BioWare and Microsoft on Mass Effect's future Publisher 'committed'; developer 'love the 360' but will 'see what happens'.

As reported by PALGN, Electronic Arts recently announced their acquisition of games developer BioWare Corp. Under the terms of the deal, EA will obtain the rights to BioWare's science fiction action-RPG Mass Effect, which is set to be published by Microsoft Game Studios this holiday season.

BioWare reiterated on numerous occasions that Mass Effect would be a trilogy of Xbox 360 exclusives. In light of the recent news though, any future release of sequels seemed unclear. However, according to TeamXbox, Microsoft has just provided an update on the situation:

'Microsoft has not yet announced specifics regarding sequels to Mass Effect but we'll be talking to EA and BioWare in the weeks to come. Mass Effect is the most anticipated role-playing game of the season, on any platform, and we are committed to the franchise's long term success.'

You think they will bring ME to the Sony?

no its the oposite of that. exclusivesbrings life to gaming. Sony,MS and Nintendo have something to compete against eachother. they all try to get the biggest and best exclusives to sell their consoles.

and developper studios get a very large amount of money for it to make new great games.

I really dont think they will, but if they do, who cares? Does it matter to you? It shouldnt unless you are some kind of microsoft shareholder. The systems are at the point to where they already have enough user install base to where it dont matter if the same identical games come out for each system, they are both gonna do well enough to the point to where they will not die during this generation, so please people, quite wishing for MGS4 on the 360 and Mass Effect not to go to the PS3, if you really like games, you will go and buy a PS3 or a 360 to play the games. I think people just dont understand how pointless the system wars really are, who cares who wins, we wont know for another 5-7 years and by that time no one is going to care because they will be moved on to the next generation of gaming consoles by then.

Hmm, that is an interesting quote. Does seem like they're not fully committed either way, and after all, they'd make more money by making it multiplatform... I guess we shall see!

umm...I dont know but if I'm correct the game is made by Bioware AND Microsoft Game Studios, I really doubt that a game by Microsoft be released on the Sony PS3. Now if a future sequel is made by EA instead of Microsoft, that's another thing, but I really dont care as long as it appears on 360, the 360 is already 2nd place in the war and it will stay 2nd place until the day the other gen consoles come.

When your a programmer it's really more about the money so why are you guys cash blocking?? It's like having a lemonade stand and your first customer is a latino guy so you decide to only do business with the latino community for the rest of your life. You know there are more people and people equal money.

If you like it for 360, just buy it for 360 and then tell the non-360 owners why its better for 360.

Let the hardware do the fight it out not the developers and teams.

If exclusives kill gaming, what killed the Gamecube?

Also, if MA is going to the ps3, it shouldn't really matter. You like Mass Effect, go get a ps3. You don't like the ps3, suffer. You don't like Mass Effect, don't complain.

Simple really. . .

GOOD i say, I hope bioware gets stinking rich off this game so they keep making more and with due haste. This game has the best created universe in a long time and I really want to explore the hell out of it.

also just wanted to note that I think the days of total exclusives are over for big name 3rd party titles.

timed exclusives will stay around because I think developers would enjoy thebenefitsof focusing on a single platform for the first release. Not the mention the bags of money I'm sure there handed by microsoft/sony

so please people, quite wishing for MGS4 on the 360 and Mass Effect not to go to the PS3, if you really like games, you will go and buy a PS3 or a 360 to play the games. I think people just dont understand how pointless the system wars really are, who cares who winsacidic_dude

1)Buying another console just to play 1 or 2 exclusive games is probably the most idiotic thing a person can do. Even if you have the money to do it, it's still just plain stupid. Hell i have the money to buy a PS3 and play tekken, god of war and MGS, but if MGS came out on another console that would just be a big waste.

2)Quite crying about system wars. Would you rather have a real war? Competition between companies and their products is what keeps them alive. Technically theres a "war" between lots of companies. You see Clean And Clear competing with ProActiv on the ads and hell dont even get me started on cellular and landline phone companies as well as banks trying to get more people to set up an account with their company. If everything was the same, life would be bland. What we have to do is not take things too far and resort to violence.

I'm glad to see more and more people actually hearlding multi-plat releases. I've always believed that third party exclusives should be abolished. The publisher will make MORE money which means BETTER games or sequels if they just released on ALL platforms. Sony is not the dark side and I don't care what anybody says Micro got into the gaming biz last so how do you guys have the right to hate on the other companies when this one is the most "noob" of all? Hopefully they will fix a few things like the pop-up. Really takes away from the game. Here's hopin that every third party will go multi like Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy :)

I really don't mind if the game even finds its way to the Wii... nobody but 360 owners will have the infectious joy of using biotic powers on some random baddie and seeing a achievement pop up :oops: or maybe thats just my sh!ts and giggles
