mass effect

Doe anyone know if mass effect on the 360 will also come out for pc, i read somewhere that it was but i cant find it.

Mass Effect is an Xbox 360 exclusive, and if it's coming to PC it's not been announced.

I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.

Not been announced but expect it late next year.

For initial release its 360 exclusive but after say 6 months they will probably do a pc version and ps3 version. So expect a port in a year or two id say just like gta games.

that sucks so much. I hate how ms do this as they own both windows and xbox normally you'd expect a copany to sell it on everything they own but nope as they are fighting against ps and pc have no competition they ditch pc users until it suits them.

i know they are a business but they do treat there customers like crap sometimes.

I agree totally

EA just bought Bioware, so I expect EA to try and recap the money they spent so I think they will put the game onto as many platforms as possible.

My Guess would be this time next year, kinda like gears of war

What's this got to do with Microsoft? It's Bioware who makes the game. :confused:

Microsoft Game Studios are publishing this game, so I'd definitely expect it to appear on PC by 2009. PS3 doubtful.

EA bought bioware? I thought lucasarts did cos there gona be making a new sw game for them?

Ozzie Dave · 17 Nov 2007 at 13:20

It will most likely appear on PC in the next year or two imo. There have been other console exclusive games that ended up on PC. Its just MS milking it for all its worth first for their xbox platform. Also with EA aquiring Bioware I think they will push them for a PC release also....EA love low maintenence cash cows.

im sure bioware said "bioware is only on 360, including the next 2 games"

not the exact quote but w/e.

but prob when ME2 is out 1 might come to pc :S

eggyoke · 18 Nov 2007 at 03:13

Yeah as the others have said, it will very likely come to PC. Just not yet, maybe Xmas 08 or Spring 09.

Shame though... Mass Effect looks like it would be great on PC, especially after reading some early reviews mention frame-rate issues on the 360.

Bioware will likely be focusing their efforts on the new Star Wars game they're making, which I think they said was in playable form. So it shouldn't be too far off

but surely ms pays bioware to make it only for xbox for a certain amount of time? just like with gta, playstation were paying to only get it on playstation for x amount of months.
