Yeah, I understand that buying a good gaming PC and keeping it upgrades is very expensive (which is why I don't do it) but roughly £350/$400 for a console that's going to last at least 7 years without needing to be upgraded in any way sound like a good deal to me. I agree that a 2 year 'transition period' is a good idea, but by late 2015/early 2016, I'm sure 90% of devs will have moved fully to the 8th gen and the PS4/Xbox One will have gotten cheaper by then. 

 

It's kind of a chicken and eggs situation. Devs don't want to 'abandon' the 100M or so people who only own PS3s/Xbox 360s, but at the same time, they have to understand that few people are going to switch to the 8th gen while they're still making games for the 7th gen. 

 

$400 console that lasts  years is good. Buying it and not haveing electricity or food not so much. I have a budget f that should let me save up for it in two years counting the $195 I've saved since they launched.

Playing on PC is about as expensive, given a lower limit, as you want it to be.

 

My hardware is almost all 2008 vintage and it's not even top of the line (lower end CPU in fact) but up until recently there were extremely few games that I wanted to play and could not. I played Tomb Raider from last year, looking quite OK on this system with no issues.

 

Now I'm going to drop about a 100 or so dollars to keep it going for a while longer.

 

So, it doesn't have to be all that expensive.

[B.Shep]

Yeah, that is the good thing about a PC. It doesn't need to be top of line to play most games released until now. And you can do some upgrades to extend its life when necessary.

Building a gaming PC now is so cheap, that it is almost pointless to get a console ... even a new-gen one.

 

Seriously, even a system with a GTX 750 Ti, lower-end i5 and 4-6 GB of ram can handle many games on high settings FHD...

 

Besides playing games on a gamepad to which consoles restrict you - especially FPS games - is like eating a soup with a fork... I mean you can...but... why? just why?

 

Use a damn spoon.

 

Not to mention something that completely discards consoles for me - lack of mods.

PC allows you to mod even those games that are not meant to be modded by factory default - even old ME1 has some simple mods on PC.

 

Suffice to say, I am rather convinced that a setup with a GPU mentioned above, 6 GB of RAM and standard issue CPU will manage MENext just nicely, add Mantle support on top of that...

 

And the funniest thing is... a lot of people would like to have a world without consoles, rather than wars (sic!).

 

Check this random video I picked for instance -

 

And the prices are even lower now that in the time this video was made.

Glad you guys can turn a Mass Effect thread into yet another PC pissing contest, well done everybody!

[Qwib Qwib]

Holy crap. ME 4, Next, whatever it is called -- WILL FEATURE STORY?!

 

 

Wait... I don't have a next-gen system. 

 

 

Wait... still not enough money. 

 

 

Wait... I'm not Link...

We did not, we just made a side note about this.

 

PC nowadays can readly compete with consoles in terms of price (if you have a bit of know-how to build a proper setup).

Please don't bring PC vs consoles discussion here.

I saw there were new comments and thought YAY! NEW INFO! 

 

I was disappointed. 

[CroGamer002]

Yep, sorry about that.

 

Plus, we won't see any new info until next year.

[pdario]

I think this is genuine news

Not if you read the Twitter-thread.

[pdario]

Uh? What's that? Isn't it this the thread the sums up all known news?

I must have misunderstood something...

Sounds like they're progressing nicely.

[CroGamer002]

Vague statement like "there's gonna be a lot in there" is not worth putting up.

 

But nice to hear it's progressing well.

[Phaedon]

I agree. 

 

First tweet is clearly due to the build being uncompressed or something along those lines. It's a BioWare game anyway, it's guaranteed to have "a lot" in it.

 

Second one is extremely vague. How would it even work? "Dev Promise: The next Mass Effect is looking better every day along its development" ?

 

I do think that it's important for the thread to have tons of raw details (as long as it's not grasping at straws, obviously), and it's definitely what separates it from random game media articles, but this definitely doesn't qualify. 

 

Oh well, this part of the pre-release period definitely sucks.

[nickkcin11]

Not crazy about the new N7 armor, it's overly complicated like the Spartan IV's Mjolnir armor. It doesn't even look like something from the Mass Effect universe...

 

I'm getting that vibe from the concept art so far, the artists were probably given freer reign to do as they pleased and ended up furthering the distance from the original game's aesthetic. Shame too, the original game had a very confident, Syd Mead inspired look to it that stands out amongst the excessively convoluted direction most sci-fi games take.

[GalacticWolf5]

I personally love the new N7 armor. I think it looks amazing! It's way better than Shepard's (which was awesome) IMO .

So, I guess:

• Traveling space confirmed as part of the game?
• Some of the planets you'll explore will have structures (hinting that they used to be inhabited or still are)

Grasping at straws, yeah, but still. Thoughts?

[JeffZero]

Fair enough, yeah.

Not that this has any bearing on the topic at hand, but judging by how DAI handled things, were I to take an educated guess I would gander to say that many or most of those structures will be explorable ruins of various sorts.

I don't think anyone doubted those... ;-)

If true, it will make me very happy.

It's pretty cool looking. They look a bit too Halo, and not enough Mass Effect, for me. I think I'd prefer something that draws a bit more on the sharper edges and cleaner design of the various "hardsuits" we've seen in the past, but variety is never bad. As early examples, these work. They likely aren't the end all, be all of the new armor headed our way, but just some early examples of "look how awesome this game can be".

[goishen]

Personally, I'm fine with the new armor.  Why?  Well, because Shepard was a Spectre.  Spectres have the best (or some of the best) gear in the galaxy. 

 

A lone merchant ship's captain?   Ehhhhhhh.   Not so much.

[GalacticWolf5]

 

That helmet is sooo awesome tho! I'm completely in love with the back of the armor too! I'm not usually a fan of orange but it looks really nice and that's probably the color I'm going to use when the game releases. Or maybe red... I don't know.

 

Oh and has anyone been able to read what's written on the side of the helmet?
