Yes, because good companies getting masses of funding is, and has always been, a bad thing. Face it, EA are the good guys now.SantoUno said:
Also, cool. I might try Mass Effect again if it came out for the PS3 (my 360's in my housemate's room, so it's hard to get a decent flow going without being kicked out.)
I love bioware...SantoUno said:
OP: That's good, so my PS3-having friends will play the awesomeness that is ME2...
I Can't wait for that game...Pingieking said:
The FAQ on the Mass Effect 2 site states pretty clearly that it's currently only being developed for the 360 and PC. Even if it was eventually ported to PS3 it would likely take a year plus. There is zero chance of it being released anywhere near the announced street date for the other platforms.
Hell, there are still localizations of the first game that haven't been completed yet.

Ah yes, LittleBigPlanet.sasquatch99 said:
Just kidding man, I think it's cool that it will most likely be heading to the PS3 because it does need better games and what better way to do it than with Mass Effect 2.
Could they put the first one on it though since it was published by Microsoft?
Case in point: they have at least three active major public projects (ME2, Dragon Age: Origins, and The Old Republic), one of which will be perminantly ongoing unless handed off to a new division. Five years ago, they could barely do one at a time.axia777 said:
Odds are that Microsoft has an ongoing deal with either Bioware and/or EA for exclusivity regarding the Mass Effect IP. When the third game comes out (and it will, let's be honest), there will likely either be a PS3 ME Trilogy pack (along with a 360 pack) on sale within a month or year of that final release, whether that would be due to the deal expiring or the willingness to terminate the contract early.axia777 said:
I honestly hope it isn't.
Not because I only happen to own a 360, not at all, if I wanted a PS3 game I'd buy it and play it on my Brother's PS3, like I always do.
No, No.
In honesty I can't explain why I wouldn't want it on PS3, but I simply wouldn't.

No, your argument is flawed. They only PUBLISHED Left 4 Dead for Valve. They do not own Valve at all. It was in fact Valve's decision to not support the PS3 with a port of Left 4 Dead. They are lazy and don't want to learn how to program for the PS3.Psychosocial said:
EA does own every last bit of Bioware and all their intellectual property.
I do on the other hand agree that EA has been doing very good these past couple of years. Good on EA. I would even like to get a *gasp!* job with them now. Even after all this mess.

I have never read that any where. I just know that Gabe Newell said that Valve would never develop anything for the PS3. I also know that since Valve owns Left 4 Dead they get the majority of the profits.Psychosocial said:
But again, EA owns Bioware, so the whole Valve situation is a moot point as it has nothing to do with the Mass Effect situation.
Well, I will try to find the quote from Gabe. But why are you angry? Getting angry over a debate if Mass Effect will come to the PS3 or not is hardly something to get emotional about.Psychosocial said:
Yah, it happened a few months ago. Unless you were being sarcastic. Sometimes I just can't tell over the Internet.TheHitcher said:
My bet is he dropped info that he was not supposed to. I still don't believe him. I think he leaked and it was a fuck up on his part. Now he is back peddling to deny it.ae86gamer said:
I would take your bet but I know better. I would bet because TES: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Sid Meiers Civilization all started elsewhere yet are popular on Xbox and PS3 without porting the elder games. But I'm not because there is money in porting and EA needs that money.axia777 said:
Yes they do need the money. Their stock has been dropping for a while now. My other suspicion is that EA is desperately trying to get out of any agreement that Bioware previously made with Microsoft. I suspect they have a team of lawyers trying to figure out how it could be done.DrunkWithPower said:
As a 360 owner, if MA2 gets ported, I would be happy, because that means no sour-grapes griping from the worst of the Sony fanboys.
