Title: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Fabricated on February 25, 2006, 01:42:33 PM Almost put this in useless videos, but it's videogame related.
Watch someone try to play Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 on the PSP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH3dc7IZVPc&search=psp%20load%20time Note: I own a PSP, this game has to have some amazingly shoddy programming or simply make the PSP do too much. None of the titles I own are anywhere near this bad. And I thought Stuntman was horrible. Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times.

Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: eldaec on February 28, 2006, 03:32:42 AM It's a console, only, you know, smaller.
You can't expect much else from a platform with insufficient ram. I assume the link shows it even worse than usual (link is down atm), but this is pretty much how I feel when I am subjected to anything at all on a console. /shrug Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: schild on February 28, 2006, 04:33:12 AM Load times are definately a UMD read issue more than a RAM issue. Playing a game off the memory stick (we're talking UMD ISOs here) is about 700% faster. UMD drives suck. But then, I'm getting load screens everywhere it seems lately. I've been playing Riviera, Sigma Star Saga and something a rather else, and they all have well hidden load screens (well, 2 of them are blended into the game well). And those are GBA cartridges.

Post by: WindupAtheist on February 28, 2006, 07:35:08 PM The only thing funnier than someone staring at all this loading so they can play a game, is me staring at it and not even getting to play the game.

I don't get how anyone could put up with that. By the time the match loaded I'd be chucking the UMD in the trash and putting Lumines back in.Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times.

LOLers Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Paelos on February 28, 2006, 10:27:26 PM Wow, that's really awful. I remember getting pissed off at Kotor's constant loading screens for every damn room in the game, but that PSP thing makes it look tame.
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: schild on March 01, 2006, 02:00:42 AM That game makes Deus Ex 2 look riveting.
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Strazos on March 01, 2006, 06:44:46 AM That just seems very broken. That should get a ZERO from any site that reviews it...but it won't.
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Furiously on March 01, 2006, 07:57:38 AM So is Stacy Keibler in it?
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: HaemishM on March 01, 2006, 08:20:45 AM So is Stacy Keibler in it? Looks like she was one of the loading screens. I don't get why it kept switching to loading screens for shit that was like a two second moving bitmap. Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Strazos on March 02, 2006, 06:35:05 AM It had loading screens for loading screens. Incredible.
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Jain Zar on March 07, 2006, 04:47:27 PM Those loading times make my old Commodore 64 with 1541 floppy drive look FAST.
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Glazius on March 08, 2006, 06:37:36 AM In the same vein... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYyDkwIZbTA&search=gripshift%20WWE)
Some guy plays 4 tracks (including one he creates) and a minigame in Gripshift in the time it takes Smackdown vs. Raw to put up a match. WTF mate. --GF Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Azazel on March 10, 2006, 06:09:46 AM Damn, the first one is removed
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Strazos on March 10, 2006, 06:11:02 AM You can actually watch the first one in the corner of the second video. It's there for comparison.
Title: Re: Load times, good god, the load times. Post by: Azazel on March 11, 2006, 05:08:42 AM Yeah, but I wanted to read the smart-assy comments on it. Can't see 'em properly in the mini-one.
