PS3 only gamers are missing out on a good game but it has its flaws. Hopefully Mass Effect 2 will fix them and then the PS3 gamers can kick some Alien Ass along with everybody else.

It can only be a matter of time before it comes to PS3.

Mind you, are there any Mass Effect fans out there who don't own a 360 or PC?

I recall Bioshock not setting the PS3 world alight. I'd imagine Mass Effect falling into the same bracket.

Oooh, contraversial. Still, even with it's faults ME 1 remains the highlight of this generation of consoles for me. ME 2, looks set to wow me all over again! Can't wait- actually started playing the original AGAIN (playthtough number 5)!!

I can't wait for the sequal but If it doe get released on the PS3 too I might just opt for that version. Mainly because I prefer collecting trophies to achievements. Anyone that hasn't played the original should defo think about checking it out. Can pick it up quite easily for under 20 notes. Bargain.

i'd say that if you really wanted to get MAss effect you'd have it on PC or 360.

Squall you do realise that if they did bring out mass effect on the PS3 the trophies would be the same as the achievements were. except you'd have a tally of how many cups you have instead of a score.

I personally don't see the difference between the two. When did gaming stop having intrinsic value.

Of course a PS3 version is in the pipeline! "Xbox 360-exclusive" nowadays means "including PC and PS3 versions"! Liars!

its no longer owned by MS. so its pretty much a given. Works both ways now. Unless a game is bankrolled by either MS,Sony don't expect it to stay exclusive.

only Console which seems to pull 3rd party exclusives off these days is the wii. For obvious reasons.

It would make sense to start with the first game obviously, it's not like Dead Rising where the plot doesn't really matter, the fact that your choices carry over the games is crucial to the series.

Still, they should go for it, Mass Effect deserves to be played by as many people as possible, my favourite RPG this gen (last gen's being KOTOR, of course).

I think Mass Effect is one of those games that is so good that 360 owners wouldn't begrudge it being on other platforms - everyone should get a chance to play it...it's the same as BioShock and Braid (although, I've not actually played that one myself).

It'd be a shame if they only released the second chapter onwards, it's a great story that needs to be appreciated.

I'm proud that my copy of ME is pre-EA Smile

But it's not shocking that a multiplatform release is on the card, since EA like to milk everything they can from the companies they own.

Thing is, if PS3 owners get the original and the install means it doesn't suffer from the texture pop-in and frame rate issues it did on 360, are Xbots going to complain they got an inferior version? Smile

If i'm honest I wasn't big on ME1. I'd be willing to at least try ME2, though. If it doesn't get a no-strings-attached (ie, Microsoft exclusive DLC) PS3 release then I might pick up the PC version.

Same here, I was really looking forward to ME but thought it was disappointing overall. Great idea let down by some serious technical issues. I'll wait to see if ME2 can change that.

Odd. You two sound exactly like I do about Fallout3. I suppose, judging from what you've said, that the key might be just how much we look forward to or expect from these games. As a huge Falloutand F2 fan I expected numver three to be an amazing amalgam of FPS and RPG with the current tech. Sadly, I felt it just didn't deliver and , again, tech issues really hurt it.

ME, however, was different as I went in just expecting a decent game and the elevators apart(and I guess the "cover" system)found it a great game and the best I played on my 360(s). PS3 only gamers may well get 1 and 2 bundles on one disc after DA and ME2 are done. Bioware havereally been laying on the "we find PS3 dev easy" stuff thick lately and with EA always lurking for the cash I'd expect something next year.

@mastiffchild
I felt like that about FO3 as well. You might be right about expectations, too. I remember Assassin's Creed, when it got more hype than god so I bought it and...
We all know how it turned out. Haze is another example that bitterly disappointed many PS3 owners. Four very different games all let down by the similar issues (high expectations & bugs).

Mass Effect is own by Bioware and Bioware is own by Electronic Arts never Microsoft. And Gran Turismo which is made by the talented developer at Polyphony Digital a Sony company and MotorStorm made by evolution studios is also own by Sony. So there's no chance is HELL you will ever see this masterpieces on Xbox 360. Only on PlayStation. Xbox is dying no new IP aka games.

Nice. I've been playing this to death on my nephew's 360 over the last 2 weeks whilst saving money to get my blown up PS3 replaced. What a game. I'd definately buy an xbox just for the 2nd!

Its one of the few 360 games I'd like to try on my PS3 (this and I'm ashamed to say Gears of War is the other but I know thats not gonna happen).
I hope they bring out a special edition with both games on one disk, how could you not get it?

Mass Effect 1 was PUBLISHED by Microsoft Game Studios not owned,and will also be the case as to why i don't think number one will be on PS3

i can certainly see mass effect 2 and 3 coming to PS3 because EA have bought Bioware since the first one was released

and Dragon Age is coming to the PS3 in November,so Bioware is a PS3 bound company now

It's coming to PS3 ever since Bio Ware has been willing to give Dragon Age to PS3. Very Happy
