Mass Effect PS3 enjoys 'visual changes'

Bioware has revealed that Mass Effect 2 is likely to see some "visual changes" on PS3 - and will "play differently" to the 360 version of the game.

The game, which will be released on Sony's console in February next year, will include a yet-to-be-detailed intro, which will allow PS3 owners to catch up on Mass Effect 1's story.

Bioware founder Greg Zeschuk told PSM3 that the studio has had to tackle a graphical processor which is "all different" on PS3.

When asked what PS3 brought to Mass Effect that 360 couldn't, Zeschuck said:


"The important thing is that, fundamentally, [PS3] has a very different architecture. Visually, there are probably some changes - I mean, there are differences in the way the memory is allocated, and the graphical processor is all different.

"We're not going to get pulled into the argument over which is the more powerful; at the end of the day, they both are, and we can do whatever we want on them. When you create games, you want as many people as possible to play them, so this is a great opportunity to reach a huge segment of the market. 

He added: "It think it will play a little differently. I mean, right from the start, you have a different controller, and that alone will change the way the game feels."
