Mass Effect for the PC May 6

News | February 26, 2008 2:36 pm
Mass Effect for the PC got its release date today and with it comes a list of features and fixes that EA has made for the PC version. Among them are:

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.
Quick-save 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.
Enhanced alien sex manuevers.

guess which one of those is a joke.

...Uh, the Quick-save?

I'm curious to see if this will be marketed as a Games For Windows Live game and feature achievements or not.

I agree. Most of those are designed to enhance the PC gaming experience such as hot-key and auto-save. The mini-game could possibly come over, but again it depends on whether it was designed with the PC, Console or both controls in mind.
