EA could double their money if Mass Effect 2 was also released on PS3 and PC. Why would they want to make it as an Xbox 360 exclusive when they could devote those resources towards a multi platform release (like say, the LOTR RPG?)? I don't think that anyone at EA wants Bioware to have to drop their latest brain baby on the head, but hopefully that means that they'll negotiate with Microsoft to get the multiplatform rights released, instead of selling the IP to MS and working on something else, or, for whatever reason, have Bioware make it as a 360 exclusive (highly unlikely given that EA is a multiplat publisher).
This is one of those things where it will take time to see how it gets sorted out (but hopefully it ends with me being able to play ME2.Or an LOTR game from Bioware.
).
Saying "They get money out of Microsoft" means Microsoft is giving them money. For Microsoft to give up their publishing rights for the first three games, EA would need to pay Microsoft money.
looking forward to be buying this on PS3... i mean Xbox 360
I never heard people having issues with teh controls as far as teh MGS games. It was always the story. I thought MGS2 and MGS3 had great controls. They really switched up the gameplay in MGS3 while still keeping it familiar. I hope they dont mess too much with that formula bc it worked.
Everyone knows that Microsoft signed a three-game deal with Bioware for Mass Effect just like they did with Epic for Gears of War and Silicon Knights for Too Human. In the same way as the buyout isn't keeping Bioware from finishing it's deals with LucasArts and Sega, it's not nixing the deal with Microsoft either.
