Bioware to develop for PS3 in-house
Posted on November 27, 2009 by Darren
 

BioWare plans to do PlayStation 3 development in-house from now on following the positive experience it had working on the console version Dragon Age: Origins (you'll find our review here).

"We think it's one of the key platforms, obviously, so we're definitely going to be doing PS3," BioWare final boss Greg Zeschuk told Joystiq when asked whether the studio would take control of PS3 development itself.

"You know, I can't say anything about Mass Effect in that regard but you know, I can definitely say Dragon Age and other things we do will definitely be on PS3.

"It was great going through the experience of making Dragon Age, getting familiar with and understanding the PS3. Again, every platform is different, but now I think we're at the position where future PS3 stuff will be really solid."

Pushed on the issue of Mass Effect 2 for PS3 - the game has only ever been announced for PC and Xbox 360, for which it comes out on 29th January - Zeschuk deflected. "We're not saying anything about Mass Effect for PS3. I don't know anything about that! That's crazy talk. I don't know anything about that," he joked.

 

Obviously this news will now bring more rumours of Mass Effect coming to the PS3, and after playing the PC version I really hope the game does eventually make it's way to the PS3.

It really seems like Mass Effect is coming to PS3, after timed exclusivity with MS. Bioware refuse to deny it, and they just say "we can't talk about it." Even Bioshock devs denied that the game would come to PS3, and it came. Shows that the PS3 is a huge market for devs now, and they can't afford to not develop on it any more.

Here is a quick prediction that I hope comes true... if they were releasing on PS3 only Mass Effect 2 I don't think they would be so vague. I think they are planning a release of both on PS3 and until things are closer they don't won't to anounce anything official
