Developer BioWare has released a new set of screenshots from the PC version of its RPG shooter hybrid epic Mass Effect, showing off the game's revised interface and decryption minigame.

As shown in the new screenshots, the title's graphical interface has been reworked to support the more versatile mouse and keyboard control configuration available for Mass Effect's PC incarnation. A look at the game's revamped decryption minigame was also revealed.

BioWare announced this morning that Mass Effect PC had been delayed from its May 6 release date. Sci-fi fans can now expect it to hit retail shelves on May 28.

I wonder if my Dell Inspiron 9300 can run this. I can play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and TF2 on decent settings.

I wonder if the combat/AI will be any better on the PC, it pretty much sucked on the 360.

wow they're going to allow you to control your dudes separately!

i saw this demonstrated in a beta video after i beat the 360 version and couldnt figure out why they removed it.

i don't see why i'd want to buy mass effect 2 for 360 now that i see all the revamping they do for the PC.

also wtf that minigame looks like too much work

Hopefully the decryption becomes automatic if your skill is waay beyond what's needed. Having to do it over and over and over again on the 360 wasn't any fun (tedious at best), and I doubt it would be any more fun on the PC even if they have changed it.

Scale your shit for fucks sake! UGH. It's a dedicated PC port they are making here and developers still refuse to understand that text, icons and so forth should always be about half their size on the PC as they are on console. The way it's laid out now it looks like an old shooter from 1993 or something where the hud was this ginormous edifice and the player was only permitted to view the world through a tiny window at the center of it.

I'm sorry, it really bothers me :(
