Even if the bug is already fixed in the Day 1 patch? I mean, there's a reason for embargoes...

Wasn't there a Vita or PSP racing game with 2 minute loading times for like 30 seconds of gameplay?

I disagree. If there is a fault in the final disc version of a game, it is to be complained about in a review, because this is, what the game will always be without a connection to Microsoft's servers. Day 1 patches are not an excuse.

 

[blue_phazon]

It's not day 1 yet. He has *a* patch, but it's still possible for them to release more patches before launch.

I have a feeling it is the day 1 patch because reviewers got copies now. MS would obviously release the "day 1" patch when they send out review codes, so that it accurately shows how the game will be on launch

 

[Plasma]

That's awful, I really hope it gets a patch.

 

[louiedog]

Hopefully it's much, much better on PC. I find loading times in general to be pretty awful on my Xbox One when I do most of my gaming on an i5 and SSD, though this is extreme.

 

[stan423321]

Why sandwich time when it could also double as regret time?

Why regret time while it could be extinguished by a snack time?

Unless you mean that regret is for eating a sandwich instead of a creme de la creme, in which case, I disagree, but to each their own.

 

[Yaranaika]

Ya, I'm not risking it.
This, plus no review copies being sent out 3 days before release.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I was looking for a reason to wait on this because I really only have spare cash for this or dq7..

 

[Sword Of Doom]

I disagree. If there is a fault in the final disc version of a game, it is to be complained about in a review, because this is, what the game will always be without a connection to Microsoft's servers. Day 1 patches are not an excuse.

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

 

[Tripon]

What the hell are you talking about? The games not even out yet. Are we shitting on developers for bugs found before release now?

The guy who produced the gif bought the game and has the day 1 patch.

Do you expect something different upon 'release'? He's playing the game that Armature wanted people to play.

 

[T.O.P]

That's awful

Hopefully they fix it

GTA Online says Hi

Kept me from playing it. Destiny is another loading nightmare.

 

[diablos991]

Can we go back to cartridges yet?
Flash memory is cheap enough.

 

[Duxxy3]

Whelp... I guess I know where I'm installing recore if I ever get it.

 

[Dreamwriter]

I have a feeling it is the day 1 patch because reviewers got copies now. MS would obviously release the "day 1" patch when they send out review codes, so that it accurately shows how the game will be on launch

They wouldn't send it when they send out review codes if the patch isn't ready yet. It's very possible to send a partial patch, and spend one more week making sure the final bits of the patch are solid for launch.

 

[Menitta]

Maybe NXt gen.

 

[LowSignal]

Wow this guy tore the game apart. I think the load time might get patched but I we will see

 

[WadeitOut]

I have a feeling it is the day 1 patch because reviewers got copies now. MS would obviously release the "day 1" patch when they send out review codes, so that it accurately shows how the game will be on launch

We constantly have games that go out to reviewers without the day one patch so I don't know why you would assume that.

I also don't know why anyone with a decent PC rig would not play it on PC.

 

[Primethius]

I actually came in expecting some sort of tech.

My expectations were eaten alive.

 

[Maffis]

Dissapointing, but I'm glad I bought it on PC and installed on a SSD. Hopefully it isn't so long for me. Still really bad.

 

[Lighting Gels]

But... Is this a bug or does it happen everytime you die?

 

[Kaako]

Surely this will get patched right? Cause that's absurd.

 

[Theorry]

Ya, I'm not risking it.
This, plus no review copies being sent out 3 days before release.

The reviewers already have the game?
And the embargo ends monday. A day before release.

 

[oti]

Usually when you die it's over for good, but in video games 2 minutes is a deal breaker.

whoa bruh

 

[Shiggy]

I also don't know why anyone with a decent PC rig would not play it on PC.

Windows 10 UWP exclusive


What's the review embargo date? Usually a bad sign when it's very late.

 

[NastyBook]

FFS, Sony...

Monday 5am pst

 

[Kaako]

FFS, Sony...

They couldn't afford to send their engineers to fix this one I guess...for shame. Sony dropping the ball all over the place this week.

 

[Fermbiz]

That dude should've used Play Date to purchase the game.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Arrogant Sony is back.

Spoiler

/s. just in case.

 

[Easy_D]

If I didn't knew the reference I would have to tell you that Europeans don't eat that

Oh, I did anyway

It's a Swedish thing. It's not uncommon, it's not a struggle sandwich, it's just something that can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee with a bowl of yoghurt on the side.

 

[Teasing_Pink]

All that needs is a juggling monkey and I wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a Neo Geo CD. That's atrocious.

 

[Doffen]

That sucks.

GTA Online says Hi

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

 

[Velcro Fly]

I remember Code Name STEAM getting shredded in reviews in part because of the long pre patch loading times. After a death not even connected to gameplay? Hope that day 1 patch fixes it. That is nasty.

 

[leaf_]

Time to think about life`s mistakes and how to move forward in this harsh world

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Wow that is impressive. The Witcher 3 was bad when you died as well. Id like to run this on a timer to see which on wins.

I am hoping this get patched. Day 1 maybe?

 

[Zombie James]

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

 

[Henkka]

So... that's bad.

 

[Rappy]

No it's not. 2 minutes load times is pretty damn bad no matter the context. I don't care if it's a bug. The ReCore devs pushed it though certification and people found it. Guess what, they got burned by their QA team. Tough shit, deal with the fall out of people mocking you and fix it.

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.

 

[chadskin]

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

Just Cause 3 v1.01 had load times of up to 4 minutes and in some cases longer, so I presume the answer is no.

I also don't know why anyone with a decent PC rig would not play it on PC.

Ah I see I didn't know that. I just assumed it was that way cause that's what logically makes sense.

Why do publishers send review copies with potential performance issues? Surely they want their game to be rated higher...

He says it happens every death and entering into new areas

[Just Don't Die.]
Im doing just fine lol. Only died 5 times from playing like 6 hours. Entering areas have just as long loading times

 

[Zombie James]

Just Cause 3 v1.01 had load times of up to 4 minutes and in some cases longer, so I presume the answer is no.

Just Cause 3 is such a colossal technical disaster I completely forgot its load times are shit, too. Yeah, guess not.

 

[hollomat]

Do people think it'll score higher or lower than mighty number 9?

The concept sounds fun and I'm very cautiously optimistic but it really doesn't seem to be looking good.

 

[jelly]

Sorry but that's terrible and I will not play it unless that's fixed.

How come other games make it instant or very short. I understand a new level or restart level being longer but checkpoints, no excuse for that.

 

[Phloxy]

Funny, the load times are my only complaint with the game but nowhere near the point where I regret playing it. The rest of the game is super solid so far and this video isn't really indicative of my experience with it. I'll have some videos up soon to show off more of the loading stuff, but so far people who have played the game and myself haven't let the load times stop our enjoyment of it in the least.

 

[blue_phazon]

Easily higher. Mighty no.9 was a shit game with shit performance. At least the impressions of this game seem to be that it's fun

 

[Kaako]

Do people think it'll score higher or lower than mighty number 9?

Expect an 8 average at best. That being said, fuck review scores. Play the games you wanna play.

 

[Jacksinthe]

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

IKR?

Unity hasn't updated their "dying engine" since Unity 0.1 closed Alpha.

Developers have zero control of how to handle respawning and performance.

ZERO CONTROL!

 

[dark10x]

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

https://twitter.com/pressstartkofi/status/774643634075496448

See, would you look at that! Someone providing more context! Not exactly the details I was looking for as a reviewer posts conflicting reports on the load times but it's a start!
