PS3 Mass Effect 2 - EA offers 'no comment'

[wraggster]

If EA is planning to release a PS3 version of Mass Effect 2, it's keeping schtum.

CVG checked in with the publisher this afternoon to ask if it was keen on releasing a PS3 version of the game, and all we got was a short, sharp: "No comment on that one." Delivered in a polite manner, we may add.

The comment comes after Polish site Kikoo claimed that there is some source code of the PC version of the game that suggests a PS3 iteration has been created.

So the PS3 version's not officially alive, but it's not officially dead. Doesn't do anything for the anxiety, hey PS3 fans?

Windows=1
PS3=8
Xbox360=4

Dunno what its for but shows the PS3 has been either worked on or is being worked on.

It is for PS3, as I was in Future Shop and read the ad it read, 360/PS3/PC.

"Seeking to clarify the situation, a statement on BioWare's forums reads:

The Unreal Engine is cross platform, hence the PS3 code. This was brought up back in Mass Effect 1 days as well.

Mass Effect is for the PC and Xbox 360. LOCKDOWN!

Lockdown indeed. If you check the code for other Unreal Engine games - like Gears of War - you'll find the same thing.

Nothing to see here, people".

I was thinking the same thing, its reference to the unreal engine being cross platform
