EA CEO John Riccitiello has revealed that Mass Effect 2 will appear on "multiple platforms" early next year.
"[In Q4] BioWare will release Mass Effect 2 on multiple platforms," he said during an EA earnings call, referring to the fourth quarter of the company's next fiscal year. In non-business speak, that means a January-March 2010 launch.
It's still not clear exactly which platforms the sci-fi sequel will appear on. 360 and PC releases are surely a given, but the big question on everyone's lips is whether it'll hit PS3 too.
In interviews with CVG, BioWare co-founders and co-CEOs Drs. Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk had both dodged the possibility of the series releasing on PS3.
But seeing as the franchise is no longer being published by Microsoft, and based on BioWare-parent EA's multiplatform strategy, we see no reason why the game wouldn't appear on Sony's console too.
about f**king time. loved the first game and can't wait to get back onboard the Normandy. now all we need is some sort of KOTOR3 for consoles announcement and i'll be a happy bunny
It was always coming to PS3, they said it a while back. Though they also said it would be a timed exclusive.
Meh, 360 gets a few off PS3, PS3 gets a few back. Nice news for PS3 owners, not sure if it's something I'd buy myself but I'll definitely keep an eye on it.
360/PC was inevitable, but with EA on board the PS3 is an option as well. Still only showing 360/PC on the homepage, but that could be updated any time.
Since I already own the original on 360, it'd take something REALLY special to make me want to pick up the sequel on PS3. Extra content might do it, but it'd need to be big and it'd need to be free. I'll be keeping my eyes open and waiting for the reviews.
I don't see why xboxers (lol at term) wouldn't be happy, so what if a game's available on another console? I have a 360 and don't give a damn what the eight people who have a PS3 do with their console.
I'm gonna get this on the PC anyways, I've played the origional 360 version and the PC version, PC version is better. If there's ever a good multi-platform game I get in on the PC.*
*Unless it's an EA DRM infected game. If it has that s**t on it then yeah I'll get it on the 360.
My understanding it currently it's just multiplatform in the snese of PC & 360. I don't see how they'll work it, as it's part of a trilogy, and MS (as far as I know) still hold the publishing rights to the original and Bioware have already stated the new game will read your saves from ME 1.
looking forward to it,the original was fun (if flawed).
a bit more variety in the sidequests,less of the explorer buggy trawling through identical landscapes and an experience that changes depending on the route you took through the first one would be welcome additions.
either way the first one was good enough to warrant my interest in a sequel.
Xbox owners should rejoice this news. It means that the series will see itself fully realised with no worries about sales and budgets. Had Shenmue been a multiplatform game not just Xbox and Dreamcast then the series would have been finished. The Xbox version of shenmue2 had a recap of the entire first game and Mass Effect will do the same. M$ may do a deal to have some of the originals playable content to appear on PS3 also as now the series isn't exclusive they have no reason not to make make money off the little exclusivity they still have.
Then the PS3 version just won't read game saves...
So those who got it on the 360 will no doubt get the sequel on it too, same with PC.
Loads of games have been like this, Saints Row used to be 360-only, Devil May Cry used to be only PS2...
Microsoft don't own the Publishing rights now, EA do.
I'm aware of that.
But I don't see the point in releasing the 2nd part of an epic story to a console that people are unable to play the first part of it on.
Maybe I'm not understanding, I know EA own the rights to publish future games, but in business contracts the publusher of a game usually controls distribution rights to that, in this case, MS publishing the first Mass Effect. They spent a lot of money doing so, I can't see them having some clause that allows someone else to stick the first game on a rival console.
The Xbox version of shenmue2 had a recap of the entire first game and Mass Effect will do the same
Aside from the fact that the whold poitn was that decisions you made at the end of the first game, carried over to the 2nd. Bit hard to recap something where there's 2 viable endings, depending on choices you made. My obvious fear is that this will corrupt the 2nd and 3rd games.
I don't give a **** if it comes out on the PS3, the Wii or the NES, my concern is the effect it will have on the game + storyline.
Well i'll be happy once its confirmed since i recently sold my 360 and mass effect 2 was really the onlygame i TRULY wanted as the 1st game is easily one of my favourites this gen. If its all true, i wonder if they'll release the 1st game on ps3 at some point.
Im not suprised if it happens either since its being published from EA who want to release as many mutliplatform stuff as they can. Its fair too i guess with tekken and FF going multiplat too and possibly star ocean and LEFT4DEAD.
I am currently playing through the first one for the first time, after picking it up for the bargain price of Ł7!!!, and I must say it's a top class game, really really good.
Can't see the fact it's coming to multiple platforms is any problem at all, the more people that get to sample it the better surely?

