While PS3 owners were shocked and delighted when BioWare announced that Mass Effect 2 would be coming to PS3, questions remained about what content would be on the disc and how the backstory of Mass Effect 1 would be covered. BioWare Producer Jesse Houston answered a lot of those questions in a forum post.
Firstly I’d like to talk about what’s on the BluRay Disc; Of course Mass Effect 2 will be included. On top of that, Lair of the Shadow Broker, Project Overlord, Kasumi: Stolen Memory and the Blood Dragon Armour, said Houston. Also included is, as on Xbox 360 and PC, an access code to the Cerberus Network. This will give you instant access to the same great lineup of Downloadable Content such as Zaeed and Firewalker.
We’ve talked briefly about the Interactive Comic, he continued. BioWare Edmonton (the group that made Mass Effect 2) teamed up with the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics to create an interactive backstory. While I can’t release all the details about this yet, what I can tell you is that we want to create a stunning visual experience that not only tells the core story elements of Mass Effect 1, but also is fully interactive allowing you to be faced with some of the major choices which will have consequences [for] your Mass Effect universe. This interactive comic’s initial release will be exclusive to PS3 owners who would be otherwise unable to realize the full effect of choice in the Mass Effect universe and will be included on the Cerberus Network.
There will also be some DLC Bundles, such as the Aegis Pack as well as exclusive both Free and Paid DLC for all PlayStation 3 owners such as the Recon Operations Pack. Words can not express how very pleased I am to be able to bring this BioWare title to our PlayStation fans, concluded Houston.
