PS3 referenced in Mass Effect 2 Code

by Alex Donaldson on 02 February, 2010

Rumors that Mass Effect 2 is heading to the PS3 have been kick-started again thanks to a string of code in the PC version of the game that references the PS3 console.

According to Polish site Kikoo, the game's code has references that refer to Talent, Paragon and Renegade points for a PS3 version.

Here's the code in question:
[SFXGame.BioSFHandler_CharacterR?ecord2]m_nMaxRenegade=1900
m_nMaxParagon=1957
m_srXPFormat=340881
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessageXBox?=348754
m_srParagonRenegadeMessageXBox=3?48755
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessagePC=3?48753
m_srParagonRenegadeMessagePC=348?755
m_srSpendTalentPointsMessagePS3=?348755
m_srParagonRenegadeMessagePS3=15?3007

We've been in touch with EA and we'll let you know their response, but we're expecting a hearty no comment. Buried code referencing the PS3 was also found in the PC release of Bioshock, then a 360/PC exclusive - and then it was announced for PS3 months later. Could we be in for the same here?
