Mass Effect: PC vs. Xbox 360

Six months after BioWare's stunning science fiction RPG exploded onto the Xbox 360, PC owners now have the chance to jump into the Mass Effect universe. BioWare's drafted in help from Massachusetts developer Demiurge Studios to help tweak some of the 360 game's annoyances - but has it resulted in a better experience? VideoGamer.com pit the two Mass Effects against each other in a sci-fi showdown to find out which version is most deserving of your hard-earned cash.

Includes 14 high resolution comparison screenshots.

Graphically they look very similar yet the PC seems to get a darker color. As far as controls go seems the PC has refined all the ticks the 360 pad gave along with a new and improved equipment screen makes it all the better ;)

dachiefsman6483d ago

yea that was my complaint about the 360 version was controlling all the different spells(I know they were called something else). It would have been nice if you didn't need to pause the game and change those on the fly.

It doesn't surprise me though that the PC version looks better or plays better. Having a keyboard would allow a lot more playable features.

Mass Effects biggest weakness on the 360 I thought was all the glitches. Off course the PC version is going to be superior.

You fools can disagree w/ me all you want but everyone knows Mass Effect on Xbox was terrible when it came to glitches.

OLD MAN6483d ago

360 version outta the water, but that trash that pc fans and technicians state looks more and more VOID.

Charmers6483d ago

Hm what a curious comment, so you think 1280 x 720p @ less than 30fps with horrible popup is not blown away by a NATIVELY rendered 1680 x 1050 with 16 AF @ 30 - 40 fps . I bet you are one of those people that believed Mass Effect couldn't "run" on a PC. I even get the feeling if I reduced the settings to the 360 version my PC could probably get 90 - 100fps out of this game. However 720p is too lo-res for me. But you keep living in lala land I am sure it is very comforting. Meanwhile I will enjoy playing Mass Effect with the free addon for half the price you paid for your copy.

wow, Bioware really went all out on the PC version- making the game twice as good

might pick it up

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno111d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos110d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg111d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb111d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum110d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox1006d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

anast1006d ago

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
