They’ve promised the lift sequences are gone, replaced with loading screens that sport ”interesting visuals and information” in their place.
Is that better? ”The elevators were made in ME1 so we didn’t have to show boring loading screens. However there were a lot of complaints, so we’ve gone back to loading screens and movies,” said BioWare’s Thomas R. Roy, reports Kotaku.
”We still have elevators in ME2, but you don’t wait inside them. We’ll cut to a loading screen instead,” he added. ”We’ve tried to make the loading screen more interesting this time by adding interesting visuals and information.”
”The elevator conversations had some funny moments, but hopefully people will enjoy this new system better than the old one!” The lifts also included some news announcements about happenings in Citadel space, often as a result of your actions.
Let’s hope we haven’t sacrificed a beloved moment in Mass Effect - sure they were annoying but they were part of the experience of becoming the first human Spectre. Mass Effect 2 has already been revealed as coming via 2 discs, with a swap on Xbox 360.