The fact it will be on PS3 means that Bioware can better realise the sequels and their respective storylines. The Dreamcast versions of Shenmue 1 and 2 also had that decision making item gathering cross-over which was lost in the xbox version, and guess what? It's one of the best RPGS ever. The xbox version will be better because of being able to use your old save files so what's the problem? They either will or won't find a way to implement it into the PS3 version but it won't affect you anyway so chill.
Well thats my last reason gone to buy a 360 in the future really, now that mass effect is multiplatform aswell as Bioshock, saints row and not being into Halo at all.
I hope if the original does come to Ps3 then the framerate issues are sorted! I had the first one back when it first came out on xbox but it just got aggravating when you had that and the texture pop in when talking to peole too!
I'm yet to see any p**sed off 'xbots' complaining about this going multi platform.
Rather hilarious when you consider the uproar surround FF13 going multi platform and this is pretty much guaranteed to be better!
Edit: and the wii version, not sure size is an issue as it uses DVDs like the 360. If anything it could be biggger as the lower res graphics etc take up less space.
Whether the wii could cope with everything going on though is a different story.
good news! i dont know how hard it would be to release on the ps3 as it uses the unreal 3 engine that epic worked so hard on to go multi format. maybe mass effect will come to ps3 before the second one is released, who knows! i am pleased they have said when it is due out although i would prefer it to be this year.
Good news. As "starvinbull" says, it'll ensure we get the entire story (unlike Shenmue *sob*), not to mention the fact that it's such a class game, everyone should have the opportunity to play it.
I'm yet to see any p**sed off 'xbots' complaining about this going multi platform.
Don't know about that but I though bruno0091's complaint that it would 'corrupt the 2nd and 3rd games' was a bloody good try. Maybe you just didn't notice it.

Exactly. Maybe on the PS3 version they could use that extra space BR has and put both on there.
First of all, great news. The original was outstanding and I'm sure many PS3-only owners missed out on this gem. However, the news is a little vague. Surely if the sequel is to be released on PS3, the original needs to be ported over as well for it to make sense? If not, then this could simply mean it'll be released on 360 and PC at the same time. Either way, I can't wait.

My complaints nothing to do with it being on the PS3 and more to do with the fact that they might compremise their vision of a vast trilogy, with choices and friendships made in past games carrying over.
Besides which, note my post from N'Gai's twitter. Nothins has been confirmed about it being on the PS3.

Then I really would be jealous - that'd be a frikkin' BARGAIN.

I did notice it, but his final paragraph saying he doesn't care what it comes out on as long as it doesn't effect the story seemed a valid comment. It wasn't the usual "Company X has sold their soul by letting company Y release their game in exchange for the blood of african children" or such similar crap that is often spouted forth on here!
But I guess I don't look as hard for these types of comments as you do voodoo.
I don't think you'll ever see Mass effect on the ps3. Mass effect 2 might be released eventually though.
I doubt you'll need to play the original to allow full enjoyment of the sequel. Mind you i could be completely wrong, the story was very strong in Mass effect.
First of all, great news. The original was outstanding and I'm sure many PS3-only owners missed out on this gem.
Am i the only person who thought that Mass Effect promised a lot but delivered very little? It was a good enough game but I hated the way it loaded in sections and layered the backgrounds. All the planets you could visit all looked the same and driving around the worlds in that buggy... ZZZZZzzz. I don't care what format it comes out on, it would need to improve on the first game alot to get me interested now.

If they do make it on the PS3 I’d imagine they’d tailor the story to some extent to allow for the fact some may have not played it. That or port the first one over. I don’t know why I’m making the same point others have.
I might go back to playing that again, I started a second playthrough but never got round to finishing it. Question is, start a new game or carry on with the same character? Hmmmmmmmmmm
i always knew this was going to happen two superior versions of the game for the two superior platforms(ps3 and pc).and the 360 being left with a inferior version.
Have you not seen how badly ports of 360 games run on the ps3?

