Mass Effect 2 X360 exclusive for at least a short period of time

[Zeus]

It seems as though Bioware are planning to keep its Mass Effect trilogy Xbox 360 exclusive. "I believe we'll be Xbox 360 exclusive for at least a short period of time" BioWare senior manager Matt Atwood said talking about Mass Effect's sequel release plans. He also said that we can expect a PC version of Mass Effect 2 after the exclusivity deal ends on the Xbox 360.

"We're still working out the details on that, but we've had a great relationship with Microsoft and done very well."

And after the exclusivity deal ends on 360, it looks like it's (expectedly) onward to PC for Mass Effect 2: "I think you'll see a PC version not too far away," said Atwood, confirming that the sequel will also be making its way to mouse and keyboard users.

"We haven't solidified the plans yet but we're headed in the direction where we want to be as close as possible [on PC]," he said.

I give it 6 months, like the first Mass Effect game. That's suitable to me. I'll buy it for the 360, play it, beat it, play it again, beat it again, and trade it in before the PC version comes out.

6 months is reasonable.

I absolutely loved first Mass Effect.

True, it could have been better, but the cinematic feeling of it was worth every hour spent with this game.

Of course, when it comes down to the PC release some months later we will definitely see piracy as being the cause of poor mass effect 2 sales for the PC. :rolleyes:
