Mass Effect 2

[El Bastardo]

Haha.

The PS3 cover art for ME2.

Spoiler

I can't wait! I've played ME1 on my laptop at super low res, it will be nice to play the second one on my PS3.

 

[The Hill]

So the stuff I would have to pay for, the PS3 people get for free? A bit unfair, no? I guess it would explain why the game went down in value so fast over the course of this year.

 

[Soapy]

It's perfectly fair. PS3 owners had to wait a year for Mass Effect 2 and over three years to get any Mass Effect love at all.

 

[Cmill216]

Still upset that they didn't just port both games, but I will absolutely pick it up.

 

[The Squirrel]

Well Microsoft still owns the publishing rights to the first one. But hey, it gets us a cool graphic novel intro.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Anymore information on that? Whether they're using the game engine or comic art, who's drawing it if the latter, etc.?

 

[Cmill216]

I'm probably just gonna end up choosing the same options I chose in my original playthrough of ME1.

This is the most information I can find about it:

We've talked briefly about the Interactive Comic. BioWare Edmonton (the group that made Mass Effect 2) teamed up with the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics to create an interactive backstory. While I can't release all the details about this yet, what I can tell you is that we want to create a stunning visual experience that not only tells the core story elements of Mass Effect 1, but also is fully interactive allowing you to be faced with some of the major choices which will have consequences your Mass Effect universe. This interactive comic's initial release will be exclusive to PS3 owners who would be otherwise unable to realize the full effect of choice in the Mass Effect universe and will be included on the Cerberus Network.

The bold and underlined portion makes me think they might release it on PC and 360 later on at some point. Which would be very welcome. I would gladly pay a few dollars for it if I could skip through Mass Effect 1 every time I wanted to start a new playthrough.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ooh, Dark Horse has a solid bunch of talent. Looking forward to what they come up with.

Speaking exclusively to IGN, Electronic Arts has given Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation 3 a solid release date of January 21 18 in North America and January 21 in Europe (that's in twenty eleven, folks). As previously revealed, BioWare is including a gaggle of bonus content with the Blu-ray version, not to mention a brand new "interactive comic" that fills players in on the story of Mass Effect 1. Given what we heard today about Mass Effect 3, we're just hoping everyone has enough time to catch up before a whole new outerspace epic arrives.

 

[El Bastardo]

I'll believe it's ME3 when I see it.

Which is to say, hopefully I'll see it before the UFC event.

Unless Bioware is working on this "new IP" and ME3, the thing revealed tomorrow at the VGA's is ME3.

EA had it on their freakin website! lol

 

[El Bastardo]

Omfg.

Holiday 2011...

 

[Nightwing 52]

Finished the game for the second time with an almost full Paragon meter. Going to replay it again tonight...on Renegade.

 

[SuperJ]

is there any word on whether the PS3 version will support 1080p like the 360 version?

Many PS3 versions of multi-platform games only support up to 720p, while the 360 version supports up to 1080p.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

ME2 picked up some awards from the G4 tv thingamajig, including game of the year.

[Crockett]

Excellent. I've yet to play "Overlord" and "Kasumi" DLC.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

They're actually worth it.

Plus Kasumi's DLC has a easter egg that has a pretty huge ME3 hint in it.

 

[Crockett]

I've been meaning to get it, it's just that I don't have my 360 for the time being.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Well then. Looks like you need to use the best video game console out there...


YOUR IMAGINATION

 

[Erzengel]

I wonder on the PS3 if you choose to be a male Shepard you sacrificed Kaiden and if you are female you sacrificed Ashley.

 

[Crockett]

Well then. Looks like you need to use the best video game console out there...


YOUR IMAGINATION

Pheesh, that sucks.
