Awww... x.X But not the first Mass Effect?
Geez, I'm never gonna convince the friend of mine I've been pestering to play this series for the better part of a year to actually get it.. first no PS3 version, and now no PS3 version of the first game (we're both continuity nuts, it's rare to never we deign to pick up a series in the middle).
I understand why they wouldn't want to put Mass Effect on the PS3, though... even if it is a bloody shame. Even playing it, you can see there are some.. iffy things with how it was put together. Nothing horrific, but occasional little 'bumps in the road' where the game glitches out and does something survivable, but seriously weird, that hint at game coding that'd be a living hell to console-port.
Not that they don't have the money to get it done, I bet >.>; Oh well, maybe if the PS3 port of ME2 does Really well.. or at the least if the PS3 port of ME2, and then the PS3 release of the final part of the trilogy do nicely..
Still, I'd be a bit 'bleh' about only getting to play from ME2, though, what with that meaning you have to start from the True Renegade ME1 ending for what I understand, if you don't load up a previous save.
