Microsoft: Mass Effect Not Ideal On PlayStation 3

[Josh123914]

has anybody noticed that this has happened with ME1 too?
here's a little demonstration
ME1 - Xbox 360 only, 6 months later bioware announce it for PC.
ME2 - 360 and PC only, 6 months later they announce it for PS3.
just rinse and repeat for ME3,just replace PS3 with Wii or Mac.

The reason microsoft leaves out the PC part is because the people whom have PCs capable of running it are more or less already "out."

It's not like they're going to go play it on an apple or anything- they're completely removed from the demographic Microsoft wants to worry about. That whole stigma about PS3 having no games is kind of dying, especially since it's carrying more exclusives and generally better rated exclusives than the 360.

And you probably have a PS3 that's still working too.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

Uh-huh, Microsoft, uh-huh. Well, I'm going to keep playing on the PC, where I have better controls for shooting and access to quick save and quick load, which is important for save freaks like me. And I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 version end up having better graphics than the 360 one. Stop talking out of your bum.

 

[teh_Canape]

all I can say is

really? are you surprised?

that's one of the reasons I gave out on the 360, microsoft are just cash whores, I know it's a company, and the idea of a company is to make money, but they just go too far

given the choice of playin mass effect 2, or any game for that matter, on ps3 or 360 i would always choose the ps3. but the pc is still the place for mass effect. i had mass effect 1 on the 360 and my 360 is very very tempremental, im surprised it hasnt exploded yet. in short the 360 i have is wank and does nothin but crash and tell me there is no disk in(this may have soured my view of the 360 but when u pay £300 u expect it to work without crashin every 2 seconds), the ps3 on the other hand is like a knight in shiny black armour riding in to save the day. bioware is doin rite and puttin mass effect 2 on ps3.

They're just saying it because they want all the money from Mass Effect.

Screw you, Micro$oft!

Oops
Edit: A company wants all the money and none for his competiton? Wow how evil. /sarcasm

Why would porting a game like Mass Effect be worse on a console with more blu-ray disc space? Surely they can cram better graphics, more extras etc onto a blu-ray!

Yeah, they're gonna reconfigure and rework the game for P$3 so that they can have marginally better graphics and more content. /sarcasm

It's gonna be the same game, with the same content, with the same story, with the same graphics. You're an idiot if you think they'll do anything otherwise.

it might not look any better but they probably spent alot of time fiddling with it to get the game to
work with the different hardwear(may-as-well seeing as they've had so much time :})

 

[GideonB]

Yeah. Because really Micro$hit you need to say that.
Idiots.

 

[Cyrax987]

I'm glad PS3 owners will get to enjoy Mass Effect 2 but saying the stuff that carries over from Mass Effect or even just experiencing the first game doesn't matter is stupid imo. The first game is what made me happy to see Garrus in the second installment and made me like him so much.

Garrus is the best character ever, seriously.

[Bloodstain]

I prefer my PC, thank you, Microsoft.

Yes I'm not stupid, but with micro$oft it's too goddamed blatent in your face.

Mass Effect is one of the games I'd rather play on the PC.

Besides, consoles are stupidly expensive, and more prone to roll over and die than my PC.

Better graphics has nothing to do with total space available on the disc and everything to do with available system memory. It doesn't matter how many pretty textures you can cram onto the disc if you can't handle it all during runtime.

Square-Enix disagrees with you [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102883-Square-Enix-Scolded-For-Misleading-Final-Fantasy-XIII-Advertising]:

Square Enix justified the advertisement by saying it used cinematics for the advertisement and not actual gameplay, but it did admit it used PlayStation 3 footage. It pointed out that the advantage allowing the PlayStation 3 version to look better were "hardware differences" requiring Final Fantasy XIII to be compressed onto 3 discs for the Xbox 360, but could fit on one disc with room to spare thanks to the PlayStation 3's Blu-ray drive.

Just let it go, MS. Take your foot out of your mouth and let it go.
