Forums - Sony - Killzone 3 Will Be Completely Streamed No Loading Screens!!

So, it's following the Infamous, GoW3, Uncharted 2 loading thing, I'm pretty sure we can expect the same thing to happen to all of Sony's first party games from now on.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

I will take up that challenge, obviously the fact that they are devoting resources to streaming the game will not look as good or run as smoothly as it could if they stuck with loading levels and devoted more time to polishing the visuals, there negative spin. 

But seriously I have always hated loading screens and it can be so bad in some games as to ruin the experience, take pre patch (and even post patch) the Witcher long ass loading screens whenever you move to a new area including small one room huts and then loading again after you hand in your quest and go to leave. It is always good to hear developers move to streaming. Speaking of the Witcher apparently Witcher 2 is only going to have loading screens at start-up and when moving between chapters, and they are looking to make the best looking RPG ever but I am not sure whether they can do that but no loading screens is enough to make me happy.

Check out my hype threads: Cyberpunk, and The Witcher 3!

Great news, there will probably be a system install which I dont mind I have 250gb HDD.  KZ2 loading during gameplay was kind of annoying but I didn't mind it that much.

That's awesome! Now if they can just make the controls more user-friendly like Call of Duty (at least an option in the settings) it will be an amazing game.

It has been confirmed to be more precise and accurate. However, the weighty sensation when you move is still there.

Unchated? is that what they call it nowadays? sounds a bit british i'd say lol jk



It just keeps getting better and Better.

All it needs is Split screen Play and it will be the perfect game. for me.



Atto Suggests...:

Book - Malazan Book of the Fallen series 

Game - Metro Last Light

TV - Deadwood

Music - Forest Swords 

There will obviously still be loading screens for multiplayer levels, just like their will be a loading screen when you first load singleplayer.  Much like Uncharted, the game will load further sections of the game during levels and cutscenes, but you will still have to do the initial load when jumping straight in from a menu.

However, given the optimized engine I expect these load times to be much shorter.

Edit:

Many people in this thread seem to be forgetting that the original Uncharted also had no loading during the story mode.  Uncharted 2 certainly wasn't the first to do it!



All I'm hearing about Killzone 3 is just incredible stuff.

Killzone 2's loading times were bad but soo glad to hear that it's all streamed!



Halo CE did this seven years ago.

Just a little note.

Yes, I know, this is about KZ³, but also about no loading screans.
