EA is Making a Mistake with Mass Effect on PS3
So it was announced this week that Mass Effect 2 will finally be coming to the PS3 in January 2011. EA also clarified that they have no plans to bring the original Mass Effect to the PS3. It is great that PS3 owners will finally get to play Mass Effect, but EA is making a huge mistake by not releasing the first title in the series.
EA has the opportunity to deliver the entire Mass Effect experience to PS3 owners, but they are squandering it by skipping the entire opening chapter. Mass Effect 2 is a great game on its own, but the first game adds much more depth to the characters and overall story. Skipping straight to Mass Effect 2 would be like watching The Empire Strikes Back without having seen A New Hope.
