Mass Effect 3 PS3 vs. 360: 'You won't see a difference' say BioWare


BioWare has told CVG that should you compare the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Mass Effect 3, you'll notice "no drop in quality".

In fact, the studio believes that you won't be able to tell the two apart, thanks to its strict adherence to creating all three versions of ME3 - 360, Ps3 and PC - side-by-side.

Mass Effect has a slightly patchy release history on Sony's console. The first ME game, released back in 2007, never appeared on PS3.

The multi-award winning second title in the series was released for the format in January this year - 12 months after it appeared on 360. The Blu-ray version contained an introductory cinematic to bring PS3 owners up to speed on events from the first game.

Discussing Mass Effect 3's arrival in March next year, BioWare marketing boss David Silverman told CVG: "This is the first time that all three platforms have shipped at the same time and it will be an amazing adventure whatever platform you play it on. I don't think you'll see a difference between the Xbox version and the PS3 version. There's no drop in quality on either."

Mass Effect 3 takes place after the events of the second game. Its action-packed story sees ancient alien race the Reapers return, launching an all-out attack against the rest of the galaxy - starting with Earth.

Silverman added: "People tell us we're amazing storytellers and we hope we are. We know we can't give you all-out galactic war by cheaping out on the action. It needs to feel an epic war against insurmountable odds. That's what makes the story even more emotionally engaging."
