yeah and honestly loading times are ridiculous. GTA is long, and Tiger Woods takes FOUR EVUR. thats why they didn't make american wasteland for psp, that game has no loading screens lol

How did they do that in American Wastleland, did it load while playing or what?

WTF @ TRIBAL

I dunno WHY you are going on about piracy and suggesting that I or anyone here endorses it, so get f*cked to you

But anyway, what birdman1 said about loading times this is not entirely true. Just because a game holds more data, doesnt mean it'll have higher demand on resources. As i said in the original post, develoeprs WILL refine their development and devise more efficient ways to compress data and take advantage of the PSP to it's full extent. This is very easy to do on cart consoles such as GBA or N64, because each game is, in a sense, a piece of hardware more so than software (having physical chips in the carteridge, some having extra RAM and processing modules). But even with optical cosnoles which is kind of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) when it comes to games (ie, the optical software will provide zero hardware changes); evolution of game content, playability and graphics ALWAYS evolve. ALWAYS.

American Wasteland was obviously a higer budget game than the others. Well, not necissarily, but they decided to focus a lot of finance on refining the game. Another game that takes a long time to load is Untold Legends (which i really like, despite the criticism of its repetitiveness) and it seems pretty big.

Well i can't really remember what my point was now....

Just give the PSP some time. In a few months, things will have already picked up (if not sooner).

Ok this is the most random post in the world. and i am the biggest newbie ever. where do you go to make a new form????
i need to no
i need to no
pleeze and thanks in advance

lesson learned... dont pay 800 bucks for xbox 360 cause the games are still crap wait a year and the prices will drop and the developers will know the limits of the hardware and most efficient way to run the game. Wipeout is only 200 megs? beh.. rarely any game takes up the entire media unless its loaded with cgs heh..

the only times in american wastelands that it DOESNT have loading screens is between areas. otherwise, there are tons of them.

you gotta remember the psp is still a handheld...they can't make the games as long as an actuall system

ureal, you are spot on. Exactly what i was trying to say, only not as retarded :P

the lcs iso is 1.2gbs
