Forums - PC Discussion - Mass Effect coming to PC, Published by EA.

Mass Effect's long-rumored jump to the PC is now a certainty, as publisher Electronic Arts has taken the popular action RPG under its wing with plans to publish the title for the PC in May. The game is the first in a new deal struck between EA and Microsoft, which will see the publisher bringing this and other unspecified games to the PC market.

According to EA, Mass Effect has undergone a slight makeover for its PC debut, with new PC-centric "fully customizable" controls, the ability to assign hot keys for "run and gun control," an enhanced inventory system, and a new decryption minigame. The publisher also boasts of the version's new "highly detailed" visuals, though we're curious to see if the console version's horrendous texture pop-in will be checked at the door before boarding the painfully slow rising elevator leading to Mass Effect's spring release.

 

so.. is there a real reason to own a 360?

lol, this is awesome, I really wanted to get this game but it meant getting the 360, looks like EA has come to the rescue and saved me some money while giving me what I wanted, YAY for them.

really? If so, I'm sorry, I've looked around on "hot topic", and there's nothing about Mass Effect

Did you know that EA and MS made a deal??

EA gets publishing rights and MS gets exclusivity on the Mass Effect IP

 Well, it's not exactly "exclusive" when it's out on BOTH 360 and PC.

 and there's no mentioning of whether Mass Effect 2 (if they are indeed making them) will be on 360 exclusively.

Anyone that was doubting this is crazy.

 well...everybody knew it was coming to PC one way or another

If they have exlusivity on the Mass Effect IP, then yes, that's precisely what that means, Wale. Mass Effect 2 would be exclusive to the 360 (As would 3).

However, I didn't read this part. Where did you see that the IP is MS-exclusive, Geb?
