Geoff Keighley: Mass Effect 2 Will "Eventually" Come To PS3

After EA snapped up BioWare, everyone just assumed that future products from the preeminent role-playing developer would be multiplatform. After all, mega-publishers like EA just don't do "exclusive."

However, neither BioWare or EA has confirmed that Mass Effect 2 would be coming to the PlayStation 3, despite the fact that Dragon Age: Origins most certainly did and BioWare said they would continue to work with Sony's machine. But is an official ME2 PS3 unveiling looming large on the horizon? According to GamesThirst citing a statement by G4 host Geoff Keighley, it may only be a matter of time:

"Now the fact that [Mass Effect 2] is only on Xbox 360, a lot of debate now about whether it makes sense for publishers to make those games exclusive to a platform. I think the game will eventually come out for PlayStation 3 but they just can't talk about it yet."

We've heard similar comments before but does Keighley know something we don't? Perhaps the most telling factor in this debate is the way in which BioWare or EA deals with the question: they almost never deny that Mass Effect 2 will eventually end up on the PS3. They usually just say something like, "no comment" or, "we can't talk about that right now," which has always led optimistic PS3 owners to believe it's inevitable. It really makes very little sense for this hotly anticipated sequel to remain exclusive; EA knows they'd be eliminating around 25 million potential customers. But we'll just have to wait and see...

There's a sticky bro.

I can guarantee that Bioware wont release anymore exclusives, however I dont know what to think about Mass Effect. So far that looks like its staying on the 360 and PC.

er no ME1 ?? um huh

I hope TC gets a big penalty from mods for this.

They closed my thread :cry: and got a warning lol.. anyways this will be closed as well.. sigh the sticky

If this is true, this is the best news I have seen all day!!!!GodofBigMacs

If they do port over Mass Effect 2, they ought to port Mass Effect as well...

He is fail... Mass Effect 2 isn't only on Xbox 360...Vadamee

Awesome sig.

If PS3 is getting Mass Effect 2 it would only make sense to give it Mass Effect 1 as well. Not trying to be greedy or anything here, but from what I've heard Mass Effect 2 isn't as good if you haven't played the first one.

If it happens, I'll have no more use for my 360.

They can't. MSFT holds publishing rights... In my opinion, that is a pretty smart business tactic to solidify the first one so that it makes no sense to release the sequels to a crowd of gamers that aren't privy to the Mass Effect narrative. I'm assuming MSFT holds only the Mass Effect 1 license.Vadamee

I see. That's a potential shame for PS3 owners who, buying the hypothetical ME2 on PS3, never experienced ME1.

Good for PS3 owners I guess. IMO Mass Effect should have been PC exclusive. Thats just me :P

I would love to see a GOTY bluray edition with Mass Effect 1/2 on the same disc. Maybe release sometime in November/Dec.

I dont know if MS still holds rights to ME1. I mean it could just be a time thing. We dont know the offcial deal.

didn't he also say MGS4 would find it's way on the 360? :? Geoff keighley tends to start rumors and false hype in his statements. if EA/bioware were going to port the series to the ps3 they would have ported the first mass effect over by now.lawlessx

hes as bad as HHG

first off Mass Effect 2 isnt 'only on the 360'

second it makes no logical sense for it to come without the first which cant come

It'll come and be on one disc with additional content and lemmings will sob in a corner.Parasomniac

I'm a lemming for sure. But you are the most rediculous cow on Gamespot.

It won't happen unless ME1 goes as well...the PS3 users would miss out on a big part of the game if they were stuck with the default shepard for ME2. The entire point of Mass Effect is to have the trilogy revolve around your character.

Give it up people, it aint happening!

RPGFan: So, Mass Effect, originally on Xbox 360, ported to PC. With Dragon Age, you guys have gone fully multiplatform. Is there any plans to see Mass Effect on PS3?

CH: Mass Effect 2 is just on Xbox 360 and PC. People find that to be a surprising answer. We have exclusivity with Microsoft.
