Bioware Don’t Rule Out A Playstation 3 Port Of Mass Effect

Mass Effect May Not Be Announced For Playstation 3, But We Have A Suspicion It Will Be One Day.

Mass Effect May Not Be Announced For Playstation 3, But We Have A Suspicion It Will Be One Day.

One of the few XBOX 360 semi-exclusives (it’s on PC too) we’d love to play is Mass Effect. Alas, developers Bioware are always quick to avoid the question of a PS3 port. Take for example Ray Muzyka’s comments over at CVG.com. When quizzed about why the developer chose to not bring the game to the PS3, Ray said:

“I think a more accurate way to frame it is to say we’ve announced we’re developing Mass Effect for 360 and PC. Right from the beginning we said we wanted to deliver Mass Effect on the 360. Right now all we’ve announced is we’re working on 360 and PC.”

So he didn’t answer the question then. A hint that it’s going to come to the PS3 in the future?

“We haven’t announced anything on that front.”

Hmm. It’s a no. But it’s not a very convincing no now is it?

    Also it's strange how every time they get asked about it the answer "Right now we are working on the PC and 360 versions". It's never a direct 'NO!'. I think he case is that EA had to agree that Mass Effect will remain a timed exclusive. It seems wired cuz EA owns Bioware and every one of their IP lock, stock. EA are not very well known for playing favorites. i must say out of all the various publishers EA has really been the one to not play favorites no matter how much money MS waves in front of them. But I could be wrong. As of now I think Mass Effect will remain a 360, pc exclusive, but for how long? Personally I think its more likely we'll see a ps3 Mass Effect them a 360 MGS 4.

    Aye I dont care if it takes them a year to get it to PS3. I almost bought a 360 just for Mass Effect. Hopefully it will make it Sooner rather than Later.

    Kinda odd they get coy every time someone asks them about that subject.
  • Agreed. And you're right, this isn't just a one off. It's everytime the question is raised. I suspect that there will be a PS3 announcement coming at some point. It may be that they port Mass Effect 1 to the PS3 around the time Mass Effect 2 launches... So PS3 will be one game behind.

    It has to be happening though right?
