Mass Effect Trilogy performs best on PS3

The upcoming Mass Effect Trilogy performs better on the PlayStation 3 compared to the Xbox 360, according to producer Ryan Warden.

All three Mass Effect games are set to be bundled in together in a huge collection.

Warden claims working with an external team on the project helped them make some huge gains on Sony's console.

"We partnered with Edge of Reality, an external team with whom we've worked on many previous projects," Warden wrote on the PS Blog. "Edge of Reality has a deep understanding of how PS3 works, under the hood, so we thought the project would be a perfect fit.

"We had a huge head start because of the work we had done with Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 for PS3, but we still wanted to maintain the look and feel - the classic experience - of the original Mass Effect."

Warden explained how fiddling with the audio helped them make some improvements in other areas.

"We tinkered with the audio engine, and with the way that memory was allocated to various chunks of the game. We brought over some lighting and visual effects improvements from Mass Effect 2 and 3, and combined them with the original Mass Effect systems.

"In essence, we invited the Wu Tang Clan to a rap battle... and it paid off."

The Mass Effect Trilogy hits the PlayStation 3 on 7 December.
