Mass Effect is NOT coming to PC

The Mass Effect team has said they want to make the series a generation trilogy, which means all 3 games before next gen. That gives them about 5 years to put out the first game, put out the promised downloadable content, create a 2nd game, create DLC for that, and create a the 3rd game with DLC. PC is getting Dragon Age, and even on the Bioware forums they have confirmed ME is a 360 exclusive. There is really no time to stop and make a port to PC, and if there is expect it in 2009.

 So, even if Mass Effect DOES go to PC, I guarantee you by the time PC gets the 2 year old game we already played we will have or about to have the sequel. Just like Gears and Halo.

Cool.

I would not have waited for it anyway.:|smokeydabear076

I really don't like games like that... 

I would not have waited for it anyway.:|smokeydabear076

youll just buy it for your 360 ..

'Nuff said. 

Never has a bioware game not been on the pc, ever.

Additionaly, bioware said if there was enough demand, they would port it to the pc 

Of course not because Bioware didn't port Jade Empire and KOTOR to the PC after initially releasing them for the XBOX...

OH WAIT!

Oh damn, my bad.

What was the reason that the PC verison came out later though?

I'm sure Spore, Crysis, Hellgate, Left 4 Dead, Half Life Episode 2, Empire Earth 3, and whatever else is planned for 2008 will keep me occupied. :)

I've lost count how many times now?

Damn cliffhangers... at least Episode 1 gave more resolution then Halo 2's "ending".

Yeah, that's true. I was cool with the Halo 2 ending, I'm patient. And in my case. REALLY patient. But with Half-Life 2, after that final scene in the Citadel...Let's just say I was like DAMN. Glad Episode One came along. I guess for me, it has more to do with caring more about the characters and the story in Half-Life than Halo.

To me, Halo represents the human conflict during a time of crisis. While Half-Life represents the human struggle during a time of oppression.

The 360's hardware is not very much different in architecture to that of a PC... a port will be a cake walk for Bioware.foxhound_fox

Exactly. I have a 360, and plan to buy a gaming PC, so I don't really care, but I'm sure there will be a port.

Waiting for the inevitable PC verison of Halo 3? Can't say I blame you, I can never get used to a controller's inaccuracy either (and console's lack of mods/subpar multiplayer, perhaps I'm just a bit too impatient waiting for the inevitable PC ports). 

I actually never got around to completing the HL2 single player until Episode one came out, but I agree, after that scene in the Citadel it wouldn't download fast enough. Come to think of it... Black Mesa Source can't come out fast enough either.

Man, it looks really great. Coming along nicely.  

The 360's hardware is not very much different in architecture to that of a PC... a port will be a cake walk for Bioware.foxhound_fox

Who says Bioware has to port it?  Bungie doesn't port the Halo for PC games, MS will just license out another studio if they wanted to. 

Who cares really? Downgrade Effect is nothing more then a crappy KoToR clone anyway, even Star Wars nerds wont buy into the fact that BioWare pretty much ripped off their own game franchise.DSgamer64

Kotor clone crappy = impossible. 

The Mass Effect team has said they want to make the series a generation trilogy, which means all 3 games before next gen. That gives them about 5 years to put out the first game, put out the promised downloadable content, create a 2nd game, create DLC for that, and create a the 3rd game with DLC.

the same was said about halo3 fable, jade empire etc, it will most likely come to pc going buy what has happend in the past and this is the gen of multiplats

Never has a bioware game not been on the pc, ever.

I would not have waited for it anyway.:|smokeydabear076

I waited for Jade Empire but the 360 is a much better platform than the original Xbox, so I won't be waiting for Mass Effect :)
