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%20timeNote: 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. |

Feh, serves anyone that would shell out that kinda cash for anything WWE related right.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

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

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.

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. |

Error 404: Title not found.

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.

That game makes Deus Ex 2 look riveting.

That just seems very broken. That should get a ZERO from any site that reviews it...but it won't.

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. |

It had loading screens for loading screens. Incredible.

Those loading times make my old Commodore 64 with 1541 floppy drive look FAST.

In the same vein...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

You can actually watch the first one in the corner of the second video. It's there for comparison.

Yeah, but I wanted to read the smart-assy comments on it. Can't see 'em properly in the mini-one.
