When did they release MGS4 on the Xbox? I thought it was just the upcoming MGS: Rising.marcogodinho said:
BioWare Says PS3 Mass Effect 2 Will Be Better, Incites Flame Wars
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Well 1 extra year to work on a game. If they didn't improve it or got rid of the bugs(not noticeable when i played the 360 version) i would have been really disappointed at Bioware.
About discswapping , takes only a little time to do that. I mean really i am waiting for the first ps3 game that will have this on the backcover in big letters. I know a lot of things that kills a game the need to swap discs isn't one of those.
I am glad that mass effect is going to the ps3 so now everyone that wants to can play this great game. Now if some ps3 exclusives could jump to the 360 that would make me very happy.
You know, being someone who owns both systems, I usually could care less about what system a game is on.
But what Bioware has done here is essentially slap the face of the fans that MADE the game a success on ONE console. This could have been like Advent Rising, but the game was much loved and supported. And what do they do? They not only go and make an IMPROVED version, but then tease that the IMPROVED version is somehow a reward for people NOT running out to buy the soon to be "lesser" version.
Not only that, but they also get $100 worth of DLC for FREE?! That's just a flat out insult.
What this means for the industry and Bioware specifically is that I personally won't be buying ANY exclusive titles upon release anymore. And certainly not any BIOWARE title.
I'll just wait for a year (I'm patient) and then reap the benefits of being the video game world equivalent of a Johnny-come-lately who shows up to the party late, but then gets to gorge himself on all the food and drink he wants that everyone else was being respectable enough not to eat too much of in case someone else showed up.
For those of you who are like "well at least we have the Mass Effect 1 saves.." sure those were a nice touch in ME2 but compared to the TRADE off here? All of the DLC for FREE? Improved graphics and action? Not even close, give me the extra content, you can keep the game saves... especially since from my understanding nothing is going to be carried over to ME3, especially if your Shepard dies.

Mass Effect was never an exclusive. The term "exclusive" implies that it only exists on a single platform, which neither of the Mass Effect games did. They were released for both Xbox 360 and PC.John Funk said:
Halo: Reach was an exclusive title. Wii Fit was an exclusive title. Mass Effect 2 was not an exclusive title.
Well, they've had more time to work on it, and the PS3 can handle more stuff. It should be the best version.
Win. I was actually rather indifferent to Mass Effect 2 coming to the PS3, but now I know it's going to be more than a shoddy port I'll get it.
I hope they don't release it as Mass Effect 2 though... you'll have a ton of people looking for the PS3 version of the original, all in vain.

Can't we all just agree that the PC will always be the most kickass gaming machine ever (always better hardware, more innovative games, and STEAM)?
It makes sense. They had, what, a year, to make it better.
As a 360 owner, I am glad they finally get their import with an upgrade.
They can't exactly have the original, which I thought was better, so it at least makes up for that. And it brings more people I can giggle over the game with. I like.

This. Just this. I don't care that the PS3 is getting Mass Effect 2. In fact i'm kinda glad, since more people will get to play the game. What pisses me off is that they aren't getting the same version of the game. Maybe i'm weird here, but if a game is released on different consoles, they should be the same on both consoles. It pisses me off that Bioware seems to be going out of their way to fuck with the xbox owners who bought the game at launch. It's not rally the same thing as a GOTY edition, the entire engine is being updated. Although i'm kind of that crazy guy who thinks that all games should be on all consoles.HyenaThePirate said:
Well that sucks PS3 gets all dlc for free why cant xbox get that to *i just want the free stuff honestly xD*. Also why is mirandas butt in the pictures..... and i never noticed how gigantic that is 
I hate when devs do this. I was even happy when they announced that the PS3 would be getting Mass Effect 2 so that our bretheren on the other console could enjoy such a great game. But this, this makes me mad. It really wouldn't piss me off if they just said that the PS3 version will be improved graphically from the 360 version due to them using the Mass Effect 3 engine. But no, they had to say that it "kicks the crap out of the Xbox 360 version". The reason this pisses me off is basically what they're saying makes it sound like the 360 version, the one that is tied for second place on of highest scores on metacritic, is a sickly 3rd grade kid getting mugged for his lunch money by the buff and popular 6th grader, the PS3. It's like they're giving the finger to all their loyal fans who supported them (the 360 and PC player)and who made it possible for this series to actually have a sequel. I love your games Bioware, but this comment lowers my respect for you by a hell of a lot.
Well actually, since they are using the engine for Mass Effect 3, would that mean they could use it as a kind of test drive for the engine? Figure out what works and what doesn't? I'm not in the know of this kind of thing so figure it an assumption. If my assumption is correct, then very good! Bring on the PS3 version.
I have to agree about the DLC.Fr said:
At least PS3 still doesn't have gears of war.....(didn't say halo because that game isn't as good as people prop it up to be)

NUH-UH!!!11!
OT: Meh, I'm still going to sit here and not give a damn. It get's really sad when developers start participating in the console wars.
Mass effect 3 will come out and everyone will forget about all this. In fact everyone may win then.
They didn't mention the PC version because they didn't want to embarrass all the silly little console players.Radynj said:
OT: I don't really care that the PS3 version is slightly improved. It still isn't good enough to warrant another purchase of the game.
