Are the elevator rides the best thing about Mass Effect for the Xbox 360? One writer sarcastically thinks so.
From the article: "Most games have only one or two elevator rides, at the most. Not in Mass Effect! You can't go friggin anywhere without partaking in the stand and stare meditation, known as the elevator ride. You'll Stand! You'll Stare! You'll wait silently, for what seems like an eternity, for that door to open… All in the name of Fun!"
Bioware writes: "Like you, we’ve heard the rumors lately. You’ve made it clear you care deeply about what’s next. So let’s start by setting the record straight: the next Mass Effect game is in development, and EA and BioWare remain committed to telling more stories in this universe."
I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed
Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.
I feel the same way.
I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?
Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.
Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year
So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?
Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.

But for the most part they are avoidable aswell. You can fasttravel almost anywhere you want to in the Citadel anyway.
I think this article might be just as lame as the elevator rides in ME, perhaps I should write an article on that! :P
I actually liked the elevator rides. The characters would sometimes have weird conversations or the news would play in the background revealing new missions.
that their is ONLY one elevator in MASS EFFECT, that is frustrating.
I HATE when people nit-pick GREAT games.
like 90% of the industry does w/ ps3 games.
this NEEDS to change for any posistive advancement in this industry.
IMO.
that`s the one.
i can`t wait to play this game.
The elevator rides, in fact, are of course just a disguise for loading the next area's content.
That's what you get when everything's put on a DVD 9.
