The True Source of Video Game Violence: Load Times

[Pilot_51]

Loading the loading screen must be a popular fad with the PSP fanboys. I can see it now: "My loading screen is so sweet it requires a loading time ten times as long as yours, and it stays for ten times longer than that!"

Oh very dear, can't you see it's hacked? >_> it isn't real :S

There's no proof he changed the length of time between screens though...he even made sure to skip all the cutscenes and stuff so it'd be as short as possible.

The news site Joystiq even posted about this, so...

Why would someone fake something so easily proven true or false? It's gotta be real. One thing though, he didn't go through the interactive parts as fast as possible, so subtract maybe 20 seconds from the final result.

Lol, yes. I'd bet it's pretty accurate, though by navigating menus a bit more effectively they could probably cut out about thirty seconds. Not to mention they selected "New" rather than "Load", so that probably made it take a lot longer.

yeah good point but still thats a LOOOOOONG time!

It's still gonna take at least 5 mins.

The point of it was to show how long it takes to get from start into the first level of career mode...and I think he did that right. He could have been faster on the menus, but I think that only would have brought it down to about 6 minutes, which is still INSANE.

Watching that video, that 6 minutes felt like a lifetime...
