Capcom's Seth Killian on Street Fighter 4 load times |
Does the long loading time of Street Fighter IV (PS3, 360) annoy
the crap out of you? Want to play match after match as quick as you
can? Capcom has been listening, and now Seth Killian comments on the
matter to put all your worries to rest.Here's what he had to say:
The recently shown builds were final in terms of contents, but were not actual retail discs. They are development ROM discs, which play on development kits.
Dev kit units are known to be a bit trickier than retail, and things occasionally have odd glitches there, but regardless of any she-said, he-said nonsense, when everything is working right, nobody noticed any differences between PS3 and Xbox load times.
Capcom had PS3 and Xbox SFIV running literally side by side all week at CES with no shame -- if there had been some loading difference between the two the hundreds of press who came through would have been all over it, and we might have even tried to avoid putting the two machines near one another.
We didn't because the game loads perfectly fast on both systems, especially if you opt for the installation on PS3.
When asked if an install is required for the PS3 version of SF4, he simply said that it's optional, adding that it's only for those who want quicker load times between matches.

optional install is definately the way to go.
Better mean, somebody loses, they hit A or X for rematch, and no longer than 1 second later the announcer is counting down the start of the next fight...
I could wait 2 seconds, but anymore than that gets annoying....considering i've had nights with 200+ fights of soulcalibur between me and a buddy....
Damn you install prompts after every act in MGS
