All signs are pointing to ‘not right now’ on a PS3 version of Mass Effect. The guys over at CVG had a recent interview with the same fella who went on and on about Dragon Age: Origins yesterday and he pretty much gave us the industry standard double-talk treatment.
When he was asked directly why we have yet to see a PS3 version of the game, which became more of a reality once EA bought BioWare, he only had this to say in his defense.
“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.”
When trying to nail down that bit of industry-speak, asking if it might EVER happen:
“We haven’t announced anything on that front.”
Hearing people like this talk this way is enough to drive any sane person completely nutters, but it’s to be expected from a company CEO who wants to keep their options open.
I sit upon my throne as the owner/shogun of this site, WatchPlayRead. But it wasn't always so. I too have had blogspots, I've done other community blogs, I've even written professionally for other sites out there...yet none of them provided the content I had a real passion for.
It is then that I became tired of being a small cog in a big machine, and of writing about nothing but game news after game news article and the periphery that comes from such schlock, like knowing who Michael Pachter and Bobby Kotick are.
I decided to start MediaWhoreNetwork.com and ran up my post count there for about 2 years, commenting about any and everything that I wanted to. I even started a weekly podcast that I feel has come into its own.
It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that having the word "whore" in your URL might be a bit limiting to my potential audience. I then made the website and its branding move over to WatchPlayRead.com.
