Re-map the control scheme
Mass Effect, the epic sci-fi adventure from Bioware, has been re-designed for PC and will be available in stores in May 2008.The controls have been optimised and designed specifically for the PC and gamers will have the freedom to re-map the control scheme however they wish. Hot-keys can also be used to assign special powers and an enhanced inventory system will make it easier for players to equip and modify their weapons and armour.
“Mass Effect serves as a powerful example of video games as an art form, delivering new levels of emotional intensity, realistic characters and a gripping storyline – all set in a compelling new universe,” said Ray Muzyka, General Manager, BioWare and Vice President, Electronic Arts. Frank Gibeau, President of EA’s Games Label added, “EA has struck an agreement with Microsoft to handle future publishing for Mass Effect. We are looking forward to releasing Mass Effect on the PC this Spring and brand new titles in the future.”
The Xbox 360 version of Mass Effect received numerous game of the year award (read our Mass Effect review ), but it also hit the headlines for the wrong reasons, when Fox News ran a story about scenes in the game containing (alien) nudity.
