Imagine if glados did a loading scree... .VALVE DO IT NOW!

 

[Kandrick]

They can't all be winners.

We all know Iori is the best.

 

[Zeal]

Yeah im sure we all love animu googoo garbage on our loading screens. Disgusting.

All you had to do was show Halo 1's loading screen, with the ring being illuminated across the screen from left to right.

 

[oatmeal]

I was always a fan of the bubbles in WAVE RACE BLUE STORM.

 

[NeoUltima]

Except when it sits there for 3 minutes and than says "Failed to Join Game"

 

[Walter Matthau]

I tip my hat to you sir.

You have just discovered RickRoll v2(tm).

lol

 

[MjFrancis]

The best loading screen, aside from none at all, is one that requires more interactivity than watching a DVD.

Excuse the crappy video quality, it just gets the point across that a minigame was inserted into the loading screen for shits and giggles. More interesting than the rest of the game, too.

 

[maomaoIYP]

Bayonetta.

This. The only loading screen that doubles as the game's training mode.

This comes up to my mind when I hear great/best loading screen.

 

[Caj814]

Why cant all loading screens be this awesome?

and she's an idol? I guess Japans music standards are worse than I imagined.

 

[Extra Sauce]

lol @ at the top YouTube comment... I have to agree.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Does FIFA (and NHL? and the former NBA Live) Arena count as a loading "screen"?

If so, that would be my choice. Sometimes just kicking the shit in the arena is funner than the game itself.

Best loading screen is Bayonetta.
You can practice combos if you want.

 

[Dark-VIII]

Bayonetta
DragonBall Bodokai used to have a funny mini game at loading screen

and the best of all is Classic Resident Evil

 

[Punkster_NY]

Great loading screen...for a pedophile

>.>

 

[Ein Soph Aur]

A little annoying, but I don't mind it.

 

[likedamaster]

Interesting.

I'm partial to MGS4's loading screen, though.

I also like loading screens that give you info/stats from your game, e.g. like GRID.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Who else here has suffered through Willy Beamish Sega CD? Suffer as I have.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

The best loading screen is the one that doesn't exist.

One of the things I love about Uncharted.

 

[MjFrancis]

Bayonetta likely has this title hands-down. Being able to pause at the loading screen and screw around with combos is more than anyone else has ever tried to my knowledge.

 

[Hato-kun]

Makoto is the best idoru. Also the twins suck

Mah maaaaang.

Yep saw that message a number of times last Wednesday when we fired it up.
Game hasn't aged well..

 

[sonicmj1]

Doesn't Namco have a patent on putting stuff in loading screens?

Well, it is a Namco game.

The best loading screen is one that doesn't exist, but Bayonetta's is a good compromise.

 

[Negator]

Somebody make a 30 minute version!

Oh shit! It exists!

Clearly this one's even better!

[SirIgbyCeaser]

Resident Evil creepy doors are the best.

 

[Bisnic]

Why would you do that OP?

What did we ever do to you?

What were you thinking?

 

[kutthoat5150]

One of the old test drive games let you play pong while it loaded up the race, can't remember which one it was though but I think it was for the original xbox

 

[Blueandigo]

Those Japanese loading screens are funny lol.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

So you wish load screens were 35 seconds long each time? Why?

 

[Shadow Hog]

Now that I think of it, if loading screens were more like this, they might be more bearable.

 

[Stinkles]

18 minutes. That's how long it used to take good Commodore 64 game to load. And half the time they would crash on completion. Y'all are bitches.

I would react with something like this if I had to endure it more than one time.

 

[maniac-kun]

Well the GPU just sits there most times and has nothing to do so i like the idea of adding something creative to a loadingscreen!

 

[glaurung]

The best loading screen is one you never see.

 

[sp3000]

Anyone have the music from the Halo 1 loading screen


It was amazing and I've never seen a copy of it

 

[Yoshichan]

I really liked the interactive DMC3 loading screen :3

 

[nickcv]

Mario Galaxy has the best loading screens.

they are so good that you may not notice they actually exist.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Phantasy Star Online

Controlling a magic ball of light around the screen during loading. Haven't seen it topped yet.

At 10 Seconds in.

Spoiler

Also. God damn that music! Makes me want to go and hunt out my dreamcast.

Beat me to it!

And was also beaten to Shadows of the Damned and the Resident Evil door loading screens...

Well, still got Lollipop Chainsaw.

The loading screens changed based on story events, this is simply the first one. All have different comic-style animations and weird catchy songs.

 

[Canis lupus]

Just as good.

Why is there a star wars ad?
