Yes the Trophies are the same.
Seriously, this is the longest install I've ever had. At least 40min.
The info on the box is incorrect: 4272MB install size.

Wow, these are beautiful.
Glad PS3ers can enjoy such a great game. Bitter disappointment can come later (at least if you're just getting into the franchise), but for now, it's good to enjoy the wonders of the galaxy.
I sure wish they ever return to the actual space exploration. One of my favorite feelings this gen.
My copy of the ME Trilogy (EU version) just arrived:
ME1 has a mandatory install (says 3566MB on the back) and is taking rather long.
Sadly no manual. Just the usual 5 pages black&white with security and health informations etc.
I can make screenshots when the install is complete47%
Soon as you start playing it, you gotta report on how it looks and performs. I know it's probably crazy to think it could run any better than the xbox 360 version, especially after the PS3 versions of ME2, and ME3...but I can dream.

Bummer. Thanks for the confirmation. I hope you get a chance to post your impressions of the game performance after you finish Eden Prime.

ME1 is retail? Didn't know, thought it would be a download code in the trilogy.

How so? Do you think ps3 owners will hate it?

Nice, if you post any screenshots I will stick them in the the first post seeing as they seemingly haven't released any official ones, lol.
Damn, same trophies, well that is going to be a pain if only for having to spam the biotic ones, lol.
I'll stick the extra info in the first post too, are there any hidden trophies or could you take a picture or list of them all and which are bronze/silver/gold?
And damn, big install.
We've known for a couple weeks that each was its own disc in its own box.
Unfortunately I have an appointment I have to go soon, therefore I won't be able to play further than Eden Prime right now. But I will in a few hours
At least up to Eden Prime I didn't have any texture pop-in problems (just for a split second when you see Eden Prime for the first time) and the performance feels smooth.
Graphics seem on par with the other versions. Shadows sometimes flicker or look rough on faces but I remember them being quite bad on the PC version and they are by far not as bad on the PS3 version and the flickering only appears sometimes, most of the time they look fine.
Just some quick screenshots from the beginning. The first image has the rough shadows on Joker, on the second image they are fine

The skyboxes really are just so beautiful, so fantastic. They make me want to live in the world despite an impending Reaper threat. ;_;

I guess that explains why Gamefly isn't carrying the console versions.
The standard control is aim/shoot on L2 and R2 but you can change this in the options.
In the graphics menu film grain and motion blur can be deactivated.
Quit to main menu is hidden in the options menu, not directly at the normal menu you get with pressing Start.
I'm not sure but I haven't found how you can map powers on more hotkeys. Just R2 (R1) instead of L2,R2 and Triangle (that's already used for medi-gel healing) as in ME2/3.
some more images (this time without film grain) before I have to go

Oh, didn't notice in the hectic. They are downsized, not native res.
I'll make proper ones when I'm back. Sorry

Haha no need to be sorry
I just saw the images were at like 1100x600 and I was worried they'd lowered the resolution for this port.Oh, didn't notice in the hectic. They are downsized, not native res.

I'm wondering if the "mini games" are from the 360 or PC version? I'm also curious to see if they actually used the PC options to command your allies or if it's like on the 360.

Looks just as crappy as my XBOX version, just going from memory. I wonder if DF will do a writeup.
Probably. We'll see.

Looks good to me. I`m excited. Already sent a message to copycat asking where he got this so I can too.

All I want to know does the first one screen tear? The others don't, but the first one did on the 360. I hope its vsynced.

I loved that about the original Mass Effect
Going by the typical conversion on other PlayStation Store games, if it is indeed $14.99 when it arrives later in the US it should be £11.99 for the UK, on an extra good store day we would get a plus discount too, but I doubt it.

i know that feel bro
Thankfully, I am secure enough in my love for the game that I can get over PS3 players hating it. I already accept that the consensus is that ME2 is the crown jewel of the series despite my disagreement with that idea.

Why do you think PS3 gamers won't like it? Technical issues? The 360 version was a technical mess as well. Didn't stop most people from appreciating it though.
Like on the 360. The port is based on the 360 version as far as I know. Interface is the same as well. Not the one from the PC version.
I didn't see any tearing. I would suspect it's vsynced.

Its the gameplay. ME1 just feels like a different game than ME2 and 3. Not that people who have played 2 or 3 wont like it, just that they might be surprised by how different it feels compared to the other 2.
Here a few native res imagesHaha no need to be sorry
if someone wants to count pixels ^^
That's pretty good. Really looking forward to finally playing this.
Cheers for letting me know.

Thanks, ordered it on newegg. I have other games to play while I wait.
That's how it was on Mass effect 1. Only one power is hotkeyed so you're in the radial menu more often in this game.
It's not a problem, only way to do it. I've been doing the same thing and plan to pick up all Mass Effect on PS3 as well.

Anyone doing a Mass Effect live stream for the PS3 version?
Embargo is over. Looks like it still has issues.

ME1 gets its own box in the trilogy?! Is that the same for the US version?

Dammit. Can't say I'm suprised, but part of me was holding out hope it would be an improvement.

At least no tearing? Texture pop in is annoying as well, but I literally won't play a game if it tears to much.
Shame, these sorts of issues should have been improved not made worse, ME1 loading times were pretty bad sometimes, I dread to think what PS3 version is like, lol.
I can confirm the long loading times. But I haven't had any texture pop-ins and fps-problems so far.
I think only for the EU version. The US version is like the PC and Xbox360 version:

We do and he will, same for any other side things that require a save ME1, Conrad Verner, Captain Kirrahe etc. will now be in the later games.
Longer that the 360 load screens & elevators or the same?
US packaging for the lazy:

Fantastic
Now I just need to decide whether I download it or buy the trilogy over again to have on disc... Assuming it's a decent port anyway.
There is also a bunch of minor ME1 characters that shows up in ME2 that i assume were not there before on ME2 PS3 before the Trilogy package. Like Fist, Helena, that "Thorian Asari", Parsini or the Asari in Virmire before
. Am i missing anything else?
Assuming you don't kill any of them. Should be worth it for PS3 players new to ME1 to replay ME2.
