PS3 Owners Can Play Mass Effect This December
PlayStation 3 owners have been waiting awhile to play the first Mass Effect on their console. BioWare said today the game goes on sale through PSN and in the Mass Effect Trilogy December 4, 2012.
Developer Edge of Reality is handling the port of the original Mass Effect. "We worked around the clock to ensure the game performed at, or better-than, the performance metrics that we had from the Xbox 360. And they did it," BioWare said of the team. "Mass Effect on the PS3 runs pretty damn well."
The Mass Effect Trilogy comes out a month earlier on Xbox 360 and PC on November 6. BioWare also clarified the download content that is included with the new bundle:
The PlayStation 3 version of Mass Effect Trilogy will have the original Mass Effect with Bring Down the Sky integrated into the game, both on-disc and on the PSN download. Mass Effect 2 will still have the same DLC on-disc that it was originally shipped with: Cerberus Network; Kasumi; Overlord; and Lair of the Shadow Broker. Finally, Mass Effect 3 will also be exactly as it originally shipped.
The Xbox 360 version will include all DLC that came with the original games – Cerberus Network with Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 remains unchanged as well. The PC is the same as Xbox 360, except both Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station are available for free – just as they are for all PC players who purchases each standalone product today.
