So, Mass Effect 2's coming to the Playstation 3, heh? What a random surprise -__-
I guess it's good news for PS3 gamers. Though not playing part 1 and transferring it's data to part 2 before might be a bit strange...
I for one do not own a PS3, nor would plan on re-buying a game I already have...
But I hope for those new ME-players it will be a good port.
You may already know my stance on various console ports.
Like a little upgraded port or at least an equal port, thanks to the big delay. It better not be a cheap-ass port, a "downgrade", only producers will make profits that way over the enjoyment of the game for the players :/
It will be out in January 2011. I suppose preparing the way for a future multi-console Mass Effect 3 late-2011/earyl-2012?

Anyway, I'm gonna use this port to share out a little opinion.
Why do producers need to de-exclusivise games nowadays so much? Why the multiplatforming?
Well, for money of course, but why is money the only motivation/main aspect of games nowadays?
Gaming's become such a big market/important business now... remember when things were simpler and a bit less hollywood-ised?
Everything multi-console now, to expand the market you know...
I find that exclusive games leave a sort of impact, become bigger classics that way..
You have to own the system, it makes you part of "the club". And console fanboys suck it! They complain for lacking that title? Well buy that system! Or play it at a friend's place, you know, like real life friends right?
Or simply DON'T PLAY it! You aren't forced to play every single game ever made! It's not pokémons, don't try to catch 'em all!!
Aren't games like these above classics by being all-time exclusives, only available for their own systems?
- Chaotix and Tempo on the 32X, Psycho Fox on the Master System, Ducktales and Chip & Dales on the NES, Crash Bandicoot 1-2-3 on the PSX, Burning Rangers on the Saturn, Sonic Shuffle on the Dreamcast, PN03 on the Gamecube, etc..
It's like you need to be a lucky possessor of the system, one of the cool guys who own it, to have the chance to play those!
Well, that's what I wanted to say~