Control differences aside, the major differences between Xbox and PC versions of Mass Effect were inventory and a few other tweaks. These certainly made the game more polished, but you are utterly deluded if you think that the 360 version of Mass Effect 2 would have some inferior mechanics 'just for the hell of it'. The ONLY reason this could happen would be that the 360 version comes out a year before a PC/PS3 counterpart.
What is N’Gai’s twitter? Some kind of Japanese starling?
You don't know who N'Gai Croal is? He was covering the conference and posted on Twitter, what I posted on page. I.e EA haven't confrimed PS3 version, just a multiformat release being PC & 360.
If they do Release Mass effect 2 on the PS3 it would be a bloody good idea to get a port of the first out with enough time for people to finish it. Considering how the first one concluded it wouldn't surprise me if the sequel continued right from where the first one finished. More of a part 2 than a proper sequel.
However considering that there were a lot of choices in the first that directly effect major parts of narrative and what characters are still in your party by the end of the game it would be foolish if the second game didn't address this by allowing you to use a completed save data from mass effect 1 to continue with the character you used from the first including aquired xp, party information and character allignment.
This would make a PS3 port of the first pretty essential.
however Sega released Condemed 2 on the PS3 and never bothered bringing out the first and it seems likely that capcom may do the same with dead rising 2. Guess you just never know.
Have a feeling that Mass effect 2 will probably end up a timed exclusive for the 360 reguardless.
If it's coming to PS3 then surely they'd first need to port the original game to PS3?
Xbots won't like this news regardless
Hopefully they wont cry about it like the KZ2 fiasco. I'm all for multiplat in a way as it means more sales and more sales = more funds for sequals new IP's. Although the odd exclkusive on both my consoles is good too
can someone please kill crimbo. if we got rid of people like him then this sites forums might be relitively ok once in a while with meaningful (ish) discussions
Right who guessed the moderators password and crashed the CVG servers?
I think if there are more than five people posting at the same time it crashes the CVG servers (three Vic 20's and an old 386 PC for when they need more 'muscle')!!

Through his Sony branded Rose-Tinted spectacles all PS3 games look way better.
Well thats my last reason gone to buy a 360 in the future really, now that mass effect is multiplatform aswell as Bioshock, saints row and not being into Halo at all.
That is a little unfair, what about Alan Wake and PGR?
See unlike a lot of people I don't see why all games have to be multi-platform, it defeats the object of having more than just one console surely. I think it is a good thing that each console has it's own perks.
It is just EAs greed that has forced this onto PS3. I hope MS unveil some new franchises for 360 this year though.

I am really confused as to what M$ have up their sleeve because this year it looks like nothing bar Alan Wake which could be anything between brilliant and pap. Does anyone know of major 360 exclusives out this year that I have forgotten about?
nothing is confirmed, the actual quote for now was "multiple platforms" that site is just stating the obvious that it will be out on PC and 360 for sure. But with EA now owning this game, a Wii version wouldnt suprise me

Good news for all though. Mass effect rocks!
I'd say there'll be a place holder starting point for ME2 assuming a certain story arc was followed in the first one (like the canon stories from both KOTORs) for anyone on 360 who didn't own that game and compatibility with past saves for others.
Otherwise bioware would be essentially cutting the demographic of 2 down to the people who owned the first game (Like releasing a game solely reliant on a peripheral that didn't come boxed with the console)
This way it could be put on PS3 without the trouble of who has publishing rights of ME1 problem with maybe a few playable chapters to tell the first games story on the disc, like a 'previously on Jack Bauer in Space' bit.
I personally think if it comes to all three platforms will only be a good thing, the first game is one of my favourite 360 games, and given time and the extra money from an expanded audience could put this up there with the great gaming series.
I think if there are more than five people posting at the same time it crashes the CVG servers (three Vic 20's and an old 386 PC for when they need more 'muscle')!!
Read the message on the forums
Oh I see.
I still stand by my comment on the capacity of CVG's 'servers' though!
Does anyone know of major 360 exclusives out this year that I have forgotten about?
I suspect Microsoft are putting a lot of faith in Halo Wars for a start (though I suspect it will be 'meh' personally).
Because I don't own one I try not to sound to negative about the 360 but really if M$ are relying on Halo Alan Wake and a few other minor titles then isn't that effectively a precursor to the next M$ console being just over the horizon. Surely they wouldn't go into 2009 with Alan Wake and Halo Wars being their biggest exclusives.

I think we may just see Forza 3 this year too (well, hopefully).
I'd be surprised if there wasn't a few aces up their sleeves, but there does seem to be a fair bit of exclusive DLC that they're counting on for the first quarter - Lost & the Damned in particular. Race Pro looks pretty good too.
I think I'll have to agree with _Marty_ on the Halo Wars front - it'll sell, sure...but, I doubt it'll set the world alight.
MS seem to have taken to announcing games a few months before the release over the last year or two, take Gears Of War 2 for example, there was whay, 4 months between announcement and release?
Personally I kind of prefer it to having a game announced 3 - 4 years before it ever arrives (FF 13, Killzone, Alan Wake, DNF... ok, ignore the last one)

But when you are talking exclusives announcing many months ahead helps to boost confidence in your system, tattooiing release dates to your arm if needed. What are the 360 owners on this site looking forward to this year?

