More about Mass Effect

Link

In light of the recent discussion in the BioShock thread on linear story lines, I thought I'd bring this one up again. This almost makes me wish I had a Xbox.

It looks like it's going to be a great game. Perhaps even epic.

[Testiculese]

When's the PC port? That's the important question.

[Duper]

from everything I've read Testi, It doesn't sound like that's even being considered. >:\\

I'll get a head a start then:

Then it sucks! Rabble rabble rabble! Fun can only be had through a VGA cable!!

[Top Wop]

Too bad about the lack of a port. Its M$'s iron fist at work again.

Its probably going to get very popular, in which case they might consider a port after a year or so. Thats what they did with Jade Empire, so theres hope.

That sucks. Looks like a really good game.

[Duper]

AHHH! A Quick Google solves the mystery!

Huh. So, apparently, MicroSoft are using their monopoly-type powers to stop MicroSoft from becoming a competetor?

Cor blimey, those cinematics are beautiful... The first character \"Jeff \"Joker\" Moreau\" sounds like a very serious Seth Green.

Well, DVI is probably better now if you go that way.

That link you posted Duper is just a rumor:

6. Will Mass Effect be coming to the PC?

Chris Priestly: Mass Effect is planned as an Xbox 360 exclusive title. This means we are not working on a PC version and have no plans to start making one.

Thats not to say that it will NEVER be out on PC, its just that it will be a year or so, but I remember reading that even the dev's doubted if a PC port will ever happen.

No, its Micro$soft making a deal with the developer to make the title an XBOX 360 exclusive.

[Sirius]

They ported Jade Empire... wouldn't count it out completely.

We shall see. If it's a 360 title it'd be easier to do than most.
