BioWare making Mass Effect for iPhone News

iPhone News by Robert Purchese

29 April, 2009

BioWare has revealed Mass Effect: Jacob's Story for iPhone, a two-hour "animated presentation" that will introduce the characters and story of Mass Effect 2.

Players will become biotic-powered soldier Jacob who saves humanity using a mixture of top-down arcade shooter combat and graphic novel-style story sequences, according to an online survey posted on Kotaku.

We're told the game will cost USD 2.99, although dates and specific gameplay details - such as how conversations will work - are unknown. We're trying to find out more.

Joystiq has the first clutch of pictures.

That looks rather nifty. I'll probably get it if it's cheap.

You might want to rethink this port Bioware - I heard some of the people who have iPhones are gay!

Looks cool. It's for the iPod Touch as well, in case anyone wondered.

The actual top down shooter bit looks like Alien Breed to me

3 euro seems like a good price but it's kinda disappointing that they limit it to the iphone and not release it on the pc/xbla as well considering that those are the platforms the actual games are on. Missed opportunity there.

Poor Bioware. EA will pimp their arses to every available platform.

I expect Mass Effect to show up on the DS and PSP soon enough. And then probably on such platfrms as the Neo Geo, Sega Dreamcast and PS2.
