Mass Effect for PC delayed till May 28th

Hi everyone,

I have just confirmed with the development team that we are making a small change to the release date of Mass Effect for the PC. We had previously announced May 6, 2008 for North America. The new release date for North America is May 28, 2008 and June 6, 2008 in Europe.

The team here at BioWare, working closely with the good folks at Demiurge Studios, has decided that a few more weeks in the studio will ensure we deliver the quality that our fans deserve. The additional time will allow us to incorporate more play-testing feedback, add extra polish and tune the additional features so that Mass Effect is a natural and outstanding PC gaming experience.

BioWare and EA are dedicated to excellence. We’re confident that the extra time will be reflected in the final PC experience that we deliver to our fans.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to delivering a great game!

Thanks all.

buh.

Hopefully all they need to do is polish some stuff up before it gets delayed again...
 
Ah well, I'd much rather wait a bit longer than have to deal with a buggy game that needs a patch!

I kind of wish they did that for the 360 version. =P

I agree though. Better they delay it than release a buggy game.

Why, was the 360 version buggy?

There was frequent lag, and textures were ridiculously slow to load sometimes. I think a lot of it could have been solved if Microsoft would have let BioWare install Mass Effect onto 360 hard drives. Not everyone has a hard drive though so I guess Microsoft wanted everyone to be able to play it, but the game suffered as a result.
