Congrats Bioware. You've now added a potential 24 million console owners to the possible people who will buy your games.
And that's good business.

BioWare Will Continue to Make PS3 Games
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Not to be a jerk or anything, but... little mistake here.
Also, I'm not all that thrilled. If they said they'd be making PS3 exclusives I'd have something to care about.
This will go one of two ways - either Microsoft will buy the rights to Mass Effect, getting BioWare money, or BioWare will release Mass Effect 1 and 2 as a "The Story So Far..." collection on the PS3 (maybe even on one disk? See if something can actually use Blu Ray technology!) at some point before Mass Effect 3 comes out, getting BioWare money. Either way, BioWare wins, so it's just a case of whether PS3 gamers or Microsoft win too. I don't care either way, Dragon Age was faaaaaaar better.CountFenring said:
OT - Gabe Newell refutes these claims, declaring that BioWare is wrong, and that the PS3 is actually faaaaar too hard to code for.
I don't see why more companies don't spend the time developing for all the consoles. It all adds up as more sales.
Sonic Chronicles on PS3 yaaay
Yes I am just kidding. Frankly I don't think there is any BioWare game that's actually interested me up until this point (though I may be oblivious to one that I love) but my current RPG stamp belongs to Betheasda.
Still, shine on Bioware, prove you deserve a place in my heart!

I hope to god Mass Effect 3 isnt on the agenda for PS3. I can understand them wanting to attract new players to ME2 who may have missed the first game, but trying to attract new players who missed the first two acts of a trilogy? Just cut the balls off the plot and throw it in the bin in that instance, since everything would be neutered to shit to make sure new players "get it". I personally think in such an instance, you have to accept that the ignorant fucks couldnt be bothered with the first two games, so lets make it for the folks who actually *could*.
Hopefully Microsoft made sure the Mass Effect trilogy stays away from PS3 before it went to EA.
Other Bioware titles going to PS3? Didnt mind it when they did it with DAO, so thats fine by me.

Bioware devs have said multiple times on their forums that Mass Effect will not appear on PS3, and the reasoning for that decision being simply that it would be too confusing for the player to jump into ME 3 without being able to play 1 and 2.Chipperz said:
OT: This is nothing, but good news for PS3 owners. Now they can have the awesomesauce that is Bioware RPGs on their console as well!
Sometimes it just isn't economical for them to hire a new team to do it. Although this is great news for all. Means more money for Bioware and that means more games. I hope they keep going multiplatform though. And port the Mass Effects to you guys. No reason why we can't all get along no matter which console we prefer.mikecoulter said:

Well dragons age origins was graphically worse on PS3 so if that is a precedent I don't have high hopes for the future.
One thing that has borne out over and over again, if you are making a game worth playing for PS3, develop it for that platform EXCLUSIVELY. Put all your effort into perfecting the code for that platform and don't try to find the lowest common denominator between PS3, 360 and PC as quality will ALWAYS end up like this:
PC >> 360 > PS3
Take a look at Uncharted 2 and what can be achieved by putting 100% of development effort into the powerful yet difficult Cell Processor.

Personally, I found the PS3 version to be better looking than the X360 version. I actually thought that the X360 version looked like a port, while the PS3 version looked more like a parallel project. Though the difference is not that big, and PC version is still by far the best.Treblaine said:
Also, I find that the quality for cross-platform games usually end up being more like:
360>PS3>PC
Nah, wouldn't work. Maybe if it was set in a completely different time (like, for example, playing as Sagacious Tien) but otherwise, I can't see them doing it without ruining the series.Daedalus1942 said:
