Anyone else following it? Or rather, anyone else surprised by some of the announcements? I was surprised that Mass Effect 2 was going to the Playstation 3. Discuss Gamescom?
I like to hear a lot about the other companies because Halo is another game. Yes, my favourite, but its one game in a sea of games and some are pretty good. EA is looking strong this year.
Mass Effect 2 going to PS3 was pretty obvious IMO. It had been hinted at for a while, and EA is not a console exclusivity company. This can only lead to good things, and will allow one of the greatest franchises in gaming to sell to even more people.
Microsoft seemed to make it pretty clear that the original Mass Effect will never come to PS3. This is from an interview with them: "And the original Mass Effect is absolutely an Xbox 360 exclusive, making Xbox 360 the only place to get the full Mass Effect experience." source
