Bioware יצאו היו בשני ראיונות וציטוטים מענייננים מאוד ביחס לפס3.
הראשון עוסק בהתלהבות הרבה של Bioware לפתח את Dragon Age לפס3. הם עצמם מרגישים שלעומת ה-360 הפס3 היא אניגמה במובן הטוב של המילה, וההתלהבות בצוות היא עצומה. כולם פשוט מתים לראות מה עוד אפשר להוציא מהקונסולה המדוברת של סוני.

ההתלהבות הינה מובנת לכל הדעות מאחר ובחמש השנים האחרונות לפני שנרכשה על ידי EA Bioware התעסקה עם שוק הפיסי והאקסבוקס בלבד. למעשה, מצויין בכתבה שMDK2 לפס2 היה הכותר האחרון אותו פיתחה החברה לשוק של סוני.

	BioWare, the developer of Mass Effect and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, is “really pumped” to be working on the PS3 with the upcoming multiplatform fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins. The game is BioWare’s first for Sony’s console. Last generation, the EA-owned developer made only a single PS2 game: third-person shooter MDK2. Speaking to VideoGamer.com, vice president of entertainment and miscellaneous at BioWare, and vice president of Electronic Arts, Greg Zeschuk, said that the team’s found developing on the PS3 “exciting”, and even has its advantages. “It's been interesting,” he said. “It's actually been quite good. We discovered a couple of things we did were pretty beneficial. We have multiple threads going for the game and it looks really great on the PS3. You can just throw them on all different processors, for example. “It's new. Because we already had experience on 360, that kind of got ahead a little bit, but now we pretty much caught up. Actually it was very exciting. People on the team were really pumped to work on it. They were like, wow. We have a lot of people that like doing new stuff and trying new things, and they were like, wow another platform, can't wait! It's been good.” Zeschuk added that BioWare’s previous commitment to Microsoft’s consoles was a result of having worked with the US company for five years. “It's going to be exciting having a PS3 game out finally. We only did one PS2 game – MDK2 on PS2. It's not like we have anything against Sony by any stretch. It's just that from a publishing perspective we worked with Microsoft for five years - that made it so easy to focus on Xbox and we didn't have to worry about the PlayStation platforms. But now, since being part of EA, it just makes complete sense. It's something we're totally behind.” Some developers have criticised the PS3 for being too complicated and difficult to develop for. During the first 18 months of the console’s life gamers suffered from poor-quality ports of multi-platform games, especially on the graphics front. Sony Computer Entertainment’s current Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer admitted earlier this year that the PS3 was “hard to program for”, but said it was a deliberate move in order to ensure that “the hardware has a lot more to offer” farther down the console’s life cycle. Zeschuk, however, said BioWare was not only getting to grips with the console, but discovering its advantages. “It's not bad actually,” he said when asked about development struggle on the platform. “It's funny, we had extra graphic memory left over on the PS3. We were like, wow! So we actually started putting some of the audio bits in there and stuff. It's a function of effort. Overall, pretty happy with how it's turning out.” Will the graphics be exactly the same on both consoles? “Oh yeah. I can't say absolutely for sure. There will be elements that will be better... the actual graphics hardware is different on them, so one may be brighter than the other, but definitely the content will be absolutely the same.” So there you have it PS3-owners. Looks like BioWare’s first effort on your console won’t be a substandard port.

מהכיוון השני של המתרס אתר Joystiq החליט לנסות ולהוציא את האמת בדבר מאס אפקט 2 והפס3.
התוצאה: Bioware שחררו לאוויר את הפצצה הבאה:

	ציטוט:
	We've been doing a lot of wondering about BioWare lately: wondering what the company is going to do with the Wii; wondering what our saves from the first Mass Effect will do to the sequel. But most of all, we've been wondering if Mass Effect 2 will be making its way to the PlayStation 3, like its dragon-infused brother, Dragon Age: Origins. So we asked BioWare's Matt Atwood directly about the possibility of the game coming to PS3, to which he responded, "We've only announced 360 and PC. At this point we're really focused on those platforms." We understand, Matt, but what about the intellectual property itself? Does EA own the Mass Effect name? "Yes. EA owns the rights to Mass Effect." And so, as far as exclusivity between Mass Effect and Microsoft, that doesn't exist? "That's right," he told us.

Bioware (או לחץ מידי EA) כנראה הרגישה כי הדברים יצאו קצת משליטה והחליטה לנסות ולשמור על ענן המסתורין בסוגייה ולשמור על הסטטוס קוו עם מייקרוסופט נכון לכרגע בנוגע לכותר המדובר:

	ציטוט:
	Update: Matt Atwood at BioWare just contacted us to clarify his statements from earlier today regarding Mass Effect 2's exclusivity to Xbox 360 and PC. He says, "It [exclusivity] actually does exist for Mass Effect 2. And beyond that, we haven't announced any plans."

אני לא יודע מה קורה כאן, אבל Bioware ממשיכים עם הפגנת האהבה שלהם כלפי הפס3. באמת, זה כבר מביך. ועכשיו? Bioware מרגישה צורך לתקוף את אקטביז'ן על הדברים הקשים שהם אמרו נגד סוני ולכנות את ההצהרה שלהם - "מטופשת".

דייי... אני כבר מסמיק:
Greg Zeschuk, co-founder of BioWare, has branded Activision's comments over ceasing support for PS3 "silly", acknowledging the importance of the PlayStation name.

"I don't think it's really fair to poke fun at Sony," Zeschuk told CVG. "Certainly the Wii's been a massive success and Sony's probably not going as fast as they thought it would be but I think that they're starting to make the right moves and the software's coming along.



"I think it's silly to be saying you're not going to support Sony. The brand itself is still huge and there are millions of [users] out there."
