YourNeighborhoodKiller Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 "GameTrailers' Bonus Round segment has become a rather popular online series of interviews where Geoff Keighley speaks to various figures in the world of videogaming. This past episode he had analyst Michael Pachter, Newsweek's N'Gai Croal, and GameTrailers' very own Shane Satterfield. During a discussion about the status of Microsoft's closest developers aborting ship left and right (Bungie, Bizarre, BioWare), the trio agreed that there is clearly a reason why these companies would rather create distance, or be bought out, than work exclusively for the Xbox 360. Interestingly enough, Michael Pachter brought up an interesting point when he stated that EA didn't drop $300M on BioWare and Pandemic only to let them keep working on Xbox 360 titles. No, Pachter claims that EA very likely intends on bringing Mass Effect onto the PlayStation 3, with either a sequel, the original, or both. N'Gai Croal then points out Epic, who is very familiar with the PlayStation 3 architecture, and goes on to state "we pretty much know that Gears of War 3 is probably gonna' come out on PS3." Yes, GOW3, and not the sequel; Microsoft holds Epic to a two-game deal, so the first two will likely remain exclusive, but Gears of War is the intellectual property of Epic Games. So with that said, we can only hope that both predictions are spot-on, as it'd certainly stir up some emotions, on top of giving PlayStation 3 owners two fantastic franchises to experience." Source This was posted 12/17/07, 5 days ago, but it seems pretty good to me. Well I hope this is true, because I wouldn't mind playing Gears of War on my PS3. The first one, and second one is still to remain 360 exclusive. But it is said that the third one is expected to come to the PS3. As for Mass Effect, I'm not too much worried about it, but still wouldn't mind it coming to PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sainraja Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It wouldn't make sense to bring the third to the PS3 if the first two weren't. People who only have the PS3 wouldn't know the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sainraja Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Microsoft needed to secure those, if they didn't, if there is any truth to this story, bring the trilogy over wouldn't be a problem. Nobody would be left out with the story.......but as it is right now.....it probably wouldn't be a good idea. It would increase the fanbase for the trilogy.....but if PS3 owners who haven't played the first, would they pick up the third one knowing they will be missing out on the story of the first two? Basically, Microsoft did not need to secure the third... Edited December 22, 2007 by sainraja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIP YEK NOD Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 did you watch the first two? this is a 4 part series. in the first one, patcher talks like its a fact that MGS 4 is a 6-month timed exclusive http://www.gametrailers.com/bonusround.php?ep=17&pt=1 Konami has said MGS 4 will stay on the PS3 Epic has said the gears of war franchise will stay on the 360 Mass effect is published by MS, MS owns the franchise. enough with this console war pissing contest.
