Mass Effect Will Be PS3, Eventually

An interview with Computerandvideogames.com(CVG) and Bioware's Ray Muzyka has left speculation wide open that Mass Effect could be coming to the PS3 after all. The interview, which goes up later today, has a section all to itself on CVG's website where the Bioware CEO defintiely does not rule out the possibility of Mass Effect coming to the PS3, nor does he rule out that it is not already in development.

When quizzed on why the developer chose not to bring the series to PS3, Muzyka said: "I think a more accurate way to frame it is to say we've announced we're developing Mass Effect for 360 and PC. Right from the beginning we said we wanted to deliver Mass Effect on the 360. Right now all we've announced is we're working on 360 and PC."

This is very exciting news for people who are single console owners looking to get into a critically acclaimed title that is exclusive to the 360. I am looking at getting an Elite when the price drops and I have the extra cash and this is one of the games I will definitely be picking up. Both ME and ME2 have been on my radar since they were announce, and is one of those games that pains you to have only one console. With the changes that are being made to ME2 looking incredible and adding even more depth to the series, it's one of those games you just have to play, like Bioshock.

I know a lot of people pegged Mass Effect as a series making the eventual jump over to the PS3, and Ray Muzyka has definitely talked about how much they like working on the PS3 with Dragon Age: Origins, it seems like a no brainer. The rest of the interview will be up later today, hopefully there will be more exciting news to come out of it. Stay tuned and feel free to comment.

Big New For Me

So if you check the comments here you would have noticed a job offer last week. I was shocked to see it and extremely excited at the same time. I will in fact be taking up this position and will plit my time between this and that trying to offer different content but will almost always link back to the content on the website as it will take more of my time. The website is great and it will be evolving into an even more spectacular site in the near future which makes it even more exciting to be a part of something, which in all honesty is just about what everyone these days wants isn't it!? So I will put up the URL of the site as soon as I have some content up over there and by all means I want everyone to become a part of the new site. The light posting days of last week were partially attributed to this change for me and it just being a downright busy week. Keep a look out because we are looking to change the way you get your entertainment fix!

Castlvania Lords of Shadow GC09 Trailer!

If you have already seen the new Castlevania game in action then this won't entirely surprise you. What will though is the stellar vocal talent they drummed up for the game. Patrick Stewart, Robert Carlyle, and Jason Isaacs are the only ones mentioned in the trailer but that is enough, at least for me. You can tell this is a western take on a great franchise with Kojima behind the proverbial wheel. Just watch I have kept you too long already.

Demo Madness on Euro PSN Update!

Those of you who have European accounts, whether in Europe or America should head on over to the Playstation Store for demo's. In no particular order there is a Wet, DiRT 2, Mini Ninja's, and IL-2. That's a lot of demo play! Plus there is a smattering of new trailer content from Gamescom, that is if you haven't seen them online already. Why are you still here, go play!?

Mass Effect 2, GamsCom 2009

There were only small new snippets of info released at EA's preeser since Bioware was discussing two other games along with it. But the info will suit fan's of the series and work to entice new players into the fold.

First and foremost they stressed that your party needs to be carefully thought out, and the way you treat the members of your team as it affects not only the game as it plays but it will affect you in the end as well. It literally means life or death for Sheppard. If he is dead by game end then he is dead, and I presume that to mean he won't be a playable character in the next game.

They showed the Omega Mining Satation which looked very, very nice in presentation. Surrounded by asteroids and meteor rock, it looked dark and formidable in the dust, with it in front of the sun hiding light and creating shadows. They are obviously taking every single detail into account and want players to be even more immersed in the world this time around. That immersion was present in the two other games shown, Bioware is aces at what they do for sure.

The last thing was a new character called a Grunt, pretty simple. They stressed his strength and aptitude for violence and unpredictability. He is a fierce looking character, as you will see from the screens I have below.

All said Mass Effect 2 is shaping up to be a better ride through SciFi gaming than the first and should be eagerly snatched up by veteran and new players alike. Check the screens and feel free to comment!

Final Fantasy XIV Footage From the Floor
