Today BioWare a Division of Electronic Arts confirmed that Mass Effect for the PC will ship on May 6th 2008 in North America.
BioWare said in a statement “Re-designed for the PC, Mass Effect invites players to take the role of Commander Shepard as they set out on an adventure to save the galaxy from imminent destruction. Wrought with treachery, heroism, difficult decisions and a universe filled with unique and colorful species, Mass Effect delivers a truly compelling storyline.”
Mass Effect was originally released on the Xbox 360 and I will say it was probably one of the best games for the 360 last year.
Mass Effect for the PC introduces the following features:
New squad control interface – Players can now issue commands to individual squad members, providing a new level of depth to the tactical combat.
Hot-key functionality – Biotic powers and abilities can be mapped to individual keys, allowing a faster “run and gun” style of gameplay.
Re-designed Mako controls – Players can explore alien planets and engage in vehicular combat with an intuitive and fully camera independent control system for the Mako, their all-terrain vehicle.
New Quick-save button and increased number of save slots.
New decryption mini-game – A new decryption mini-game invites players to test their skills as they avoid obstacles and move their icon to the center of the digital mechanism.
New inventory screen GUI and functionality – The enhanced inventory system makes it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armor.
