Bloodboorne all over again

At least its not worse than BB

You guys are funny. Unpatched Bloodborne's load times were 30-40s, iirc. ReCore is literally 4x worse.

Gameplays I've been watching say that's not true.
Longer loading times than desirable maybe, but not even close to 2 min.
Just something like 20-30 seconds.

Guys, this is from the studio tasked with porting UE4 to the Wii U. Think about that.

Did they nail it? Porting UE4 to WiiU that is? Not in the loop on this, sorry.
Gut reaction says hell no from your post but I might be reading into it wrong.

 

[antitrop]

The loading time for GTA V is why I've barely played it.

Loading times for the singleplayer are fine, it's GTA Online that has the issue.

 

[dark10x]

It's a Unity game, right? They're always awful on consoles.

Pretty sure it's UE4

We don't know yet. Basically, it seems like a very very difficult task and I have a hard time believing they'll achieve good performance. We shall see but Recore's issues certainly cast additional doubt.

Dude is probably lying for views.

Wake up people.

I wonder if that's getting cancelled after this and the year long delay of Bloodstained.

 

[Tripon]

Okay, this statement is pretty much bullshit. The context is absolutely one of the things that matter most in most any situation. The fact that you have this mindset shows just how people eat up these shit topics that don't involve much discussion. I mean, this threads first post is only 2 words "pretty neat". It's nice to have a good joke thread in awhile but this thread is pretty much "hey look at this thing we can shit on!".

2 min is unacceptable for load times and we should be upset if this is the standard. But that tweet and this thread provides no context that it is.

Okay, you tell me when 2 minutes is okay given the context.

 

[Coxy100]

Well if it stays like that, it will make me determined to be the best recore player ever

I am not dying!!

 

[SJRB]

This must be an error of some kind, I have no doubt this will get patched.

It's interesting how some people are randomly rushing in with "BUT BLOODBORNE" comments, though.

 

[Doffen]

Loading times for the singleplayer are fine, it's GTA Online that has the issue.

Once you're in the game, sure. But the startup takes forever.

 

[Adam Prime]

I dont' believe that's real. I mean, I know the video is real... but it can't be like that on release. Nobody would release something in that state.

 

[Tambini]

Wow

 

[Shanlei91]

You guys are funny. Unpatched Bloodborne's load times were 30-40s, iirc. ReCore is literally 4x worse.

But you'll die 10x more often in Bloodborne! Ho ho ho

I'm just gonna rent it and play it on easy. Long loading times is my biggest gaming pet peeve.

 

[dark10x]

Meh, long startup isn't a big deal of the rest of the game is quick. Particularly when you can use suspend/resume.

 

[Rappy]

Not saying this is true because again, no context posted in this thread, but playing on a faulty or underperforming HDD/storage device?

 

[Justinh]

Gaawwwwlllll
I was getting pretty excited about this game, too. I really dislike long as fuck loading times. Hopefully this won't be the situation for everybody.

I don't think I've ever seen a 2+ minute loading screen.

I'm almost positive I had longer load times in Witcher 3: Blood and Wine when spoilers

Spoiler

I had to fight Detlaff at the end. I died like 2 or three times and it pissed me off so God-damned much because there was the long as fuck load, then a couple like... 5 second cutscenes introducing the battle or whatever. I couldn't stop though, because I stayed up to finally finish it and I didn't want to go to sleep yet.

 

[Lighting Gels]

Is it so hard to go to youtube and search some gameplay?
Those statements about 2 min loading times are false.

 

[SJRB]

Once you're in the game, sure. But the startup takes forever.

It has improved quite a bit after the last couple of updates, though. It's still long, but nowhere near "the background song is almost finished" long anymore.

 

[televator]

Holly shit! That's even worse than Man Kind Divided on PS4!

 

[Tripon]

So the stock HDD is faulty or underperforming?

 

[Kaako]

I'm just gonna rent it and play it on easy. Long loading times is my biggest gaming pet peeve.

But what if ReCore is the next Bloodborne in terms of dying? oh ho ho ho
I kid I kid. This game looks like a breeze.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

If the thread is misrepresentating the game by showing a statistical outlier I can see why people would be upset. If loading screens like these are normal, then it's a legitimate issue with the game. Something we won't know until more people get to spend time with the game.

I highly doubt I'll see similar loading times on my XB1 because I'll have the game installed on my external SSD. Karak is reporting much shorter loads on his 7200 RPM external drive.

