Mass Effect 3 PC Pre-Load Started; Graphical Options same with the Demo Version

DSOGaming writes: "It’s almost here. The third part of Mass Effect 3 will be released in a few days and PC gamers can go ahead and pre-load it via Origin. The game is around 10GB in size and word has it that PC gamers will be able to unlock it earlier via VPN. That method worked fine with Syndicate, so we bet that it will also do the trick with BioWare’s title."

Eh, I was hoping for better textures than the demo. Anyone know if the resolution is higher by probing the files a bit?

arjman5222d ago

Bioware said there'd be higher res textures but no user confirmation yet.

ninjahunter5222d ago

Im told the PC preload is a little over 10gb, and i just hopped on the piratebay. It seems that the Xbox 360 copy is 10.5gb So it doesn't looks like the initial PC release has High res textures.

PS: for anyone who thinks I am a bad person for going to the pirate bay. I did not pirate the game, or any other game, Just wanted to know the file size.

UltimateIdiot9115222d ago

You can't determine the textures by the size. PC can compress the files and uncompress them once you install allowing greater textures in small size.

360 can only compress so far since it's running off the disc, textures have to be decompress as the disc is running hence you can't compress the files as much as you would for PC.

How can the Xbox 360 copy be 10.5gb when a DVD only holds 8.5gb Maximum? The numbers just don't add up there.

PiccoloGR5222d ago (Edited 5222d ago )

These higher resolution textures might come as a day-1 patch. Same thing that happened with Dragon Age 2. Or perhaps BioWare was reffering to all versions of Mass Effect 3, meaning that the game's textures (in X360, PS3 and PC) are of a higher resolution than those of the demo version

dirthurts5222d ago

If they update the textures, then it's a day one purchase. If not, I'm waiting for a price drop.

The pc version of the demo looked great for what is was, an old unreal engine game, certainly looks better than anything on console. Honestly, thats not saying much, most pc games from 2007 and up look a generation ahead of unchated 3 or killzone 3.

But games like the witcher 2, bf3, metro2033, x3, hard reset, crysis 1,2, warhead, ect make me3 look last gen.

thanks for bringing up a bunch of console games that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. really goes to show that you're not one of those classless fanboy elitists who go out of their way to make fun of consoles every chance they get.

/sarcasm

kevnb5222d ago

well im not real impressed with the graphics, but the game will rock. And i prefer to play on pc, im not going to get into why because it just starts a flame war.

anast558d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine558d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast558d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman558d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast558d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman557d ago

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
