Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PS3; Mass Effect 1 is not. As the sequel can account for consequences of choices you made in the original, some were wondering how this will be addressed on the PS3.

The answer, according to a BioWare producer in the print edition of the German magazine Play3, is an interactive comic by Dark Horse that will establish the continuity of the first game and allow readers to make some choices to affect its outcome.

That's not all; in announcing Mass Effect 2 for the PS3 at GamesCom, Electronic Arts said it would feature "hours of bonus content." So in addition to the interactive comic, PS3 players will get all three previously released DLC extensions, plus the one-use code that gives access to the Cerberus Network.

Finally, the post quotes Hudson as saying the game will include an exclusive mission which clocks in at around six hours in length.

To top it all off, Bioware has recently announced that it will throw Playstation 3 players another bone by enabling them to see into the future. That’s right! As the title has already given away, the Playstation 3 version of Mass Effect 2 will utilize the enhanced and likely very upgraded Mass Effect 3 engine. The upgrade is such a huge one that Xbox 360 players might start finding that the Playstation 3 version is the envy of the series.
