Resistance 2 No Loading Screens

Posted on 05. Jun, 2008 by Freak_c in Games, News

Some interesting news about Resistance 2 from an interview between Ted Price and Eurogamer. The interview was a little bit different as he answered live questions from different people on  the site. Ted price mentions and speaks about all sorts of things from, Resistance 1 to even what he is currently playing. He states a bit that thre will be no loading times in the game.

polymorph asks: What’s your opinion on installs?
Ted Price: Installs in some form or another are pretty standard for PS3 games these days. And I think for consumers it’s a good thing because it generally decreases load times. Or at least it should. Personally, I’d rather have a several-minute install the first time I play a game and then enjoy the benefits of faster loads every time I play the game after that.

So he doesn’t say if there will be a mantatory install for Resistance 2 but there could be one.

“We do have streaming of textures and other assets now,” said Price. “Not only does this improve the overall look but it cuts down on load times. In fact, you shouldn’t notice any loading screens in R2. We’ve also added a lot more tech-wise – detail maps, new lighting system, new effects system, better normal mapping, better specular response, redone shaders and lots of behind-the-scenes stuff that makes the game really stand out aesthetically.”

“You’ll see bigger ‘levels’ or ‘chapters’ this time around. And hopefully you won’t see any loading screens. At least that’s the plan!” News Source.
