Solid Release Date for Mass Effect PC Version
BioWare has just announced the release date for the Mass Effect PC version. It’s on May 6 ladies and gentlemen!
Some changes have also made its way into the PC version. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:
- 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.
- New inventory screen GUI and functionality – The enhanced inventory system makes it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armor.
Since the game will be released just a week before my birthday, this could make a very good gift for myself. Hurray!
