PSP Load time video
« on: February 26, 2006, 06:17:35 am »
Was thinking about buying a PSP but came across this little video.. Are load times slow on all PSP games? I have seen some slow loading games on the PS1 but this is ridiculous!

HOLY HELL!!!

I haven't played that game, so I can't say if its real or not... but.... wow.

I've never played a PSP game that took more than a minute to load.  In general, I can't even think of a game that sticks out as having bad load times.  They are there, but not bad, at least IMO.

I wouldn't let this stop you from getting a PSP... but I certainly wouldn't get THAT game lol
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

Yeah, I've never seen a PSP game load like that either.

Funny thing, the Gamespot review mentions nothing about ridiculously slow load times. The game gets overall high scores. I don't care for that WWF stuff personally.

Googling around, every review I've seen so far has mentioned long load times.

But the video said it best: if you were playing that on a train, you'd have reached your destination before the game had started.  Very poor QA from both Sony and THQ.  I hope that video convinces enough people not to buy the game that it hurts financially, and something is done about it.

The two games I've played had ridiculous load times.  I don't own a PSP though, was borrowing during lunch.
Next I'll be on fries, and that's when the big money starts rolling in.
