http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/500x_me2long.jpg (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2010/02/me2long.jpg)We were inundated with tips this week about supposed "proof (http://www.pushsquare.com/10861/clutching-at-straws-mass-effect-2-source-code-hints-at-playstation-3-version/)" that code found within Mass Effect 2 (http://kotaku.com/tag/masseffect2/) on PC "confirmed" the presence of a PS3 version of the game. It does not.
Seeking to clarify the situation, a statement on BioWare's forums (http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/103/index/925844&lf=8) 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.
