This month will garnish what is widely regarded as a 2007 Game of the Year candidate. Developed by Bioware, Mass Effect is said to be a spectacular new vision of the future set in a bright universe, with a dark secret. What made this game truly special, at-least to Microsoft is that Bioware had plans to develop this title as an exclusive trilogy with all three games spanning the life span of the Xbox 360 console.
To Microsoft, Mass Effect was, and still possibly is, the bread and butter for the Xbox 360, especially since the Halo trilogy has came to a successful end. However, recent industry transactions have created clouds of doubt over Mass Effect and it's future of the IP still staying 100% exclusive to the Xbox 360. This could lead to the possibility of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 3 coming to the PlayStation 3 console in the future.

how come this crap can be approved, but other stories don't? I am going to bet you a lot of money that MS is going to throw EA a ton of money to make sure the rest of this trilogy stays on the 360
''but now given the fact that EA now owns Bioware, Electronic Arts, not Microsoft will publish and distribute Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.''
- its a big thing for MS, you know they will be throwing money.
- Bioware has a rich history with the xbox brand.
- Also you forgot to mention bioware is working with lucasart outside the ea deal.
- Its to premature to say that 2/3 will be publsed by EA.
''until BioWare opted to move the project over to Microsoft’s console due to lack of development kits from Sony. ''
Huh show your sources.
Xbox can keep mass effect. i want ff13 and versus, that the only rpgs that i wan.
I'm a huge Supporter of Sony and the more games they have the better... but I don't want Mass Effect on the ps3. I don't want Halo on Ps3... I don't want Gears of War on ps3. Those are xbox Staples. Why should we make every console have the same content? We shouldn't. We need diversity and reason to buy these systems over the other. With Mass Effect going to Ps3, it'd be a lost venture. I want new IP for my PS3. I want to see continued support for franchises on their respected console and target audience. Not every damn game needs to be multiplatform, people. Get of it!
I hope so as a ps3fanboy(yeah fanboy,so what?)you know we are talking about EA.there may be a ps3 version a wii version mobile version psp ds and every platform on this planet.you think not so think again.but at other side we have M$ and they know how keep their exclusive,exclusive so it is really complex but at the end i just hope so caz it will be a great game.
