Jade Empire 2 in development, PS3 version a possibility?

Posted on January 2nd, 2008 at 05:51 EDT

The move by Electronic Arts taking ownership of Bioware has prompted much speculation including the possibility of the Mass Effect trilogy making a way to the PlayStation 3. Beyond that, however, what about other Bioware projects?

If there is ever a title from Bioware that could be considered underrated, it is that of Jade Empire. Released in 2005, it was Bioware’s first project after Knights of the Old Republic, which took place in an ancient Chinese setting. Surrounded by speculation for years, Jade Empire 2 seems to now be in development from Bioware, that is, according to Dean Takahashi of the San Jose-based Mercury News.

In his blog, Takahashi claimed that he spoke to someone whom saw code for Jade Empire 2 for the Xbox 360. While this is remained unconfirmed by Bioware themselves, it must be noted that the company has given hit to the sequel since 2005.

The reason why you as a PS3 owner should care about this, is due to the fact that EA as a company has always remained adamant on releasing many of their games as multiplatform titles. So while the original JE might have been an Xbox exclusive, there is a very high possibility that a Jade Empire 2 would end up being on the PS3 either at launch, or a few months after the Xbox 360 launch with a few exclusive features to compensate for the wait.

If anything more breaks on this, please be ensured that PSU will be there to fill you in.

This is one reason why I kinda like EA, they like to create games for all platforms, but I would hate to be bought by them !

Good news for owners I guess. I was interested in jade but once I beat it I realized I am not sure if I really apreciated the world that was created.

Btw, who is it that feels compelled to thumb down every story?

well, to get my money, it will need to be released at the same time as xcrap 360 version. Dont treat PS3 gamers like an after thought, get a clue.

I like this news that are not news at all. A lot of  "news" here at PSu end with a question mark in their titles.

EA took our exclusive Mercenaries 2 and gave it to almost every platform imaginable,so i expect them to do the same to JE2.

And A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

I was hopeful untill I saw it was one of Sarad's Articles.

 

I've said as much that it's possible that we'd get some Jade empire Love but frankly I still doubt Bioware will ever release a PS3 version of ANY of their games unless EA litterally hands the code off to another studio to port it and then we'd mostlikley just get a weak port that dosent live up to what the PS3 can do.

 

Face it anything that Bioware comes out with has a 90% chance of being multiplatform but it's only goingto be the 36* and PC. Period, End of sentence, End of story.

Jade Empire was good so I hope Jade Empire 2 makes it to PS3. All games are welcome.
