These are the things people (including myself) are looking for in the PS3 port of ME2:
A quality way of introducing the ME universe and backstory.
A quality port thats at least on par with the 360 version.
Uncompressed cutscenes.... as Kevin Buttler would say; come on... what is this? DVD?!
All DLC on the disc. No codes, tokens, massive downloads or other loop holes for consumers. I think people are far more fond of this set-up for various reasons.
If these things are nailed the product should sell itself. After all the game is of the highest standard anyway.

I hope this DLC isn't exclusive.
Exclusives are stupid, exclusive DLCs are beyond that.
And I'm certainly not buying the game a second time to prove their point.

Well, I will probably buy it a second time... to get the PC version

It is very unlikely.

The transferable save malarkey means jack diddly squat from ME1 -> ME2.
You don't keep items, armours, weapons etc. Just the choices you made are reflected upon for 5 minutes in ME2 which to be honest is a huge disappointment. Just play the first on PC then start fresh on ME2 if you must.

Does anyone know if the heavy weapon pre-order guns will be in the PS3 version?
Wouldn't it be easier to just port the first game then to make a brand new interactive comic?
Just make something like a Mass Effect collection or something that include both games. That way, the game + extra content will justify the $60 price tag (when Mass Effect 1 and 2 are already $20 each on 360).

ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I'm interested in playing this game, although I might get it when it goes on sale.
They didn't do much in SO4 international; they made it "international" (J/E dubs, multilingual subs), they rearranged some chest items, and balanced out Reimi (she was a very strong in the 360 version due to her crits).

The original Mass Effect was published by Microsoft. It may be out of EA's hands.

I like all of that extra, free content.

Wouldn't that depend on the details of the original contract with Microsoft? Not all exclusivity contracts are the same.

The original Mass Effect on the Xbox 360 was pretty bad but Mass Effect 2 ran at a pretty solid 30 fps on the console. On a modestly powered gaming PC, both games could be maxed out and hit 60fps easily.

Hence why ducky used NGS as an example. It's the same deal with Gears, but MS is holding onto Gears with ironclad claws whereas they weren't willing to hold other 3rd party franchises exclusive like ME and Bioshock.
Beer Monkey said:
Sure, that's possible. But realistically, if Bioware had a really good reason to want to release the original game on the PS3, they can definitely find a way. The logical answer is that it would be more effort than they find worthwhile, especially since the original was already released on both 360 and PC, and more importantly because the sequel is generally so much better than the original. They would basically have to completely redesign ME1 to be up to par with ME2 for it to be worthwhile.

-An interactive comic retelling ME 1, that you will make the key decisions in.
It still kinda sucks for those who haven't played ME 1 for the full experience but for someone like me who has played through it twice this is a pretty cool workaround.

Wow, that's a great game to miss out on. seriously. And there isn't that much fast paced action in the game.TTP said:
But if framerate problems really make you go nuts, you probablt shouldn't
. especially ME1 was horrific in that departement.I NEED SCISSORS

lol at PS3 fans making lists of demands. BioWare don't owe you anything - porting the game to PS3 is a favour. (yes I am butthurt if this is true, even if I do own a PS3)
RedSwirl said:
Well that last point is probably an extra 6-7 hours.
No45 said:
Probably not. There is one file used on the PC version that allows the import, but I'm betting its all behind the scenes on the PS3. It might be possible, but I doubt it because you probably wouldn't be able to tell the PS3 version to look for it.

Finished this last night and loved it! The combat banter happening (between you and Liara in this case) needs to be brought over into ME3. Not sure though, but I did this before suicide mission and I think the dialogue is different.
She was worried I wouldn't make it back.

Im pretty sure Microsoft owns the videocontent too. Making an all new comic is the fastest and cheapest way to show the previous events.

Yes, now that I no longer have a 360, this will hold my ME cravings over.

It's possible they could release more Cerberus Network content post-PS3 launch.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
charlequin said:
Possible, but I doubt it. Christina Norman seemed pretty sure the Cerberus Networks stuff was done and dusted.
As someone else mentioned, its likely just a way to entice sales of new copies over used.

The comic is better option than playing Mass Effect on consoles - horribly shit framerate.

"Cerberus network" aka Online Pass - biggest piece of useless shit