Ok then, let me ask you - as a PS3 owner, what exclusives were you looking forward to last year?
This year on the 360 i'm mostly looking forwad to The Lost and The Damned and the rest of the Fallout 3 content. I don't know much about Alan Wake but i'm sure it'll be great. We've still got a lot of good multi platform games coming out too. so its not like they'll be nothing to play.
I'm more excited about the stuff coming to the wii though. just in feb and march theres Dead rising, House of the dead and Madworld to look forward to. When they get round to releasing it i'm also looking forward to the port of pikmin 2 as i never got to play it on the GC as well as Metroid prime 2 as at the time i only had a s**tty old tv that didn't do 60hz without going black whiter and rolling the picture. Then theres the conduit and motion plus.
Think i'll be spending most of my time on the wii this year.
Every console has a period when exclusives are alittle thin on the ground. As a PS3 owner i'm guessing you are all to aware of that and this year is definately going to be soys for good exclusive games as last years was for the 360.
I'm yet to see any p**sed off 'xbots' complaining about this going multi platform.

Sorry but you're wrong with that one. Bleszinski confirmed that Gears of War 2 was in the works at the '07 GDC awards. It wasn't even a surprised then saying Microsoft had already said the first game was part of a trilogy.
Am i the only person who thought that Mass Effect promised a lot but delivered very little? It was a good enough game but I hated the way it loaded in sections and layered the backgrounds. All the planets you could visit all looked the same and driving around the worlds in that buggy... ZZZZZzzz. I don't care what format it comes out on, it would need to improve on the first game alot to get me interested now.
probably not but i loved it, definitely my favourite 360 game to date and nothing coming out this year or next has me as excited except hl2 ep 3 if it arrives. i thought it delivered lots with a fantastic story, characters, and sub plots - all staple parts of a good rpg. i have seen similar texture issues on other unreal engine 3 games so i don't know if its limited to mass effect but it was obvious although it didn't impact gameplay in my eyes.
i agree that the planets are a bit samey and the buggy could be annoying but that was usually down to all the mountains. i can forgive this though as it must be pretty time consuming creating a whole galaxy like that.
But when you are talking exclusives announcing many months ahead helps to boost confidence in your system, tattooiing release dates to your arm if needed. What are the 360 owners on this site looking forward to this year?
That would be Race Pro, Star Ocean, Tales of Vesparia, Splinter Cell, Halo ODST, Alan Wake, APB and Forza 3 (hopefully) combined with some multiplatform-games like Bioshock 2 that PS3-owners (like myself) also get to enjoy. More than enough to do on my noisy white box of love in 2009 me thinks.
And don't forget that previous years M$ anounced some nice 360-games for that year at GDC.
you must go to same optician as Ric saying you missed Suivatam109ps3's little trolls.
Oh no I missed one OMFG it's the end of the world as we know it.
Actually like the real Suiv/Tam/Lord etc posts I ignore most of Suivatam109ps3's anyway.
I notice you ignored all the digs at the 360 in this topic. Any reason for that?
Probably because there's a righteous defender like you who feels the need to take up the cause with them. Then again for a guy who ignores them you spend a lot of time replying to them.

And ME2 going multi. its great news for those that only have a PS3.
All that matters is that there is Mass Effect 2.If you don't have it you need to get it.Hopefully for the PS3 only owners then Mass Effect will be ported so you can experience this gaming jem.

Funny part is he is known by a fair few on here as the SDF. Oh I forgot he is one of those impartial ones. I'll quite happily wait for his proof of what he has thrown at me again. Last time we danced for about 6 pages, I enjoyed it don't think he did even with some other SDF members joining in.

oh my put your dummy back in child and you might get the quotes right next time.
Good news for PS3 fans if it is but still I can't help but feel disappointed with Bioware, though this no doubt is down too EA I can only hope that the quality of Bioware's games doesn't drop to EA's cheap standards aswell as them being distibuted to consoles Bioware wouldn't normally look at.

