Mass Effect 2.1: PS3 Version of Mass Effect 2 Made Using Mass Effect 3 Engine
How’s that for search engine optimization eh? I should get a Guinness World Record for the most number of Mass Effects in a title. But on to the great news! The PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 has gone gold, i.e. it’s been sent to be pressed into discs and then shipped.
Even better, in a recent podcast, BioWare producer Jesse Houston boasted of some of the improvements they made for the PS3 version, including the fact that they used the graphics engine for Mass Effect 3 to make the port. Massive win for PS3 owners.
Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 drops on January 31, 2011. You can pre-order it at Amazon for $60 (USD).
