Mass Effect 2 PS3 Demo Was An "Old Build"

While Mass Effect 2 looks and performs better on the PlayStation 3 than most late Unreal Engine ports (kudos for doing a good job Bioware), a few people were left deflated by the game's demo after Bioware's proclamations of the game running on Mass Effect 3's engine.

Worry not though, Bioware's Chris Priestly has revealed — as we speculated at the time — that the demo was running on old build of the game: “The demo was, for certification and testing reasons, about a two month older build than the final ‘what you will play when you get it home’ version," he said on the PlayStation Blog. "I think you’ll see that the game is noticeably better at launch.”

That's that then. The game's finally out on PlayStation 3 next week. Good times are ahead for all.
