Armature is based off of Texas

Not the brain behind the game
And it's a good thing, imagine unity + jap dev....

I'll also do some tests from another sample vid , keep in mind the user in the OP is saying he's getting 2 minute loading times on every loading screen

Loading screen 1: 42 seconds
Loading screen 2: 40 seconds
Loading screen 3: 46 seconds

I also dont see any 2 minute loading times in this video or this video or this video or this video which all have similar loading times

Nearly all evidence points towards ~40 second loading screens, not 2 minutes.

This isnt exactly speedy, but its a far cry from what this user is apparently having

Go check the tweeter guy again, he has another video of the game changing zones loading and its around 1 minute loadings, (same time it took in a video i saw in the links u posted) the respawn is the one that goes for 2 minutes long.

Too bad I already bought it

Okay but that guy is using a hybrid and not stock

 

[Gentleman Jack]

30-40 second load times is still unacceptably slow. Why are people using those numbers to brush this 2m video under the rug?

 

[SOR5]

All of those different people are using hybrid and not stock?

let's wait patch 1.03 and then it will be good (even if still mostly over 30)
should work , no ?

 

[op_ivy]

Whelp fuck that

 

[LowSignal]

I'll wait for a reliable source before I jump to conclusions.

Nobody brushing nothing under the rug. Just showing that the 2min isnt a overall thing.

 

[I-hate-u]

It's part of the game design. Long, ridiculous loading screens are a great punishment for death

The real Dark Souls starts here.

 

[aspiegamer]

The real Dark Souls starts here.

I was one of those pathetic idiots who said they didn't mind the Bloodborne load screens because it let me cool down. Though I stand by that for my own personal experience, I never intended it to be an actual excuse for any of it. Will not deny that it was still dumb as hell to say and I was a moron for ever commenting about it in the first place.

At last, an even more pathetic example has arisen! Aah, weight off my shoulders. Feels good. Apologists with even less self respect than I! At least the 2 minutes seems limited to dungeons.

This should be in the OP.

 

[Lionel Richie]

I somewhat hope this is real just so when people ask the devs what the fuck is that they tell them to git gud.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Give me the details, what fillings in that Sandwich?

 

[B.O.O.M]

30-40 second load times is still unacceptably slow. Why are people using those numbers to brush this 2m video under the rug?

To make sure people make the right type of sandwich. 2m sandwich vs. 30 second one is very different

 

[Admodieus]

Interested to see how the PC version fares on an SSD, but people seriously preordered this game? There really is no hope for some of you

 

[op_ivy]

So, dying and reloading is only 40 seconds and not 2 minutes?

Whelp fuck that

 

[Odrion]

unity folks

 

[Copper]

I remember when Bloodborne had load times of 45 sec and people thought that was bad.

I actually kinda liked it because it gave me incentive to not die.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Yall be tryna set the standards for these games before they launch too much

 

[Dad]

Most of my loads have been in the 30-40 second range. I have had loads around two minutes, but that's usually when booting the game up. It's still slow and frequent enough to be annoying. This is postpatch

 

[RedAssedApe]

Why did I think bullet time when I read the title

You're a weirdo.

Did you bite the bullet?

Spoiler

wohoho

 

[AAMARMO]

Did the game come out early or did Microsoft gave out code to small Youtubers.

One day you'll understand and maybe you too will be able to do it.

I preordered a physical copy a few days ago because there's a $15 xbox rewards credit for preordering a physical copy. $25 is a solid price for a AA game no?

It'll be $25 by the end of the year if these load times are as long as reported and it gets trashed by reviewers. Really don't get why people feel the need to fork over any amount of money for an unknown like this.

And that's not to say that buying the physical copy of any Live Anywhere game is a bad value proposition.

 

[bishoptl]

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

My Commodore tape drive would like a word with you.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Ok, so now we have established that the OP is an outlier, how is the game? this will be the first Xbox I've bought since quantum break and rather not get burnt again. That game was so shit I nearly sold my Xbox because of it.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

My Commodore tape drive would like a word with you.

It'll have to load the message for a few minutes before it speaks, tho.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Shhh...these young uns have no idea how good they have it.

I remember the first time I loaded the second tape of the last Ninja. I'm sure it was like 10 minutes.

There's an impressions thread with lots of info and videos. Don't have a link atm though

The idea is that if I don't like it, I can trade it in and be close to breaking even. But with the gameplay I have seen, I think I'll like it.

My grandma has a TI99/4A in her house that I recall has some tape based games. Blows my mind lol.

 

[Kaako]

30-40 seconds of load time is still pretty shitty tbh. But sure as hell beats 2 fucking minutes lol.

 

[Yoshi]

Unfortunately that's the new norm now so it's not that simple

Well, that's like rating exams relatively: Just because all students perform badly it doesn't make a bad performance a satisfactory one. Besides, there are still a lot of games that are in good condition at launch without online required. Granted, a good percentage of them is on Nintendo systems, but it is still true.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I wonder how this game is going to review. I'm guessing 7.5 to an 8. But there is an making thought in my head that it is either a train wreck or a hidden gem masterpiece.

I'd guess probably around 6-8 range from what I've played so far. It's got some genuinely fun mechanics, but it's a little rough around the edges. It definitely feels like a AA smaller budget game, which may or may not be a turnoff to some

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not a good look.

 

[Don.Abbade]

GTA Online says Hi

GTA is almost "shower time" loading, argh.

 

[bounchfx]

almost as bad as morrowind on xbox, god damn (which was like 8-10 minutes... it was poop then rub one out then make a sandwich then take a nap time)

 

[Reversed]

It's the new "walk the dog cause Supernova" loading time.

 

[WickedLaharl]

I don't get how some people can find 30-40 second load times acceptable when last gen load times that long were enough to destroy a game.

None of that is true and especially so if you played on PS3.

 

[justsomeguy]

Oh dude I am so disappointed not to see "wash your hands" as item 3 in the list.

 

[Vire]

No no no, it's ONLY 40 seconds guys.

 

[ViciousDS]

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

Midnight club 3 psp edition says hello

 

[jmaine_ph]

Here are some more loading time examples from the same guy with descriptions on what the situation is.

Once again DEATH load time.

https://twitter.com/pressstartkofi/status/774691781040541696

New area load time

https://twitter.com/pressstartkofi/status/774690317882761216

Exiting Crawler load time

https://twitter.com/pressstartkofi/status/774689944182919168

Entering Dungeon load time

https://twitter.com/pressstartkofi/status/774689711533203456

All on standard 2TB Xbox One S

Edit: He also mentioned that not all of his load time videos were two minutes (which he never said) and that the OG video was his death load time. New area load times seems to be shorter than death load times. Both still long.

 

[Chip N Chance]

This game isn't going to be good is it? I really hope its good.