Quoting for visibility:

I can't imagine spending the money for a SSD and running it external to my computer, never mind my Xbox.

An 7200rpm is a bit more common, but that isn't typical Xbox one owner experience, anymore that the typical ps4 owner is rocking a 2tb hybrid HDD.

Well...Just because other people haven't had obscenely long loading times doesn't mean this guy made it up.

 

[Raimond]

Wow that's horrible!

 

[Log4Girlz]

What about a game so difficult it won't load until the next day when you die.

 

[Shanlei91]

[Buburibon]

It shouldn't be too bad on PC. That said, I probably won't be buying it anyway because Unity doesn't typically allow for downsampling without modifying the desktop resolution. I had no idea they were using Unity before skimming through this thread today. That's bad news IMO.

 

[foxuzamaki]

shit forget making a sandwich, you could grill a whole burger in that time.

 

[Rappy]

So the stock HDD is faulty or underperforming?

Are you not getting the point of my argument? His could be! That could be the context and that's why context matters! Theres also other contexts that could go either direction, positive or negative (like if he was actually playing on the fastest SSD on the market and still getting these load times). Like I said if it is standard then it should be called out on.

 

[Robot Pants]

You guys are funny. Unpatched Bloodborne's load times were 30-40s, iirc. ReCore is literally 4x worse.

Yea this Is nowhere near as bad as bloodborne.
i mean.....
the other way around

 

[Zedox]

From watching the stream of Recore I don't see that 2 minutes...but I do see the 30-40 seconds...granted dying doesn't happen often (regenerative health).

 

[Tripon]

Like I said if it is standard then it should be called out on.

But you don't know that. You can't make assumptions that you have no idea what the conditions are. If his HD really was faulty or in danger of failing, he would have a lot more problems than just loading times.

The fact that you went to the extreme end case to justify 'the context' shows you're reaching badly to defend against footage that puts the game in a bad light.

It's not your job to defend this game. You just have to decide if you want to buy and enjoy this game.

I see where you're coming from. This would also make sense. We'll know for sure soon enough once most people get their hands on the game and report on load times.

He also said the same happens with area transitions. That's why I think this issue is unique to this user. Every other gameplay video and footage shown didn't have this issue.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Exactly my dude. This is just a hater looking to craft some usual internet outrage.

If you look at the bottom closely, it looks like he looped it. Surprised nobody else saw it.

 

[comshoplesce]

this must be fixed or else

 

[Zedox]

Yea, the area transitions (aka fast travel) has the same 30-40 seconds. I'm not gonna be kneejerk and cancel my preorder over it. Game looks fun. I'm like watching and shouldn't be watching but there's so much to explore from what I see. Getting 75 of them rainbow cores for the dungeon in the beginning of the game is crazy. Good crazy.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Sonic 06 becomes slightly less of a laughing stock each and every day.

 

[SOR5]

Nearly everybody who's chipped in + gameplay walkthroughs I've seen on YouTube have been 30-40 second reloads

I haven't seen a single 2 minute load screen outside of this user

Saying this as someone's who's been compiling Recore videos and info constantly

That's where the Unity thing is coming from. Not sure if it's ever officially been confirmed, though.

 

[Gator86]

Over two minutes, shit. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't certification come with load time requirements?

It seems like cert does nothing except "can this game let people hack our console?" Games still crash right and left these days, run like shit, etc.

Recore was rental tier before, but the parade of bad looking gameplay and stuff like this might push it into "wait and see rent mode" which is a pretty sad rating.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Even worse than Bloodborne

 

[narutomaki04]

2min load is really bad

 

[Zedox]

Can you elaborate on the bad gameplay? From what I see it seems fun. Obviously that's my opinion but I would just like to know what you feel looks bad gameplay wise.

 

[Rappy]

Okay, do you not realize the problem with this bolded statement and the point I am trying to make regardless of how I feel about the game? (Btw this is more about me ranting about these type of threads than defending the game)

I also said underperforming because that is a different context and HDD/SSDs can underperform under certain context.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Bloodborne is robbed of even its most egregious award now.

 

[leeh]

Christ all mighty that's bad.

 

[Shads]

That's pretty horrendous, hopefully the game is not filled with 1 hit deaths or bottomless pits.

Pretend I'm dumb. Explain it to me.
