If you haven’t already seen the interview with the creators of Mass effect 1 (Directors of Bioware) then watch this – its entitled “The Good Doctors from bioware discuss mass effect 2″ and is well worth a watch:

Bioware releases Mass Effect 2 Info…

Mass Effect 2 Admin — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:05:07 +0000

Well not much yet actually – we are anticipating mass effect 2 so much we wish they would release a little few more sneak peaks soon. According to their latest update on twitter Bioware cant resist and “don’t want to wait until e3″ before they give us some more mass effect 2 information. Given that the E3 show starts in June we can rest assured within the next month and a half its likely we will see some more information, maybe a few game previews and such released. It would be great to have a playable mass effect 2 demo released, but I suppose something needs to be saved for E3?

Do you think there will be a playable Mass Effect 2 Demo at E3? Bioware havent even rumbled that there will be but you never know with these companies!

Their twitter update reads: “Marketing hint from this morning’s team meeting. You may not need to wait till E3 for more Mass Effect 2 information” – given that its external (taken from “Marketing”) chances are they have a plan, as soon as we know more we will keep you posted!

Mass effect 2 speeds up elevator rides

Supposedly bioware are working on a faster loading system, one that should cut down the amount of awkward time spent within the elevator rides with Wrex. The first mass effect game featured a few things heavily, firstly the most newsworthy feature seemed to be the gaming sex scenes, which grabbed the media quite extensively. Seperate to this lesbian alien sex there was also the formidable elevator rides. These rides in the mass effect elevator met mixed critisism, ultimately it was designed to mask the loading of new levels – which some thought it was a good idea and was a lot better than simply displaying a loading screen. Other recent games such as Portal (on the half life engine) have also used this technique and overall to the non veteran gamer it does mask the loading of new levels nicely, making the whole experience less segmented.

But some critics thought the elevator rides were over the top and a more efficient game loading screen would have done if it had cut down the time spent loading. Some elevator rides did last up to 1 minute, which is quite a long time to be stuck in any elevator, let alone in mass effect. Gamers like shooting things, exploring, running jumping – climbing you know – action stuff – elevator rides are not really action.

Anyway according to an interview with BioWare founders it was one of the major feedback’s recieved from the first mass effect game and they are actively looking to remove/improve these loading scenarios. YAY less time in lifts!
