| Dodece said: I find this discussion highly informative. I have two questions. Firstly are these mandatory ads very common on the PS3, and are you having them on single player games as well. Secondly how bad is the load time issue on the PS3. I was under the impression that there were hardly any load times just like the 360. I rarely notice load times on 360 games, and they are usually less then ten seconds even on games like Oblivion of Fallout 3. I never even get the chance to read the little factoids. Never occurred to me that load times may be bad, or that you guys had to put up with commercials. |
1. i don't think they are common, i've never seen one in any game yet myself.
2. loading times aren't really much but you know how it is, between each game of KZ2 there is a bit of down time and they generally show game tips in these moments.
on topic: over all i dont' mind ads as long as they are done gracefully. if i'm playing a football game i pretty much expect ads on the statium walls (real or fake) so sony might as well make some money on it. but if i were playing something like WaW and a subway billboard showed up...umm no.
during loading times...well i wouldn't might then right now but if they became common/accepted i wonder all long it would be until the "lazy developers" had to rely on many more loading screens than the do now.
