 has a higher score than the 360 (which is UNBELIEVABLE considering it's a multiplat,"

So by your definition, the X360 versions of Batman: AA, and Assassin's Creed 2 is the better version since currently, it is scoring higher than the PS3 counterparts.

FYI, Dragon Age is the same now at 88 on both the PS3 and X360.

[DigitalAnalog]

Unlike you, my comments are not intended to troll. I'm obviously PRAISING Dragon Age for their efforts on the PS3, one of which MANY other multi-plat developers could aspire from them.

That's as much as I'm giving you.

-End statement

[XDF]

By the time Mass Effect is out on PS3...no one cares anymore.if that would had happened.

I own a PS360 so I am set..

Can t wait to see whats in store for Ps3 owner in the future :)

[JonnyBigBoss]

Bioware, you're on my top 3. I am enjoying Dragon Age on PC so much right now.

[Commander TK]

... Respect to Bioware

[AKS]

I'm getting the PC version regardless of what's happening with the 360 or PS3. Mass Effect was much more enjoyable with a mouse and keyboard and without the technical problems.

[Mr_Luke]

Good, BioWare supporting the PS3 is a very good thing.

[Kain81]

i hope they make some MDK remakes^^

[Rumor Monger]

i hope that ME1+2 will be announced for PS3 in the near future

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

Don't talk about ME coming to the PS3 when I am finally planning to buy a 360 solely for Mass Effect 2. This is just screwing me in the head.

[kraze07]

You could always get it for PC.

[dj55555555]

It will be nice for them to use a format that isn't so restrictive, chance to show off there true potential.

[Viatrophy]

You mean like that thing called a PC which Mass Effect was already released on?

[Tripl3seis]

The dude with the metal gear rising pic dude be happy you guys are getting a game like that no nvm snake is not in it so you sir FAIL. Btw 360 games are not even close in terms of quality and graphics to the likes of ps3 exclusives ps3 exclusives they are like made by aliens or something just look at uncharted 2 for example that game is not made by humans lol ps3 ftw!!!!!!!

[saimcheeda]

bioware supporting SONY, but SONY Fans shouldnt get their hopes up about ME on PS3 in my opinion!

[likedamaster]

Seriously, enough with Mass Effect ps3 version already. It's not coming, get over it and get a 360.

[cyborg6971]

I wouldn't wish the 360 on my worst enemy. That's just awful. And by the way the master you are is the master of mediocrity.

Get a 360? lol I can just play the superior version on my PC.

Oh, the memories. I woulda believed ^ that coming from a dev. Mass Effect PS3 denied by some dude in a comments section? This I must believe! (<-- nice heaping scoop of sarcasm)

[massefect2HDPS3]

hey bots, version of mass efect HD is only on ps3.

[ExposingLames]

umm.....mass effect was also on the PC correct? so why are you even trying to call it an exclusive?

if you noticed PS3 players give respect where its due, we have always (most of us atleast) respected bioware from the jump and never talked bad about their developing, and now it seems that bioware is ready to step it up and go with a more powerful console....i would more than LOVE to see what kind of job they could do with a PS3 exclusive if they can do what they did with Mass Effect on the 360, and can see where the bar is set by developers like ND, Sucker Punch, and Guerrilla

we just dont respect garbage companies like bungie and valve....wow lets make FPSs, the most over done ran into the ground genre ever!! and then some of us can cry because we are lazy and have no motivation because the PS3 is just too hard so we just dont develop for it lol....new flash, we dont want valves garbage anyways, how often have u saw us asking for it?

while if you saw the bungie thread on here a week or so ago, hardly any PS3 players care for their cartoony, futuristic kids games, as i said in that post i would have an open mind, but we are beyond ran in the ground FPS and we have standards to meet and expect diversity which clearly with games like ODLC errr i mean ODST sorry :)...bots buy up 2 million copies with the quickness....PS3 people would have been like get that outta my face, just like we are with Slant Six (worst developer EVER!) and their exuse for a SOCOM game

but i have no respect for FPS milkers and joke developers, especially ones that dont even want to break free and man up and do their own thing, cuz they dont want to get out of Activisions umbrella.....i bet IW would be great if they had some balls and did their own thing, they might even make something besides a FPS, but it seems they are happy being activisions B's so its all good have fun

MS loosing all

[Tyler_XMB]

I'd love Mass Effect on PS3 but if I had to to choose between Mass Effect or a Bioware PS3 exclusive, I'd choose the exclusive.

[devilhunterx]

Dont you just love these N4G experts?

Hey NoGames Bots look at my avatar!

[horndog]

goof. Sony is the biggest loser this gen bud. Nothing like what the ps2 era was like. MS on its second console has booted sony like a dirty used up whore, embarassed it and dethroned it this gen. Sony was the one who lost all the exclusives it had last gen but you forget to look at the bigger picture. You guys cried about FF, MGS,RE,Ace Combat and all the big exclusives that once used to be only sony. AAAhhhh yes, how soon we forget how much they have lost.

A disastrous 3 year which only cost them 5.7 billions and no profit . Remember when ps2 would come out with the games first and than xbox and gamecube would get a crappy ports or even nothing a year later?? Well the ps3 is the gamecube this gen.LOOLOLOLOLOL. PS3 has taken a back seat this gen and it's getting worked by Nintendo and MS this gen. I will enjoy my Mass Effect 2 and hopefully so will ps3 fans, im sure they won't mind since they are used to waiting for those timed exclusives and are used to playing catch up too.

[horndog]

I will let you know how good it is when i play it on the 360 first. Just wait.....oh nevermind, you guys have no choice but to wait if even a chance. LOLOL but thanks for pumping me up for this game, even you guys are going gaga over it and i can't blame you. FF just doesn't cut it.

[CernaML]

lol You so-called Xbox loyalists really like to act like we NEED an Xbox 360 to play this game. Whatever floats your boat.

[ExposingLames]

lol talk big when we all know the PC version is where its at noob

[infekt]

Talk about b1tch slapping Value.. haha

[OmegaSlayer]

I'm enjoying DAO a lot on my PS3, still, it's the "same old" Medieval RPG, while Mass Effect is a more original Sci-Fi RPG mixed with interesting TPS action.

[The5thApe]

If you want to play Mass Effect games on a consoloe(and you should) get an XBOX, simples. It's a GOOD thing. Stand up to your own predjucies. Free your gaming potential. plus Alan wake is around the corner (you know it's gonna rock)

I got a PS3 at last, I want the best of both worlds admitidly I don't use it nearly as much as my xbox, down to personal prefrence (especially when the controler is involved, what's up with those trigger buttons my fingers slip off them and dislocating my thumbs to use the anolouge sticks)

[OmegaSlayer]

I'm not interested in playing online, I'm intersted only in 4 games for 360, the 2 Gears and the 2 Mass Effects, I don't care about 50 pixels more or less, I don't care about a frame per second of difference, so why should I buy an XBOX?

So, basically I'm intersted in 2 IP developed but 3rd party studios, so why should I support a system that is faulty, and a manufacturer that has no respect for consumers (360 is not the only fail...Windows 98, Vista, the lack of an antivirus in their system, employers on forums to throw poo on competition...)

I owned other systems (Super Famicom, Genesis, Gamecube, Saturn, Dreamcast), I cry the end of Sega as an hardware manufacturer, so I'm not against owning multiple system, but I will never buy a machine branded by Microsoft.
The only chance of getting a 360 would be finding a used, modded and banned one, because I don't want to fund them.

Then, speaking about Mass Effect, EA and Bioware should be stupid to not understand how much PS3 users want the game.