Man, i have added you to my psn tag(thanks for accepting by the way)so what do you think of mgs4,you were playing the game a few days back?
No worries and my thoughts on MGS4 well I had about 4-6 hours on it and it is better than I thought (I only ever enjoyed playing the PS 1 version before). I had to stop as I wanted to finish PoP on the PS3 as I am really enjoying that personally, I also feel the scores and gamers response were unjustified but hey thats life eh.
Then it's on to a few more 360 titles then waiting for Star Ocean, WKC, Drakes 2 and a fair few others, 2009 is loooking like bumper year for the JRPG nuts like me out there. Must admit KZ2 is looking nice no doubt I will pick this up at some point too.
Glad to add sensible people to my friends list. although it is very short.
We will have to hookup on a PSN game as MSoft can go blow me for paying to online game especially if they use a cop out P2P system and not maintain servers.
Good news for PS3 fans if it is but still I can't help but feel disappointed with Bioware, though this no doubt is down too EA I can only hope that the quality of Bioware's games doesn't drop to EA's cheap standards aswell as them being distibuted to consoles Bioware wouldn't normally look at.
Well going by Dead Space (a bloody(pun intended) good game especially in 5.1) that could mean EA is getting back on the right track but who knows what the future brings. I hope they can keep the quality of the story of the first and improve the diversity a bit this time round. Otherwise the first was very good barring the glaring technical deficiencies.
you must go to same optician as Ric saying you missed Suivatam109ps3's little trolls.
Oh how interesting of you Voodoo to say that(absolutely shocking "NOT" )!!!Can i suggest you read the cvg KZ2 review topic,perhaps that will give you an idea of how some Ps3 owners react to an opinion they do not share....

Oh and this latest preview of Drakes 2 on 1up http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3172597 makes this one of my most wanted of 09. I was right about the new girl not being a journo and being handy with guns .
The best thing about MGS4 is I swapped it for that POS FC 2 I got a bargain methinks.
??? explain ???? the only one getting out of their pram is you, surprise surprise. So you obviously cannot find proof of your over exaggerated claims again so you resort to this again. Boring little man.

Thanks Bud,and as for playing on PSN count me in but sadly my PS3 gaming catalog is rather scarce: MGS4,COD4,VF5,R2 and Uncharted.Yeah those screens(Drakes2) are looking the bomb,cant wait to get my hands on it.Might trade in R2 for KZ2 but all wait for the demo to try it out first.If you ever decide to play on Xbox Live i have about 35 games on it, with plenty to play on Live.Also i wish MS will make it free so that more gamers can enjoy playing on it,i doubt is gonna happen thou, non the less i am pretty pleased with it.Cheers
i always knew this was going to happen two superior versions of the game for the two superior platforms(ps3 and pc).and the 360 being left with a inferior version.
Name 3 multiformat games that are better on the ps3. I'll make it easier if you like. Name just 1. While your at it, give me a game that has sold more copies on the ps3. That's right, you can't.
Then the PS3 version just won't read game saves...
So those who got it on the 360 will no doubt get the sequel on it too, same with PC.
Loads of games have been like this, Saints Row used to be 360-only, Devil May Cry used to be only PS2...
Microsoft don't own the Publishing rights now, EA do.
I don't think he was being clear. It is being said that you will be able to carry over your Shepard from the 1st game and also the decisions you made throughout ME that altered the storyline are supposed to carry over as well. At least that is what Bioware were "planning". None of it is actually official, that I know of.
I think this is great news for PS3 owners, I thought ME was a fantastic game. I think they may port the original if any of the above is true.
And of course when they say multiplat they are referring to the PS3. ME was on 360 and PC before, if that is all they planned to continue doing then that would hardly be news worthy.

Mass Effect is my favourite game!!! I suppose it doesn't really bother me that it's goin to PS3, as long as they don't do a Bioshock, and give a big middle finger to 360 owners by giving PS3 more basic and DLC content!!! The word loyalty comes to mind! lol.
And, I suppose more people playing it is more people to talk to about it!!! Can't wait to get my hands on it and knock some more Geth on there Synthetic bottoms!!!
EA has confirmed that "multi-platform" is referring to the exact same thing that happened with the first Mass Effect:
* Xbox 360
* PC
The Playstation 3 will not see a release of Mass Effect...and even if it did, it wouldn't have any effect on the Xbox 360, because history has proven countless times that the Xbox 360 versions of multi-platform games are virtually always either "noticably" or "significantly" better than the Playstation 3 versions in terms of graphics and online features.
An 8 million plus unit lead and growing. Bioware has a contract with Microsoft and that contract passes to EA after they were purchased. Microsoft has stated that they will secure the franchise and I'm sure they wont just let this thing slip. It's a major Action RPG on their system that has no equal on the PS3. They had to work out a deal with Microsoft just to publish the first one on the PS3.
