lastAvenger Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 We've been doing a lot of wondering about BioWare lately: wondering what the company is going to do with the Wii; wondering what our saves from the first Mass Effect will do to the sequel. But most of all, we've been wondering if Mass Effect 2 will be making its way to the PlayStation 3, like its dragon-infused brother, Dragon Age: Origins. So we asked BioWare's Matt Atwood directly about the possibilty of the game coming to PS3, to which he responded, "We've only announced 360 and PC. At this point we're really focused on those platforms." We understand, Matt, but what about the intellectual property itself? Does EA own the Mass Effect name? "Yes. EA owns the rights to Mass Effect." And so, as far as exclusivity between Mass Effect and Microsoft, that doesn't exist? "That's right," he told us. Looks like Mass Effect 2 could end up on Sony's console after all, eh? http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/08/bioware-...ould-still-com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Interesting. I was under the impression that there was some sort of deal to have the Mass Effect trilogy as a console exclusive on the 360 peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarketTantrik Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I am surprised that he mentioned EA as the owner of the ME IP. AFAIK, EA was no where in the picture when ME was being developed, so there must have been a special deal with EA with respect to the game IPs. Possibly some sort of extra premium on the purchase price to ensure that EA owns the IPs directly rather than through Bioware or Pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 UPDATE: ME 1 and 2 are exclusive to M$ Update: Matt Atwood at BioWare just contacted us to clarify his statements from earlier today regarding Mass Effect 2's exclusivity to Xbox 360 and PC. He says, "It [exclusivity] actually does exist for Mass Effect 2. And beyond that, we haven't announced any plans." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 so will Sony use all the extra money they make from the high price of the PS3 to pay for Mass Effect trilogy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 so will Sony use all the extra money they make from the high price of the PS3 to pay for Mass Effect trilogy? If M$ has an exclusivity contract, no amount of money paid to EA will help. Sony will have to buy the rights for ME 1 and 2 from M$. Imagine the irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
