It appears that the PC release of Mass Effect is shaping up to be big news. While 360 owners got the original release everything about the PC product is looking superior and more polished. Jay Watamaniuk, Bioware’s Community Manager let loose the system requirements and minimum specs earlier this week and its looking like any moderately powerful gaming rig will be sufficient to run Mass Effect. Its amazing to see the difference in requirements among these console to PC ports and how some have ridiculously high requirements – like Assassin’s Creed – while games that don’t have a significant visual difference like Mass Effect will run on very reasonably built systems.

Operating System: Windows XP or Vista
Processor: 2.4+GHZ Intel or 2.0+GHZ AMD
Memory: 1 Gigabyte Ram (XP) 2 Gigabyte Ram (Vista)

That’s it?
That’s what the Xbox graphics is compared too?
That’s childs play.
I hope they give us more eye candy than what’s in the xbox version.
If I can run Creed on high only one resolution down than the one I normal use (otherwise maxed out besides AA) I guess I’ll be running this thing maxed. I want a release date ):
With the new parts I upgraded recently, my computer should be able to dominate this.
I’m still not positive I’ll be buying it, though.
@da soc: How does May 28 sound in the US with at June 6th release in Europe?
Anyone else notice that picture doesn’t include the elcor?
