Bloodborne load times look to be a bit longer than hoped

Thanks for the heads up.
Just bad memory management really, they should take some notes on how ND does it. One long loading at the start and that's it.
Yeah, it sucks to hear that. As somebody who suffered both Skyrim AND Arkham City on the PS3, I can suffer through this, but at the same time I've also become very accustomed to the fast loading times of DS and DS2 on PC, so it will be a harsh adjustment. At least the producers are aware of this, so maybe there will be another patch soon after release.

Damn, that's like Too Human levels of punishment for dying
It's every load, not just the one in the video.
Based on my memory: It's exactly in line with the load times in previous "Souls" outings on consoles. It's mainly an issue for people who have been playing these games lately on PC...and even then, I suspect, it's a minor issue.
I'll probably just check my phone for new notifications during the longer loads. No problem.

It's truly not that bad. It's the fact that it's basically the only thing to complain about with Bb, and some would really love to throw a wet towel over everyone's hype.

I love Pokken!
Do you have an idea on the size of the patch?
It really isn't, some loads are only 10-15 seconds. It's just really inconsistent for some reason.
Huh, I never saw a load that quick in the time I spent watching streams.
Git Gud stops becoming a meme, but a true necessity. It's all a feedback loop
Now I kinda want the loading time to stay the same, but the screen to be a replay of your death with Git Gud across it.

I heard from the main world to the hub world it takes 10-20seconds. While back its longer.
Porting back to the Hunter's Dream takes like 10-15sec.
But I guess porting back takes 40-50 sec due to the massive overworld/linked world.

I love GTA V and find it near-perfect. But their load times are abysmal and it's the biggest glaring flaw of the game. I know I'm going to love Bloodborne but these loads times actually are bad. Not only that, there's absolutely nothing to at least read while you're loading unless you have a hard time with reading the title of the game.
You can be critical of things you love.

I wouldn't mind getting some lore tidbits to read during the wait.
Absolutely. Destiny also does it nicely.
GTA V only loads on start-up though, not throughout the game.

In the end we'll all forget about this when the game comes out. i always sit with my phone and so whenever a loading screen comes i switch to mobile. No matter how long it is.

Yeah, its painful to wait and watch.
I was amazed how quick Sleeping Dogs: DE loads on my SSD, just a couple of seconds, even if its openworld game.
PS - you can call me spoiled, but i waited for fucking 5 minutes to run zx-spectrum games from tapes in my youth and i don't wanna this times to return again.

Spoiled children these days
Ever played Monkey Island 2 on Amiga with 11 disks and one floppy drive?
And now we complain about 30 seconds. Get your phone out and tweet about it in the meantime
SHEEIT. Ever played SiN?
Now that was a good three minutes long.

You know, it's 2015 right now.
No idea. And I'm afraid it would be scummy of me to share the details, but just wanted to point out that the patch which has gone live already is, as far as I know, not the full contents of the day 1 patch.

Tom pls

@Odd, art but a much greater selection. Must be so much nice concept art, just make sure its not spoilerific, and if it is make it so it only appears when you've already seen what it pertains to
Artwork. I loved the closeup of the NPC's in Demon Souls

Item descriptions. I love reading the lore

Artwork by far. Environmental artwork for areas the player has already visited would also be neat. Yharnam is a stunning setting.
Maybe both artwork and item descriptions?

This.
Additionally, they should have it cycle between a few items over the ~40 seconds.

Considering you are the one who suggested this thread in the "games with the worst loading time" thread I'm not surprised I guess this is the new concern and docking review points because of long load times? really. I wonder why not add points then for best loading times ... hint The Order and Driveclub.
A dynamic dream state would be nice. Kind of like Destiny's flying ship which changes just at the very end, but here instead, a flashback of the location you're about to boot up at. It mask the load times nicely...
No fucking joke. DS2 load times were, like, 5 seconds on PC.
This better get patched. I don't know realistically how much I should expect that given From's batting record with technical issues, but jesus christ that's long.
We had similar assumptions about the system for playing games as they install or are downloaded, when that's really more about getting ENOUGH there to get going and not about making load times magically disappear.
Hell, install times haven't really gone away, they just reduced to like 30 seconds before you can play the game, and happen automatically when the game's inserted rather than requiring booting.

Would this be fixed by an SSD or would I run into another bottleneck?
It'd be faster for sure, impossible to know by how much though unless someone does some benchmarks.
