Mass Effect 2 to launch on PC/360 simultaneously

360 News | PC gamers rejoice.
In an interview with gaming blog VG247, BioWare has confirmed that Mass Effect 2 will ship simultaneously on the PC and Xbox 360 when it is released early next year.

The title's Associate Producer, Jesse Houston, explained that even though the original title shipped later on the PC, the extra development time allowed the company to make many improvements to the game.

"We learned a lot from building the PC version before, and having built it six months later there was a big difference. So we actually took what we learned from PC and put it back into 360. Fundamentally, we want you to have the same gameplay experience, but just with the difference in controls. This time round, doing it at the same time for a sim-ship, we can control the differences much more smoothly because it’s the same team building it now."

Mass Effect 2 is expected to warp into stores in Q1 2010.

Awesome news. If the PC version was delayed, I probably would've bought a 360 just to play it. Definite day 1 purchase.

Same actually. I was thinking of getting a 360 just for this if there was going to be another 6 month wait. Very good news.

Good, and welcomed, news. Hopefully this will lead the way of returning some prestige to PC gaming.
