\nWhen a console to PC port arrives with issues like poor optimization or a lack of graphical upgrades, this is naturally, disappointing. Bioware's Matt Atwood, in an interview over at Eurogamer, insists that the upcoming May PC release of Mass Effect<\/em> will be different:<\/p>\n

\n

"We get questions about if we're going to do new content [for the PC
\nversion], but what's the real value there? The game is so robust with
\nthis content. What makes the most sense is to focus on making the
\nkeyboard customisable, increasing the visuals, making the controls very
\nnatural and add things like squad commands and hot-keys for Shepard's
\nbiotic powers and weapons; make those things that, honestly, when
\npeople make ports they just don't do. They just get it going and that's
\nit. And that's not what BioWare's about."<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

No new PC-exclusive content is a bit of a bummer, but the rest is still good news. He also touches upon downloadable content planned for both the PC and the Xbox 360:<\/p>\n

\n

"We obviously know more than we're ready to talk about, just to be
\ncompletely honest with you. But I think you'll see more planets, I
\nthink you'll potentially see more races – you're going to see really
\ngreat content.<\/em>"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you'd like more on the newer, shinier side of Mass Effect<\/em>, the rest of the interview<\/a>, along with the accompanying PC screenshot gallery<\/a> should whet your appetite. <\/p>\n
